Oh and there’s FantaVision to scratch that puzzle itch. Beat em ups? Oh hey, Dynasty Warriors 2, which kickstarted the Musou empire (remember, the original Dynasty Warriors was a fighting game!) was a launch title. Shooters? I can’t tell you how many hours I sunk into Unreal Tournament bot matches on Facing Worlds. Dug fighters? Tekken Tag Tournament kept me entertained for years. Have you ever Googled the launch lineup of a random system for fun? The PS2 has one of the wildest selections in history.Īlongside a few of the most notorious launch games of all time ( Orphen: Scion of Sorcery), the PS2 hosted cult classics like Summoner, as well as gems such as FromSoftware’s Eternal Ring: a follow-up to their successful King’s Field series, ages before they were known for the Souls franchise. Having lived through every console launch since the mid-80s, I’ve seen some stuff. When I asked our readers what they thought in 2019, the PS2 won our poll by a landslide.ġ0 years later and I don’t think I’ve changed my mind. The PS2 officially turns 20 this week in North America: let’s remember it together. When I first started my Destructoid profile over a decade ago I noted that the PS2 is probably my favorite console, right alongside of the Dreamcast.
As some of you may know, I’ve stuck by the PS2 through thick and thin.
