 Best Story on PlayStation 2 Over the years, games have proven to be a viable storytelling medium, as they combine the multimedia elements and production values of movies with the length and depth of novels--and of course, they're interactive, which ideally lets you experience the story in a game as vividly as possible. GameSpot's Best Story award goes to the one game that's most striking because of the quality of its original story, its characters, and its storytelling techniques. Here is the winner of Best Story on PlayStation 2:

While Dead to Rights isn't necessarily the best shooter released this year for the PlayStation 2, you'd be hard-pressed to find any game for the system that has anywhere near as much atmosphere and cinematic style. Simply put, the game is an excellent example of how far storytelling in video games has come. This gritty tale of corruption and betrayal revolves around Jack Slate, a policeman framed for murder. Slate's quest to clear his name sends him on a journey through life's dark underbelly. It all seems straightforward enough at first, but the story takes a number of surprising twists and ties up all the loose ends by the conclusion. The dark story draws more on elements from the action noir films that inspired it than other games, which gives it a distinctive feel. The mature content included in the game, which ranges from standard gunplay to exotic dancers, fits the strong narrative and completes the tight package.
