What are your favourite PS2 games?
Awesome selections man 🙂
There's so many it's hard to choose!
I'd say :
-Shinobido
-Energy Airforce Aimstrike!
-Sky Odyssey
-Ring of Red
-Kengo 3
-Panzer Front Ausf.B
Are among my favorites
Ring of Red! Man I haven’t heard of that in a while! Will have to include that on a future episode 🙂
I cannot choose between Persona 4 and Shadow Hearts Covenant
Man that’s a tough choice! They are both so good 😅
I'm replaying God Hand for the 3rd time and it's the funniest beat em up ever 😍😂
Haha totally agree man, the humour is one of the best aspects!
That ending credit theme used to have me rollin
Yeah it's what makes the game worth playing, to be rewarded with Hilarious Goofy fun is the best reward, especially when the difficulty is concerned.
I never got to play it... wanted to buy it now, but man has it spiked in price :O
i finished this game in hardest difficulty for 21 time,never get tired with this game
4:12 What I like about Rumble Roses is that
It has a low-key promotional marketing of other Konami Games.
Haha loved that aspect of the game.
That was cool because of the High Quality Konami games were known for back then
Ah yes, Urban Reign! Few years ago I went on one of my two yearly visits to my longtime friend in Wales and we spent a whole day playing through and beating the entirety of Urban Reign. Taking turns doing each level or when we failed a mission. It’s one of my favourite gaming experiences to date, even though mission 98 was complete BS! 🤣 Anyway, great video! 👍
You two can play together too and beat that 98th stage together. There is a code that you can apply to control the other character via 2nd controller. If you know this already then my bad.
@@Davogre Hey. No I had no idea about this, thanks! Honestly don’t know whether to laugh or cry about this revelation! XD
@@Skip2TheEnd YOu can also unlock all the characters without even ending the game,using the code on opening screen.
Shame it didn't have 2Player.
I can't remember the last time someone mentioned State of Emergency. Such a great game.
It’s so much fun!
That was one of the early PS2 games! Man hold up!
Really awesome game :)
I played so much state of emergency 2, absolutely love it.
Conflict Desert Storm really shines when you play it as multiplayer. You and three friends working your way through those games is a fantastic experience. There's also Conflict Vietnam and Conflict Global Terror that each improve upon the last. Sadly, it isn't until Global Terror that they included a good system link option that lets everyone get their own screen.
Side note they are also available on the GCN and Xbox.
12:59 God Hand 🤘🏻 Great game and challenging too. Love the crazy story and interesting weird bosses. The US version of this is very expensive. Instead I got the MUCH cheaper Japanese version. The JP version has full English voice and a mix of English and Japanese text for the item shop. I managed to finish the game fully without any issues regarding language. Mind you I cant speak any Japanese.
Such a solid game! Wish we could get a remaster!
@@thatvideogamesshow Glad we're on the same page.
The least I want is a PS2 classic. I've completed both Urban Reign & God Hand twice at the local rental back in the day. But I want that again, along with MK Shaolin Monks, Black & many others.
It ain't cheap here in Europe either...
Damn, God Hand was really difficult but very rewarding game!
Totally agree! Wish it would make a comeback.
3:00 don't be modest, you can't fool me.
But damn, it looks good. Gonna buy/download it, thanks!
😅
the last entry of that franchise is an xbox 360 exclusive.
God hand is one of the best Beat them up who I've played on my life! I really recommanded even if it's expensive today. :/
It's one of the best games on playstation 2.
Thanks for video!
Thanks for watching moonlight!
Majority of these aren't really forgotten games.
Capcom vs. snk 2 was a near perfect fighter
I’m actually surprised more wrestling games don’t have Rumble Roses type gameplay, too bad that game is so imbalanced!
YEAHHH! Devil kings is so good. I wish Capcom ported more Sengoku Basara games other than this one and the 3rd one
Such a great game!
Great video and great choices as always. Glad to see Evergrace getting a mention! City Crisis is straight to my purchase list
Thanks David! Glad you found something new to play 🙂
Ill keep saying it, Garouden Fist or Twist is so underrated and obscure but so good
Evergrace, man. One of the first PS2 games I ever played along DW2. I'd love it if FromSoftware were to make a small-scale remake of it.
I recommend Evergrace 2 then. Also known as Forever Kingdom. Better than the original in every way.
@@Leaddevo Would be cool if FromSoftware remastered them. Would be cool for people to see their early days.
God Hand was awesome and very funny. But Urban Reign has a special place in my heart. It's the kind of game that you never get tired of playing.
Theres a childhood game pretty sure only for ps2 that i played a long time ago but can’t remember the name?
Details: A badass very serious male character white long hair, black armor and you could choose to have a sidekick to help you on your journey. the game is similar like dark souls and no its not the Witcher or devil may cry.
I thought the juggle system and wall splats in Urban Reign looked a LOT like Tekken, even the animation of punches and kicks. Punches looked like Steve Fox.
Then it said NAMCO. No wonder. 😅
Best console generation ever
I’ll second that!
Not really, today is the best generation, despite the pay to win we never had so many diferent games and genres of games, we even see new types being created every year
Wow, Rumble Roses is pretty darn good looking for a ps2 game
I was sure people had completely forgotten about Capcom vs SNK and God Hand! Love the list. Will have to keep an eye for these games 👀👀
Thanks Zach! They are well worth grabbing if you can find them!
I already have God Hand on my PS2 and PS3 but I would buy it again if Capcom ports it to the Switch or PS4.

I love how no matter how much I think I know about video games and their history, you always find something I’ve never heard of. Like City Crisis, which has certainly caught my eye. Thank you for always surprising this grizzled old gamer.

@@thatvideogamesshow with our help you going to have content for ages 👌😎
I used to play Urban Reign as a warmup for home workouts. Seriously - I'd play a few missions, and it would get me so psyched up I was ready to start doing strength training and drillwork.
i remember most of these. What an amazing list
Didn't expect to see Shox in the list, great game!
urban reign : 2 stick PS2 destroy
Urban reign was incredible
I’ll second that!
this exact list is my current PS2 playlist at the moment. I've also been playing Kuon and Kengo.
Respect for mentioning God Hand =), the Double Dragon of Playstation 2. Beat Down Fists Of Vengeance is good too.
ah rumble roses, a game for cultured men
No no NO NO NO!!!!!
NOT Devil Kings. Do NOT play it......unless you love butchered censored westernized versions for some reason. Play the original Sengoku Basara instead. It would be in japanese, yes. But you would get the full experience as it was meant to be.
Definitely this. Japanese version is much much better.
I knew it! I thought the armored guy is Nobunaga, I was right!
Thankfully they stopped that (as they should because games need to stay original) and there's Sengoku Basara 3 in US on PS3 which is nice.
@@Vik1919 They need to stay original, and i absolutely agree (i hate censorship of any from) but censorship (as a whole) is still a thing. Playstation is the king regarding that, especially ever since California. Or even Capcom these days.
But regarding SB, even playing them in japanese, there isnt much of a problem because Musou Games dont have too much to them actually.
I have every single SB game released to date (SB1; 2; 2 Heroes; 3; 3 Utage; 4; 4 Sumeragi; Chronicle Heroes; Battle Heroes; Yukimura-Den and X, also have watched every Anime), i've played and beat them all. And seriously, there is barely a significant language barrier. And regarding the story, there are FAQs or summaries online for that.
Oh don't worry. I still have Rumble Roses, Urban Reign, and God Hand, Sengoku Basara (or Devil Kings) and Sengoku Basara 2 even Capcom vs SNK 2 😁
Capcom vs SNK 2 is such a good game on the GCN. The GCN version, Capcom vs SNK 2: EO, allowed the player to use the C-stick as a shortcut to do special moves and even finishers. It made the game welcoming to new players who weren't great at fighting games to be able to play with their friends without having to be great at the game and inputs.
Nice reflection effect on the cars in Shox.
It's very good but a little exaggerated

Urban reign and God hand are the best in this list i remember enjoying allot playing theme
Evergrace is a dumpster fire of a game. Your magic and skills are tied to your armor, which has degradation mechanics. While that might not seem so bad until you realize that every step you take breaks your boots HP by 1. Literally just walking to find new boots will cost you your current boots. And if you break your boots you'll walk barefoot which then drains your health. And let's not forget the magic "puzzles", there's a fire right? ok so the water ability should put out the fire, right? NOPE. Wrong answer. One of only a few games i've ever ripped out of the system and thrown it into a wall because it was SO BAD.

Omgg finally someone mentions evergrace aaaaaaaa
😅
hello, buddy ^^ I LOVE Rumble Roses :D I'm gonna check out "Shox" and "Evergrace" and "God Hand" :) thanks for this video
best wishes- Senshi
Chaos Legion, Spartan Total Warrior, Def Jam: Fight For New York other PS2 forgotten games haha
Rumble Roses... I see you are a man of culture and a true scholar.
😅😅
@@thatvideogamesshow Fear no judgement! I own a PS2 game that I purchased in Japan a long time ago (I forget the name right now) in which you play as a samurai cowgirl in a bikini. Needless to say, young me back then was already appreciating the finer things in life.
@@Vertignasse82 Oneechanbara? Dude of culture right there.
@@culturedbrother I think it's from that series, yes! I will reply with the actual name when I'm done work. This is making me want a video on all those finer games now! Although such content may not reflect the usual professionalism of this channel.
Urban Reign is 50% Tekken, 50% Pro Wrestling smushed into a beat em' up. My only complaint is I don't like the arena style level design. I would have preferred a more traditional level structure.
Capcom vs. SNK 2, 20th Anniverssary - Master Piece nothing less than that.
Oh, Godhand love so much, too much fun.
Huh, so Sengoku Basara is called Devil Kings in the west.... sounds weird
Sengoku Basara 2 on ps2 was my childhood. I spent so much time on that game to max my characters and unlock all of their skills and weapons.
Soo sad State of Emergency sequel was soo bad
My first punk-rock band back in 2005 was called State of Emergency in honor to that game
Urban Reign is also Tekken Force (the beat em up mode in tekken 3,4, and differently named in 6) on a slightly more simplified but still deep level. Simplified control wise, but deep with how there are different mechanics as mentioned and ways to make pretty awesome combos. It's also tekken force, or just basically tekken not just because of the inclusion of Marshall Law and Paul Phoenix, but because parts of move sets of existing characters like Jin Kazama, King, Hwoarang, Bruce Irvin, and more are applied to the many unlockable characters in the game. So, you are indeed getting Tekken the beat em up (with a hidden 2 player co-op cheat as well)
Tekken force was so good, loved that extra mode!
@@thatvideogamesshow I loved it too. I was honestly hoping it would return in Tekken 7 as the additional mode when it wasn't revealed yet but...alas, no tekken force.
I didn't know nothing about the helicopter one game.
Awwww, I remember my deception when I tried devil kings out ....you see, I played Sengoku basada in Japanese, so I noticed all those cuts just because is was "too Japanese to sell"...
There are also Genji - Dawn of the Samuray and Future Tactis: The Uprising
Its funny look back at Rockstars releases almost all could be seen as testing grounds to perfect a gameplay element before incorporating it into gta. Example they perfect street racing in Midnight club then do GTA3. They do State of Emergency and play with allies and crowds introduce elements of that into vice city and san andreas
Yep i was blown away by rumble roses and they made it even better on 360. Definitely a GEM. The girls in the game sure, they're bangable but nothing really redeemable they're pretty busted looking.
3:34 just curious did you buy that game by yourself or did one of your oblivious parents buy it ? Because if was caught playing that when I was a kid my parents would’ve probably banned the entire franchise for me lol.
God Hand is truly the best beat 'em up game and one of the best PS2 has to offer. It's challenging, fun, cool and has humour. The bosses are great as well. It's one of a kind.
How is Capcom vs Snk 2 a forgotten game?? No offense, but You really must not know much about fighters if this is your opinion on that particular game.
I loved Rumble Roses. I have the game on the ps2 and 360. I was way into wrestling games back then. I do miss fun arcade racing games. God Hand was another great game I still have.
I have never forgotten Gdhand, Its in my PS2 collection and top 5 PS2 games for me, IGN = Ignorant .
rumble roses forgotten?? we played that game so much back then....but yeah wwe vs raw was much more fun with customization the bug where you can get inside the crowd and a 6player free for all with the multitap
Love it , been looking at ps2 consoles online i dream of playing manhunt again lol
Manhunt! Gotta include that in part 3. Awesome game!
You can buy Manhunt digitally on PS4 store for $9.99.
Man, I love Rumble Roses. I used to play it with friends and we laughed at the sheer absurdity and cheesyness of the story mode, the challenges, the characters, etc.
I remember the first Summoner game released as a launch game. I got very far but somehow got stuck and couldn't finish it. Something to do with having low health with no way to increase it at that point in the game. I intend to go back to it.
You're on another planet if you think CvS2 is forgotten lol
The FGC considers it one of the greatest fighting games of all time and is still asking for a CvS3 to this day.
This Rumble Roses game seems pretty difficult, I mean, how am I supposed to perform all these moves with just one hand??
Maybe game like TMNT,digimon,onimusha,raidou kuzunoha can join this list
Great video. Though to me, this is like "Games I read about in GamePro magazine back in 2002" lol
I still using my ps2 till mow after i hacked mine my i can play import japanese games ,hacked games, and even use cheat engine without disc.
Devil Kings is forgotten because the localization is really bad than the original Japanese itself "Basara" series
How is cvs2 forgotten? People still play it in tournaments and now you can even play it on fightcade.
what accent is that?
Gta vice city
Ratchet and clank up your arsenal
Killer 7
Noone lives forever
Half life
Rumble Roses. 1 important reason why you should buy a Ps2 back in the days.
I find it hard to trust someone my age who didn't play State of Emergency. xD
Devil Kings was tons of fun. The little girl with the massive hammer was a damage control God. hahahaha
As someone who played Devil Kings, I can say with all certainty that it' not even a Gem, not alone a hidden one, It's not something I would recommend unless there is nothing else to play on the PS2 which isn't the case and also CVS2 is not hidden, its a game most fighting game fans already know exist, No way a fighting game fan would have a PS2 without it
It's not a "fighting" (of course it includes fighting, don't take it literally) game, it's a Warriors game. A whole different genre. Although it's not a gem because it was changed when localised to West. Should have kept it original like most games are.
I think PS2 was the last era of good racing games, I haven't been interested in racing games ever since
These videos sure are a tease, there is no way i will pay the prices most of these games cost.
rumble roses is not a forgotten ps2 game... we just played it in a secluded place
“Forgotten” but if TVGS mentions it is it really forgotten?? 😵
Just joking around :) thanks for the upload! ❤️
😅😉
GOD HAND never forget that game. That's the proof IGN is a mess 👌
City Crisis is one game I haven't heard of. Looks like a good time. Gonna look for this game
Urban Reign is so good that i want Brad as a character for Tekken.
yeah if we didnt have a street fighter like miguel i could see Brad be included as a guest character, maybe even revitalising the interest for Urban Reign
Are these awesome games available for purchase on PS4?
Who makes the chapters in your video and why is Shox named Sharks lol
Can you make a video 'bout psp/ps2 best story games
Desert Strom 2 is the best military game ever made, and can be played multi player.
Wanna know a fact all of the moves that you in the first part of the video game is from def jam fight for ny
I think God Hand is also on the PS3 store BTW.
Great video TVGS
Thanks captain, glad you enjoyed it mate 🙂
In my opinion, state of emergency is one of the worst games of all time
Pitfighter more like shitfighter what a steaming pile of shit that game was except the arcade original
8:24 Sengoku Basara had the weirdest localization ever.
Well I will try Urban Reign and Shox i have tried other games
That one game you knew you loved and it's the one that you don't remember the name of😭
God Hand is what Dark Souls players think that Dark Souls is
You really expect us to believe Rumble Roses was a game you played because you were into the wrestling? Riiiiiigggghhhhhttttt! Sell us another one my friend. ;) LMAO
🙄🙄🙄🙄😏😅
