I don't think there's a single game from this year in my all-time top 50, though there are still several titles that I like very much and consider great Mario Kart is always fun, and Double Dash is no exception, Final Fantasy X-2 has its positives including the excellent battle system, but it was a decided step down from its predecessor, Beyond Good & Evil was a great adventure game with an interesting setting and well-written characters, Ratchet & Clank was among my favourite series during the PS2-era and Going Commando was one of the best in it, but the game I'm going to vote for wasn't even listed.

The best game of 2003 was Tales of Symphonia. It introduced me to the series and made me a fan, and it remains one of the best games in it. Great music, battle system (especially in co-op), memorable characters, and one of the better stories in the franchise. As mentioned, there are no games from this year in my top 50, but there were still a wide variety of great titles released, Tales of Symphonia first and foremost in my eyes.
