The five best video games of 2003 according to Metacritic

Although there have been several good years, the one that particularly attracts attention is the 2003for two reasons. The first is that two companies as gigantic as Rockstar and Nintendo released games at the same time. And the second is that it was this year that some titles that have gone down in geek history went on sale.

The brightest of 2003

Since we’re really nostalgic here, we tried, with the help of the stars of Metacritic, to find out what were the five best games that hit the market in 2003. That said, we can begin.

5. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

We in augurate the list with what is considered by many to be the best video game than the Star Wars franchise

never gave us. Its RPG-like gameplay has aged very well over time. Not to mention beloved characters like Darth Revan himself. Its Metacritic score is 94. Not bad for fifth place.

4. Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3

Although at first glance it may seem that they are just a port of Super Mario Bros. 3 For the Game Boy Advance, this title hides a few more secrets. First, the fact that the controls have been reworked to fit the handheld gives it a few extra points. If you still own your Game Boy Advance, give it a try, as it has a 94 on Metacritic.

3. Madden NFL 2004

To say that the early 2000s were one of the golden ages of American football is, we think, an understatement, since across the pond it was all the rage. In terms of video games, this game is really good, offering a wide variety of equipment and game modes. Seeing that, it’s no surprise that it has a 94 on Metacritic.

2. Grand Theft Auto Double Pack

What’s better than a game of GTA? On the right, two series of GTA! This pack brought together in a single box the two biggest titles of the franchise so far: GTA III

And City of Vice. The truth is that it was a good alternative if you wanted both titles. As for its rating on Metacritic, it is really high, with a 96 out of 100.

1. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

Nintendo has decided to inaugurate the new millennium with a video game from one of its most beloved sagas, and what a way to inaugurate it. Wind Waker It’s a favorite of many “video gamers” who started out at the turn of the century, and it’s no wonder, since it’s managed to hold on very well over the years. It has a score of 96 on Metacritic.

And you? What’s your favorite video game of 2003? It’s another year full of important, and especially interesting, games, so without user scores on sites like Metacritic, it would be pretty hard to choose.
