The PlayStation 2 is widely regarded as one of the greatest game consoles of all times. Boasting an extensive library of great games, it's rather difficult to narrow the list down to the best of the best. Nonetheless, here is a compiled list of games that largely stand above the others and definitely deserve your attention if you happen to own a PS2.
Shadow Of The Colossus - This game revolves around a hero, who must defeat 16 massive creatures called 'Colossi' in order to break the spell on an eternally sleeping princess. The setting features a dark, eerie world and dark underlying story elements that will surprise you in the end. What sets this game apart is that the games bosses, the colossi, serve as the levels as well. You'll have to develop clever tactics and make use of everything available to you in order to conquer this game.
God Of War - Borrowing elements from Greek mythology, God of War and its sequel God of War II feature Kratos, a disgraced Spartan warrior. The game follows his story as he fights figures from Greek legends such as Zeus, the god of thunder, and Ares, the god of war. The game plays as a 'hack and slash', meaning you'll be fighting countless enemies in swarms, becoming more powerful and gaining new abilities and weapons to help you on your quest to claim vengeance against the gods.
Kingdom Hearts - Perhaps aimed towards the younger crowd, Kingdom Hearts is a story combining characters from Disney and Square Enix (The makers of Final Fantasy). An odd combination that actually works out well. You'll battle shadowy monstrosities known as the 'Heartless' in order to stop their overall plan to claim the hearts of Disney princesses. As strange as it sounds, the gameplay is quite good and the story is woven in an interesting manner.
Disgaea - A game that probably isn't as well-known as many other RPGs, Disgaea revolves around a demon named Laharl as he tries to conquer the Netherworld from other demons who desire to claim it as their own. Disgaea is a tactical RPG, played from an overhead manner. The gameplay is much like an elaborate chess game, with your warriors constantly destroying other warriors in order to claim victory. This is a long one, and to beat everything will take well over 60 hours.
Okami - Okami is portrayed as an oil-painting driven story of an ancient tale from Japanese myth. You'll play the role of a goddess in the form of a wolf as she desperately tries to destroy the darkness that threatens existence. Combining RPG and free roaming elements, Okami is best described as a work of art in motion, and definitely stands out as one of the best PS2 games.
Devil May Cry - Another hack and slash, feature a demon hunter known as Dante. Your quest will take you to an ancient castle where monsters are running rampant. Using your legendary sword and twin guns, you must send these demonic beings back where they came from, and find out just what has released them in the first place.
