Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy (Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, and Banjo-Kazooie are 3 of my favorite video games of all time, and I would consider Jak and Daxter to be as good as, if not better than, all 3 of the platformer games that I've played or owned on the PS2, J&D is by far my favorite, seconded only by Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and is even more fun to play than that game, which is quite an accomplishment)ĥ3. Tomb Raider Anniversary (Prior to grabbing this game, I had never before played any of the TR games - including the original - but was familiar with the character the game, for me, was incredibly hard, but also incredibly fun it also reminded me in a lot of ways of one of the only video games that I've ever played on a computer: Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, which was awesome, given how fun the former game was)ĥ5. Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (Square/Square-Enix has made some of the best RPGs of all time, and ST:TtEoT ranks up there amongst the best games the company's ever produced, IMO this game, for me, is as iconic - and fun to play - as games like the original Chrono Trigger, and the cast of characters is extremely memorable another thing that makes the game so great, for me, is the setting and theme, since it's like an amalgamation of two of my favorite things ever: Final Fantasy and Star Wars)ĥ7. ![]() Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (I really liked this game, but, for some reason that escapes me, I ended up getting rid of it anyways it reminded me in a lot of ways of the original Gauntlet Legends and Gauntlet: Dark Legacy arcade games, and is a game that I would definitely like to repurchase at some stage)ĥ8. Star Wars Battlefront (I personally prefer the sequel, Battlefront II, because it's a deeper game, but the original game is a lot of fun, and reminds me in a lot of ways of the multiplayer modes from games like Halo and the N64's Goldeneye 007)Ħ6. Tourist Trophy: The Real Riding SimulatorĦ9. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theoryħ0. ![]() The game is brilliant from start to finish, and has a lot of game mechanics that remind me in many ways of games like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask and Okami)ħ2. The Mark of Kri (This game is one of my absolutely favorite games and is one of the best 'non-traditional' action RPGs I think I've played in a long time. ![]() Final Fantasy XII (I'm a huge fan of both the RPG genre in general and the Final Fantasy series in particular FFXII isn't as good of a game, IMO, as some of the other entries in the series, most of which were released - or re-released - for the PS1, but it's still a great game and one of the best RPGs in the PS2's library)ħ7. ![]() In the interest of sparking discussion, I'm going to include each game in the list, as well as, where applicable, my thoughts on said game(s).ħ9. Although not every game on the list is to my liking or taste, I was very pleased with the list overall, particularly their #1 selection. I thought I'd start a discussion about the recently completed IGN countdown of the 100 greatest titles in the PS2's massive library.
