Playing through a videogame is about precisely that: the experience of having fun in front of your TV. And while it's vital that a game have fluid and entertaining gameplay, it can't be denied that the way it looks on the screen is just as important (if not more so in some people's eyes). But as we've seen these past several years, only a few set the high watermark by which all others are ultimately judged. To honor those games that have accomplished such a feat, we have compiled a list of PS2-exclusive games that can easily be awarded the distinction of having the best graphics in their field.


At first we considered separating our catalog into two separate categories: technical skill and artistic style. But in the end we decided that it would be better to compile a single list of titles that had the best graphical impact overall. These are the games that, for one reason or another, still creep into our heads when we play something else -- reminding us of the true potential of the PS2. These are the games that continue to be referenced despite having been released a few years back, and despite the fact that there will be many more.

The other qualification is that the games need to have been developed for the PS2 specifically. So if a title was originally developed for the PS2 but later moved on to another system, that's okay -- as long as the qualifiers were originally created with the PS2 in mind, it's all that matters. This also means that games that were simultaneously developed from a single base code for other platforms doesn't count, so don't freak out when you realize that Burnout 3 isn't on the list.

Anyhow, it's now time to award the developers that have learned to squeeze out the absolute best graphical performances from their products. To find out what made the cut and what are the most graphically amazing and influential titles, read on for The Top 10 Best Looking PS2 Games of all time!

RANK #10 ICO
http://ps2media.ign.com/ps2/image/ar...0063750937.jpg
Why We Picked It:
ICO is a deceptively simple-looking game until you get inside of it and realize how hauntingly beautiful and awe-inspiring it truly is. This is one game that shows that piling on tons of graphics into a game is not always necessary and that by carefully choosing what goes in the developers can have close control over the result. In this case that has led to the creation of an immense castle with several puzzles where it's crucial to pay attention and look around and discover where the answers lie.
The environments are always big enough to let players feel like they can explore as much as they want and there are always glimpses of further places in the distance to let people know that there is much more that will be found in the future. So while the game has gotten older, the feeling of going through it is still fresh and original.

RANK #9 METAL GEAR SOLID 2: SONS OF LIBERTY
http://ps2media.ign.com/ps2/image/ar...0061502554.jpg
Why We Picked It:
Over three years old and Snake's first PS2 adventure still looks amazing. Forget the Raiden character and the post-modern storyline (no, really) and there's still a beautiful game to check out with loads of extra details to dig into. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater may blow this out of the water, but it's still no slouch. Those who want some of the finest action in a well thought-out environment owe it to themselves to see it on the unlikely chance that they haven't already.
Like the other games in the series, MGS2 delivers a world where there are many different ways about going through the same problems. Different tasks can be done in unique ways, but there are the little touches that make it even better. Why just run through the bar when you can shoot the bottles out from behind or take a peek behind? Just don't forget to go after the bad guys.

RANK #8 ONIMUSHA 3: DEMON SIEGE
http://ps2media.ign.com/ps2/image/ar...0053542690.jpg
Why We Picked It:
Capcom's breathtaking Onimusha 3 made our list almost because of the high-end quality of its CG sequences alone. But even if you were to disregard those terrific Robot-directed mini-movies, Demon Siege is without a doubt, one of the prettiest action games around.
Every last detail, from the animations of Jacques and Samanosuke's face to the elaborate stage designs, scream of Hollywood-level production value. The animations and special effects are just as striking, and the textures are some of the best that the PlayStation 2 has to offer. It's hard to imagine the upcoming Onimusha 4 looking any better.


RANK #7 RATCHET AND CLANK: UP YOUR ARSENAL
http://ps2media.ign.com/ps2/image/ar...0055702453.jpg
Why We Picked It:
Developer Insomniac Games managed to crank out Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal just a year, but since they've been refining their graphics engine constantly it is still an amazing game to behold. Running smoothly in progressive scan, UYA is dazzling in its ability to provide some platforming and shooting action with tons of visual effects that don't get old through the entire game. It's a hyperactive Saturday morning cartoon come to life and it's easy to get sucked right in.

The unsaid motto behind UYA is that nothing should get in the way of the fun and so the developers have thrown players into a world with dozens and dozens of different weapons and versions of weapons to shoot their way through intricately designed worlds. Everything works together to make a game so fun and so good-looking that it's a shame it ever comes to an end.

RANK #6 FINAL FANTASY X
http://ps2media.ign.com/ps2/image/ar...0063145190.jpg
Why We Picked It:
When it was first released in 2001 no other RPG in the world looked as good as Final Fantasy X, and it's hard to pick another one that looks as good since. To this day, the adventures of Tidus, Yuna, and Lulu are still an incredible technical achievement -- with some of the most expressive facial and body animations that we've ever seen. But the emotion of the characters only scratch the surface of what FFX really has to offer: as it also boasts a fantastic array of special effects, excellent modeling, and plenty of interesting environments.
But what really pushes Final Fantasy X over the top is its superb use of style in conjunction with an already-impressive technical brilliance. These are easily some of the best character designs available for the PlayStation 2 and the sheer amount of personality that comes across in every scene is as badass as it is moving.

RANK #5 GRAN TURISMO 4
http://ps2media.ign.com/ps2/image/ar...0062251655.jpg
Why We Picked It:
Hundreds of detailed cars and dozens of courses all done with a solid framerate and with support of both 480p and 1080i. Sure, there's still plenty of aliasing going on here, but the feeling of racing a perfect line at Nurburgring with five other cars is pretty amazing. With so much care into making this by far the best-looking racing game on the PS2 it's almost enough to completely cover-up the fact that the AI still needs work.
But whether the race is along a dusty cliff, through the streets of a Mediterranean town, or through some snowy peaks, GT4 packs in plenty of visuals to gaze at besides the road that really should be the main focus. Thankfully, there's a sweet replay mode that shows off the graphics to its fullest effect as well as a photo mode for exporting a high-res image to print or use as a wallpaper to remember the good times.

RANK #4 ZONE OF THE ENDERS: THE 2ND RUNNER
http://ps2media.ign.com/ps2/image/ar...0060753295.jpg
Why We Picked It:
There probably isn't another PS2 game this generation that offers as much onscreen action and special effects as Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner. Easily one of the most beautiful games available for any system over the last couple of years, this sci-fi epic takes a super-sized dose of remarkable robot design and smashes it directly into more programming wizardry than we ever thought possible.
Even when matched up against its high-powered Xbox competition, The 2nd Runner more than holds its own -- with enough environmental effects, lasers, explosions, and other such activity to turn even the most tolerant of watchers into a full-blown epileptic... but in a good way. It's simply awesome.

RANK #3 JAK 3
http://ps2media.ign.com/ps2/image/ar...0064856200.jpg
Why We Picked It:
The world of Jak 3 may be cartoonish and populated with characters with the longest ears ever seen, but that doesn't mean that the style is amateurish. Far from it. With lushly designed characters and some beautiful environments, Jak 3 provides one colorful and stunning adventure. It's easy to ignore the next goal and just go off and explore.
But beyond the visual look of the game, it's also the animation that makes Jak 3 almost as much fun to just watch as it is to play. The cutscenes are done with the in-game engine and it wouldn't be a surprise if the animation team decided to screw the gaming business and just make some movies. The good news is that they're staying right here and continuing to make more games for us to gawk at.

RANK #2 METAL GEAR SOLID 3: SNAKE EATER
http://ps2media.ign.com/ps2/image/ar...0054308714.jpg
Why We Picked It:
The world of Snake Eater is one where it's easy to get lost in all of the details. Instead of a jungle with some trees and a chunks of grass that are all grouped together into one polygon, this steamy environment feels so much more real. The blades of grass are rendered individually and the same attention is put into everything else that Naked Snake encounters here.
But a world with no characters is nothing at all and the people here have been given unique looks and personalities. So much so that when the game comes to its climactic ending it's hard not to feel some emotion for those that didn't make it. Going beyond just making a game, the developers created an experience that lingers long after the game has gone through its credits.

RANK #1 GOD OF WAR
http://ps2media.ign.com/ps2/image/ar...0045804712.jpg
Why We Picked It:
If any game could have the claim of looking and feeling epic, it's the incredible God of War. From the fight at sea in the beginning to the battle of the gods at the end the game simply never lets up with its visceral impact. The detail is apparent in all of the characters in the game as well as the lavish backgrounds. As Kratos goes about his various tasks, God of War manages to give the feeling that so much more is going in in the rest of the world, like the burning city of Athens or the Titan that carries the temple.
The experience is also incredibly fluid with smooth graphics and animations as well as the overall design of the game. There are no load times, no chapter breaks, and nothing to break you away from wanting to keep playing, non-stop, until the very last movie plays and you can finally get some rest.

.

Did your favorite game make the cut or rank around where you thought it would? If not, then don't worry -- there are plenty of other fabulous-looking PS2 games out there that we didn't forget. Devil May Cry 3, Tekken 5, Jak II, Transformers, Ace Combat 5, Final Fantasy X-2, and Dark Cloud 2 are just a few of the PS2-exclusive games that almost made the list. While disqualified cross-platform games deserve a mention too, with titles like Rez, Burnout 3, Prince of Persia, Chaos Theory, Silent Hill 3, and Fight Night Round 2 looking good no matter what system they go to. No matter what the criteria, though, the PlayStation 2 definitely has its share of beautiful games, and whether you're an Xbox or Cube loyal or not, it's hard to deny their magnificence.
