Top PS2 Games
Tekken 5
Tekken 3 is a nostalgic favourite for many, but Tekken 5 is the best game in the series for the PS2. It’s not a huge departure from Tekken 4, but it does refine the combat system and delivers some of the most iconic boss battles in fighting game history. If you’re looking for a game to test your skills, Black and Twisted Metal Black are both fantastic entries in the series.
