ZeroSignal620 02/24/21 8:37:41 PM #25:	Best Game of 2002 https://www.bracketmaker.com/tmenu.cfm?1&tid=350000 Ran: February 2010 Overall top seed: Metroid Prime 1 seeds: Metroid Prime, GTA Vice City, Kingdom Hearts, Super Mario Sunshine Final Four: See above Ultimate Loser: Battlefield 1942 Championship: Metroid Prime defeated Kingdom Hearts 78-63 in overtime With 2009 behind us and a good 11 months left in 2010, I figured what better time then that moment to start filling the remaining void in the decade. Next up was 2002, where the PlayStation, Nintendo 64, and Dreamcast were officially out the door and we were fully fledged in the latest era of gaming. Retroactive tournaments went back to top 10 nominations, and Metroid Prime led the pack to get the overall seed. As you can tell, 2002 would join 2009 to get all the top seeds to the Final Four, and they mostly did it in confident fashion. Metroid Prime looked the strongest, winning against a Monster Rancher game, Onimusha 2, Sonic Advance, and Wild Arms 3 all with ease. Next in strength was Kingdom Hearts, pasting Serious Sam and Gitaroo Man, before putting just barely 60% on Sly Cooper and Ratchet and Clank. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City made it to the semifinals, but not before being unable to double TimeSplitters 2 or Tactics Ogre, before barely escaping Sonic Adventure 2 Battle by 2 votes. Mario Sunshine made easy work out of Sega Soccer Slam before doubling Fatal Frame, barely not doubling Harmony of Dissonance, and then having a closer than expected match with #6 seed Jet Set Radio Future in the Elite Eight. Wait, did I say a #6 seed in the Elite Eight? When it was all said and done, the only #2 seed to meet its #1 seed counterpart was Ratchet and Clank in KH's region. REmake was upset by Jet Set Radio Future in round 3, Morrowind lost to #3 seed Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, and Eternal Darkness lost by a single vote in overtime to #7 seed Wild Arms 3 in the second round. The most impressive Cinderella run this time around was Sonic Advance, a #12 seed, knocking off Star Fox Adventures and Warcraft III before bowing out to Metroid Prime, and we got to see #11 seed Grandia Xtreme win against Contra: Shattered Soldier. The only other potential upset we nearly saw was Burnout 2 lose by a single vote to Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance. For how good the 1 seeds were, the semifinals were clear as day on who was going to meet in the finals. Metroid Prime disposed of Vice City 35-20, while Kingdom Hearts put up 66% on Mario Sunshine with an impressive 28-14 victory. By many people's standards, including my own, 2002's top two games made the finals. Prime and KH were close for the entire first day, and after double checking the votes and tallying up the numbers, we had our first ever tie in the championship after 24 hours, forcing an overtime. And in overtime, Metroid Prime decided it was done playing. The troops came in to support Samus in full fashion, and Kingdom Hearts didn't stand a chance, causing Square to fall to 0-4 in the finals after losing 78-63, a total that is still the highest combined amount of votes to this day. The 02 tournament has a few things that wouldn't happen today. I still think Prime repeats if I posted the same bracket starting tomorrow, but I also think the following goes down... 1) Kingdom Hearts wins, but not without a legit fight from Ratchet and Clank 2) Sonic Adventure 2 might beat Vice City. The GTA series has soured for the most part on B8 3) REmake wins its region, barring any craziness from Mario Sunshine. Still, no genuine time to sit on those results, I was on a mission to get shit done, and it wouldn't be long before the next tournament was underway...
