The Best Playstation 2 Games Ever

The top 5 best PlayStation 2 games ever:

5. Kingdom Hearts - Possibly the most nostalgic game I have ever played. Remember all those awesome Disney films you watched as a kid? Well now you can play in them, and battle against evil while you're doing it! Some of the levels that made me jump for joy were the Peter Pan level, Alice In Wonderland and Tarzan.

4. Final Fantasy 10 - One of the most in depth and emotional RPGs I've ever played. You take the lead as Tidus, the champion Blitzball player, who is suddenly taken by a giant wave one day, and wakes up in the future. FFX builds on the same principles that have made the series so successful, namely the battle system and the chance to summon great monsters to help you in your cause. The story is one of the best so far, and you really get a sense of friendship between the characters.

3. Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater - While MGS2 was an amazing game, and did so much for the genre (not to mention the fabulous graphics), you can't help but feel that the levels were rather crudely designed, and, well, a bit lame. Snake eater goes completely the opposite with this, and drops you off in the middle of a dense jungle. The suspense that you'll feel is nerve-wracking, since there's also no radar this time round!

2. Grant Turismo 4 - This makes it into the list of the best PlayStation 2 games ever for a few reasons: The stunning graphics, the massive selection of top-notch racing cars, the realistic driving gameplay and the overall presentation and put-together of the game. There's a real sense of reward when you start at the bottom, with little money to spend on your first car, to getting to the top end, racing million dollar cars against each other.

1. Grant Theft Auto: San Andreas - The fact that this game still has a huge online community to this day speaks volumes about the game, and how much detail is included. Entire communities have been set up simply around 'base jumping', whereby you fly to the top of a tall building, jump off, and then (hopefully) open your parachute before you land. The sheer size and detail of the 'sandbox' that you play in makes this one of the best PlayStation 2 games. You can spend half an hour driving from one end to another, whilst listening to the radio on your motorbike, and feel amazing doing so. The missions are varied and exciting, and the selection of weapons isn't bad either!
