Dark Cloud 2 was one of the best for games on the ps2. It had weapon customization, city building, combat mechs, and even a fun golf minigame.
Dark Chronicle for people outside the US
I spend over 100+ hours in that game. Love it.
Strongly agreed
Too true. Both Dark Cloud games deserve a remaster.
SSX Tricky was an amazing Game from the soundtrack, getting higher and lower. When you're doing an Uber trick to the Uber tricks themselves. It's all in all, just super fun
Interesting fact, one of the writers for Alien Isolation was Dan Abnett. If you know, you know. And Jules will certainly know.
It's not often I see his name without "& Andy Lanning."
Shadow of Rome was one of the best PS2 games few people I know have heard of. You played as a Gladiator in the arena for most of the game. It was all about the blood sport and appeasing the crowd by cheering after doing something new. New things included cutting off one arm, cutting off both, cutting off the head, cutting them in half, or my favorite cutting both arms off and then in half. You could throw heads into the crowd which they loved you for. Seriously a phenomenal game. But, and there it a but. All that sweet combat was punctuated by infrequent sneaking missions.
OMG YESSSSSS! Some of my favourite moments from the PS2 era come from that game
For my money it has to be Def Jam FFNY. It had incredibly deep fighting mechanics, an incredible soundtrack, amazing visuals for the time, an engrossing story. I feel like it really goes underrated and deserves a spot as one of the greatest fighting games of all time.
Hell yeah! It’s still in my top 5 games of all time!
Def Jam FFNY didn't get terrible reviews tho?
@@AJ24773 I was commenting for the greatest PS2 games of all time!
@@AJ24773 for next weeks vid, suggestions of best ps2 games 👍🏼
@ChristopherBELLOMY I agree, I just don't believe the game is underrated. It was big back in the day and we still play it today.
My all time favourite game is DefJam2: Fight for NY! It’s the reason I still have my ps2 hooked to my tv!
Im jealous. Who thought Def Jam FFNY would be the last great of its type... i mean come on. I loved it all. The combat, cheesey story and most of all, customisation and co-op.
I had a whole house of players growing up.
Like 5 of us!! 🎉🎉🎉
@@QueenStizzleif I would’ve known then I would’ve kept my copy and my PS2
Dunno if it has to be PS2 exclusives but "Urban Chaos : Riot Response", an amazing FPS that pushed the PS2 beyond what I thought was possible and ran smooth as. Utterly brutal game that encouraged you to replay and replay to get the medals and unlock more weapons, an idea not uncommon now but I don't remember seeing before (at least for a single player game)
Shadow Hearts was an amazing JRPG with a unique combat system in the Judgement Ring. Its 'real world' setting with dark monsters and awesome characters made it a joy to play.
Terminator Resistent is pretty fun!
I'd also mention:
Elex, Steelrising, Dune 2000, Hellpoint, Armies of Exigo, War Front: Turning Point, ParaWorld, Silverfall, Vampyr
Of Orcs and Men, LotR: War of the Ring, Viking: Battle for Asgard, LotR: War in the North, Remember Me.
Test drive Eve of Destruction was one of the best games for the PS2 in my eyes. The variations of demolition racing in that game coupled with the graphics that it had, and extremely tight controls made it one really good game to play both solo and with a friend.
was expecting Jules, and was greeted by a warming accent, nice to meet you nathan
He lacks the charm and charisma of jules tho. Hopefully he finds his own rhythm 🙏
Where is days gone?!
Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy is a hidden PS2 gem that needs to be talked about more.
Ryse is to Xbox as Order 1886 is to PS
Actually both were good games sooo yea
Damn, hit the list off hot with my personal favorite panned games! Good on ya!
Dredd Vs Death & the Kane and Lynch games are brilliant. The videogame equivalent to popcorn cinema. It's nae going to earn art wards but it's a great game that's aware that they're games.
My all time favorite ps2 game was Castlevania: curse of darkness. The music was fantastic, isaac was a frustrating yet fulfilling nemesis, the innocent devil evolution tree using crystals obtained from different weapons was great. And the weapon crafting system itself was incredibly vast and fun for it's time, not to mention all the fun easter eggs involved in it's multiple levels.
The PS2 is the bestselling console of all time with a huge library of games. Here are but a few of my favourites: Ghost Recon Jungle Storm, Tony Hawk's Underground 2, Dynasty Warriors 4 and Genji.
Respect some of the out there takes that we don't typically see. I remember playing knack the first time, I got it for free with the system and didn't expect much and was happily surprised
MGS3 was a definite highlight of the PS2. I’m really looking forward to its remake
PS2 had some good ones but Tekken Tag, Everquest Online Adventures, Dynasty Warriors 3 and Syphon Filter The Omega Strain were some of my favorites. I really wish they would remake Syphon Filter The Omega Strain for current gen. The 4 player online co-op was a lot of fun.
Predator Concrete Jungle. There was quite a few Alien games and AVP games back in the day but being a big Predator fan this was a rare and big find for myself.
Best PS2 game, was one of the best games across consoles for that generation. Tony Hawk's Underground. Such a great change in the game by making it a story-based skateboarding game.
For best PS2 game, I nominate Champions: Return to Arms. With all the character customization options, expansive weapon choices and the way you can use the different classes work friends to absolutely wreck enemies, it gave unlimited fun! Then there's the way the water reacted - far ahead of it's time.
I didn't understand a word of what you said through that accent but I watched the whole thing. Well done.
Hey, Nathan! I'm not sure what language you speak, but you hit a winner on Ryse: Son of Rome.
Gauntlet.
Gauntlet Dark Legacy is Mankind’s single greatest invention of all time, and the fact that we don’t have a modern remaster or port is a literal violation of the Geneva Convention.
Shadow Hearts was an incredible PS2 game that not enough people talk about
Shadow Hearts Covenant should be on this list as it didn't review particularly well but had an outstanding story, quirky characters and brilliant turn-based combat. I still tell people Covenant's ending may be the most tragic story in any video game.
@@Ashtarte3D fair point Covenant is a better call
@@Ashtarte3D I love that ending song (Love Moon Flower). I also can't ever forget about the wrestling.. The Great Question.
Shadow Hearts 1 & 2 are 2 of my favorite PS2 games. The story is great, and the combat ahead of its time they really need to make remakes of the and Shadow Hearts 3. Great games need more like them.
True Crime LA and True Crime New York were amazing games. would love to see them remastered
*Agents Of Mayhem* 👍👍👍
MDK 2: Armageddon is a phenomenal PS2 game that does not get enough love.
Herdy gerdy is legitimately one of the most underrated ps2 games & say it with me... OF ALL TIME. Do the world a favour by bringing it to their attention in next week's list
The best PS2 game IMO was Drakan: The Ancient's Gates. I watched my stepdad play it when it first came out and I finally got my hands on a copy to play it for myself a few years ago. I was not disappointed. Of course the graphics were potato quality, but the stories within were worth it, the world was rich and explorable (to an extent), and this was in the age of cheat codes so I could give myself all the money I wanted to buy those sweet swords! A highly underrated gem, I really wish they would port it over to the PS store.
Busting out the Hobbes at the end. I see you.
I wish Hunter the Reckoning was loved more cause it has to be one of the best world of darkness games and showcased writing and co-op can truly carry awkward gameplay.
i Loved the combat in Ryse, it was so much fun.
Absolutely 100% baiting Jules with this one
Best PS2 game hands down: Dynasty Warriors 3!
The best PS2 game? Valkyrie Profile 2 Silmeria. The game is just beautiful. It brought bags platforming puzzling and JRPG together in one game. The soundtrack hauntingly beautiful. The system of battles always engaging. The optional aftergame content is there if you want the challenge. It is really unique in that it’s the Valkyrie Profile on the PS2. The only other game to come close to this is Radiata Stories.
Kane and Lynch 2 earned that review the controls were terrible
you may say whatever you want, Devil May Cry 2, Silent Hill 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, but there's only one that made you cry, laugh, cheer, ponder and wait 15 years for a sequel and 20 years to buy it again on PC last week:
Kingdom Hearts 2
Kingdom Hearts: The start of a beautiful and insane franchise, and my favorite franchise of all time
Stop making me choose among my favorite children. Persona 3 and 4: I replay these games at least 4 times. The plot...the cast. It feels like coming home every time i do a replay.
❤❤❤❤
I’m just here to accept my award….. I wanna thank fgs and all the fans of alien isolation couldn’t have done it without you lol
I'm a huge fan of Dot Hack, that game was a wild fever dream!
My favorite PS2 game is Okami. One of the most beautiful gaming experiences of my 40+ years of virtual awesomeness...🎮🐺🙌
I think the greatest games on play station 2 have to be SSX Tricky and Marvel ultimate alliance and Dragon Ball z Budokai 3 they were my favourite games I played back when I had a play station 2 also Jak and daxter
It released on multiple consoles, but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Psychonauts as one of the best PS2 games.
Kane&Lynch 2 was one of my few DNFs.
Herzog Zwei for Sega Genesis. Years ahead of its time. Too difficult for gaming journalists at the time.
you kill me everytime nate too funny XD
Vigilante 8 was so fun
A fun but forgotten PS3 classic: Conan
My top 5 PS2 games
Hulk : Ultimate Destruction (PROTOTYPE should have been...)
PSY-Ops (People hated this, I found it fun
GRADIUS V
R-Type Final
Pro Pinball TimeShock! (These were PS1 games but got rereleased on PS2 as a 3 in one pinball game)
The best PS2 game has to be Dragon Quest VIII Journey of the Cursed King. It's still one of the best rpgs ever made.
Best PS2 games... Okami, Kingdom Hearts 2, Persona 3 FES... There's so many great games tho
How did Godhand not make this list? IGN absolutely savaged the game because the reviewer was feeling particularly unprofessional that day. a 3/10 that forever ruined its reputation and contributed to tanking its sales.
Project Eden was the best game on PS2...way ahead of it's time
Oh man... Trying to think. There were so many good games for the PS2. Back in that time, we didn't think the graphics would get any better. Let me think, what was a game I constantly bought. I really liked DMC 3, but there's nothing really special about that one. Gameplay handles well though. I think it would have to be Mortal Kombat Armageddon. I could create anyone I wanted, and get to fight against all Kombat characters with them. The story wasn't all that great, but gameplay wise, you had everything. Except personal fatalities.
While I'll agree other racing games around Air Ride were good, I've never missed them but I think about Kirby Air Ride probably at least once a week to today.
Best PS2 game: Ben 10: Protector of Earth. Must have played it start to finish AT LEAST 7 times as a kid.
Capcom vs SNK 2 is the best PS2 game for me. I will even say it is the best 2D fighter out there.
"A framerate as stable as your gran in the ICU" 😂👏🏾
Persona 3 fes and smt 3 are some of the best games on the ps2, I'd even say they're some of the best jrpgs of all time
Devil's third look like, that Wanted dead game
How is Days Gone not on this list?? It's literally one of the best games I've ever played and review scores killed it 😔
Elite Dangerous Odyssey (PC). Admittedly, it was an absolute mess upon release and at the time the poor reviews were deserved. A few years later the game has vastly improved but the reviews never recovered.
Imo... it's STILL the most in depth and fleshed out VR game on the market.
Deus Ex is the best game ever, and it's a miracle that they squeezed it onto a PS2 disc; it has to be on a list of best PS2 games
I played Champions of Norath to death, it's one of my top PS2 games
SMT Nocturne. What a game.
My favorite video game ever: DEADLY PREMONITION 🤷🏻♂️ I’m fully aware of the things it lacked or did wrong, but it is and will be my all time favorite video game. Having said that, I haven’t played Deadly Premonition 2 yet… it actually looks really, really bad and not that funny/weird/“scary”/fun as the first. Maybe I’m misjudging it 🤔
Pretty sure critics gave rave reviews to Alien Isolation
Fatal Frame 2 remains my all time favorite horror game. best Ps2 game by far.
Best PS2 games to me were Silent Hill 3/ both of The Suffering titles
To me. Greatest PS2 games are Fatal Frame and Silent Hill 2 :)
My personal favorite game on ps2 was always been boxing.
Ryse still looks absolutely incredible.
zone of the enders 2 isnt just the greatest ps2 game
its just the greatest game
and with its artstyle preventing the graphics from aging that wont change
its one of the very rare games where attack animations arnt just for show and your not relying on s to dodge, if you wanted to dodge you actually had to be where the enemys weapon wasnt
and it was just peak anime, probably even more then mgs revengeance, especially with the derpy dub
"A frame rate as stable as your gran in the ICU" 🤣🤣🤣
Wow the best ps2 game? I'm going to go with one of my favorites that's lesser well known...Second Sight. Also maybe Red Faction 2?
The best PS2 game has to go to Run Like Hell: Hunt or be Hunted it was Dead Space before Dead Space the game came out in 02 Cold Fear came out 05 and the soundtack is sooo good i mean how can you go wrong with Breaking Benjamin and it was before anyone heard of them it had four tracks off their debut album and they are Shallow Bay, Home, Water and their hit song Polyamorous which they used game footage for the music video
Best PS2 game ever is definitely Drakan The Ancient Gates! Yes it exists deal with it!
No mention of Days Gone?
Greatest PS2 game? Too difficult to narrow down. Just choose one:
Devil May Cry
God of War
Kingdom Hearts
Shadow of the Colossus
Twisted Metal: Black
Guitar Hero III
GTA: Vice City
Bloodrayne
DDR Extreme 2
GrimGrimoire
Zone of Enders was excellent and only got bought because of the MGS 2 demo disk. I'd also say zone of enders 2 the 2nd runner.... and not to have a hard on for ZoE let's throw Soul Reaver 2 legacy of Kain in there right before thr series got dry bummed
Ps2 game has got to be Timesplitters2 right?
Terminator resistance is an awesome game.
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga
ryse was a weird game
it suffered hard from qte'itis that was common at the time
but its qte's did actually make sense with what was going on in the world
the actions happening correlating to specific buttons to qte, buttons meant something and you could basically play the qte without looking at the prompts
wich was and is rare
making it more then just pure qte, you are technically still kindof playing
its still a qte based game, so its definitely still bad, but it did a bad system in a good way making it less bad
That Spec Ops: The Line isn’t on this list is a crime.
Greatest PS2 game ever was MS Saga: A New Dawn…
so good 🤩
Where’s Jules.!?
Greatest ps2 game ever is Tenchu Wraith of Heaven without a doubt
Best ps2 game: burnout 3!! Where the f*ck is the remaster??!! Or a proper burnout sequal?
Honorable mention: MvC 2
I mean I wanna say maximo is the best ps2 game but objectively, its mgs3
Jak 2 it's tony hawk gta in the same game
In my opinion the best game on PS2 is Kingdom Hearts 2.
Ps2 game has to go to Jak and Daxter trilogy
