Top 10 Great Games That Were Reviewed Terribly

Dark Cloud 2 was one of the best for games on the ps2. It had weapon customization, city building, combat mechs, and even a fun golf minigame.

SSX Tricky was an amazing Game from the soundtrack, getting higher and lower. When you're doing an Uber trick to the Uber tricks themselves. It's all in all, just super fun

Shadow of Rome was one of the best PS2 games few people I know have heard of. You played as a Gladiator in the arena for most of the game. It was all about the blood sport and appeasing the crowd by cheering after doing something new. New things included cutting off one arm, cutting off both, cutting off the head, cutting them in half, or my favorite cutting both arms off and then in half. You could throw heads into the crowd which they loved you for. Seriously a phenomenal game. But, and there it a but. All that sweet combat was punctuated by infrequent sneaking missions.

For my money it has to be Def Jam FFNY. It had incredibly deep fighting mechanics, an incredible soundtrack, amazing visuals for the time, an engrossing story. I feel like it really goes underrated and deserves a spot as one of the greatest fighting games of all time.

Interesting fact, one of the writers for Alien Isolation was Dan Abnett. If you know, you know. And Jules will certainly know.

My all time favourite game is DefJam2: Fight for NY! It’s the reason I still have my ps2 hooked to my tv!

Shadow Hearts was an amazing JRPG with a unique combat system in the Judgement Ring. Its 'real world' setting with dark monsters and awesome characters made it a joy to play.

Dunno if it has to be PS2 exclusives but "Urban Chaos : Riot Response", an amazing FPS that pushed the PS2 beyond what I thought was possible and ran smooth as. Utterly brutal game that encouraged you to replay and replay to get the medals and unlock more weapons, an idea not uncommon now but I don't remember seeing before (at least for a single player game)

I'd also mention: Elex, Steelrising, Dune 2000, Hellpoint, Armies of Exigo, War Front: Turning Point, ParaWorld, Silverfall, Vampyr Of Orcs and Men, LotR: War of the Ring, Viking: Battle for Asgard, LotR: War in the North, Remember Me.

was expecting Jules, and was greeted by a warming accent, nice to meet you nathan

Terminator Resistent is pretty fun!

Test drive Eve of Destruction was one of the best games for the PS2 in my eyes. The variations of demolition racing in that game coupled with the graphics that it had, and extremely tight controls made it one really good game to play both solo and with a friend.

Ryse is to Xbox as Order 1886 is to PS

Dredd Vs Death & the Kane and Lynch games are brilliant. The videogame equivalent to popcorn cinema. It's nae going to earn art wards but it's a great game that's aware that they're games.

Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy is a hidden PS2 gem that needs to be talked about more.

The PS2 is the bestselling console of all time with a huge library of games. Here are but a few of my favourites: Ghost Recon Jungle Storm, Tony Hawk's Underground 2, Dynasty Warriors 4 and Genji.

Where is days gone?!

My all time favorite ps2 game was Castlevania: curse of darkness. The music was fantastic, isaac was a frustrating yet fulfilling nemesis, the innocent devil evolution tree using crystals obtained from different weapons was great. And the weapon crafting system itself was incredibly vast and fun for it's time, not to mention all the fun easter eggs involved in it's multiple levels.

Respect some of the out there takes that we don't typically see. I remember playing knack the first time, I got it for free with the system and didn't expect much and was happily surprised

Damn, hit the list off hot with my personal favorite panned games! Good on ya!
