Do you know what the 7 best PS2 games of all time are? Well, today I'm going to mention what these 7 are, and I bet anyone that nostalgia will hit you when you remember these games. After all, PS2 Games marked the childhood of many people, and not to mention that this video game is considered one of the greatest consoles ever made.

And we don't think that the PS2 is one of the greatest consoles of all time, because there is proof of that. And that proof is as follows, the PS2 ranks first on the list of best-selling consoles of all time. To give you an idea, since its launch in 2000, more than 155 million units have been sold.

And it is worth remembering that he only officially arrived here in Brazil, that is, in our country, in 2009.

What Made the PS2 So Successful in Brazil?

The PS2 arrived here in Brazil at a time when the internet was not as advanced as it is today. Young people at that time didn't have many options to spend time and have fun with their friends, until… The Playstation arrived, which at that time completely changed the way children and young people had fun, which was playing video games.

And it wasn't a video game of those small ones that fit in the palm of the hand, it was one connected to the TV, and that had DVD reading. The person could simply control football games, fights, races, etc. on TV, using only one controller and their hands.

And what made the PS2 a great success was certainly its catalog of games, which aroused the interest of children, young people and adults. And those who didn't have money to buy the Playstation at that time could just get some coins and go to a rental store.

In this video store, you could rent a Playstation for a few minutes or hours, you played there, what do you mean? These rental companies had TVs, Playstations and chairs, just sit and play for the time you paid for, simple. Only those who lived through that time know what an incredible feeling it was.

When did the PS2 stop being made?

As we said before, the PS2 was released in the year 2000, and a year later, in 2006, its successor arrived, the PS3. However, the success of the PS2 was so great, that despite the arrival of the PS3, it continued to be manufactured and sold worldwide.

And this continued until the year 2013, when the PS4 arrived, which Sony informed that it would stop manufacturing the console. And in these approximately 13 years of the PS2, more than 4000 official games were released, licensed for the console, and you know what the last one was? The last game released for PlayStation 2 was Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 released on November 8, 2013.

Anyway, now that you know when the PS2 was released and when it was finished manufacturing, let's get back to the main subject. And the main subject of this article is to quote for you which are the 7 best PS2 games of all time.

It is worth remembering that this list with the 7 best PS2 games are not in order of quality, but randomly.

Patch pump

I'm going to start this list of the 7 best PS2 games by citing one that certainly marked millions of people here in Brazil. And yes, I'm talking about Bomba Patch, I bet you remember this little song: “One hundred percent updated, It's hard to put up with, Bomba Patch is a fad Everyone wants to play”.

And I don't know if you know this, but Bomba Patch was created by a Brazilian, Allan Jefferson. And this soccer game is actually a series of modifications from the Pro Evolution Soccer series of soccer games.

And this modification was made on PES 6, which was actually a joke that became fashionable all over Brazil.

This is one of the favorite games for people who enjoy action, horror and shooting games, and it was and still is very successful. Resident Evil is a video game franchise owned by the video game company Capcom, and was created by Shinji Mikami.

God of War

Now it's time to talk about one of many people's favorite games, which is none other than God of War. This game features the Kratos, I'll bet anyone you know him or at least have heard of him.

God of War is based on different mythologies, where Kratos was tricked into killing his family by his former master. Kratos is a Spartan warrior who, and his former master, is the god of war Ares. And that ended up generating a series of events that triggers wars with the mythological pantheons.

FIFA

And let's go back to talking about a football game in this list with the 7 best PS2 games of all time. And this game is none other than FIFA, which certainly marked the lives of many people at the time of PS2.

And the last FIFA for PS2 was 14, and its release took place in 2013, that is, almost a decade ago. Of course, since then other FIFAs have been released, but they no longer run on PS2.

A detail that you may not know is that FIFA 23 will be the last game in the history of the franchise that will bear that name. The next ones to come will be called EA Sports FC.

And many consider Need For Speed as the best racing game franchise of all time.

GTA San Andreas

Well, I couldn't help but mention in this list about GTA, which is certainly one of the best PS2 games that ever existed. The game takes place in the fictional state of San Andreas. Where the game's protagonist has to deal with gang wars, clashes with police and relationships with his family and friends.

What made this game a tremendous success was the dynamic that exists in it, where the player does what he wants. Of course, in the game there are consequences for doing what you want, such as being chased by the police, gangs, etc... And suffering this persecution is what makes the game fun.

The PES which is now called eFootball was published by Konami, and its arrival on the market took place in the year 1995.
