What is the best console game ever?

Over at IGN, they review games for every system imaginable. I went through the ratings for the major platforms including Playstation, Playstation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360, Gamecube, Dreamcast and N64. There are only two out of hundreds of games on all these consoles that earned a perfect score of 10. One of the games I would have guessed. I would have thought that either Gran Turismo 2 (9.8) or Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (9.9) would have scored a 10.

But the only two games to earn a 10 are Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the N64. I’m not much into the fighting games but remember being blown away the first time I saw Soul Calibur. It was so much better looking than anything else at that time. And has any game since Ocarina been released with such high expectations still exceeded them? In my opinion, it’s the best console game ever released. It’s still the game by which all games are measured when I chat with friends who are console freaks. The first time I played Ocarina I got sucked into it’s world for days. It’s an amazing game even today.

  1. Soul Calibur was THE dreamcast game. I remember playing it all the time. It was one of two discs that Kozmo left us with when they went out of business. (The other was Crazy Taxi).
