If you like obscure, the Mana Series is a hidden gem. I was watching this hoping "Dawn of Mana" or maybe ".//Infection" (Dot Hack) was here. Both have a cult following, but Dot Hack as a series as a whole got a bigger name from running on Toonami. The first "Mana" game is "Secret of Mana" for the SNES, which was a sequel to "Final Fantasy Adventure" for Gameboy. Secret of Mana has Mario World colored visuals, amazing music that fits the world it's building. Chrono Trigger was created from content that had to be removed from Secret of Mana when it was intended to be a disc game. Trials of Mana was also SNES, but they didn't release it here until recent years, but I played a fan translation in High School. It is less bright and cheerful, but keeps the Action RPG thing going. Legend of Mana is aesthetically SIMILAR to Secret: but the battle system, while still ARPG, takes a direction many didn't like. It's one of my favorite games, with more skill and crafting customization of any game I've played. Sword of Mana is for GBA: It is similar to the SNES Mana games but with some crafting systems borrowed from Legend. Tied for my second favorite game (with Zoids Legacy), it's a remake of Final Fantasy Adventure: But as alike to it as Mario World is to Mario 1. Children of Mana is in the same world as Dawn of Mana for PS2 I mentioned first, but takes a dungeon crawler design to it. Dawn of Mana plays more like Kingdom Hearts, with a unique battle system. It has arguably the best story, but mechanics sometimes lack polish.
@@wolves_blade4788 Tekken 2 is actually one of my first video game memories, I was around 3-4 years old when it was introduced to me by my dad. I just rebought Spyro the Dragon for my PS1 and Tekken 2 is on the way now with Tekken 3 lol
Thank you for mentioning Spy Fiction. I bought it long ago and enjoyed the hell out of it but never heard anyone talk about it. Thankfully I still own it!
The PS2 is the best console Sony will ever have simply because there was so much experimenting and creative risk taking to produce such a deep and diverse library of games.
@@myria2834 along with ease of development" The PS2 was the hardest to develop for in the 6th gen. It was just the most popular, so devs had to deal with it.
PS4 Pro at the end of his life is much better paired with 4k HDR Sony TV with 120fps motion flow. Actually PS4 alone is much better just because Horizon Zero Down, Final Fantasy 15 and Tomb Raider 2013. If I had choice back in time whether PS4 to be launched with just those three games or PS2 with its entire catalog I would choose the PS4. Something well ahead of its time.
@@myria2834 FFX & XII better than XV? You serious, bro? X have stupid repetitive fights every few seconds and unskipable cutscenes all the way to the end. You die you watch the cutscene again. XII? It have constant difficult fights with unknown suddenly popped up enemies right in front of your nose that you can't escape from. I have both games on PS4 Pro. Those games are just not worth despite their great potential. You talking against Horizon Zero Down? That's heresy! It's the best looking game to date. I just walk around and watch on my 4k HDR Sony tv. Ive also enabled motion interpolation for 60 fps. The new TRs aren't TR actually but still for the visuals alone they are better offer than the entire catalog of PS2 except Tekken Tag 1 and DMC1. Dark Cloud dude wtf lol. I have that game too. It was on sale. I bought it just because I've always wanted to have it but back in the days I didn't have the money to get it. When I got my PS2 I was busy with other way better games. So I bought it after 2 decades to see what I've missed. That game is veeeery outdated. It's like PS1 game with visual updates. PS2s Ratchet and Clank over PS4s? You serious, bro? What are you smoking? Must be really goood. God of War 3 is better than all GOW's and PS4 have a 4k remaster. It look much better than GoW's CGs on PS2. Just imagine. And the gameplay is better also. Yakuza suffer the illness of constant and boring fights every few steps just as FFX. So you don't winning here too. Katahari Damaci never got much fame so I think that's speaking enough. I never even played that game. Okami? I have that game too. Had high expectations. On 4k and well adjusted HDR forced on the screen it looking fantastic but the game have the most crappy draw distance I've ever seen. Big things just pop up litteraly (and I mean litteraly) right in front of your nose. I didn't play Ico but still is just a boy that wondering around. Nothing special really. And the game doesn't have soundtrack. The levels are silent. And that's bad. Isn't plus. PS4 have remake of Colosus so I don't know why you pointed it out. PS2 have the outdated version. Don't try to prise 480p games over 1080/4k ones. And the PS2 games also lacking texture detail and special effects. Its like they don't have any special effects at all. Most people like you usually coming out with claims that the old games have better gameplay tho. And no. The old games doesn't offer better gameplay nor better anything. The games after 2006 are made by statistics gathered by spying on the players. The companies spied to see what gamers like and don't like so they've bet on the middle in between to satisfy everyone. Well no one can satisfy everyone but God, the games after 2006 are TOTALLY different than those before. So you better forget about PS2. It died in year 2008. Sadly we most probably won't see such a brake forward in the near future just as we saw it between 2006-2009.
I'd like to try Cy Girls, looks fun. Spy Fiction too. Dang shame Darkwatch didn't sell well, but Evil West is coming soon. So, we've got that to look forward to. Galerians Ash is another PS2 exclusive no one seems to mention. Sucks we didn't get Fear Effect 3 on PS2 either. Wouldn't mind seeing a new Shinobi like the PS2 game as well.
I have a lot and they are some of my favorites. Like Kessen, Gungriffon Blaze, Oni, Eternal Ring and several others. It seems like no one ever discussed many of them. But ps2 did have so many games. I have some on original Xbox though like Darkwatch.
I literally just finished an Austin Eruption marathon where he talked about Cy Girls (among many other games). It looks pretty cool, and honestly, if it has a decent story, I am one of those hardcore gamers who will gladly sit through a bad game, both because there often are aspects of it I do enjoy, but also to see if I can conquer its bs.
Few more suggestions: * Extermination: Nice very early ps2 game, an obscure survival horror game (dino crisis + metal gear solid) * X-Files: Resist or serve: Another obscure yet great survival horror game (reminiscent to Alan wake) * Metal slug 3D (2006) * Ghosthunter: Nice survival horror kinda action game, from the creators of Medievil, the atmosphere is top tier
Eternal Ring, The Bouncer, Summoner, and Orphan are games that I really loved on the PS2 but just never seem to hear anyone talking about. Bouncer gets some bad press occasionally, but I actually enjoyed it and the originality behind it. All really fun game even if they weren't perfect.
Showing Darkwatch at the end was a perfect way to end the video. I just recently replayed it for the first time since it first came out and it was still an absolute blast. High recommend.

Dark watch is a game ive always wanted for the ps2, it never shows up at a used game store ive frequented for decades which tells me its a definite keeper.
The first time I tried Chaos Legion I got almost no where before quitting and shelving the game. I went back to it years later and easily ran through the game. Maybe it was the extra gaming experience, or maybe it was because I wasn't playing 5+ other games during the second attempt so I was focused. I really enjoyed Dark watch, but sadly never finished it. I don't remember if I hit a point I couldn't get by or if it just got pushed out of rotation by newer games.
So many games I haven't heard of. Thank you for your videos. It really gives people new (old) games to play. It's incredible. Having a PS2 with internal hard drive is fantastic for playing these titles.
Not gonna lie! Mid video I kept wondering if I've ever mentioned Darkwatch. And yes it's a surprisingly underrated title, and it shouldn't be all these years later. Given I still remember G4Tv pushing it hard at 1 point. I feel like 2005 just slaughtered its chances in getting any casual player interest. When all we probably remember 2005 for is Resident Evil 4, God of War, Devil May Cry 3, Ninja Gaiden Black, Chaos Theory, GTA San Andreas, Shadow of the Colossus, Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow, Tekken 5, Psychonauts, Dragon Quest 8 and Need for Speed Most Wanted. if any titles were gonna get the hidden gem treatment that year. I'd probably guess Trauma Center or Sonic Rush
Wow, this was a throwback at titles I remember seeing in magazines, but missed out on! Spy Fiction I remember seeing at the store often and always looked interesting. I’m going to have to nab that one soon. Cy Girls I remember not scoring well, but I really liked what I saw in this video! Chaos Legion is another I’ve always wanted to try, and sounds about right in line with what I’ve heard of it. Great video as always man!
XII Stag was only published by Taito. It was actually developed by Triangle Service, which is why it's flavor is so different from Taito's in-house stg franchises.
Absolutely love your videos. I remember playing Darkwatch back in the day. It was my favorite shooter (with Area 51) on PS2. Great vids man! I'm discovering great hidden gems thanks to your channel.
Man this video is filled to the brim with true hidden gems! Of all those games the first one, the RPG car game and that FPS at the end are the only ones I've ever heard of and played before, awesome picks dude😀 Wish you the best bro and stay safe👍
Nice to see someone talk about crash n’burn. It is so cool how the debris plays part of the gameplay. I love it. Another amazing racing game on ps2 is Smash Cars.
Darkwatch it's pretty challenging. It could be released again, remastered with better resolution / framerates on Steam and consoles. I still play it sometimes.
Darkwatch was my favorite game in ps2 (side to side with ffxii) i played it so many times with my cousin (YEAH, THE GAME HAS LOCAL MULTIPLAYER), GLAD TO SEE IT GETING SOME WELL DESERVED LOVE HERE,
I rented darkwatch from blockbuster Bank when it was a new game. I thought the idea of it was ridiculous back then but later wanted to play it seriously again. I need to find it again.
@@thatvideogamesshow yes great game in general. The graphics are absolutely insane for 3ds. You should make a vid about amazing visuals on 3ds and here's some underrated games with them: Spider-Man edge of time Ridge racer 3D (I released an album based on it) Captain toad Airracer xeno Attack on titan Labyrinth no kanata
Most of the games you uploaded are not from my gen but I really am interested to play them, so thank you for uploading these types of videos, I get to play old games and I enjoy them so thank you.
worth noting that spy fiction was rewritten and dubbed for its international release in a pretty haphazard way. the japanese release had english voice acting too, but I guess the publishers were absolutely convinced it needed "fixing" to sell better... probably don't need to tell you the japanese version has a more coherent and actually interesting story :P in fact it's written by swery of deadly premonition fame! I think it's one of the most enjoyable parts, so I definitely recommend that version specifically to swery fans.
You probably get this alot but THANK YOU SOOOOOO FREAKING MUCH i remember as a kid renting and beating eve of extinction and loving it so much for the addictive gameplay i forgot the name and could never find it
Shin megami tensei 3: nocturne (featuring Dante from devil may cry series) is a great classic but Digital Devil Saga duology would be an underrated classic
Road Trip or Chrono series in general is so fun to play PS2 is just full of games begging for people to give them a chance games like... Dropship, Air Force Delta Strike, ChronoQ, MS Saga , Metal Saga
Haven call of the king was the first thing that popped in my head as a decent game that iv never heard anyone talk about xD primal is another one thatd do amazing if it got a remake
Skate attack looks like a skateboard version of Jet Set Radio? The graphics and HUD has the same style and elements of the Shibuya level looks very much the same.
I'm still working on my 38 games PS2 game collection so far I have. BLACK (PS2) Capcom Classic Collection vol.1 (PS2) Capcom Classic Collection vol.2 (PS2) Crash Bandicoot 2 Cortex Strikes Back (PS1) Devil May Cry 1 2 and 3 (PS2) Dynasty Warriors 4 (PS2) ESPN College hoops 2K5 (PS2) ESPN NFL 2K5 (PS2) Fight Night 2004 (PS2) Fight Night Round 2 (PS2) God Of War (PS2) God Of War II (PS2) Grand Theft Auto III (PS2) Grand Theft Auto Vice City (PS2) Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (PS2) HitMan Blood Money (PS2) HitMan 2 Silent Assassin (PS2) Jet LI RISE TO HONOR (PS2) MADDEN 07 (PS2) Mercenaries (PS2) Marvel V.S.

I’d definitely cop Cy Girls and Spy Fiction. Ps: Cy Girls reminds me of flash game that I used to play on pc that was reminiscent of Light Gun shooters,
My boy Darkwatch! Loved that game (still have it). It was a better Blood 2 than the godawful Blood 2 we ended up getting. Too bad the planned Darkwatch sequel was canned, but at least Evil West seems to be somewhat similar in tone.
I would like to add the game magical pengal for ps2 it's bright colorful and allows you to draw anything and that drawing comes to life and you can fight pokemon style with those drawings it's pretty unique

Another great video, does anyone know the music playing during the outro?
CHAOS LEGION AND DARKWATCH ARE UNDERRATED AF.
I’ll second that!
Shout out for using the song Crystal Method from Blur, a car Mario Cart style game in and of itself.
Such a track!
awesome list, time to update my collection, thanks
Thanks for watching!
My Boy do i hear Mega Man Star Force tunes there. I cry tiers of joy
Good ear!
Thanks for showing these games I'm gonna add them to my collection
Glad you found something new!
What's the music on the end of the video. So good. Loved to discover mad maestro . Thanks a lot
No body talk for Tekken Tag 1. That game had the best visuals until 2006 and is the best fighting game still to this day.
Haven call of the king was the first thing that popped in my head as a decent game that iv never heard anyone talk about xD primal is another one thatd do amazing if it got a remake
I loved Eve of Extinction when I was a kid.
I never hear anyone talk about Trapt on these lists. It's part of the Deception series by Tecmo.
Skate attack looks like a skateboard version of Jet Set Radio? The graphics and HUD has the same style and elements of the Shibuya level looks very much the same.
Eve of extinction--- omg thanks i have been looking for this for months... even AI could not help...
Spy Fiction isn't bad, though a bit clunky. But man oh man, I loved Darkwatch.

I’d definitely cop Cy Girls and Spy Fiction.
Ps: Cy Girls reminds me of flash game that I used to play on pc that was reminiscent of Light Gun shooters,
My boy Darkwatch! Loved that game (still have it). It was a better Blood 2 than the godawful Blood 2 we ended up getting. Too bad the planned Darkwatch sequel was canned, but at least Evil West seems to be somewhat similar in tone.
Would love to see it make a comeback!
dont forget "Demon Chaos". Or, how I call it, "WTF BOOM: the game"
Thanks to your video I picked up crash n burn
Did Road Trip have the first Car Soccer Mini Games? Wonder if it inspired some major game that I cant seem to remember...
Great video my man 👍🏿❤️
Great Channel
Is all about the games
Ah yes, Metroid Prime, my favourite PS2 game!
@@ChaossX77 Below the description it says he's it's featured lol. Don't know about mobile but it does on PC.
You should keep making these videos. Ps2 emulation is going to soar in popularity as gaming gets worse.
Take a shot every time a vintage game involves the main characters loved one getting kidnapped
Always a prealusre to watch a new video!!
Thanks Leonardo!
Enjoyed this video. Need to find Skate Attack!
Glad you found something new!
I would like to add the game magical pengal for ps2 it's bright colorful and allows you to draw anything and that drawing comes to life and you can fight pokemon style with those drawings it's pretty unique
Is that The Crystal Method that I'm hearing in the Crash n' Burn clip?
Skate attack looks cool I wanna try it
I think Chaos Legion got overshadowed by Devil May Cry popularity. But that game still very good 👍👍👍
I’ll second that!
I loved Road Trip!
Finally someone noticed Eve of extinction
12:48 "total avoidance gameplay" Take a hint Ubisoft, putting mandatory slugfests in stealth games.
nice selection top
Thanks!
Great list!!
Thanks!
Never hear of Skate Attack reminds me of Jet Set Radio
There's a reason we don't talk about Mad Maestro 😂
I haven't played darkwatch yet but it looks interesting.
Such a solid game, it’s well worth giving a go!
What's the song you play at the beginning?
