Here's my list of the best games and accessories for the Playstation 2 that were released in 2002.  There's enough here to keep you busy until 2004!

All Ages/Kids (6 years and up)

    Kingdom Hearts: This is an RPG (Role Playing Game) suitable for the whole family! It features Disney characters and is a lot of fun. Finally a game that you can play with your kids that won't corrupt them (unless you feel corporate commercialism is bad).

 

Action/RPG (Adults 17 and up)

    Grand Theft Auto - Vice City: Let's make this crystal clear. This game is for adults. Don't get this for your young child or grandchild. Do your research!  This is a very adult game with adult topics with plenty of violence and sex.  With that said, it's also the most creative PS2 game ever! Improving on GTAIII, this one is so open ended that you can feel free to walk, run, ride, drive or fly all over the map.  It's pretty incredible everything you can do. While mostly an RPG, this is also a racing game, a flying game, a shooter, an action game and much more. You're not going to beat this game in one day, one week or even a month.  I'm currently at 58% completion and I've already won the main storyline.  I highly recommend this game for all you adults out there!

 

Wrestling

    WWE Smackdown - Shut Your Mouth!:  Well, honestly, this is the only real wrestling game out now. It's better than the previous Smackdown and it's the only game where you can play your favorite WWE superstars.

 

Sports

    Madden 2003: Madden is the only football game worth mentioning. It's the only one worth getting good at because you'll find plenty of football fans to battle! You can also play others around the world with the Network Adapter!

 

    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4: I don't even like to ride a skateboard but I love playing Tony Hawk 4!  That's amazing that I enjoy playing the game but can't even ride over a curb.  You'll love it too!

 

War Simulation

    Medal Of Honor - Frontline: Wow, the opening part alone is worth the price of the game!  This is like being in a movie, the game drops you right into the action.  Anyone who liked movies like Saving Private Ryan will automatically like this game.

 

Hardware

    PS2 Network Adapter: Many PS2 games are coming out with the ability to use the Network Adapter.  What is it? It allows you to play with people around the world if you have a phone line (and ISP) or DSL (or other broadband service).  I don't recommend this for phone line use only, the best results come with DSL connections.  Just imagine, Madden 2003 with guys on the other side of the country, SOCOM against people in France (insert joke here). Right now (12/10/02), the following games can be played with the Network Adapter:

    • ATV Offroad Fury® 2
    • Madden NFL™ 2003
    • My Street™
    • NFL GameDay™ 2003
    • SOCOM: US Navy SEALs
    • Tony Hawk Pro Skater™ 4
    • Tribes™ Aerial Assault
    • Twisted Metal:Black® ONLINE
