What game has been the most memorable for you this year, which one stands out amongst the rest and in your opinion represents something that deserves the title of 'game of the year' - has the best game of all time been released in 2001, and would we even of known if one had?
Irrespective of your games console, after all, games are games, what do you believe is the best game of 2001 so far, do you think it's the best game of all time, if so say why, and if not, perhaps say which is the best game of all time. Naturally everyone will have a difference of opinion, so please respect the person who says Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is the best game of all time, for they clealy know nothing and have missed out on something...:-)
In my view, the game that has really had the biggest impact this year and has been in my opinion 'the' best game of the year, is Shenmue 2. Unfortunately, this game hasn't had th best opportunity to shine as it's out on a console, void from retail stores, but that doesn't vex me in one way at all - it's an absolutely breathtaking epic that makes Shenmue 1 seem as interesting as rolling a dice.
Visually awe inspiring, this has to be the most lifelike title of all time, and really does have to be played, or at the very least seen, to be believed. Ryo is back again, only this time he's not dubbed over, subtitles make the game more authentic - and the acting seems a world apart from the game before it.
Anyway, there're more cut scenes, worlds to uncover - you can become lost in Shenmue 2 even more than the first, play for hours, maybe even days on end, think you are actually Ryo again and when you've completed it you might actually find real life boring in comparison.
I would be tempted to say this is the best game of all time it's definitely one of them, and when it's released on the X Box it'll hopefully receive the recognition that it deserves, and people will be making shrines for Yu Suzuki, possibly.
However, Nights is definitely the best game of all time, in my viewpoint anyway.
Thanks ever so much for reading, please have your say!

This game does look brilliant. I have only had a quick go on it, but from what I saw, I can't wait to really play it.
For now, I am going to say GTA3 for Game of the year, but this is subject to change.

i didn't read all that probably great stuff you've written but i get what your saying to us and my game of the year would be pc game cossacks or metal gear solid 2 allthough i've been waiting for the game for bloody ages, cossacks is so much fun for war manics and you can hav an easy to setup multiplyer battle too just be online click on multi-and join or creat a game! im usually playing multiplyer and its so much fun, if you get borred at playing the computer all the time play people from different countries or just ur m8 who has the same game.or i would reccomend medal of honar allied assault, i can't wait till it comes out and it'll be bloody amazing i've got a couple of movies pre-viewing it and all you war manics will love the normandy d-day leval its great stuff,
war-manic!
war-manic!
Well, at first I felt like Metal Gear Solid was going to take it but then I played it at it didn't live up to the hype. GTA3 is an awsome game with loads of replay value and a great story line that will leave you guessing as to what is going to happen next.
In about one week though I'll finally have my copy of Shenmue 2 from the UK and I have a real good feel that this game is going to be the greatest of the year.
You know it's funny how a game on a dieing system can raise such an uproar.

Somehow, I've managed this year without ANY consoles, just my PC. However, on Christmas Day, I'll be rewarded with a PS2 along with GT3, GTA£, James Bond: Agent Under Fire and Jak&Daxter. FUN!
Anyway, favourite game? GTA3. Just.
