PlayStation 2 multiplayer games for this
list we’re looking at our favorite games
released for the PlayStation 2 which
incorporated a significant multiplayer
aspect any form of multiplayer is
welcome here

competitive as long as two or more
players we’re able to take part at once
the game will be considered the titles
in question also don’t need to be a
PlayStation exclusive so multi-platform
games will also be considered
number 10 Guitar Hero three legends of
Rock
at a time when the seventh generation of
consoles was already well underway this
game proved that the PlayStation 2 still
had some fumes left in the old tank
complete with fancy new Les Paul guitars
the game gave players the best of both
worlds
as it retained the magic of the previous
Guitar Hero iterations while adding
enjoyable game modes
[Music]
go up is always a blast as one player
takes the guitar and the other the bass
Wow
battle mode was a great new addition
that provided hours of extra content and
a more competitive edge to the game
whether you’re rockin out together or
breaking each other strings legends of
Rock was aloud entertaining rough
[Music]
number nine Baldur’s Gate Dark Alliance
you are weary from your travels
but mesmerised at the site of baldur’s
gate while admittedly kind of short for
an RPG this game was nevertheless a
memorable and insanely fun time
especially when you had a buddy to help
you hack and slash your way through
enemies two players were able to trek
cooperatively through this gorgeous and
intricately detailed world and because
each character had different skills the
gameplay options were buried encouraging
experimentation and teamwork what’s this
you’ve caught a sewer rat every
playstyle and personality was present
including the magic geek the guy who
would rather hang back with a bow and
the guy who only wants to kill things
with bloody knuckles if you wanted a
diablo style game on your ps2 this was
basically it luck be with you and watch
those rats some of them can be vicious
when backed in a corner number 8 Tekken
Tag Tournament
[Music]
continuing the fantastic Tekken series
this fourth main entry proof that the
quality of the games would not be lost
in the sixth generation the console
version ran on updated hardware meaning
that the graphics and animation were
much more detailed than the arcade
version allowing for a more pleasant
viewing experience up to four people can
play together using the tag function
giving this entry an upgrade to the
gameplay dynamics while still retaining
the sense of fun unique to the Tekken
series providing a plethora of
characters to choose from this game
proved fit Tekken was only getting
better and better
number seven timesplitters future
perfect look sharp Marines and coming a
true jack-of-all-trades this third
installment of the time splitter series
had it all including a stellar campaign
fantastic co-op gameplay a fun online
mode and deep reservoir of unlockable
and bonus content
the games cooperative campaign was
easily one of the best on the ps2 as it
took two players two different time
periods and locales while providing them
with cartoonish fun and agreeable humor
the competitive deathmatch style of
gameplay also proved to be a blast as
the Buried weapons and locations kept
things fresh while sales weren’t great
the quality is still outstanding and
really that’s what mattered wow you took
care of that tank all by yourself number
six
Soul Calibur two improving on an already
successful formula Soul Calibur two
upgraded the series and gave ps2 owners
one of the best and most unique fighters
available this game continues the
traditional weapons faced combat of the
series while integrating new and
improved additions such as the ability
to step and avoid arena wall specific
moves and guard break attacks the
graphics were absolutely jaw-dropping
for the era and the production quality
was second to none making this one of
the most polished and refined games of
the six generation of consoles a ps2
collection is not complete without it
[Music]
number five
SOCOM to
a realistic military shooter with a
terrific sense of chaotic fun so come to
provided PlayStation owners with a great
time and one of the most fully realized
and adopted online multiplayer suites
for the ps2 by using a broadband
connection gamers were able to play
online in classic deathmatch and other
tactical based modes with up to seven
other players what resulted was
strategic and intelligent gameplay and
the game proved that the PlayStation 2
could provide a multiplayer experience
rivaling anything on the Xbox from the
exotic locales to the team-based
gameplay and friendly chat support SOCOM
to was an unforgettable experience
number 4 Marvel vs. Capcom 2 New Age of
Heroes
Marvel Capcom those two words alone are
enough to make any gamer excessively
excited in this fighting game players
choose up to three characters from the
Marvel and Capcom universes and proceed
to duke it out between the 3 chosen
fighters through a unique tag-team
system what results is incredibly varied
gameplay as the characters all have
unique attributes and abilities while
the game was 2 years old by the time the
PlayStation port arrived it was still a
blast despite some dated animations
between the 50-plus playable characters
and the insane amount to combo moves
this game could stand with the best of
what the PlayStation had to offer in
terms of fighting games number 3 Star
Wars Battlefront 2 yes back in the good
old days when a game actually shipped
with the full amount of intended Garant
and the battlefront games have always
been known for their stellar multiplayer
and this game was definitely no
exception
featuring up to 24 players online the
chaotic game modes include conquest hero
assault and space assault in which
players control star fighters for the
first time in the series effectively
rounding out the immersive Star Wars
experience it was bigger and better than
the original in every conceivable way
giving gamers the definitive Star Wars
battle experience for years to come
number 2 twisted metal black with a
cover that basically terrified everyone
twisted metal black was the fifth game
in the series and easily one of the best
serving as a nice return to form after
the disappointing third and fourth
entries with a diverse cast of new and
returning characters and an array of
terrifying vehicles here players fight
in a demolition derby with ballistic
missiles in an enclosed arena
if that sounds like a loud and chaotic
time that’s because it is complete with
stellar graphics the carnage was always
enjoyable to witness and to take part in
while it wasn’t exactly fun for the
whole family
it was a must-own for adult ps2 gamers
before we get to our favorite ps2
multiplayer experience here a few
honorable mentions
[Music]
it did not go down like that
[Applause]
first gratitude as far as I’m concerned
so Johnny Morgan coming away number 1
burnout 3 takedown
who would have thought that you could
build such a great game at a breaking so
much stuff here the gameplay is littered
with intense moments like racing through
oncoming traffic and intentionally
crashing into your opponent’s resulting
in some of the most spectacular crash
physics in a game up to that point
it was so much fun that the game even
included a mode meant exclusively for
crashing into other cars to cause as
much damage as possible while there are
countless racing games on the market
burnout 3 was unlike any other and is
fondly remembered today as a masterpiece
of the genre
