I agree with God of War at number 1, best agme ever I think.


God of War isn't at #1 and it's definitely not the best game ever.

Last list was good, but this one sucks. Kingdom Hearts 1 instead of 2 is BIG FAIL. How can they put P3 instead of P4? (both should be there, of course).

San Andreas as no.1?? Vice City was much better. I can understand if you put GTA3, since it started all, changed videogaming and all that, but VC was better than SA, undeserved 1st place.

And Suikoden III ranked 24th last time and it doesn't appear this...nonsense


     Both Metacritic and IGN originally gave KH1  much higher review score than KH2.  The same thing GTA SA is the highest rated 6th gen GTA (and highest rated PS2 game at IGN with a review score of 9.9).  And it probably came down to a choice between Suikoden III, GrimGrimoire, and Odin Sphere for 25th place and they decided to give GrimGrimoire its day in the spotlight.  Also most people say you need to play Persona 3 before 4 to really appreciate Persona 4.

Not true.  I never played Persona 3 but I love P4.

 

Also, KH1 was there but not KH2 because IGN gave the former a higher score.  I never understood why they felt the sequel was inferior.  The game may be easier but the camera is better and there is less frustration.

That's odd, they accidentally wrote #4 instead of 1.

I get that gamers were disappointed but there is something wrong with reviewers.  Back when MGS2 originally came out, they said that the game was amazing and that it lived up to the hype.  Now they say that it was a disappointment.  Did MGS2 not age well?

 

No Persona 4?  Even after IGN gave it a higher score than either version of Persona 3.

I wanted to say that they might've put P3 in there because it was more fresh, had more charm and made the series popular; but they did put San Andreas instead of GTA3, so that cancels my theory out. I did enjoy P3:FES more than P4 for some reason - might of been the atmosphere and story.

I agree with the majority of the games, just not the placement. RE4 is pretty low - it's one of the best. God of War 2 is way too high. Also replace KH1 with KH2, remove Ico and Okami and replace them with Yakuza and SMT:Nocturne (best SMT game on the PS2, imo).

     Well that's the point.  You played Persona 4 before you played Persona 3.  I saw a thread on here awhile back where someone was asking whether they should play P3 or P4 first and most people said they should play P3 first to appreciate the improvements made in P4.  So, if you should play P3 first that might be why it made the list.

Uh...read it again. He said he NEVER played P3 and he loved P4 a lot
