- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

oo i kinda like all of my consoles equally (wii, ps2, xbox 360 and technically switch but i barely have any games), and i think i like arcade style games? im not really that into massive story games
One of the games I really enjoyed from the PS2 was the Shadow of the Colossus. It is an action RPG with almost zero storyline. Other notable mentions are GTA SA, Gran Turismo 3 and Tony Hawk 3.
I had the GameCube and played RE4 and it was amazing, I think they released it on on the PS2 as well.
For the WII, I loved Pikmin and Super Mario Galaxy. I used to play in a WII bowling league and it was a lot of fun.
I was not into the XBox 360 but I was playing on the PC at the time so some shared titles like BioShock, Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect, and Portal 2, Batman Arkham, Left 4 Dead, and Far Cry all were really good.
I think a sone of these would probably qualify as massive story games so they may not be your cup of tea.
