After a less-than-stellar launch lineup, the PlayStation 2 gets an A-title created exclusively for the system with Onimusha: Warlords—a remarkable action/adventure offering. You'll play as a lone samurai out to rescue a kidnapped princess in this graphically stunning game. The extensive character techniques and engrossing story line will keep gamers glued to their controllers for hours.

Here’s one game that does honor to both gamers and the PlayStation 2.
