Here are the 10 best games of 2000, according to Metacritic:
Skies of Arcadia was one of the standout Dreamcast titles when it launched in 2000. The turn-based RPG puts players in control of a young air pirate named Vyse. He’s joined by a group of friends to stop the Valuan Empire. Reviewers at the time were impressed by Arcadia‘s visuals and loved exploring the world.
The original SSX was the first game released under the EA Sports Big label. The best-in-class snowboarder was a sign of things to come, as Big quickly became a fan-favorite publisher with games like NBA Street, NFL Street, and future SSX games. While SSX Tricky is the franchise’s gold standard, the original game impressed with its smooth gameplay and classic levels.
