It is nearly impossible to pick the ten best PlayStation 2 games, as there are too many amazing games to choose from. I know some of your favorite PS2 games are not on this list; some of mine are missing too, but sacrifices were made in an attempt to cull the list down to 10. In an effort to be fair, I have tried to include a game from each genre. Note:The runners-up I list represent the runner up for the genre, not for the place on the list.
When I think of a game that defines a system, I think of Final Fantasy X. Not only did it elevate one of the most loved RPG franchises to a whole new level, it sold the world on the PlayStation 2. Final Fantasy X gave us better CG animation than the theaters at that time had, and an unforgettable gaming experience. Final Fantasy X is the one game all PS2 owners must have.
