PlayStation 2 is the sixth generation video game console developed by Sony and released in 2000. There were two primary revisions — the original and "slim" one. They do not differ much except for the size. PS2 is regarded as the best-selling video game system of all times as there were sold a total of 155 million systems worldwide. There are numerous exclusive series originated in PS2 and continued their path onward to the further platforms: God of War, Killzone, Ratchet & Clank, Jak and Daxter and many more. This explains the production timeline of the console — the last one was released in 2013. So PS2 remained up-to-date even 7 years after the release of its successor. Unlike PS1 the console supported a wide variety of controllers such as fishing rods and guns as well as dance pads and guitars for rhythm-games. It is also the first known consoles to have a bundled TV with it — Sony released Bravia KDL-22PX300 with PS2 inside not to mention various enthusiasts which embed the screen right into the console's body.
RAWG publishes an average score only once a game has collected
6 or more user votes. Below that it
returns 0.0 — while still returning the full vote
breakdown. So a game nobody has ever rated and a game with five
“exceptional” votes arrive looking identical.
Those suppressed scores are recomputed from the breakdown, which recovers 13 of the 27 games here that would otherwise read as unrated. The rest have no votes at all — mostly obscure, regional or unported titles. That is a real absence, not a gap in the fetch: there is nothing to retrieve.
Everything with a vote ranks in one table, because the order is weighted rather than a raw mean: a score is shrunk toward the all-years mean of 3.79 (too few ranked games here to take a local one) in proportion to how thin its evidence is, so a two-vote 5.0 settles near the middle instead of on top. Metacritic joins at half that weight where it exists — 15 of these games have one.
Ordered by a weighted score, not the raw mean: each game's own average is shrunk toward the all-years mean of 3.79 in proportion to how few votes it rests on, and Metacritic is folded in at half that weight where it exists. A 6-vote 4.67 therefore ranks below a 2,100-vote 4.45 — the raw figure is shown under each score, and sorting by raw score ignores the weighting entirely.
Bars show how the votes split —
Exceptional, Recommended, Meh, Skip.
A ~ on the raw figure marks a score recomputed from a
breakdown RAWG suppresses.
No user has rated these, so there is no score to show or recover. Ordered by release date, newest first.
