![]() The 2002 Game Boy Advance port brought the game to a newer generation of Zelda gamers who got into the series following Ocarina of Time’s breakout success. Some old timers still swear that A Link to the Past (and not Ocarina of Time) is the greatest Zelda game ever made. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Four Swords) (GB Advance) – 91.72 A subpar single-player mode kept the game from climbing higher on this list. This was a byproduct of the PlayStation 2 not having many other great shooters.Ĭritics praised Time Splitter 2’s framerate and local multiplayer component and felt that it was the best shooter available on the PS2. Time Splitters 2 was a multi-platform release, meaning it was not a PS2 exclusive thought it scored higher on that platform than in other versions. However, the PS2 did have some decent shooters like Time Splitters 2 in its catalogue. Sony’s machine, as the least powerful hardware of its generation (well, the third most powerful hardware ahead of the Sega Dreamcast), did not handle first-person games as well as the Xbox or even the GameCube. The PlayStation 2 was not known for its first-person shooting prowess. Game Informer called the game “the best Mario game to date.” Praise like this managed to bump Super Mario Sunshine into the 10 th place on this list. While most critics never considered Sunshine to be the superior Super Mario game in the franchise, some did. The game ended up selling 5 million units which was an impressive number given the lower sales of the Nintendo GameCube as standalone console.Ĭritics praised the game’s graphics, sound, and gameplay mechanics. At the time, the game must have featured some of the most impressive water effects yet seen in a video game. Sunshine was a challenging and good-looking romp. After all, when has Miyamoto and Nintendo EAD ever made a bad game? Super Mario Sunshine introduced new gameplay elements powered by Mario’s water pack. Super Mario 64 set an impossibly high bar that a tropical themed Mario couldn’t vault over.Ĭritics gave the game great scores, not Mario 64 ‘great’ scores, but amazing scores nonetheless. I will be honest I did not enjoy Super Mario Sunshine the first time around. Yes, 2002 was a great year! Today we travel back twenty years in order to explore GameRankings’ best games of 2002!

Thankfully, the community has made it accessible for people to experience the Berserk game on PS2 via a fan English patch. In this world, is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the hand of god hovering above? At least it is true, the best Berserk game was never released outside of Japan. If it wasn’t for the great Berserk community, this game would have been lost to time. The developers have used a Motion capture process to bring a sense of realism. The voice acting and soundtracks are well-done as well as the controls. The game does a great job at emulating the manga, featuring over-the-top hack and slash action with some incredible finishing moves. It has you controlling the legendary black swordman Gatsu on his quest to kill his former best friend, Griffith.
