Best year for Playstation2

Post by Auron_Amarth »

What year during Playstation2's life do you think had the best games? Its safe to say the PS2 is dead, I don't think there are any new releases coming out. For me, it would be very early on, 2001. The amount of quality games that came out in 2001 was amazing:

Final Fantasy X
Grand Theft Auto 3
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Devil May Cry
Silent Hill 2
Ico
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
Gran Turismo 3: A Spec
Twisted Metal Black
Onimusha: Warlords
Red Faction

2001 is a very close second, but for me it would be 2004. Just so much awesomeness that year.

Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
Jak 3
Katamari Damacy
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
Metal Gear Solid 3
Sly 2
Burnout 3

I have to agree with 2001, just because the console was so "futuristic" to me at the time.

Didn't Shadow Hearts also come out in 01?
