The Best PS2 RPGs of All Time

IGN: "Our picks for the ten best role-playing games on the PlayStation 2."

Knightofelemia1509d ago (Edited 1509d ago )

Missing one of my favorite RPG's on the PS2 and that is the Xenosaga trilogy that one always seems to get the short end of the stick. I wish Namco would get off their ass and remaster the franchise I love that franchise trilogy to death I would buy it day one if Namco remastered it.

gold_drake1508d ago

u no, i just started playing it and just beat the first one and damn... this is "CUTSCENE the game"
there's just too many amd they are so damn long too. the story js overly complicated too lol
music is non existent beside the boss and random battle music.
the battles.. the difficulty is a random mess lol. and they're broken once u have a certain attack.
the second one i just started and its better yes, but i dont like shions model at all.

they're not bad games, but damn. u need some time to patience to finish them.

Knightofelemia1508d ago (Edited 1508d ago )

Xenosaga 2 they changed the character model fans got in an uproar about it and Xenosaga 3 the character models were changed back to the Xenosaga 1 way.

GhostTurtle1508d ago

I'm gonna be honest here. Might be an unpopular opinion, but that's a pretty shitty goddamn list they whipped up.

Why are they using a picture of Kingdom Hearts 3 Sora for a list of PS2 games...?

FallenAngel19841508d ago

How you gonna have a thumbnail of a PS4 & XO game when talking about PS2 games?

I’m not even gonna bother with this article

. FFX is way better then FFXII in almost every aspect

Terry_B1508d ago

FFXII has..

a better soundtrack
a more interesting storyline
is not as linear as FFX
more interesting characters
Ivalice
many more interesting sidequests
a job system <3

Honestly I couldn't disagree more. The soundtrack of X is world's above XII. the characters aren't as good. X has far more humour in the characters. XII is dark for the sake of it. Spira is a beautiful world too. I found the storyline of XII quite dull too and the main character is awful. (Yes Tidus isn't much better though)

Miraak82 1508d ago

The story is better and way more fleshed out in X and the music is just beyond memorable.
XII's summoning were lame and the license board was awful , I mean why did I need a licence to wear equip?
You say it has a job system but the combat wasn't great , in X every action in combat actually mattered
It's probably the worst interpretation of ivalice I've seen , FFT, Vagrant story and even FFXIV did better , XII feels like a wannabe Star Wars. Non-linear doesn't always mean better .......

gold_drake1508d ago

yes.
12 is damn boring. i don't like MMOs at all. i dont like any of the characters beside Fran and Balthier, the music is what u would expect from that type of environment and the best characters dies literally in the first 5 mins of the game haha.

10 is the better ps2 final fantasy game. in every way possible

I agree, I like SH3 the most though.

Cacabunga284d ago

Auto Modellista will always be one of my favorite racers of all time..

gold_drake286d ago

id throw haunting ground into the mix. it still looks fantastic.

but i still dont quite understand why we never got a dragon quest 8 remaster for ps4. even the damn 3ds got one.

OtterX284d ago

I'd add Rogue Galaxy, Shadow of the Colossus.

Scissorman284d ago

Silent Hill 3 was straight up sorcery. It has better hair animation than most modern games, which is wild to me.

Venoxn4g283d ago

I would throw in MGS3 as well

It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

ApocalypseShadow574d ago

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

Cacabunga573d ago

Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX

are some of my all times favorites missing on that list

shinoff2183573d ago

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

CoNn3rB573d ago

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic573d ago (Edited 573d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo573d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic572d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.
