Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes for the PlayStation 2 should have gotten a mention. It's a really awesome 3 on 3 fighting game. It is a good thing that this game, including the original and other Marvel fighting games (as well as the classic arcade beat 'em up The Punisher) will be part of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics coming out for PlayStation 4, Steam (PC), and Nintendo Switch later this year.

[@lchambers56]

I'll die on the hill that the Ps2 is the greatest console of all time. The fact that now the games can be played on the go means that technology is at it's peak. Everything else is gravy. While this list was a decent one, a few things. First, that Burnout 3 footage was atrocious. Second, I would argue that that Silent Hill 2 is a far better game than RE4 ever will be. The story is incredible and it's a much more approachable game in terms of difficulty. SH2's legacy is still felt, even today and that's why the remake is such a tremendous deal.

[@Makman1994]

I tried to get into the Medal of Honor series including Frontline long after its time but struggled to get into it. I can still go back and play retro FPSs like GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, TimeSplitters 2 and Future Perfect, and IIRC Red Faction 1 and 2, but MoH games felt pretty sluggish by comparison.

To answer the question about destructible environments in the modern day --- it's WAYYYYYY too resource intensive to do that with how many more polygons games have these days. Red Faction on the PS2 was just the perfect blend of just enough power and not enough graphical over-complication for it to work.

[@Lxca-fi4np]

I hate how people drool over ssx tricky in these lists. Ssx 3 is superior in every way to tricky. Sudo open world, WAY better more fluid handling/controls, better aesthetic, more characters, more content in general with the inclusion of big challenge mode, better tracks, better music, better interface. Going back to tricky after playing 3 feels so sluggish and dull in comparison. They claimed tricky was definitive when 3 exist which makes me think they never played it.
