the cutscenes looks pretty sweet

NovusTerminus5927d ago

I played the game back when it launched, and to this day it is one of my favorites.

Reibooi5927d ago

Would be nice if Square decided to come out with a sequel because there was hints of deep backgrounds to each character but I guess the chances are pretty much none.

Marceles5927d ago

As much as I still liked this game, I was always disappointed with the game not turning out like the trailer with the interactive environments (throwing chairs at enemies, kicking enemies off of railings, etc) and when the Matrix was popular it even showed the girl jumping in the air with the camera panning and then kicking an enemy. It was still a fun game though.

CobraKai5927d ago

Yeah, that was my one disappointment, not having the matrix shots. but other than that, it was pretty fun and beautiful to boot.

xwabbit5927d ago

Wish they would make a new one on PS3

Simon_Brezhnev5927d ago

Kudos for putting Kill.Switch and Chao Legion on the list. I love those games and agree they're underrated. Kill.Switch is one of my fav shooters on the PS2.

I'd buy this game again if it was re-released. One of the only beat em ups by SquareSoft and fun af.

isarai1666d ago

I still pop this in every now and then and play it through (it's very short) such a fun game

ApocalypseShadow1666d ago (Edited 1666d ago )

It wasn't that good of a launch game. Just pretty. SOR2 still embarrasses it. And that's on Genesis.

Urban Reign wipes the floor with it.

Top 10 PS2 Games/Series Of All Time?

Earlier this week, Sony confirmed that production of one of the most successful game consoles of all time, the PlayStation 2, has finally ended. With the completion of what was nearly a 13-year life cycle, Default Prime writer Mike Patuleia has decided to take a look back at some of the best games released for the console with a quick and dirty and highly controversial Top-10 List.

The title should read "MY top 10..."

a08andan4495d ago

Not necessarily. There is a "?" at the end, but it is still not very obvious so I agree with you. Would be better with what you suggest or "Are these the..." to make it a proper question :)

Ranma14495d ago (Edited 4495d ago )

My TOP 5:

1# FF10
2# Persona 4
3# Resident Evil 4
4# Kingdom Hearts 1
5# Dark Cloud 2 & GTA San Andreas (tied)

StockpileTom4495d ago

What about the game that pushed the concept of online multiplayer on consoles and included a headset to encourage communication? Or the 2nd game in that franchise that once had more players online than all of Xbox Live (at that time).

StockpileTom4495d ago

Yes, it is truly sad to see the slow death of hardcore shooters in favor of more on-rails campaigns and mindless multiplayer.

This on-rails action plague is destroying all genres not just shooters. I want games that make me think and not treat me like I have the intellect of a 2 year old.

I remember the joy of mastering a game like Castlevania II: Simon's Quest as a child and today it seems adults will whine incessantly over something with only half the difficulty. Okay I am ranting now... shutting up...

kratos_TheGoat4495d ago (Edited 4495d ago )

where is god of war series, mgs 2,3, jak and dexter, ratchet & clack, shadow of the colossus, tales series, Gran Turismo 3 & 4 and SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs 1,2,3 at??

A7XEric4495d ago

Sort of a bad top 10. No Jak, Dark Cloud, DMC, MGS, etc. I quit caring once I saw Hot Shots Golf

kingPoS4495d ago

Everyone's entitled to have a favorite game...or 10
