God of War (PS2) 10/10
The developers of God of War "get" it. They know what makes a game fun, and they know how to make a game look good and animate smoothly. Plus the story of Kratos and how he interacts with Mount Olympus and the gods of Athens is very interesting. Devil May Cry wishes it controlled as good as this game. All of the action movies are balanced, finishing moves are the answer to in-game cut scenes in videogames, and the polish/level of detail of this game sets the bar for games to come. I played this game 4 years late but holy hell I'm glad I did. Plus this game runs in 480p and looks amazing with PS3 upscaling on. Play this game if you haven't, it's worth it.
