PS2 Online Gaming

Metal Arms: Glitch in the system
Freedom Fighters (more then just the 3 multiplayer maps)
The conflict games (Conflict Global has LAN and online but the other 3 don't, The second one has DLC for the XBox version)

Then there are countless games that have online multiplayer but not LAN.

I remember playing freedom fighters multiplayer years ago and having a lot of fun with it.

So how about a list of offline games we have.Maybe?

Resident evil 4 should have a online scoreboard.Anybody else agree

Co-op is good in it, also I don't know why they didn't include a port of the Enemy Territory multiplayer as well as it was related the Same year as the PS2 & Xbox port of RTCW

I don't see why the stripped out the multiplayer in PS2 version, history sort of repeated itself in respect with multiplayer with the Wii port of Brothers in Arms Road to Hill 30 & Earned in Blood. They based the port on the inferior PS2 version instead of the XBox one, and totally stripped out the multiplayer, even for offline.

Midway Arcade Treasures

It had online score boards but yeah, funny thing is those games individually on Current Gen consoles will run you a few dollars each.

Stuntman ignition should have had online.It did for the ps3 version so why not the ps2 version?

SSX Tricky, definitely!

Both Unreal Tournament and Quake III Revolution preceded the release of the PS2 Network Adapter, but they would have most likely made for some good online twitch shooting action.


With the server shutdown of Twisted Metal: Black Online, it would have been nice if Twisted Metal: Head On - Extra Twisted Edition had included an online multiplayer feature on the PS2. RoadKill would have also made for a good online title, because the more online vehicular combat, the better.


Burnout 2: Point of Impact was a huge step forward for the Burnout series, and online multiplayer would have been the cherry on top of an already great game. Not to mention the fact that the Burnout series was published by Acclaim instead of EA Games at the time, so it's online servers could have very well survived the subsequent server shutdowns of it's successors. The futuristic racer XGRA: Extreme-G Racing Association would have made for a unique online racing experience, with it's variety of game modes, weapons and tracks.


Despite their PS2 ports not being developed by Neversoft, both Tony Hawk's Project 8 and Tony Hawk's Proving Ground could have benefited greatly by including online multiplayer.


Probably one of most obvious choices, TimeSplitters 2 had the potential to be one of the PS2's greatest online shooters, had Free Radical Design finished refining a proper online mode. Not to take anything away from the included LAN mode, of course. Similar case as with Burnout 2, since the TimeSplitters series was published by Eidos Interactive instead of EA Games at the time, TimeSplitters 2's online mode could have very well survived the server shutdown of TimeSplitters: Future Perfect.

nice picks. Unreal Tournament and Quake are huge ones, as online play would have vaulted them probably into the top ps2 shooters.
