- Final Fantasy X
When I think of a game that defines a system, I think of Final Fantasy X. Not only did it elevate one of the most loved RPG franchises to a whole new level, it sold the world on the PlayStation 2. Final Fantasy X gave us better CG animation than the theaters at that time had, and an unforgettable gaming experience. Final Fantasy X is the one game all PS2 owners must have. RPG Runner-up: Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance
2. Gran Turismo 3: A-spec
There have been jaw dropping PS2 games, but Gran Turismo 3: A-spec left your chin on the floor. No-one thought that graphics of that caliber were possible outside of a pre-rendered cut scene. GT 3 introduced a level of detail that set the bar for other racers of the future. From the recording of actual engine and tire sounds to the measuring of the real courses, it was the most realistic racing game to date. Racing Runner-up: Gran Turismo 4
3. Grand Theft Auto- San Andreas
Grand Theft Auto 3 created the free roaming crime spree genre. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City proved that it could be made into one of the most addictive games of all time. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas proved that Rockstar could make one of the biggest videogames of all time into one of the best. GTA San Andreas is easily the biggest game universe ever. The game captured the 90’s like no other media experience has. Free-Roaming Runner-up: Mercenaries
4. SSX 3
Who would’ve believed that anyone would have thought that making an extreme-sports game less ‘extreme’ would make it a better game? A tip of the hat to EA Big for toning down the zany-ness of SSX and delivering the best winter sports game ever. Exploring the entire mountain in SSX 3 took hours of pure bliss. Extreme Sports Runner-up: Tony Hawk’s Underground (THUG)
5. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
The Metal Gear Solid franchise turned gaming on its head by creating the stealth-action genre. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty provided a cinematic style of play, unforgettable characters, and a welcomed emphasis on non-violent solutions to problems. All of the SOCOM and Splinter Cell games owe their existence to MGS 2. Stealth Action Runner-up: Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

A list such as this couldnt help but be biased, because a game that appeals to me could be vile to another. Take for example my favorite game; God of War. I think it’s a great game with all of it’s blood and guts but to Speedy mc speeder pants, the best game ever is Grand Turismo 4.
I’m not saying that you arent entitled to your opinion, but it’s just so difficult to make this kind of list with such a wide variety of Ps2 games. That said i would like you to look at my list with a different eye than you normally would.
