Weird one for me, as I remember a lot of stuff about this game, except the game itself haha. I was in a mall waiting with my grandparents for my mother, and after walking a bit, we found a stall selling some PS2 games they had to dispose of. For some reason, I was fascinated by the box art of Shinobi, and my grandparents bought it to me as a gift for like 15$ to 20$. This game was way too hard for me at the time, as I could only get past the first 3 levels, but it left an impression on me. I rediscovered this game a decade later, and now I wish this game gets the recognition I feel it never had.

The 1st game I ever played on ps2... one of the best stories + amazing gameplay! The cinematics has great graphics and the bosses are really fun. After finishing 1/4 of the game, the gameplay even changes a bit. There are bosses after every 2 stages.
Those games also need your vote!
Berserk and the Band of the Hawk

The action of cutting through hundreds of enemies, fundamental to the Warriors series, is fused together with the dark and gruesome atmosphere of the world of "Berserk", making various heretofore unseen acts possible, such as using a giant man-sized sword to cut enemies in half, as well as smash or send them flying with the "Slash" and "Smash" actions.

Golden Axe
Golden AxeProgress is made through the game by fighting through Death Adder's henchmen, including men armed with clubs and maces, skeleton warriors, and knights. Players are able to attack using their weapon, jump and cast spells that hurt all enemies on the screen. The force of this magic depends on the number of "bars" of magic power currently available. The bars are filled by collecting blue 'magic potions' attained by kicking little sprites who then drop the potions. These sprites appear during regular levels and during bonus stages in between levels. The male warrior Ax is able to cast earth spells. The dwarf Gilius, casts lightning spells and the female warrior Tyris casts fire magic. Each character has a different number of maximum magic bars and varying ranges of attack. Various steeds known as bizarrians are found in the game. These can be ridden when the enemy rider is knocked off, or if one is found dormant. The least powerful steed is known as the Cockatrice, which can be used to knock down enemies with a swipe of its tail. The more powerful dragon, which can either shoot fireballs or breathe fire, is found later in the game.
