We already published the list of best PS2 games of all time, now it’s time to discover the best PS2 space games of all time.
With amazing titles available, the PS2 definitely has a great library of space games.
So, if you’re a fan of both the PS2 and space games, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.
And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#5. Star Trek: Shattered Universe
- Release Data: Starsphere Interactive/TDK Mediactive, 2004
- Genre: Simulation » Space » Combat
As for its place among space combat games, it is a bit unimpressive in every imaginable way.
There’s just nothing about Shattered Universe worth recommending to Star Trek fans or space shooter fans, and if you fall into either category, you’re definitely better off looking elsewhere for your particular needs.
#4. Star Trek: Encounters
- Release Data: 4J Studios/Bethesda Softworks, 2006
- Genre: Simulation » Space » Combat
Now, you won’t get to actually play as one of your favorite captains here, but you can pilot the ships that you love, interact with your favorite characters, and see your favorite worlds.
So, for any true Star Trek fan, I would recommend this game even with it being so hard.
#3. Battlestar Galactica
- Release Data: Warthog/Universal Interactive, 2003
- Genre: Simulation » Space » Combat
Battlestar Galactica is a decent space shooter that will probably disappoint hardcore fans of the show who would want more of the magic that made the show so endearing.
You spend long stretches battling in deep space with a few cutscenes to explain the action, which is the opposite of the original television show.
#2. Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter
- Release Data: LucasArts/Electronic Arts, 2002
- Genre: Simulation » Space » Combat
Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter is a solid game that fans of the first entry in the series should check out without giving it a second thought.
While it’s not the prettiest game out there, it does offer strong control and entertaining gameplay, as well as the sound and music we’ve come to expect from a Star Wars game.
#1. Star Wars: Starfighter
- Release Data: LucasArts/Activision, 2001
- Genre: Simulation » Space » Combat
The game takes the concepts put forth in the company’s N64 Star Wars games and kicks them up a notch, adding a deeper, more enjoyable story, more solidified flight mechanics, and, of course, spectacular graphics.
Overall, Starfighter presents a compelling story, excellent presentation, and gameplay that will surely satisfy fans of LucasArts’ N64 shooters.
