The PlayStation 2 Anthology Tetralogy celebrates the best-selling console of all time. From its conception to the end of its lifecycle, from its fascinating history to its countless editions—collector’s or otherwise—from its revolutionary architecture and Emotion Engine processor to its most original accessories and the detailed reviews of more than 4,380 unique titles, the PlayStation 2 Anthology stands as the most complete and definitive work ever dedicated to this legendary console.

This first volume of the PlayStation 2 Anthology Tetralogy explores the system’s origins, architecture, and the excitement surrounding its announcement, including the pre-launch events held in Japan and the United States. It features all officially released games worldwide, covering titles from the letter “A” through the beginning of “H,” along with an initial section dedicated to unreleased projects.
