6th Gen Action Games

List of all the ps2 action games i can think of. This is an incomplete list that will see updates. I plan to review most if not all of these
I ended up adding other games from the 6th gen that i feel have this same energy to it.
There are a few games that would fall into this list that i have left out because they are dogshit and not worth giving attention (dmc2, GGO)

It's missing Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks
I recommend steering clear of Way of The Samurai. The first game at least is extremely basic, has combat that can be really frustrating since every computer knows tricks that you can't even learn if you tried because of the move learning system, its extremely limited in what you can actually do and feels so small. No idea about 2 and 3 from my memory is a much better game bogged down with menial fetch quests being required dozens of times over to advance certain plot lines.

I haven't played it myself, but I've heard that the Dreamcast version of Maken Shao, Maken X, plays a lot better. Not sure if you'd be interested in trying that, but the option is there lol.
