What's especially interesting about modern 2D games is that not all of them use old-school sprites or hand-drawn art. Some of them actually use 3D graphics for all of the visuals, but keep the gameplay in a 2D perspective. The PS2, in particular has a nice balance of 2D games in both artistic style and gameplay.
Originally North American exclusives, Twisted Metal III and 4 will soon be playable on PS5 and PS4 via the Classics Catalogue.
Twisted metal 3 and 4 are unrated, not as good as the first two but still good
the 4 player split screen is awesome, used to play it on my PSX all the time
Delve into The Simpsons: Road Rage and relive the fun of driving through Springfield in this classic PS2 game.
If a Star Wars Battlefront 3 was born of the series' recent hype, it would hopefully lean on every bit of Star Wars lore and iconography possible.
people always are complain about 2D games but i say if they have a good storyline and great gameplay then who cares?
shikigami ftw. i love that game to death
Heh, by far the best 2D game on the PS2 or the PS3 is Final Fantasy Tactics from the original PS.
2d games rock and hopefully they will see a renaissance and I love Racketboy its one of my fav sites
Gradius 5 and Rtype Final rock, as does Contra SS. Klonoa 2 was sorta so-so though, and good luck finding a copy of Marvel vs Capcom 2. Red Star I recently traded in, but was a solid fun game. I also thought Neo Contra was a blast to play despite putting off some Contra purists.
