IGN has posted their list of the top 100 PS2 games.

http://www.ign.com/top/ps2-games

What's everyone's take on the list? Would you say it's accurate?

I feel the games included in the list are definitely the best, but some of the ordering is off. KH2 as number 73? Final Fantasy X as 24? Vice City better than San Andreas, and GTA 3 better than both VC and SA?

I think a lot of the controversial choices of the list were based on what the game meant to the PS2 as a whole and not based on how good the game was compared to another. I love Shadow of the Colossus, but I wouldn't say it was the best PS2 game.

Also there is a a sad lack of Parappa the Rappa !

This list is sooooooo stupid.

PS2 was my weakest console for gaming. I'd just left home and had next to no money to spend on video games, so I have to admit that I missed out on an awful lot of these games.

Save for Ico, FFX & FFXII, I played barely anything in that entire list! >.< I think FFX really should've been higher though. I think that the majority of games that scored higher than that were all fairly similiar and they've cast penalty on the RPG genre.

Cant believe the ranks they gave kingdom hearts.

But the list inspired me to go find some second hand ps2 games.

Smells of opinion and looks rushed. There's many titles that are misrepresented like FF12. Just a quick research shows FF12(they list as #79) had twice as many sold copies in US as Soulcalibur 2 (they list as #29). FF12 had 5.7million copies worldwide while SC2 only sold 1.8.

Oh well. Stuff like this is fun to get some title ideas to revisit and to walk down memory lane. PS2 has some amazing titles. One of my favorite consoles ever.

Edit: Fixed FF12 numbers

It should be opinion based though. If not, then amazing games like Shadow of the Colossus would have never made the list. Clearly they are a bit misled in some of their opinions. I don't think I'd even include FF12, but that's just my opinion.

I think this paints a sad picture of this generation... The list we see represents a PS2 lineup of about 5-6 years. We're about 6 years into the PS3 right now. Can you honestly say there are even 100 games that could make it to a list like this. Are there 100 great PS3 games? And how many are as good as the 100 great PS2 games...

I totally put 3.3 million for worldwide FF12, it was 5.7 million. I have no clue where that other number came from.

Well, to be honest, everything is opinion based. So I guess my point is it being more broadly opinionated if anything. Because while sales don't tell the whole story, huge sales say something. While some don't like FF12, others love it to death. I've seen so many videos/blogs of people/groups doing unlevel challenges and perfect games and getting 99 of everything. And that was my point, it was huge for many people (a good portion of 5.7 million people).

That was essentially my thoughts when I was commenting on it being a nice walk down memory lane. There were SOO many games and most all were classics or great in their own mind. I just don't see that anywhere in my library of Xbox360 or PS3.

Oh well, it's great we can just go out and buy a PS2 slim and snag up tons of PS1-2 titles and play them all over again. (if they don't cost 200 bucks)

Having a look at the list i don't see anything wrong with it besides it's all based on opinion of the person making the list anyway.

Why's that? Just because the writer of that article had a different opinion to you? I'm looking at this list and there are a lot of good games on there. Sure, they might not be as high on the list as some would like them, but at least they're there.

On a side note...Project Eden, I hate you...Stupid thing didn't work....
