Capcom is a video game company that needs no introduction. The sheer number of excellent titles that the studio has developed and published over the years is staggering, with the company dabbling in everything from pure fighting titles to more expansive action-adventure games that are a blast in their own right. Capcom has left a mark across most video game platforms, and the PlayStation 2 is no exception in this regard.

Capcom has released many great titles on the PS2, which makes it really hard to choose a limited set of great video games when most of their releases have had a massive impact in their own right. However, the best PS2 games by Capcom find ways to set themselves apart from the rest and help to cement the Japanese studio's status as one of the most revered companies in gaming.

10 Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter

The first Breath of Fire game on the PS2 divided opinions quite a bit. The game was pretty short for a JRPG and made some massive changes to the series formula that received a fairly mixed reception.

However, there can be no denying that the game's mechanics were solid despite these changes. It's a fun entry in the series, although it's far from the best Breath of Fire game around.

9 Street Fighter Alpha Anthology

Defensive Fighting Game Punishes- Street Fighter Alpha 3

The Street Fighter Alpha Anthology features three of the most beloved fighting games of all time. This collection is a blast to play through, even if it may have been released a bit too late in the PS2's lifespan.

The third game, in particular, is considered by many to be one of the greatest fighting games ever made and a highlight in the Street Fighter series. Fans of the franchise who wanted to enjoy some of its classic titles were pretty happy with the Anthology and its content.

8 Mega Man Anniversary Collection

Speaking of collections, another compilation of games Capcom released for the PS2 pertained to the Mega Man series. This Anniversary Collection features the first eight Mega Man games from the classic series, which are all a ton of fun to play in their own right.

Given the lack of any Mega Man content in recent times, most fans still love this collection and what it brings to the table. This was followed up by the Mega Man X Collection, which was also pretty well-received.

7 Onimusha 3: Demon Siege

It's shame that more people don't talk about the Onimusha series, which is a pretty fun action-adventure franchise that was absolutely flourishing back in the day. The games were pretty similar to the Resident Evil series but focused more on the action, with the combination of Japanese history and supernatural elements being a blast.

The third game modernized the controls of the series quite a bit and made it one of the most approachable titles in the series. Slashing and dicing through enemies was a blast in Onimusha 3: Demon Siege, with many players considering it to be the best game in the series.

6 God Hand

God Hand is a game that was bashed by critics upon launch and never really saw the success it deserved. It's a shame, really, since this game is one of the craziest action titles anyone can check out.

God Hand is an extremely challenging game that ramped up the difficulty as players improved. Of course, this was a double-edged sword at times, but most people didn't mind since the action combat was a blast while the game's story was so ridiculous that it added to the fun factor in its own special way.

5 Viewtiful Joe

Viewtiful Joe is a beautiful action game on the PS2 that has aged pretty well, courtesy of its cel-shaded art style. The game's unique setting coupled with some great beat-em-up gameplay made for a great time across the first two titles.

It's a shame that the series has lain dormant for quite some time since many players loved wrecking enemies and using their VFX powers to good effect. Fans looking for a great side-scrolling action title can still have a great time with the first two Viewtiful Joe games.

4 Resident Evil – Code: Veronica

The Resident Evil series was churning out hit after hit after its successful launch on the PlayStation, and the sixth generation of gaming also received its fair share of gems. A great addition here was Resident Evil – Code: Veronica, which fleshed out the lore of the series quite a bit.

The oppressive atmosphere of this game really makes its scares pop out. This, coupled with the scintillating survival horror game everyone expects from the series, led to a game that is still held in high regard to this day.

3 Okami

Okami is a game that deserved way more time in the spotlight than it ended up getting. The game's unique art style and setting made it a truly one-of-a-kind experience, and the title still feels fresh and engaging to this day.

Controlling Amaterasu and using the Celestial Brush to both solve puzzles and fight enemies in combat made for a great time. This unique gameplay loop made Okami a fun title that turned into a cult classic despite selling poorly at launch.

2 Devil May Cry

Devil May Cry Trish and Dante Standing in Smoke

Devil May Cry is one of the most popular action games of all time, with its debut on the PS2 being nothing short of spectacular. Controlling Dante and using his flashy set of moves to beat down demons and other enemies made for a great time.

The game wasn't apologetic about its toughness, and players had to really come to grips with the combat system to even stand a chance against the many tough enemies and bosses in their way. There's a reason why the sequel is hated by many fans: it tried to make the experience more casual and trivialized the combat in the process.

1 Resident Evil 4

Regenerators

With the upcoming remake of Resident Evil 4, it's clear that Capcom needs to knock it out of the park to justify this remake to the fans. After all, Resident Evil 4 is considered to be one of the greatest action-adventure games of all time.

The adventures of Leon Kennedy marked a shift in the tone of the series, for better or for worse. It's clear that the people working on the remake have their work cut out for them, and only time will tell if their efforts did justice to the original game.
