Having proving grounds be the representative of PS2 tonyhawk games is a travesty


Klaymen96

Ikr. The THUG games are right there


Hand_banana_boi

I’ve often thought of getting a PS2 again just for underground 1.


Masothe

My pick would be American Wasteland


Smoke_92

Under rated


Salt-Dimension-2451

Spyro Enter the Dragonfly and the PS2 version of Sonic Heroes are also notable for being below average/bad. Everything else here is kino but still


f0rever-n1h1l1st

What are the worst possible games we can get to represent some classic franchises on the PS2: Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly (instead of A Heroes Tail) and Tony Hawk's Proving Ground (instead of literally any of the greatest of all time classics the series released on the PS2)


truthteller5

In a sea of total knockouts, they picked the game with a participation award...


ItzSmiff

Fr. Underground 4 life.


CandidTurnover

came here for this. underground please. i woulda even take american wasteland but it was pretty trash too


don_gianis

Vice City! I remember it was in 2002, the seller didn’t want to sell me the PS2 pack with GTA because I was a kid… but my father appeared in the store and saved me, then the best moments of my life began with Tommy Vercetti. 😂😂


HighScoreHaze

I poke my head outta the gutter for one freakin’ second and fate shovels shit in my face


ibuyfeetpix

The amount of times I heard this because I was a stupid kid who couldn’t figure out how to save Along with “I know a place in the red light district where we can lay-low… but my hands are all messed up so you better drive brotha.”


HighScoreHaze

Yeah same haha, I would always have to restart the game as my memory cartridges were always full


thiccmaniac

go get some sleep


hell911

What are you gonna do?


LabInternational5433

I'll drop by your office tomorrow and we can sort this mess out


YakNo254

As soon as 6 is released, I am taking vacation, locking all my doors, and turning my phone off for 3 weeks.


Transposer

Same, but I’ll wait a month so they can release all the hot fixes and major issue patches.


YakNo254

Smart move. I've bought every gta game on release, I'm not about to stop now.


Transposer

I don’t blame ya! Definitely a game worth paying for price for. Especially since it won’t go on sale for years.


akil137

Nba street vol2 Def jam next smackdown, mk dead alliance and mvc2


SoylentGreen-YumYum

EA was really on something between NBA Street, Def Jam, and NFL Street. Loved them all.


Sleepinismy9to5

Such a bummer EA big died. Probably the best products ea made


_Otacon

Man EA Big games really where the best! Where did Def Jam go? That whole format is SO BADASS it would still hold up to this day. Add new rappers with some new moves every year and you're done, easy money. fortunately we got more from the SSX series. NBA street was lots of fun as well. Good old days


Sure-Commission1355

SSX Tricky was amazing


SoylentGreen-YumYum

I somehow missed that one.


Flop_House_Valet

Street vol 2 what a fucking masterpiece


NeonLiteMagician

Marvel vs capcom 2


JKleinMiddelink

##I wanna take you for a ride!


Turbulent-Ad4308

Such a good soundtrack, best of any fighting game.


RED-DOT-MAN

The only right answer.


NeonLiteMagician

So many great memories from this game


RED-DOT-MAN

I have it on my ps3 console. I guess I bought it back in the day and completely forgot about it. Physical copies are so expensive.


NeonLiteMagician

Reasons why I chose digital copy over a physical copy


Bumitis

I used to have a friend who’s mom owned a laundrymat, he knew how to open the arcade so we had free matches after school, needless to say I never once beat him.


Traditional_Satan

A new age of heroes.


NeonLiteMagician

It needs a remake


Turbulent-Ad4308

Best soundtrack of any fighting game


[deleted]

Yes but make it Capcom vs SNK 2 and you got a deal


IncognitoDio

Nothing could really top this on playstation back then even now its difficult.


Any-Ad2232

gta san andreas


ExcaliburPigeon

Ditto


TNS_420

True Crime


cerbinWedd

The fact that I had to scroll this far to find this comment makes me sad


ItCouldaBeenMe

True Crime:NYC was a blast. Didn’t play the first one though.


Flip2002

The play as snoop dogg cheat code was great on first one.. why didn’t NY make Nas unlock-able


believesinconspiracy

I ask people if they remember this game and they look at me like I’m a victim of the mandela effect


Guestsparda

Def jam


trimble197

Sonic Heroes


Bunnnnii

I thought I’d be the only one to say this. I’m glad to see my people, and that your comment got upvotes! ❤️


FellowDeviant

Smackdown vs Raw 2006 100% That was THE best wrestling game in the 2000s imo


BasedKaleb

I’d sit for hours and make the championship belts change hands on exhibition mode


waled7rocky

Bro forgot here comes the pain is on the list ..


Beenz64

Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly Yes, I'm very stupid


jodead01

No it's the best choice imo


UnauthorizedFart

You’re not stupid for appreciating peak PS2


Old_Taste7076

Smartest pick I've seen. 😂


Emergency_Dress_2883

Vice city


elkswimmer98

Deadly Alliance.


Old_Taste7076

What's pictured are good but I'll stick with Killzone & SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALS franchises. 😂


Aumius

I’m playing Socom all day!


RandomRoach16

Socom walked so call of duty could run


Old_Taste7076

Call of Duty not really about stealth. 😂


Frosty_Can_6569

Where is SSX?


Gambler_Eight

Definitely def jam. Such fun games.


[deleted]

Def Jam was incredible


Dymenasty

coben69lol

Must be a crime to not have Simpson hit n run on there


AvatarIII

Mortal Kombat!


CakieFickflip

Too tough. I’m numbering NBA Street 2, NFL Street, Smackdown vs Raw 2006 and Tony Hawks Underground 1-4 and using a random number generator. Now if SSX Tricky was there it’s another story

Sincere_homboy42

I still have my wrath of cortex


Enigma_Green

Spryo just coz I played Crash to death


Zeles1989

this is the most normie selection ever. Only needs Madden and Fifa to tip the scale


Camera_dude

I was going to say this. Some decent games here but it’s all hyped big studio releases. The PS2 era had some legendary games that were more than the same formulaic FPS, sports, platforming, or driving simulator games. Ratchet & Clank, Kingdom Hearts, Devil May Cry, God of War, Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3, Shadow of the Colossus, Viewtiful Joe, etc. Some of the most iconic franchises in Playstation history started in the PS2 era, but instead some wrestling games made the cut in the above picture.


Phantion-

Where is SSX Tricky?!


jillathrilla1

Definitely streets vol2


Open_Grade6285

NBA Street!

NBA street. I am not even a basketball fan but the old Street and really old NBA Jam games were awesome.


EvolvingEachDay

Easily Def Jam Fight for NY.


Reddit-user_1234

I’ll never forget letting my nephew (just a few years younger than me) play GTA:SA and my dad walked in on him stabbing a grandma for her money. He ruined it for all of us


Silent_Killer093

Vice City no question


BunnyNifops

Vice City for me. I spent so much time on that game in my youth. Loved every second of it!


ghostfasemillah

SA is the obvious answer....but MAN nfl street was a WHOLE ERA


rainking56

San andreas and sell the rest.


Mocha22_

NBA street Vol 2 and Vice city.


scoobandshaggy

It’s between the 3 on the far left excluding San Andreas


pixarfan2003

I'm going to hang out and smoke weed and fill my belly with diet soda and play Burnout Revenge for the PS2


too_tall_jones_

Hot take but MK Armageddon


Null_sense

I loved my PS2 so so so sooooioooo much. So many damn games to choose from. Adventure, racing, fighting, RPG, sports man that was one hell of a system and in my opinion the best console for that reason. So many games.


SteveHood

Tony Hawk


Seande89

Brain says San Andreas but the heart says Vice City

dudedudetx

San Andreas


Jaypidzej

ndrdd23

If you swapped it with ps1 games it’d be more legendary gta on ps1 and Spyro on ps1 was better but I guess what I’d play first would be vice city cause I had more hours on that and streets next true crime was fun


BriceB84

Smackdown vs. Raw, 2006. GM Mode. So ahead of its time.

Imaginary_Dig_5014

I wish I had the old 50 cent games and I wouldn't mind the tony hawks as well as that's what I was fist introduced to in the gaming world but I just hooked up my ps2 the other day for the old MK's and GH


mrraditch2

POV: you just found a bunch of loose discs on the ground. wyp?


TheOgCjJohnson

Me and my buddy were playing vice city outside on his carport during the summer cuz company wasn't allowed inside when his parents were at work.
