Rebooted It’s story and immersive world full of deep, interesting stories and characters expanding on the already huge Star Wars universe made it memorable for me, not to mention the soundtrack! I agree with gameplay wasn’t brilliant, but everything else was pretty spot on. 🙂
Rebooted nah, once you understand it, the combat is super engaging. Also the dialogues and exploration are sublime, and I played this game over a year ago, so no nostalgia goggles here.
2003 is my favorite year of gaming. So many classics that left their mark. Devs spending their heart and soul in their craft when they can do whatever they want without much publisher meddling.
@@constipatedwonka8061 not really out of the way there are loads of websites that pirate games also games are pirated right after they are released sooo sad
Best game ever, i still remember one mission that myself never get past. you must go to high post and suddenly helicopters just machinegun you at the top.
And the list goes ============================ 10. The Simpsons : hit and run 9. Call of Duty 1 8. Midnight Club 2 7. Freedom Fighters 6. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time 5. Beyond Good & Evil 4. Need for Speed Underground 3. Jak 2 2. Legend of zelda wind waker 1. Star Wars: Knights of the old republic
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne Lord of the Rings: Return of the King War of the Monsters Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Soul Calibur II Jak II: Renegade Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb Spawn: Armageddon
Need for Speed Underground was the first racing game I've ever played! 4 years old and whenever I lost I just threw the ps2 controller to my dad and said "Tune it better" Learning to not realize my own mistakes since -03
true for her year she have good graphics and she was my first game on my first pc dude it was super amazing game and for that she still is have so good things in her and her graphics will make you think like she is one of the games today but no she is not from today she is from 2003 year what a thing for that yep she ws amazing gmae nfs and she have good soundtracks just was super cool time if you play her in 2003 year you was the best human on the world it ws super cool game for that time you are like god i have big fun when i use nos or when first time i see and jump on bridge it was super amazing game
@@recoilzriot6211 Could be but the thing is I played the trilogy 10-12 yrs ago but the game which I remember most of is WW and it's story, even more than TT or SOT so yeah it was the best for me... Like I sadi IMO
They got it digital buddle for PS4 and my bro finished the series (except the car one) in about 2 months which considering he works 40-50 hrs a week, has 2 kids, and a wife says a lot about how much he loves the series.
Bro... Even when I didnt have a player2 I would just send waves of dudes at a bunker I took over just to see what defensive setup beat what. And when there was a P2... It was on!!!
Freedom Fighters was amazing & I have fond memories of playing it. I wish they’d do a new one... also speaking of Freedom, make a new Freedom Force! Also... they missed Freelancer which was 2003. I would’ve placed it in the number three spot (with WW & KOTOR staying where they are) because Freelancer was _incredible_ & seemingly underrated.
I definitely have nostalgic feelings for some of these games but I'm sure lots of them still hold up. At the time these games introduced lots of new ideas. Jak 2 was one of the first dark narrative driven games for me. But it also bridged the gap between kids games more adult themes. There are plenty of adult games since the dawn of time but not that many franchises grow with there audience.
We have high expectations for games that try to immerse you like racing/fps/open-world BUT in the case of platformers i can't help but feel it is different. Its more down to the creativity of the devs and the theme but i don't think im explaining it well. Basically if the old platform formula from circa 2003 was revived i would buy into it all day long. In contrast if they produced a new gta with the same possibilities as 3 or a new COD as basic as COD1 then no i wouldn't.
This was definitely one of the earliest massively open world game that I played with all the traversing the seas. It blew me away during the first playthrough. I was a bit bitter with the art style at first but still gave the game a chance. The style quickly grew on me during my first playthrough. lol
@@anassyria5176 Mafia The City of Lost Heaven, released only a while after GTA 3 seems like a much greater revolution to me. The level of detail in the world, the perfect story, far beyond GTA 3.
Oh man, The first to midnight club racing games were so fantastic. I remember I saved up my money and bought the first one within the first couple days of it coming out and was blown away. The second one was just as good.
Wow, both Beyond Good & Evil and SW: KotOR are among my all time favourite games. 2003 was an awesome year and thanks for the video which reminded me that.
I didn't realise it at the time, but I played like half of those games growing up and damn, I had some kickass experiences doing it. Wish more games could do what these did now.
Def Jam Vendetta was the game that made 2003 for me. I remember my friends parents went away on holiday for 3 weeks leaving him home alone so all of us boys literally lived there for the 3 weeks smoking hash and playing def jam every day , life was much simpler back then it was great.
So glad Jak finally got what he was due, hate that for the most part he's been forgotten even though he was the Mascot of Naughty Dog's first story driven game
not that it'll ever happen at this point but I've always hoped that one day they'll finally make a jak and daxter game, there's deffinatly more story to be told.
@@soulreapermagnum hell yes. I mean there was a "jak 4" but it wasnt made by naughty dog and I dont accept it as cannon. If we start from 3 hell yeah theres anything they could touch on. The lore of those games was so big and the different factions all that stuff. I'd fucking love if they remade all the old ones and then started from there and do another trilogy
@@kaelanburke2097 Jake and dexter are in this big time loop and we only see a portion of it. For the longest time I thought Jak WAS Mar. But I did the research and hes just a descendant of him. I always thought that would have been cooler because we could have more games where jack goes back in time to building Haven city. Maybe he could alter the time line and stop the city from being a shit hole.
I remember picking Freedom Fighters without knowing the review score and playing it fresh. It was mind blowing great and I really wish for a solid sequel
Jak 2 also had a huge difficulty spike from the first, I remember getting stuck in some areas and just giving up for the day. Its the game that introduced me to rage quitting lol
Same, I remember playing that game on the hard mode where you had to do that rail sequence in a cannon. You had to defeat about 70 enemies without dying and you couldn't restore your health either. I completely hit a wall on that part.
Wow I totally agree on Freelancer! What a marvelous game! I never was huge fan of simulation or flying games - but Freelancer was something totally different and enjoyable! I really wish they do reboot on Freelancer!
Wow, 2003, I was in highschool. I miss playing games, had a lot of great times taking turns with friends playing Jak II, and oddly, my dad bought me Max Payne 2--weird considering he disliked video games.
RATCHET AND CLANK 2?! The ps2 R&C games were the best, but many regard R&C2 as the best of the best. Improved on nearly every aspect of the classic first game, making it a near perfect sequel.
And pertaining to thIs video I'd say it's certainly better than Jak 2. I think Jak 2 won the popularity award here, as R&C 2 aka Going Commando's gameplay is a step up imo
undead fodder UYA was great no doubt, but it was a little rushed and wasn't as good in some aspects as the first 2 games. Tbh I love all the first 3 games equally, but objectively I think GC is the better sequel.
Wind Waker, NFS Underground, and Simpsons Hit and Run hold such a HUGE spot in my childhood I absolutely adore all three of those so much. I’ve never got to play KOTOR but I absolutely love Star Wars. It is worth going back for bc I’ve been thinking about it for a while
If you like star wars lore you should play Kotor. It might look and play dated but I would say the story is more memorable then any other star wars game including fallen order. That one might be fun to play because of next gen graphics but nobody talks about the story to others because it's just like another average story.
It makes me really happy when people remember jak and daxter it’s my favorite ps2 game and it’s sad to see its being forgotten. NEEDS A REMAKE and not just hd collections
Max payne 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. I played it since I was 5 years old and I managed to finish it more than 20 times. The gameplay was so amazing. The graphics look good for something that came from 2003. The characters were very good. The story was so amazing and also the reason why I like this game is because of the ragdoll physics. Just amazing.
Mee too.. i especially loved the part when we arrive at a seashore and we were given 3 bullets without any gun and one guy just keeps on shooting ...nonstop...
I was obsessed with Rifle only multiplayer servers lol. Just something about those single shot bolt action rifles was so much fun lol. Now I'm really fuckin tempted to play again!
Man now I want Kotor 3! 😭 Nice list mate! I remember back when Kotor 1 was released I was in highschool, playing it, choosing action so I don't go too deep to dark side, discovering the story! That story twist, watching cinematic - it's still one of my top 10 start wars moments in life! Even today I have a few walls rotating on my cell - Bastila is on one of them! 😀
@@OtakuKing28 it would be terrible if it did happen do you want another Mass effect Andromeda but Kotor 3 style. All the best writers have moved on and won't be back if they make 3.
Totally underrated game from this era.. ENTER THE MATRIX on ps2.. I played and beat that game more times than a few. Wall-running and slowing time was so satisfying! I know itll never happen but I totally want a remaster.
Metal arms:glitch in the system was released in 2003 and honestly is probably one of my all time favorite games. I’m playing through it again right now and it still holds up very well. Never got enough love. Everyone should go check it out and hopefully get enough hype to finally release a sequel.
I loved Jack 2 and 3, but I always wished they’d stayed more true to the first one. Eco powers always seemed cooler than guns to me. So many games have guns. Maybe it’s because I’m a Texan with a lot of guns IRL, but I’m burnt out on video game guns lol. The first Jack and Daxter just seemed more original to me. And I always prefer a lush / tropical world look compared to a grungy, urban-slums look. That being said, they were all great. I still hope for a Precursor Legacy remake or a Jak 4 more similar to the original.
Yeah I remember Beyond Good and Evil ... it was such a shock surprise - started out all innocent but got dark in a good way. I really hope they bring out sequel
Porsche Unleashed. Those were the days. I remember having a simple stupid wheel (2 pedals, no shifter, combined as a flight controller too), but it made it soo much better!
KOTR is my favorite on this list. And while I'm not a LoZ fan, I did find copies of Wind Waker and Four Swords Adventures in pretty good condition at a resale shop. At $5 each, while I'm not a fan, even I can recognize how valuable they are. I might try playing them eventually.
Yes man, the trilogy deserves a remake, I wanna see the Empress & Dhaka with the modern textures and 4k resolution.... Not gonna lie, The Empress was hawt, despite being blocks!!
