The more I read these lists on Gamedaily.com, the more inaccurate the lists become. Let's start with the basics, shall we? #1: Guitar Hero 1 can curbstomp Guitar Hero 2 to a greasy yellow pulp with its soundtrack (Iron Man), nice cartoony graphics, and soundtrack (Smoke on the Water) but it's not on this list. #2: Kingdom Hearts 2 was the best Square Enix game ever (Besides Final Fantasy, but since they appear in this game, i guess this could be considered Final FAntasy) but it's not on the list. #3: Kingdom Hearts, see Comment #2. #4: Grand Turismo 3 was, is, and will be the best looking racing game on the PS2, but this game is more than just eye candy. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of individual cars, a lincense mode, plus, it has less crap-jazz than Grand Turismo 4. Finally, the big finale: The loss of SSX3 on this lists hurts me deep. An open world, graphics that make some games of today cower in fear, a soundtrack that make some games of today cower in fear, simply put, THE BEST SNOWBOARDING VIDEO GAME IN THE HISTORY OF VIDEO GAMES! So Let's review: Guitar Hero, Kingdom Hearts I and II, Grand Turismo 3, SSX3, you might as well put Shadow the Hedgehog, Cartoon Network Racing, and Sonic Riders on the list, just to make the pain worse. Where are all the GOOD PS2 games? Obviously hiding from this website. Can I get a what?

No Jak and Daxter 1, 2, or 3. Part 1 was the seller of the ps2 and 2 was the best game out of the trilogy. Kingdom Hearts, SOCOM, MGS2, Soul Calibur 2, Soul Reaver, Dragon Quest VIII, and Dark Cloud 1 or 2, Megaten Games and Suikoden should have made this list easily. This list looks just like a mainstream list of most of the popular titles for the ps2 with a few exceptions.
No Persona 3? Bull****! I'm glad Odin Sphere and Shadow Of The Colossus made the list though.
I agree with CaterFree10. Kingdom Hearts is a great series, and the games are all pretty good. But just about any FF game (except 8, I hated that one >.< and maybe 10) could pwn a KH game.
GTA Vice city miles ahead of GTA:SA, whats up with that? They are more or less the same game only GTA:SA has LOADS more content. The best of which is all the aircraft and parachuting not to mention the sheer scale of area.
To the Kingdom Hearts fanboys and girls: I'm a fangirl of Kingdom Hearts, too! But for the love of God, FF12 pwnd the crap out of all three games put together (4 if you count the remake of CoM). I would have to say that this list is fairly accurate (at least in comparison to other lists, but still very good).
Anyone else notice the severe lack of a Megaten RPG? Honestly, Shin Megami Tensei III and Persona 4 > Final Fantasy XII. And could there possibly be a time where FFVII isn't mentioned when talking about another FF game? I'd really appreciate that. Also, for the ones baawing about KH not being on there: It's pretty mediocre for action-gameplay, especially in the second (mash the triangle button guys) and the storyline isn't anything special either. The main characters are just typical J-RPG schlock, and the villains (mainly Organization XIII I'm talking about here) truly do suck. Going through the different Disney worlds and having FF characters was a cool concept, but that can't save the fact that everything else coming from the games was sub-par. There are many other RPG's that deserved to be on this list more than any KH game.
GOD OF War 2 should have been # but i agree with everything really good list here
