Top 5 Original Playstation / Ps2 games.

[deadpoolRKO]

In the wake of this PSN downtime , i've been going back and playing old Playstation , Ps2 games. ( luckily i still have the original , backwards compatible ps3 )


I was curious to see what everyone's top 5 Playstation / ps2 games are.

or top 5 for each system. I didn't have a ton of games so i'm sure i missed out on some great ones ,

but mine are





Playstation ( no order )

- Spyro the dragon

- Twisted Metal 2

- Spider-man

- Bushido Blade 2

- WWF Smackdown !






Playstation 2 ( in no order )

- Socom 2

- Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3

- WWE Just Bring It

- Mortal Kombat : Deception

- NBA 2K6

[AT-Man]

Too many good games in too many series, so:

PSOne
- Final Fantasy VII-IX
- Legacy of Kain, both Blood Omen & Soul Reaver
- Resident Evil 1-3
- Silent Hill
- Spyro the Dragon 1-3

PS2
- Beyond Good & Evil
- Final Fantasy XII
- Resident Evil 4 & Code Veronica X
- God of War 1 & 2
- Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3
AND Silent Hill 2

Imma list also the best PSP games
- God of War games
- Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection
- Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles
- Silent Hill Origins



edit: seems that I tend to stick with a few series. Twisted Metal 2 was an awesome game and I liked the first one too. MK Deception was the best one of PS2 MKs because of the fantastic Konquest mode. Of other PS2 games I must mention the first Jak & Daxter, one of the best platformers ever. I didn't like the second one though.

Gex and Budokai were never good.

Also Smackdown Just Bring It is just awful in every sense of the word.

Smackdown just bring it , was awesome in it's time. It was the first Smackdown game for ps2 && the first one to have a story mode. It was innovative and really fun as a kid , to go back and play it now , yeah it would probablly suck.

& imo Budokai 3 is the best DBZ game to date. The most characters , good graphics for ps2 , & basically the same gameplay as every other dbz game minus a few tweaks they've added.

PSX:

Resident Evil (series, they were all good)
Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy VII
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Xenogears

PS2:

Metal Gear Solid 2
Kingdom Hearts (only the first one)
Beatmania (series)
Shadow of the Colossus
Okami

Making this list was actually hard, because PSX and PS2 had such a great library of masterpiece games.

[AT-Man]

Rayman didn't quite make it in my list, I have never completed it because it's relentlessly difficult. Now in my latest save I've got 0 lives and continues, so Iäm thinking of making a code to get 99 lives or sumthin'.

Lol.

I definitely think Ps2 has the greatest library of games ever. I love action games, a great sense of atmosphere, and Japanese developers. PS2 had this in spades.

This is a legit list. Wrestling, DBZ and sports games? Please.

It's really hard to come up with a top 5 for PS2 because it had so many amazing exclusive titles. That said my top 5 would probably be:
Persona 4
Okami
Shadow of the Colossus
We <3 Katamari
Metal Gear Solid 3

And that's leaving out stuff like Persona 3, the original Katamari Damacy, God Hand, the first Kingdom Hearts and the God of War games. Oh, also Raw Danger. I'd love to see Irem have the money to put some production values into the Zettai Zetsumei Toshi series.

The whole reason i made this thread was to expand my collection , i assumed that would be admired not ridiculed because i liked childish games , as a child.


I'm definantly going to have to check out Shadow of the Colossus & the Metal Gear series , they seem pretty consistent in everyones favorites.
