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!
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.
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
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...
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
@@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.
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.
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.
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
@@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. :-)
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
... 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)
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.
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.
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
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 :/
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
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!
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
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 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
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?
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.

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
This has quickly became a favorite channel of mine, awesome work as always
2:25 the cut is just perfect lol
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.
As a fan of PS2 this is the best channel that I can relate about it, I subscribed you.
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.
Thank you for bringing up memories I've completely forgotten about
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
Actually D.O.N is really popular in my country, Indonesia.
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.

Majority still holds well. Ignition is always on the shelf...
Great Vid. Tyco Rc and Battalion Wars should've been on here. I'm sure barely anyone remembers playing those lol
Even Quantum Solace PS2 version is really good, 007 franchise is always good in every aspect.
I stell remind that game
That game fun but kinda short
Oh boy if you think that one is good and you havent played everything or nothing, youve missed out.
thanks to you I have found many hidden gems for PS2 thank you
Lots of brilliant games again. loved splashdown. Not played a lot of the games on this list
*100 reasons to play again Playstation²*
Congrats on the video
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.
Shadow Tower Abyss and Wizardry games... those are great titles.
You forgot Carwash Tycoon. A true hidden gem.
Man that game is bullshit. Another crappy not even fun game :-/
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
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. :-)
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
I WAS LOOKING FOREVER FOR FUTURE TACTICS, THANK GOODNESS for GARY.
pitfall and ty the tasmiania tiger was my childhood those games so underrated
I remember some of these games, old times...old times...
3:36 Fugitive Hunter😍😍😍
Dude, 1:00 i love this freaking game!!!
Some of these look good! I wonder why they went unnoticed.
... 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)
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.
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.
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 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.
Im already play some of it
Btw nice list for going back to play ot again
Wow! Amazing Collection
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
I have played D.O.N. and Ap Escape 3 so that's good enough for me.
I played 9 out of 101 Games, i guess thats something! But some look pretty interesting, even today.
Some of these look awesome
I can confirm I hadn't even heard of most of these.
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 :/
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.
Out of these I own...
Ape Escape 3, Chaos Wars, and Ty
3:17 Demon Stone OMG LOVE IT.
JUEGAZOOOOO❤❤❤❤❤😍❤😍❤😍❤😍❤😍❤😍😍❤
i saw 5 games that need to have com back and remastered in your list

like say ,,ape escape 3 ,half life ,and 3 more that i my look in to
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
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!

0:31 nice game. Fun to play it with friends.
I played Dino Stalker and Dead aim, i really enjoyed those.
Radiata Stories is a game more people need to play.
I believe Rogue Trooper got rereleased on PS3 or PS4.
Call of Duty World at War:Final Fronts is my favorite ❤
0:05 i play it. Good game one of the last for ps2.
I've played 3 of then, and Godzilla is my favorite ps2 game ever.
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.

7:16 Abyss Masterpiece
I played Choro Q on my emulator, loved it
2:27 perfectly cut scream
100 original games compatible with xbox 360
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.
Musashi Samurai Legend anyone? One of my favourites in ps2
Ape Escape 3 was the shit!
I was truly obsessed with this game

For a good chunk of these you're not missing much but half life?
Bards tale, Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance (both games) Fallout: Brotherhood of steel, The Urbz Sims in the city
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
pretty sure i played smash cars on a demo disc
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.
Wait, a Dune game already existed before the movie?
I would highly recommend Radiata STories
YES! I love Demon Stone!
We can some old games copied for a cheap price but lots of old games are not easy to find nowadays
well done! Thnx 😊
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
0:08 Ace Combat at home
Dokapon kingdom was my favourite game... 🤣
Jak X was a lot of fun.
"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
Jax X: Combat Racing was the shit, I played a lot that gane with my cousin, togheter with the Lego Batman series
APE ESCAPE 3 😍😍😍
Played the italian job and wild wild racing
great video.. :)
6:43 R.E. Dead Aim ohhhh ❤
8:55 wtf
Quantum of solace is really good game
Yeah but kinda short
Why Is Godzilla on this list?
i have Dragonball One piece Naruto (D.O.N)
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.

Man the ps2 is fucking awesome.
RADIATA STORY MY BOI
