"Devil Will Cry When they Ride the Ghost of War"
Hey, it's not everyday a game developer copies the best concepts of top-tier action games and do it well. Kudos to Climax for delivering despite the roadblocks.
Gotta check it out! PS2 got a lot of hidden gems. Also, you can play Ghost Rider in the Marvel Ultimate Alliance. He's even in the cover of that game!
@@MemeLordCthulhu 100% agree. Ghost Rider in this game would slap all the heroes in MUA, any day fo sho!
I still unironically love this game. It's pretty solid. Now if only he could get a new game someday. Also the first area battle theme is amazing
should have been the main battle theme for the whole game
Yeah i could see Ghost Rider getting a new game in an open world game inspired by those legendary Spider-Man games and such, the idea of calling in the bike as a means of traversal either on the ground, walls, etc to using it in combat, basically kinda like what Batman Arkham Knight did with the Batmobile but with way more options to get around and speed, also of course the combat to be Devil May Cry like with some God of War in there as well, like the last game and only officially released game released at this time.
The entire soundtrack is great imo
@@THEmeepmopmoop true it definitely gives those DMC vibes. 😀
@@bobafett4265 You know
IT could really be incredible if it had a Nemesis system like the one from Shadow of Mordor/War
I used to work at a used game/dvd store in Houston and one of my coworkers got a knife pulled on them and the only thing the robber stole was this game. I know it's hard to believe but it's very true. Luckily my friend was ok and the suspect was caught pretty quickly.
The type of guy that would get a penance stare in real life
dude that was nicolas cage
That dude must have loved this game the way i loved it as a youngster.
If the only way I could play this game was rob someone at knife point, I’d have to take a long look at the gameplay and try and talk myself down
I know that friend
One thing you missed is how with each different skin for Ghost Rider, his bike changes to fit said skin.
Classic Ghost Rider's bike has a retro look, 2099's bike look similar to the one from the comics as much as possible, Vengeance's bike looks more demonic. Blade's bike is just normal.
Man, I absolutely loved this game when I was kid on the PS2.
I remember the game having a shit ton of extras like concept arts, comics and even test like levels where you could fuck around in the bike.
And the atmosphere, oh man, it ignited my early love for creepy and dark stuff. So fun to play.
You're innocent
I had the GBA version when I was a kid. It was fine for what it was.
Man, the Ghost RIder game wss rad as hell, and had to reason to be, but it tried, and I give it that. The fact that they got Blade in here, and he plays decently is a testament to their effort, but Fred Tatasciore voicing him certainly was... a choice. Speaking of the cast, Liam O'brien did a pretty good Cage impression, plus getting Steve Blum, Robin Atkin Downes, Kirk Thornton, Lex Lang and Dave Wittenberg, who all voiced major edgelords at the time, to be in a full cast of them was a pretty good choice. Knowing the market now, another solo title isn't happening, but a Midnight Sons team, with GR as a lead, that we can hope.
well well well
This was my first Devil May Cry game and I played it on PSP, fight me.
Ok u suck
@@lituru Thanks so do you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hey if this put u on dmc just means u were succesful in bettering your taste in hell action stuff
@@armorwolf7934 I never thought I’d see someone so passionate about the Ghost Rider PS2 game lol
@@deadlyninja112 it did! Albeit the first game I played in the DMC series was 4 which was great! I went back to the trilogy before 5 came out too which was cool!
You skipped the scene were Johnny Blaze holds Roxanne and says:
*I should've been the one to fill your dark soul with LiiiIIIIiGGggHhT*
Looking at this game makes me wish that Platinum Games could make a cool Ghost Rider character action game or even other Marvel characters.
@@isinganddootherthings4616 I agree and I dont dont even like platinum
The one thing I always felt Dmc was missing was most definitely Nicolas Cage .
I always wanted Frank West to ask Ghost Rider in UMVC3 if he could be a Ghost rider too. Then GR would say, “Hell no. There’s already a Frank.”
that "RoxaAaAne' XD
Seeing Ghost Rider just ragdoll after crashing his bike is hilarious.
There's a cutscene in the desert town where ghost rider uses his head to light a stick of dynamite to get past a barrier and continue to the next level when playing as blade he gets the same animation in the cutscene just using his vampiric naps to light sticks of dynamite on fire
About time someone made a review of this game that didn’t come out in 140p
This looks pretty fun actually! Van Helsing on the PS2/Xbox is super similar- also heavily inspired by Devil May Cry, also based on a big-budget film property, also a fun B-tier character action game.
The time has come and so have I
YEESSS! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR MONTHS!
I am so glad that this game is getting some recognition.
I remember getting pretty far in this game on my ps2 back when I was 9. I got back from a school and played through a lot in one sitting. But then we had a power outage while the game was saving and the save file got corrupted. I never touched Ghost Rider for the PS2 again.
But seeing how good this was, I'm gonna try it again
I had a choice between this and Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles 2 when I was 10. I chose chronicles and I kinda, sorta regret it. Chronicles has a coop mode at least and it feels like playing through a well made filler arc.
Loved this back in the day, its no DMC but its a ton of fun and captures the character well, also its sweet as fuck that Blade was an unlockable character.
ah, I remember this game on psp. It played like gow & dante's inferno, good times
The GBA version had some surprisingly good music!
I received this game (PS2 Version) for Xmas/Birthday, and while I wasn't a fan of some of the components I actually did like the game! It was short enough to not overstay it's welcome, and I remember playing through it a few times and collecting all those different unlockables. Blade was so fun!
wow, fantastic developer insight on this episode. Great work!
Matt McMuscles, please do a Hero or Zero review on Superman Returns: The Video Game, because that game on certain gaming platforms like PS2 or Xbox 360 is absolute garbage af.
Ok 1, we need a Punisher-like game for The Boys.
2, why don't more people talk about the Punisher game? It was one of the few good comic license games back in the day!
The second I saw those GBA sprites In this video I ordered it. The Ps2 version had me adding to cart at “playable Blade”. Thank you for making this Matt.
honestly this game was worth it for some of the concept art you unlock in the galleries love all the demons and stuff theres one of blackheart in a trench coat that i thought was the dopest thing when i was a kid, havent been able to find the galleries on youtube at all.
and an actual blackheart fight,
not sure if anyone played it but the van helsing tie in has a similar feel.
hopefully now that blade is getting a reboot we get ghostrider with it, would love a series of him riding from town to town sussing out local myths, cults and hauntings.
idk something like a mix of the witcher and red dead undead nightmare roaming from western small town to town would be fun,
Blade was pretty much the Belmont mode for Ghost Rider.
I loved this game back in the day. It was one of my favorites growing up, and might have been the first game I've ever finished on my own. Watching this gave me flash backs thank you for this video.
The thing that bugged me about the game was how short Ghost Rider's chain was. I expected it to have a much longer reach.
Probably to avoid looking even more similar to God Of War than it already was.
Nice touch with the Metal Slug music, Matt!
I think i played this at launch unknowingly? I played it when i was like 6 and i found it on a shelf in my local game store, loved the game as a kid cause ghost rider was my favorite marvel hero at the time, i never knew the GBA counterpart was good either. Man, We REALLY need a new ghost rider game
I remember really enjoying this game as a kid. I still do actually. I love the freaky atmosphere and environments, and the combat is pretty damn fun.
I really liked the GBA version.
Another licensed game that got the Devil May Cry clone treatment was Van Helsing.
Yeah! And tbh, it wasn't a bad game neither, i had so much fun with it back in the day, and for a movie with a low budget, but lots of love, it was worth it!
Van Helsing was exactly what I was thinking of while I watched this.
So this game gave us Must Style mode? Neat.
Turok Evolution, Shadow Man, Hellboy: The Science of Evil, Superman Returns, The Fantastic Four games, Batman Rise of Sin Tzu, Spawn Armageddon, Wanted Weapons of Fate and maybe a power rangers game or something. Those are games I would love to see you do next.
imma be honest. I love this game to this day. i recently just played through it once more and felt like a kid again. ghost rider was always my favorite Marvel hero as a kid and still holds up to this day in my opinion.
Should probably check out Van Helsing for ps2.
It's another surprisingly solid Devil May Cry clone but with a focus more on guns than melee.
The game glitched hard on me in the final fight like dracula just showed up for 30 seconds and then I suddenly just kinda won I guess.
I remember loving this game in the PS2 era, it was a pretty fun game actually
22:45 why is his name C U M
“CUM shot Lili” LMAO
I was about to comment this exact same thing
I freaking love this game. One of the few games i went out of my way to find and not hesitate when i found it locally. The cut Wolverine cameo with lighting his cigar would have been so badass
I was having doubts that the PS2 Ghost Rider game wasn't just some fever dream from my childhood. Never mind it being competent lol
You know what, I thought I was just a kid who liked spooky flaming skull-man with no point of reference and that's why I liked this game. But watching this review and seeing the awesome animations and combos and particle effects, how the fuck does one not like this game? It's no wonder I fucking loved it.
Spawn Armageddon!!! Please. Also, great video, I LOVE THIS GAME
Honestly just clicking on random videos of yours. So first I saw Nanobreaker, and the hilarity of the video sold me. Now Ghost Rider, lol. Off to Amazon or wherever to find a copy. Thx Matt. Subscribed!
Loved this game from back then but it was too short. Also felt that Blackheart as the final boss was neat but rushed. It also had alot of combat moments that just dragged to much. I can remember a certain portion where I spammed the dive kick just to survive. But you know this was still leaps better than Thor or any of the Iron Man games. When I played Riddler courses in Arkham Knight they REALLY remind of this game's bike sections.
Castlevania music in the review of the game based on one of my favourite comic book characters?! (movie doesn't count)
YES PLEASE
I loved this game so much, especially the motorcycle levels. The bosses may have been repetitive, but everything else was so fun. I played the PS2 version and I guess you could say it was my introduction to God of War style games.
Ghost Rider + God of War= Pure Awesomeness
Love the new intro Dude
Is this a new show/series?
Yup. He started with Batman Begins a few months ago. This is the second video in the series.
@@Riggs_The_Roadie I must've missed it!
wow i would have never given this game the time of day without this video! I love DMC games so hell yea this looks fun!
With how good this turned out despite all the development problems, we need another Ghost Rider game without the restrictions. Preferably one made by a team like Platinum Games and with a band like Carnifex doing the soundtrack.
I mean seriously, just listen to "Hell Chose Me" and tell me it wouldn't perfectly fit Ghost Rider tearing through a wave of enemies Metal Gear Rising style.
Hey Matt these Hero or Zero videos don't get as much attention as the What Happened ones, but I wanted to say that I've really liked them. They are excellent and I find them very fun and informative. Please continue doing them.
I remember renting the ps2 version and loved it so much that I bought it on the psp and beat it again. This said psp version is responsible for breaking my psp's right trigger because I was spamming the fully upgraded shotgun during a second playthrough.
So when I was 10 (or 11. This was years ago), I had a choice while visiting family in a different state to get either this or Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles 2. I chose Uzumaki chronicles because I was a huge fan of the show and I’m a sucker for that shit. Looking back, I kinda regret not having gotten Ghost Rider. That’s still one of my favorite cheesy ass films and being a young ass kid, it would’ve been a great introduction into the hack and slash genre. I should try finding a copy online tbh.
As someone who just watched both ghost rider movies mere days ago, I can appreciate this.
Both this game and Spawn Armageddon were good games in my opinion. They needed just a bit more polish but overall for what we got they were sufficient.
I remember playing this when I was 12, I was super into h&s games (still am big time) after playing DMC4 on pc and GOW2 a friend recommended Ghost Rider to me and I LOVED IT, I never bought a PS3 so having it on PS2 I played the shit out of this, I absolutely adored those motorcycle missions I replayed them until I could play them with eyes closed... damn, simpler times bavk then, haha
This game is so good! I loved it as a kid and still do it's pretty fun and it's a shame that more people didn't get to play this classic.
There were games being released on the PS2 for a surprising amount of years after the PS3's release. Some quick research shows that one of the last games to be released on the PS2 in North America was FIFA Soccer '13... Yes... in 2012, when we were just a year away from the release of the Xbox One and the PS4, the PS2 FINALLY got it's last game in North America. It's last game ever released was the PAL-only FIFA '14: Legacy Edition, released in September 2013, less than two months before the release of the PS4.
Cool video. I've been re-playing this game, and it's pretty good. As a matter of fact, I find it underrated.
Here are some requests for future Hero or Zero episodes/videos:
- Superman Returns: The Video Game
- Superman: The Man of Steel for the original Xbox
- Batman: Vengeance
- Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu
- Justice League: Heroes
- Iron Man and X-O Manowar in Heavy Metal
- Hulk (The one based on Ang Lee's Hulk film adaptation)
I had this game for PSP as a kid and legitimately loved it. The PSP version was kinda watered down from the PS2 version but it didn't stop me from sinking hours into it
Hot dam! The memories, maaaan.
I used to play this game over and over again, still one of my favorite hidden gems on the PS2.
The ghostrider game was one of the best games I played growing up. I didn't get a ps2 till 2006ish and this was one of the best games in my library. I was only like 8 years old so it was either that or every single smackdown vs raw game for the system. I have got a few gems in recent years like disgaea but for the most part I didn't have quality games for my ps2 so ghostrider was a fresh of breath air. I also was just a huge fanboy for ghostrider and silver surfer growing up, coping old comics for super cheap from one of the local stores.
Like, damn, that GBA game looking SUPER CLEAN.
Everytime Ghost Rider live action comes up I'm glad Robbie Reyes exists.
Ghost rider is just such a badass looking character! It's similar to the skull knight in berserk. Love that kind of skeleton character! Man, the old caretaker, the horse ghost rider with Sam Elliott was absolutely dope!
Also, I'd probably put Martian manhunter at A tier or higher! Love him! He's not quite as popular as the others, but man I love him! He's awesome, man! Same with black canary 😅😁👌🏻
I adored this game as a kid... especially since I loved God of War, and it reminded me of that! :D
Hearing you talk about how janky the bike sections were makes me feel so seen, I knew it wasn’t my fault it took me like a half hour each to beat some of those
I just ordered it on ebay thanks to this video. I never knew this game was good. I feel bad for missing it because I loved the movie and played the hell out of ps2.
I still have this from when got it with my ps2 during 2007 as my first game and i still love it
This was probably my favorite ps2 game when I was little. I remember it being hard as hell but so rewarding when I finally beat the levels. I remember really liking when Blade shows up and you're on the train or chasing the train. I also remember the carnival level and final boss. For me the hardest sections was the third world. It was the one in the water plant or something like that. Can't remember what the enemies were but I remember absolutely hating that level. Ironically though that boss fight on the motor cycle at the end of the level is my favorite part of the whole game.
Ghost Rider needs more games
Now Matt, don't think you can use Prince of Persia music in this video without me noticing =) (Man those games had some great tracks)
Great video though and I actually played this back when it came out, not because I knew anything about Ghost Rider but more because I didn't get a PS3 until 2011 (and a PS2 in 2005) so I was really making use of that PS2 library XD I always enjoyed this game though, obviously not as much as some other action games but I was still quite fond of it.
Would love to see Capcom or maybe FromSoftware to make a Ghost Rider game based off of the midnight sons story. GR, Johnny Blaze (human with the hellfire shotgun but would def go with the OG GR look maybe as a secret character/skin), Vengeance, Blade, Morbius, Doctor Strange, a few others.
I'd say platinum games should be the ones to do it. They'd make a killer Ghost rider game.
this game is one of my favorite tie-in character action alongside Van Helsing in ps2,so the budget reduce and it was supposed to be a standlone game kinda reminds me of X-men origins game that was supposed to be it's own thing before fox came in.And killing enemy by reaching a certain Rank is pretty cool if DMC want to implemented it [the last time they used is on DmC Definite Edition].And it's mindblowing that this game ALMOST inspired DMC on chevalier,man Climax truly deserve a chance to make this but more refined.
Holy shit, the Blade inclusion is brilliant!
Every time I think about this game the phrase "better than it has any right to be" comes to mind. Based on the recent goofy and fun if mediocre movie that came out around the same time, copying a lot of other popular games, not many original ideas in its head, kinda janky vehicle sections...but i still fucking love it.
My favorite thing from this game was getting up to the highest style rank and just walking around with a blue-enflamed head
I remember absolutely loving this game back then and i played it before i ever touched dmc or god of war so it just had more of an impact on me
I now get the family echo reference 🤣🤣🤣
I played through this more than I should have. Like I think I did 4 full playthroughs
Legit, this game needs a remake or a re-relase
Never could get past the first level as a kid but i always loved the motorcycle section and loved to play it. Lost it at some point when i was little but i might pick it up again if i can find it
This was my childhood, I remember liking it so much I got the psp version even though I had the ps2 version already.
I loved this game so much, Ghost Rider grunts are kept in my mind, cus i used to spam a move so much lmao
I FUCKING LOVED THIS GAME! I had no idea it went through literal development hell though. I cant believe they thought of adding Ghosty's bike into the combat sections! Even Wolverine was gonna be in the game? OMG that's just.....I'm sorry, I'm geeking out super hard. Like I believed the game was perfect before but holy shit, could it have been better! Many thanks to you Matt for covering such a heroic game!
This game was one of the handful of ps2 titles that I grew up playing and remember fondly
This game brings back a lot of memories, I loved it when I was a kid
I liked the Ghost Rider movie when I was a kid and I LOVED this game back then, my biggest issue was always the bike levels but even then I loved riding the motorcycle as Ghost Rider
Is this a new series? coz if it is i've dropped a like... awesome
Holy fuck thats where vengeance got that design? I had the toy but he 100% wasnt in the film and i was always so confused that he looked so different
Scrapin at tha door!
I still love this game. It’s so much better than the movie. I mean it’s not a long game and not perfect, but for an almost arcade style beat ‘em up it’s a hell of a lot of fun
This brings me back
16:05 Tbh, that's not a bad impression at all.
All this Fire, Chains and Heck makes me wanna play Brutal Legend again.
Ghost rider ps2 is one of my favorite games from when I was a little kid
Some suggestions for you Matt:
Accalaim's Fantastic Four (PSX)
Superman: Shadow of Apokolips (PS2/GCN)
Marvel Heroes (PC) (Honestly this game is great Wha Happun Material. Though no longer playable with the servers down. Also one of my favorites)
Batman The Brave and The Bold (Wii)
