8. Perfect Dark
Score: 97/100
For the Nintendo 64 console, Rare created and released the first-person shooter game Perfect Dark in 2000. This game, which is the first installment of the Perfect Dark series, revolves around the story of Joanna Dark, an agent working at the Carrington Institute research center. Her goal is to thwart an alien conspiracy orchestrated by the rival company known as DataDyne.
7. Red Dead Redemption 2
Score: 97/100
Red Dead Redemption 2 mainly follows the fictionalized representation of the United States in 1899 and follows the exploits of outlaw Arthur Morgan, a member of the Van der Linde gang, who must deal with the decline of the Wild West whilst attempting to survive against the government forces, rival gangs, and other adversaries.
6. Super Mario Galaxy 2
Score: 97/100
Super Mario Galaxy 2 will once again take you back to childhood. The game is based on a 2010 platform video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii. It was first announced at E3 2009 and is the sequel to 2007’s Super Mario Galaxy. It was released worldwide in 2010. Much like the first game, the story follows Mario as he pursues the Koopa King, Bowser, into outer space, where he has imprisoned Princess Peach and taken control of the universe using Power Stars and Grand Stars.
5. Super Mario Galaxy
Score: 97/100
Super Mario Galaxy is set in outer space, where Mario travels through different galaxies to collect Power Stars, earned by completing missions, defeating a boss, or reaching a particular area. Each galaxy contains planetoids and orbiting structures for the player to explore.
The player can usually jump from one independent object and fall toward another one nearby. Although the main gameplay is in 3D, there are several areas in the game in which the player’s movements are restricted to a two-dimensional plane.
4. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2
Score: 98/100
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 was developed for the Game Boy Color by Natsume and was released in the United States and Europe in November 2000. The game features two modes of play: thirteen skaters, seven stages, and a password system to aid in tracking the player’s progress.
The Game Boy Color’s limited capacity necessitated a change in perspective to side-scrolling and isometric overhead levels and a completely synthesized soundtrack. The game takes place in an isometric overhead perspective and features all levels and game modes, excluding the level editor, multiplayer, and skater customization modes.
3. Grand Theft Auto IV
Score: 98/100
Grand Theft Auto IV is carrying the emotion of the 90s. This is an action-adventure game from 2008 that Rockstar North and Rockstar Games both developed. The video game is set within the fictional Liberty City, based in New York City. The single-player story follows Eastern European war veteran Niko Bellic and his attempts to escape his past while under pressure from high-profile criminals. The open-world design lets players freely roam Liberty City, consisting of three main islands, and the neighbouring state of Alderney, which is based in New Jersey.
2. SoulCalibur
Score: 98/100
Developed by Project Soul and made by Namco, the 3D fighting game Soulcalibur. It is the second game in the Soulcalibur series, and Soul Edge came first in December 1995. Originally released in arcades on July 30, 1998, it ran on the Namco System 12 hardware. It was ported to Dreamcast in 1999 with new features and improved graphics. The North American version was released in September 1999 as a launch game for the Dreamcast and was part of the successful launch of the new console.
1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Score: 99/100
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time stands alone as the best game ever made. The N64 game was released in 1998 and has become a fan favourite among gamers, but not everyone agrees. The game received an average user score of just 91 out of 100.
