I can't imagine boiling down the PS2 catalogue to 20 games, especially with that 1-per-series rule.
Don't be surprised if that's exactly what they do next year or a year after.
In an ideal world this is what the PS2 Classic would look like (assuming the 1-per-series restriction):
1. Beyond Good & Evil
2. Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
3. God of War 2
4. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
5. Katamari Damacy
6. Killer7
7. Killzone
8. Kingdom Hearts
9. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
10. Odin Sphere
11. Okami
12. Persona 4
13. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
14. Psychonauts
15. Ratchet & Clank
16. Resident Evil 4
17. Shadow of the Colossus
18. Silent Hill 2
19. Tales of the Abyss
20. TimeSplitters: Future Perfect
1. Meh...I mean I feel this game was way too overrated.
To me it's basically non-Nintendo Zelda, my go-to Platonic ideal of 3rd person action-adventure.
2. Fine.
3. Choosing between God of War 1 and 2 is hard for me.
Yeah but having recently replayed both (the PS3 remasters) I feel like GoW2 is the better-rounded experience. First game overdoes the puzzle-platforming, especially towards the end (ie. Hades). Also there're only three bosses.
4. Fuck that, San Andreas > Vice City. San Andreas has aged far better gameplay wise.
Won't contest that but I never did finish San Andreas so I can't really judge.
7. Killzone?
8. Kingdom Hearts 2 is just more fun.
More polished for sure, I just prefer the first game's worlds. And I don't much care for that 5 hour prologue in KH2.
9. Agreed.
10. No comment since I never played Odin Sphere.
11. Fine
12. Never cared for Persona games yet.
13. Sands of Time is way too simplistic and repetitive. I prefer the sequels.
I couldn't stomach that butthurt Warrior Within sequel. Third game course-corrected but had those annoying Evil!setpieces. Also it just doesn't feel the same without the Farah banter.
14. Never cared for this one.
15. Going Commando, Up Your Arsenal, or Deadlocked/Gladiator.
Really any R&C works, beginning with Going Commando the games change very little.
16. Fine.
17. Yes
18. Fine.
