I actually liked the racing game need for speed carbon It was actually a pretty good racing game to play and another open world racing game that I liked was a game called LA rush just look it up because I'm pretty sure some people don't know what it is

[@zaymac117]

Bully, GTA San Andreas, GTA vice city, Spiderman 2, and MK deception.

[@erzaender]

[@mrinvincible6849]

Bully was way ahead of its time. What a masterpiece!

Hulk - ultimate destruction. Was the best. Definitely needs a remake.

It got one, when they made Prototype

[@isaaciktaile1118]

[@Raoul215]

It was so repetitive..the one that came out previously was the best.. especially because you could change from banner to hulk..ultimate destruction was boring..no real story..no cool boss fights..

[@Mundane05]

I liked True Crime: NYC's world. You had a plethora of guns and cars to own and mod, the police roleplay was varied enough, lots of enterable buildings and whatnot. Neat game.

[@Theonetruewonderfly]

"Open World" was different back then. I consider the "modern" Open World games to start around 2008/2009 (around the time of Grand Theft Auto IV and Assassin's Creed II). The PS3/Xbox 360 generation. "Open World" on the PS2 and original Xbox was different - not overly complex but still fun to just run around in.

[@fawkkyutuu8851]

Oldschool open world was much better on average imo , I appreciated the rawness of the landscape , things felt more organically atmospheric and mysterious , even Isolated nearly barren areas still somehow felt like they potentially held more meaning than they did , hardware limitations showing through unstable mapping and textures that would shimmer and move on PS1/PS2 gave those games life and made what was mostly filler feel like secrets were held everywhere and gave a greater sense of depth and character. 6th and 5th gen design just felt more unorthodox and organic Instead of streamlined and formulaic to me , the pacing and traversal generally felt slower and clunkier which made progress more satisfyingly earned and gave more of a sense of distance and adventure despite being smaller game worlds. It's the little subtleties that made oldschool open world special , and honestly I'd take that anyday over the perks and features provided by modern open worlds. 9th gen has made me feel burnt out on modern gaming more than ever (outside of rare greatness like Elden Ring) most games today are just too corporate , casualized , and samey for me , and real-life acting/sounding realism does not equal more Immersive , nor does ultra cheap throwback Indies redoing what's already been done better , or the overly cartoony casualized stuff devoid of challenge and depth. That's the beauty of the early 3D 6th and 5th gen era , It captured the perfect uncanny-valley of game design experimentalism and ambition.

[@isaaciktaile1118]

@@fawkkyutuu8851 You literally discovered pretty much everyone's memories with San Andreas. And what it felt like when compared to 5.

[@patrick22014]

@@fawkkyutuu8851 That describes perfectly how Shadow of the Colossus felt back then. The whole map felt mysterious (more than it ws intended to be). I remember people spent so much time looking for the 17th colossus and in the process a lot of secrets were found such as the unused colossi, its arenas that were hidden under the final map, the original location of the colossus and much more. Whenever I played SotC back then I felt that something was haunting me or I was about to discover something new even though it was already comfirmed that no 17th colossus existed and there was nothing else hidden in the game. The only game that has ever felt close to that experience was Bloodborne and it´s thanks to it´s darkness "ugly graphics" and overall clunky feeling.

[@trippyboi91]

I MISS SSX 3. I lost HOURS of my summer in 2004 playing that fricken gem.

[@Ronburgundy54]

It’s amazing now this 2004 Spider-Man game was the best game of its kind till the 2018 game came out. Great game, even better for its time

[@CashCounter030]

I think that Gun deserves to be on this list. Such an amazing and yet very underated game.

[@sluttyboy69]

Yeah it was better then red dead revolver.

[@royalrod_]

The Warriors is the TRUE hidden gem. Nothing comes close.

Not really open world either

[@Historicutuber]

I had Bully and Spider-Man 2. Such great games

[@sugreev2001]

Bully is my favorite PS2 open world game, closely followed by San Andreas and Vice City. My number one wish, as far as video games go, is for Rockstar to make Bully 2. Of course it’s nothing more than a pipe dream at this point.

[@justinlongg]

Bully is my favorite PS2 game. in general. i havent played alot of PS2 games but i dont think anything is gonna top Bully. I've played scholarship edition on PC and i thought it was pretty good but it had a few things i didnt like. then i tried the PS2 version and everything i didnt like wasnt there. almost all of the bad, broken and useless content was added on Scholarship edition. the difference between PS2 and scholarship is actually ginormous.
