STARWARS: BATTLEFRONT 2

We all know that Star wars battlefront came to the ps4 and xbox one but must we not forget the legendary game that got us into it, the action packed star wars
battlefront 2. You can have the power of a jedi or the firepower of a strormtrooper, or roll around the battlefield as a Droideka reflecting blasters and killing anything that gets in the way. The game has enough content to keep any one satisfied for hours. The campaign is enjoyable and very good, but what happens when you get bored? you can jump in to a galactic conquest and start conquering planets either as the rebels alliance, The galactic  empire, The galactic republic and The confederacy of independent system.

THE WARRIORS

The warriors, based on the movie that goes by the same name, would defiantly of had to be featured on this list as a classic,well it is a Rockstar game if you already didnt know. The game was one of the funnest games I had played, it even featured a few co op game modes. If you haven't seen the movie (I suggest you do), the game is set in 1970s New York city 90 days prior to the events that happened in the movie where THE WARRIORS are framed for the murder of a leading member named Cyrus of The Gramercy Riffs, leading to The Warriors trying to return to there territory of Coney island while trying to avoid being killed by other gangs other then the riffs. You play as a range of characters from the warriors gang that were featured in the film.  The main protagonist is Cleon the warriors leader, which sortly changes after the events of the meeting where the riffs leader Cyrus is murdered. The game is a action adventure which is a beat' em up game that has large brawls, you also are able to tag your mark as you go around the city doing missions.

JAK AND DAXTER

THE JAK AND DAXTER SERIES

I completely loved this series, it had a great story , the combat was very good and the characters were badass. The titles that came after the first Jak and D-
axter reminded me of gta in a way, without the drugs,sex and over the top violence. The game is a action platformer and  is open world but also
in one title it is a racing game. The series is very similar to Ratchet and Clank or you could say Ratchet and Clank is similar to Jak and Daxter since it came to the scene 3 years earlier. Throughout the games you play as a character named Jak with his side kick Daxter a former  elf like creature turned ottsel (A fictional animal that is a otter and weasel combined), who are both trying to uncover secrets of a ancient race called the Precursors and the secrets of there world. Throughout the series the team always find them selves getting in to trouble, such as in Jak 2 where Jak was experimented on with energy called Dark eco (later on in Jak 3 he is blessed with Light eco). From Jak 2 on wards you get to enjoy a range of vehicles and weapons, which are beautifully designed. Below I will give a quick summary of the 4 titles that I loved playing! Be aware that the game has other titles in the series but I will only be covering the ones I have played.

• Jak II 

Released: October 14, 2003
Developers: Naughty dog games, Mass media games
 Publisher: Sony computer Entertainment

Plot: In this sequel Jak becomes a darker character then he was in the precursor legacy. Jak, accompanied by Daxter,kiera and Samos are thrust in to the industrious Haven city where he is captured by the krimzon guard to become a lab rat for a series of dark eco experiments that leave him left with a savage alter ego. Eventually freed by his side kick Daxter, Jak becomes a wanted fuguitive and is bent on getting revenge. He makes the blind decision to join forces with the rebel group Underground, where he takes the fight to the Krimzon guard. Being subject to a string of events he was not prepared for.

Changes between The precursors legacy and Jak 2: The difference is the gun play replacing the eco power moves and better approach of a story then its previous title. Jak is also able to use the dark eco at his advantage during the game making it a fun and more enjoyable experiance. When you play this game you will see what I mean with it having a Gta type of feel to it but in a fantasy world.

RATCHET AND CLANK

THE RATCHET AND CLANK SERIES

Number one on my list of what games I consider to be apart of the ps2 classics would need to be the ratchet and clank series. This games series kept me entertained hour after hour during my child hood and will never be forgotten. Through out this action plat former you play as Ratchet the mechanic who belongs to a feline like race named the lombax, Ratchet is accompanied by his robot side kick Clank. Through out the Ratchet and Clank series the player is given challenges and missions to complete as he travels around different galaxy's  and planets fighting a variety of different enemy's and solving puzzles . What I really loved about the series was the large array of quirky gadgets and over the top weapons you had at your disposal, as you progress through out the games you discover new weapons and gadgets that you are able to use. Another reason I enjoyed this game was being able to visit a number of planets and galaxy's which consisted of different enemy's and bosses. In some of the games there are plenty of items such as skins which could be acquired by completing challenges and finding hidden objects. The titles that you are about to read are only some of the games included in the series and a few more are out there for whom ever enjoys these games, If I had played the others they would of been included in the list. The series continues over to ps3 and 4.
