NOTE: Game 12 (Chaos Wars - 1:06) is incorrectly documented; the year of release is 2008, and the metacritic score should be 64. Thanks @shaman xeed for catching this!
I recommend Dino Stalker (number 24). You play as a WWII pilot that teleports to the dinosaur world, slowly figuring out his means of escape and the world around him
Played exactly ONE of these games... probably for a reason. PS2 must the console with the largest library of games by far.... which means a lot of crap. Though one man's trash is another man's treasure.
Games on this list I have: Dual Hearts Evergrace Radiata Stories Nightmare of Druaga The PS2's library is the gift that keeps on giving, it's totally wild
I love your PS2 list....that was the last console I owned, and there were hundreds of games to choose from....not to mention the PlayStation magazine with demo disks....that's where I discovered Ape Escape, my all time favorite.....great job...
@@Joshua_N-A Yeah, demos were a big thing back then, because there were no internet video reviews, so it was the best way for developers to have players check out their game. You could buy/rent demo discs, they'd come in magazines as freebies, or even within other games. For example in Crash Bandicoot 3 on PS1, if you entered a code on title screen, you could play demo of Spyro the dragon. And then, if you love a game from the demo disc, but can't find it in your town, you end up replaying same short gameplay over and over again lol
@@Krlja Yep I remember the days of "this game never made it to a store in my town". You'd jusrt have whole sections of gaming cut off depending where you were, not like today.
Wizardry VI, true definition of a hidden gem. I have it but I still need to make a DVD image to play it more often because I don't want to shorten the life of the console's lens.
There were so many ps2 games back in the day. every time I went to the game store a new ps2 title would apper. used to buy second hand. shadow hearts, shadow of memories, clock tower 3, evergrace, haunted grounds, bloody roar 4 ect. so many
@@GaryRetroGamer Hey brother so happy I nailed the South Park I.d. Ya PS2, my collection of CDs n vinyl of 80s n 90s music South Park n my cat actually make my 40's bearable. Gary have you played The Kings Field series? Groovy stuff imo. :-)
ape escape 3 , good game! ghost master the gravenville chronicles, finished it 3 times resident evil dead aim, played it, never finished it seven samurai 20xx such an underrated game. ty the tazmanian tiger, nice game all else.. yeah never heard of them before
World war zero was such a fun game! A game I've never seen in these compilations is stealth force 2. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person to ever finish that game lol. Do note that I haven't watched all videos so it might be in another one.
First thing new to your channel absolutely love it game list videos are awesome the best I've ever seen honestly 2nd the intro features a quick tune where have I heard that lol
Thanks and welcome to the channel! I am glad you are enjoying the videos! The opening theme for this particular video is one of the "stings" from South Park - which usually plays at the start of every new scene.
... Not even a minute in and I'm already crying... at the fact that Ape Escape 3 is very obviously on the list... my first ever Ape Escape game and barely anyone knows about the series minus the first game... it makes my heart ache. Also, I have the Tokobots game, Splashdown, Stuntman Ignition, AND Dokapon Kingdom! :) (Side note: I have Dokapon Kingdom for the Wii, and all the rest of the games mentioned I have for PS2)
I cried watching this video and remembering my childhood , I played almost all these games and many others. Thanks friend !! you made me NOSTALGIA and actually King of console is PS2
i play it, chaos wars, casual turn base, it's more easy to learn the gameplay, but a bit tricky, because you must level up all of your character, because there are some event that you must 1 v 1 enemy, and you don't have any option rather than win it, you can't level up (grinding item or leveling) when that event come.
Actually, my first ever COD game I ever owned was WAW: FF. Even though it’s not one of the best COD games ever, it still is a good game. Wish it at least had the Zombies game on there :/
Hi found this video recently and I find it a bit funny that the first game i got on ps2 by my parentes was cell damage overdrive. I know that i've also played ape escape 3
Cocoto fishing master is a terrifying game. I was scared to play it as a child cause the fish designs scare me. To this day I still feel uncomfortable with it
Hey, that side-scrolling space shooter towards the end looked pretty cool. Even though the genre is a bit dated, a good one can be fun and immersive. >blowing dust away from PS2< Amazon here I come!
i saw 5 games that need to have com back and remastered in your list game that i have that was unstable on the ps1 or 2 like say ,,ape escape 3 ,half life ,and 3 more that i my look in to
I am at my wits end can anyone help me find this PS2 game i played so long ago at a friends house. I believe it was a turn based strategy game where you command characters or heros, i cant remember if they were mercenaries or not. There was a mechanic where you could give the rewards to your group or keep it all to yourself, i think it would make them hate you if you decided to keep all the rewards. I think there might have been either a Native American with a wolf or a barbarian as a unit you command. It was a fantasy setting, and a isometric top down view, i also think units moved between tiles. Thats all i could really remember.
Can I make a suggestion your game lists are so superior to others I've seen could you do a list of scary creepy eerie games list for PS2 PS3 and any other console you want I've been trying to to find list of scary games for PS2-3 but most have the standard list RES E SHill and so on that would be great and a shooters list for PS2 or 3 would be cool just a suggestion
That's an excellent idea and one I've pondered for a looong time. The XBox/PS2 generation was a golden age for horror games that extended for a little bit into the Xbox360/PS3 generation. I've avoided doing "themed" lists thus far - but who knows? I may get to it soon...thanks for the feedback!
Idk if y'all remember this I hope u do tho there was this game where this guy had a mission to go to a I think pizza place to stomp on roaches or something it's basically a violent street game can anyone remember what's it called?
Can someone help me? There's a game that I can't remember the name of. All I remember, it was futuristic (kinda like F-zero?) bike racing, with a girl (or guy?) in blue on the cover art. It was before 2004 I think on the PS2
Ape Escape and Jak X are considered obscure? On the other hand, I own Dragon Rage and Future Tactics...and frankly, they should have stayed obscure. I would point out that several of these showed up as demos on Playstation Underground and the like. So people may have 'played' them, just not the full games. Edit: I'm guessing a couple of these, like Half-Life and Rogue Trooper are on here for the PS2 *versions* being obscure, rather than the game itself.

thank you Gary! awesome video as always, crazy the ps2 library seems to have no end! ton of hidden gems!
I recommend Dino Stalker (number 24). You play as a WWII pilot that teleports to the dinosaur world, slowly figuring out his means of escape and the world around him
Thanks man,i played and i love it.
Played exactly ONE of these games... probably for a reason. PS2 must the console with the largest library of games by far.... which means a lot of crap. Though one man's trash is another man's treasure.
What was the one game just wondering?
@@Anex952 Ty the Tasmanian Tiger.
@@ChipWhitingtonIII oh nice I haven't played that but I have heard its a decent game.
@@Anex952 Yeah, a serviceable 3D platformer... never got around to the sequels though.
@@ChipWhitingtonIII have heard good things about that one... will probably buy it when I get the chance at the local flea market
One of the best channels to discover new rare gems! Thank you for your videos!
Games on this list I have:
Dual Hearts
Evergrace
Radiata Stories
Nightmare of Druaga
The PS2's library is the gift that keeps on giving, it's totally wild
2:25 the cut is just perfect lol
Actually D.O.N is really popular in my country, Indonesia.
I know you just posted this but I need 100 more
1000
I love your PS2 list....that was the last console I owned, and there were hundreds of games to choose from....not to mention the PlayStation magazine with demo disks....that's where I discovered Ape Escape, my all time favorite.....great job...
Hey thanks! Glad you liked it! If you want more, Please check out the other PS2 vids on my channel.
a lot of these were actually pretty popular and got featured a lot in gaming magazines back then. some even got demos. man, i miss those days.
I heard magazines used to have a demo disc included as a freebie. Is that right?
@@Joshua_N-A Yeah, demos were a big thing back then, because there were no internet video reviews, so it was the best way for developers to have players check out their game. You could buy/rent demo discs, they'd come in magazines as freebies, or even within other games. For example in Crash Bandicoot 3 on PS1, if you entered a code on title screen, you could play demo of Spyro the dragon.

@@Krlja Yep I remember the days of "this game never made it to a store in my town". You'd jusrt have whole sections of gaming cut off depending where you were, not like today.
Majority still holds well. Ignition is always on the shelf...
Shadow Tower Abyss and Wizardry games... those are great titles.
Thank you for bringing up memories I've completely forgotten about
*100 reasons to play again Playstation²*
Congrats on the video
This has quickly became a favorite channel of mine, awesome work as always
Wizardry VI, true definition of a hidden gem. I have it but I still need to make a DVD image to play it more often because I don't want to shorten the life of the console's lens.
As a fan of PS2 this is the best channel that I can relate about it, I subscribed you.
Lots of brilliant games again. loved splashdown. Not played a lot of the games on this list
Evergrace is a hidden gem if I've ever played one!
There were so many ps2 games back in the day.
every time I went to the game store a new ps2 title would apper.
used to buy second hand.
shadow hearts, shadow of memories, clock tower 3, evergrace, haunted grounds, bloody roar 4 ect. so many
Great Vid. Tyco Rc and Battalion Wars should've been on here. I'm sure barely anyone remembers playing those lol
I WAS LOOKING FOREVER FOR FUTURE TACTICS, THANK GOODNESS for GARY.
South Park intro.. :-) PS2 is all I play because I'm an old man.. and I'm mourning my youth..Thank ya Gary!
NiCE! You are the first person to correctly identify the South Park intro! Well played, from one old man to another!
@@GaryRetroGamer Hey brother so happy I nailed the South Park I.d. Ya PS2, my collection of CDs n vinyl of 80s n 90s music South Park n my cat actually make my 40's bearable. Gary have you played The Kings Field series? Groovy stuff imo. :-)

Splashdown, Silpheed the lost planet and Jak X Combat Racing are such great games, They have great graphics and they are a blast to play.
... Not even a minute in and I'm already crying... at the fact that Ape Escape 3 is very obviously on the list... my first ever Ape Escape game and barely anyone knows about the series minus the first game... it makes my heart ache.

(Side note: I have Dokapon Kingdom for the Wii, and all the rest of the games mentioned I have for PS2)
You forgot Carwash Tycoon. A true hidden gem.
Man that game is bullshit. Another crappy not even fun game :-/
3:36 Fugitive Hunter😍😍😍
I cried watching this video and remembering my childhood , I played almost all these games and many others.
Thanks friend !! you made me NOSTALGIA

Wow! Amazing Collection
i play it, chaos wars, casual turn base, it's more easy to learn the gameplay, but a bit tricky, because you must level up all of your character, because there are some event that you must 1 v 1 enemy, and you don't have any option rather than win it, you can't level up (grinding item or leveling) when that event come.
I played 9 out of 101 Games, i guess thats something! But some look pretty interesting, even today.
gadget racers is really cool, you have to try it, i played it for ages as a kid with my cousins at my great grandmothers. it was lovely
I have played D.O.N. and Ap Escape 3 so that's good enough for me.
Some of these look good! I wonder why they went unnoticed.
Actually, my first ever COD game I ever owned was WAW: FF. Even though it’s not one of the best COD games ever, it still is a good game. Wish it at least had the Zombies game on there :/
3:17 Demon Stone OMG LOVE IT.
JUEGAZOOOOO❤❤❤❤❤😍❤😍❤😍❤😍❤😍❤😍😍❤
Dude, 1:00 i love this freaking game!!!
Out of these I own...
Ape Escape 3, Chaos Wars, and Ty
Some of these look awesome
I know it wasn't listed in will never happen, but I really want Ring of Red remade. PS2 was an awesome time to be a gamer.
Im already play some of it
Btw nice list for going back to play ot again
Hi found this video recently and I find it a bit funny that the first game i got on ps2 by my parentes was cell damage overdrive. I know that i've also played ape escape 3
0:31 nice game. Fun to play it with friends.
I've played 3 of then, and Godzilla is my favorite ps2 game ever.
I played Dino Stalker and Dead aim, i really enjoyed those.
I can confirm I hadn't even heard of most of these.
Radiata Stories is a game more people need to play.
I believe Rogue Trooper got rereleased on PS3 or PS4.
Cocoto fishing master is a terrifying game. I was scared to play it as a child cause the fish designs scare me. To this day I still feel uncomfortable with it
Hey, that side-scrolling space shooter towards the end looked pretty cool. Even though the genre is a bit dated, a good one can be fun and immersive. >blowing dust away from PS2< Amazon here I come!
Call of Duty World at War:Final Fronts is my favorite ❤
i saw 5 games that need to have com back and remastered in your list
game that i have that was unstable on the ps1 or 2
like say ,,ape escape 3 ,half life ,and 3 more that i my look in to
I played Choro Q on my emulator, loved it
YES! I love Demon Stone!
The Tokyo Xtreme Racer series should make an appearance on one of these lists.
Agreed! I 'll put it on a future video!
Specifically the Japan exclusive Racing Battle C1 Grand Prix. Probs the best installment but not a single English release exists.
Yesssss!
Bards tale, Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance (both games) Fallout: Brotherhood of steel, The Urbz Sims in the city
0:05 i play it. Good game one of the last for ps2.
Musashi Samurai Legend anyone? One of my favourites in ps2
well done! Thnx 😊
great video.. :)
I would highly recommend Radiata STories
We can some old games copied for a cheap price but lots of old games are not easy to find nowadays
pretty sure i played smash cars on a demo disc
I am at my wits end can anyone help me find this PS2 game i played so long ago at a friends house.

Dokapon kingdom was my favourite game... 🤣
No Mr. Mosquito?! That was an interesting game.
It was indeed a very interesting game! Which is why I put it on one of my earlier videos -- th-cam.com/video/zqfLerlcyJs/w-d-xo.html at 5:24
Jax X: Combat Racing was the shit, I played a lot that gane with my cousin, togheter with the Lego Batman series
100 original games compatible with xbox 360
7:16 Abyss Masterpiece

I'm more surprised that second sight or blood Will tell didnt make this list
Both excellent games, but also placed in one of my earlier videos -- th-cam.com/video/zqfLerlcyJs/w-d-xo.html
APE ESCAPE 3 😍😍😍
Ape Escape 3 was the shit!
I was truly obsessed with this game
Jak X was a lot of fun.
2:27 perfectly cut scream
"kuon" one of the best horror game on ps2
I agree! And that's why I featured it in one of my first videos way back in 2016! th-cam.com/video/N_aeYCZK9co/w-d-xo.html
Man the ps2 is fucking awesome.
Quantum of solace is really good game
Yeah but kinda short
6:08 found it!! Thx
Idk if y'all remember this I hope u do tho there was this game where this guy had a mission to go to a I think pizza place to stomp on roaches or something it's basically a violent street game can anyone remember what's it called?
"Final Fight Streetwise"
@@GaryRetroGamer dude OMG how do you have such a great memory I played that game 16 years ago thank you sm.
Can someone help me? There's a game that I can't remember the name of. All I remember, it was futuristic (kinda like F-zero?) bike racing, with a girl (or guy?) in blue on the cover art. It was before 2004 I think on the PS2
XGRA?
@@GaryRetroGamer Yes, that's the one. Thanks a bunch.
Played the italian job and wild wild racing
0:08 Ace Combat at home
Ape Escape and Jak X are considered obscure? On the other hand, I own Dragon Rage and Future Tactics...and frankly, they should have stayed obscure.

6:43 R.E. Dead Aim ohhhh ❤
For a good chunk of these you're not missing much but half life?
Wait, a Dune game already existed before the movie?
RADIATA STORY MY BOI
