At first the intro made me think the game was going to good, man was I wrong! I bought the Resident Evil 3 Game Pack so that's how I got it and the next 5 minutes I ended up trading the damn thing in.
I think the worse game I owned for PS2 was Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex. I remember playing the game for not one hour, and thinking, "I think I want to return this", and that was back when I was 10.
if you all look at the past of this series roots, you too would be disappointed ,
i mean 1 it doesnt even play like a racing game this series started as
and 2 , the graphics are horrid i wouldnt even consider it a n64 game lol-i mean that in a bad way
and 3 , this is what kills the series for me i never bought rpm tuning though i did buy one last ditch effort from kemco and that was top gear rally on the gba , , since then never bought a single game from them again
The worst I own is probably Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter. I read some user reviews calling it a better FPS than Halo, and while I'm not a huge Halo fan that gave me the impression it was a well made game. It's not, I haven't been able to find anything to like about it, the couple hours I've forced myself to play have been completely devoid of fun.
id have to say Supercar Street Challenge. It is the worst ps2 game that i've ever played. I'm sure there are worse games but I can spot those from a mile. If it has Barbie on the front, I know its crap. and if it costs $9.99 brand new then its probably crap.
I understand everyone has their own opinion, but not only has MGS2 been my favorite game of the series, but it is probably in my top 10 games of all time. :?

Metal Gear Solid 2...lol I loved it but it was messed up man lol
the worst game I owned for ps2? Final Fantasy X, bar none. There are SO many things I could point out... if I had the motivation and time for it, I feel I very well could write a full-on book about how bad it was, as not only an entry in a franchise that still gets so much love. Thankfully, Spoony is doing that in video form for me. :P

I hope you got your flame shield ready...for me personally X is one of the best games ever made of ALL time! but I won't rant on...i'm sure someone else would though so just be ready lawl.

Yeah, that game was horrid, and I had high expectations when I got it at 12 after loving Crash 2 and Warped. =/ I'd have to go with Shadow Of The Colossus though, honestly. Everyone loves it, but I don't see anything great about it bar the graphics, which I think were sort of to be expected considering the game was released this gen, not last.

Flame shield for what? the game sucked ass. The Sphere grid was convoluted and awful, and the game kept trying to make us identify with Tidus, who was about the single whiniest **** of a piece of tripe to even qualify as a lead character. My god, I could write a whole encyclopedia using this game as an example of how NOT to do characters or character development. Did you NOT watch any of the videos? Are you seriously trying to deny that Seymour was such a visibly obvious "bad guy" and that the characters that you play as aren't completely, utterly moronic for not having seen through his facade? The only redeeming character in the entire game was Auron, but even he couldn't save this pile. Square had gone from making fantastic RPG games to the kind of tripe that has you more on-rails than the original starfox and dares have its fanbase spend $60 on it. I don't have the time, patience or character text limits on this website to spell out all the **** ups that Final Fantasy X makes. And please don't get me started on X-2. At least that one can be summarized as "everything bad about FF X, with the golden girls", and would still require an explanation of what made X awful to even attempt to delve into X-2.

I loved Final Fantasy X and X-2. In the long run its subjective as I saw nothing wrong with either game and I enjoyed both of them immensely
If it helps at all in judging my view my favorite rpgs of all time are Chrono Trigger, Persona 4, and Shining Force

Get back to me when you play a real Final Fantasy. I suggest starting with 4 and working your way up to 7. FF 1 wasn't bad, either. But the absolute best of the franchise were 4~7. 8 was when it started to all go very wrong. About the only difference between what I'd say is wrong thus far, and what Spoony has said, is that he has a camera to record this stuff, and the technical chops to video capture and the like for it. I admittedly don't.

He didn't say he never played any other Final Fantasy's, just listed some favorites that weren't FF.
For the record, I enjoyed FFX as well. It wasn't perfect but I bet you the rest of them would have been the same had they the capabilities to make the graphics that way from the beginning. You can't tell me the characters in the older ones weren't effeminate purse-wearing confused teenage boys as well. They just weren't digitized as well. And for the record, I have played FF 4-8.
Although I will give you that game they played (can't recall the name of it) with the underwater sea-ball thing, was awful.

I have too...but the active time battle system sucked....well you know the rest.
The first 3 were masterpieces, but if you ever played FFX International edition then you get 100s of hours of gameplay...working your way to the penance battle.
Its the first all 3d final fantasy and the Conditional Battle system is better than the active time system. Not to say I don't like Final Fantasy 9 or 3/6 or Chrono Trigger (btw Chrono Trigger is one of the all time bests too)...The only "active time" battle system I liked really was FFXII's battle system.
but if you really want a Final Fantasy game that sucks then play XIII...

I have played many of the Final Fantasy games as I have been gaming since around 1989. /shrug Guess you just like sounding rude, I will leave you to it than :)

It is fact. FF X and on have been so unplayable and boring, with completely unlikeable characters and plots that Dr. Seuss could have probably **** out after a meal of all-you-can-eat burritos. X was about as on-rails of a Final Fantasy as it could get, practically forcing you along a path and making it damned hard (if not impossible) to actually go explore and find those various side quests that usually netted you a much richer experience. I regret purchasing it to this day, because I could have saved myself $30 at the time and just rented it with how quickly I managed to beat it. Since then, borrowing and playing through XII and viewing gameplay footage of 13 have shown me that they have got much, much worse. 4~7 were - save for graphics and audio capability from superior hardware - superior in every other way. The story, plot, character development and gameplay systems were much tighter put together. There was the ability to freeroam for the majority of the game, and there was incentive for you to do so. 4's strengths were in getting down many of the gameplay systems that would be copied on and aped on for years and years to come, while giving a strong, concise plot, telling you just enough so that a person of average intelligence could 'get' what was going on and what needed to be done. FF 5 I admit I didn't get at first... and while the jobs system did start in FF 3(NES), it was definitely perfected in 5. It also taught me a very valuable lesson about the importance and usefulness of enemy skills/Blue Magic. Looking back on it, it was also a nice middle finger gesture to all the hippies out there, given that [spoiler] the primary antagonist of the game is effectively a sentient tree [/spoiler] . Even 6 was also very impressive, despite the fact t hat it is one Final Fantasy that as much as I'd wanted to play, I never was able to finish. :( 7 in terms of gameplay was a goddamn masterpiece. Even though the materia system removed much of what made the characters unique in battle, it was brilliant in its simplicity, that with the right combinations, you could basically superpower your group well beyond their arbitrary levels, or effectively enable them to battle indefinitely, which would come as a huge help against the likes of the bonus WEAPON bosses that were added in for the US version of the game. Even with the setting and the bizarre turns the plot would take, it was easy to identify with the various characters. [spoiler] so much so that it was hard not to be at least somewhat upset when that bastard cockblocks you and kills aeris [/spoiler] At this point, the only head-scratcher for me was the ending cinematic for FF7... but it was such an amazing ride, and still a better ending than what you got in FF 8.
^^That doesn't change the fact that none of them are even arguably the worst games on the PS2. To even bring up a Final Fantasy or MGS game as the PS2's worst title is ridiculous.

Hmmm nothing you are saying sounds like facts though, seems more like an opinion :)
FF IX, X-2 and XII suck period. X was meh (Auron was awesome but thats about all that game has to offer me) and XIII I actually enjoyed for some reason.
You keep pretending your opinion is fact though if you must. I have no problem with you not liking the game. You are just in the minority

Your blind fanboyism is showing. Seriously, you don't think they get paid to rate these games higher than they deserve? Or take into account the 'fresh-game hype'? Just because a game rates highly, doesn't mean that it will stay that great over time... case in point, GTA 4. Sure that game was great when it came out.... but boy did it peter off after finishing your initial run. Yet Saint's Row 2 doesn't seem to have that problem. Further, did you even bother to actually play the older, better Final Fantasy games? Because I've yet to meet anyone that has and still thinks X was actually worth playing. If I have to spend more than five minutes guessing whether the main character is a guy or a girl, something is already very wrong here. Or did you even bother to actually watch Spoony's videos of Final Fantasy X thus far? Can you honestly tell me that you don't see a problem with a guy who - after being rescued on a ship by people who just saw their home and livelihoods blown to bits - then goes and says "boom! it's like pretty fireworks show, yea?" (Wakka) or a purported main character that insists how it's 'his story' and 'his adventure' (Tidus) when we basically have the stoner chick who'd been sheltered all her life having to now go on a pilgrimage and literally sacrifice herself for the good of the millions of lives on the planet? Or the moronic Al Bhed who then think they're doing the world a favor by kidnapping summoners before they can finish said pilgrimage while the big evil monster of the game is basically consuming entire continents of people, animals and things? Yea... sorry. You're not going to win this one.

You actually lost the debate when you started to take this whole thing seriously and trying to make it seem like you had to win. When you start to take forum chat that seriously that's kind of sad. Regardless your opinion does not equal fact for everyone. For you to try to think that your opinion outweighs others shows you are very egotistical. I think its funny that you write off every customer review as being paid off as well. O well your choice =)
Your opinion on a game is perfectly fine but when you try and pretend that it is a fact for everyone in the world is when your argument fell apart on you. Have a good one
