20 PS2 Games That Prove It's The Best Console Ever

Regarded as an industry sweetheart and revered as a forgotten gem of the console, Beyond Good and Evil was released at a time when everyone seemed to be preoccupied with something else entirely - as plenty missed out on its quirky gameplay and charming visuals the first time around. Now available in remastered form, there’s no excuse to not jump in and uncover a big old conspiracy, complete with a giant talking ‘Uncle’ pig and a world of bizarre aliens.

Players control Jade, a photojournalist who’s out to get to the bottom of alien invasions and consequent abductions, allowing you to take photos, partake in races, complete stealth missions, and explore the environment as you see fit to progress her storyline.

Beyond Good and Evil is both a beautiful game to look at and has a genuinely intriguing narrative pushing it forwards - and its recent continuation into a sequel proves just how beloved the original has been since release 15 years ago. Original, entertaining, and thoroughly lovely to wander around in, replaying on the recent remaster is enough to bring back all those warm and fuzzy feelings of a first playthrough come flooding back - but nothing beats sticking the original disk into a PS2.
