Guitar Hero may have changed party games for the next decade, but Guitar Hero 2was the series at its best. GH2 was developed at a time when the core concept of the franchise was "bitchin' rock/metal tracks that are fun to play on a plastic guitar" and not "fun karaoke songs that sort of also have guitars in them, maybe". Guitar Hero 2 was also the ...
The Sly Cooper series is a wonderfully unique blend of family-friendly action, stealth, and genuinely funny writing, and Sly 2: Band of Thievesexemplifies this better than any other entry in the franchise. Its genuinely enjoyable story is serviced by a varied and intriguing set of worlds to explore – along with the ability to play as Sly's whole cr...
For a game that was designed almost entirely around the escort mission – which were almost universally reviled, even back in 2001 – it ended up being nothing short of amazing. Part of that success is due to the quality of its puzzles, but just as important was how ICOdevelops the bond between its two main characters. It conveyed a deep personal con...
NBA Street, Volume 2is arcade-style basketball at its best. Visually flashy but easy to execute game breakers appealed to more casual sports audiences, while the superb ball handling and all-star lineup is irresistible to hardcore basketball fans. Featuring 4 game modes and the ability to unlock “street” and NBA legends alike, NBA Street is an ever...
Kingdom Hearts IIis a prime example of how sequels can improve upon their predecessor. While we certainly recommend playing the first before the second for the full effect, Kingdom Hearts II offered series-best combat thanks to a mix of magic, its signature Keyblade, different form states for protagonist Sora, and more. And its exploration of the m...
THUG took everything that was great in the Tony Hawk series and added to it. The story was fun and campy, the soundtrack was huge, with more than 70 licensed tracks, and the create-a-skater/park/trick features were super easy to use and surprisingly deep (plus, you could unlock and play as Iron Man!) While there were some mixed reactions from the c...
Long after Disgaea’s initial release, it remains one of the most iconic games of the generation. Enemy-filled isometric battlefields and a variety of characters with different skills and weapons are sure to keep you busy with all the tactical possibilities on your adventure with Demon prince Laharl across the Netherworld. Sure, it can be a grind at...
The Ratchet & Clank series was exceptional from the start, serving up lovable characters, galaxy-spanning stories, and loads of wacky weapons. The third installment, Up Your Arsenal, was the biggest yet, with a mountain of new gadgets and mini-games, alongside one of the most ambitious online modes ever seen on console at the time. What other game ...
With its mix of action and exploration, unique world and a diverse, charming, hilarious cast of characters, Beyond Good & Evilis one of the PS2’s standout classics. Its world is packed with dive bars brimming with weird monsters, a hovercraft repair shop run by Reggae loving rhinos, and plenty of lore and secrets to uncover. There’s really nothing ...
Whether racing around its streets, slaloming in and out of traffic, or trying to cause as big a mess as possible in crash mode, Burnout Revengewas built on one thing: speed. The short bursts of action piled up as much as the vehicles in your way, and would often result in hours being lost in the quest to gold medal every event. Yes, the Takedown-in...
