Best Role-Playing Game on PlayStation 2, Nominees
 
 
 Role-playing games are one of the most prolific, most successful game genres. No other genre immerses you so completely in a fully realized gameworld. The PlayStation 2 had a good run of role-playing games this year, though one of the following five nominees for Best RPG on PlayStation 2 truly stood out from the pack:

Dual Hearts

 
 Publisher: Atlus
Developer: Atlus

Dual Hearts is well-made and enjoyable enough that anyone who likes action RPGs should have a good time with it.
 
Kingdom Hearts

 
 Publisher: Square
Developer: Square

Kingdom Hearts is great, largely because it successfully captures the spirit both of Square and Disney in a single game.
 
Suikoden III

 
 Publisher: Konami
Developer: KCET

While it has a few minor problems, they are dwarfed by the sheer amount of enjoyment the game will undoubtedly offer to anyone who enjoys a good RPG.
 
Summoner 2

 
 Publisher: THQ
Developer: Volition
Check latest prices »
 
Summoner 2 is by and large a very good adventure role-playing game, with a memorable cast of characters and plenty of pure action.
 
Wild Arms 3

 
 Publisher: SCEA
Developer: Media Vision
Check latest prices »
 
It's a well-made game that defies a few aesthetic conventions but leaves most tried-and-true Japanese RPG gameplay elements well enough alone.
