I.
love.
you.
bro what is this song u used in video can u tell me pls
Devil May Cry 3 and Burnout 3 are not hidden gems. Those are two of the most popular games on the PS2.
A lot of the games in this list are not hidden gems I mean half life,deux ex,unreal tournament,prince of Persia just to name a few.
@@firzokkhan6443 Half-Life and Deus Ex aren't hidden gems on the PC but they are on the PS2 given that barely anybody knows they are on there.
@@NukeA6 Well they are popular franchises hence not hidden gems anyone with any interest in the games could do a simple google search if they can get themselves a ps2 copy and not like these are some obscure titles.
@@firzokkhan6443 Still obscure PS2 titles which makes them hidden gems.
This
This was a fun time in gaming where games came out complete no extra updates or pushing titles
Good times! You can still pick up an old PS2 game and start playing. These days only half the game is on disk, you have to download huge updates and buy extra dlc to get the full experience. Such a shame.
Games would still be unfinished in those times you were just too young to notice/care
It's up to you decide what to play.
Suuure... like it was not the era of "X game" and then 6 months later "X game : Premium" followed by "X game : super edition"
@@GinkgoPete nope
PS2 was a beast, insane how most of these ran 60 fps if not close to 60. Some of these companies even pulled off amazing graphics by using clever tricks, games like nfs underground, gt3,gt4 urban chaos and ghost hunters look very impressive no matter the jaggies or lower resolutions. PS2 it just works damnit!
For sure! PS2 and PS3 were the goats! Gameplay and old school graphics have a certain charm.
Man I love The Punisher on PS2. I'm replaying it right now and it's so gory and great
Great choice! One of the most visceral comic book games out there! Love replaying this gem from time to time. Just pure old school carnage!
Just broke out my Mrs old ps2 and punisher and Jack ass is the games I'm trying to get a hold of haha
I was gonna mention Punisher too.
Needs a remake asap.
I've been trying to find and rebuy my childhood favorite videogames because I thought games these days were going to be better, BOY WAS I WRONG!
I feel you! It´s not just nostalgia! Gameplay was more polished, stories were better and the overall experience was more consistant! 90% of my playtime is spent with older games!
@@GamingKick gameplay more polished ? idk what's funnier, this comment or you trying to put @hidden gem@ in the title when it's literally top 100 metacritic games
@ethanwasme4307 I was curious, so I checked the Top 100 PS2 games on metacritic! The ONLY game that we both featured is Burnout 3! And yes, the gameplay was more polished on release days back then! In comparison to what is released as full game nowadays!
Its not just games, everything was better in that era, music & movies were also better quality than today, no annoying political correctness shoved in it aswell.. those were the days, modern times are actually trash
glad u mentioned predator concrete jungle. one of the best ps2 games nobody talks about
It´s one of the most underrated PS2 games! Bit rough around the edges but I absolutely love it! Bloody good fun!
Game was hard as fuck for me to beat lol. Loved every minute of it though!
Can’t wait to watch this tonight. Later on when I kick my shoes off and relax after work!
Sounds like a plan! Made sure to include only the finest PS2 hidden gems!
Nice ps2 list. Glad to see spyhunter, total overdose, and x files among other great ps2 gems
Total Overdose and X - Files were amazing underrated PS2 games! Recently replayed Total Overdose and it´s still a blast!
Good list! I haven't heard of some of these
Thanks, my dude! Glad you found some new gems
Rule of Rose is one. Kinda similar to Haunted Grounds, being that it's a survival horror game.
A great horror game on PS2 for sure!
Psi ops mindgate conspiracy is the game that should at least be on everyone's bucket list. Its a phenomenal game and most people never heard of it.
It´s an underrated hidden gem for sure!
Excellent video! You picked many very interesting titles :D well done!
Prince of Persia warrior within, Psy ops, manhunt, sniper elite, and some others are such amazing games that deserve reboots or remakes. I would love to see Psy ops rebooted in vr. That game is so underrated and has such awesome game mechanics that it’s criminally underrated. The idea to use one arm to lift push pull throw enemies while the other arm is for your weapon. Just such an awesome translation into vr.
My dude with the list 🔥
Good list. But you missed my favorite, Dr. Muto! It’s the best 3d platformer on the ps2 imo, and my favorite game of all time. It really is that good. Some other hidden gems are Zapper: One Wicked Cricket, Haven Call of the King, and Nano Breaker.
Thanks for the tip! Never heard of Dr. Muto! But the art design and look of it already has me hooked! Haven: Call of the King is another of these games that I´ve been searching for but have never seen in the wild! Will check out Zapper and Nano Breaker too! Thanks for sharing your hidden gems!
okay I'm downloading these rn 🤫
Ah, Dr. Muto. Or as I tend to think of it, Dr. Clayton Forrester: The Game. :-)
Urban chaos is my favorite ps2 game ever, until this day I'm sad so much people don't know about it

Interesting list of ps2 version game's to say the least but as you know everyone has their own list of ps2 game's they enjoy✌☀️
Nice hidden gems compilation! Some of them ive never played before. My little hidden gem list:
Way of samurai 1+2
Monster Attack
Global Defense force
Turok Evolution
Evolution GT
Zombie hunters
Gauntled Seven sorrows
Hard knock high
Thanks my dude. I loved Turok Evolution as a kid. Everything with dinos in it was an instant must have for me, even tho it was a pretty mediocre and clunky game. Gauntlet and Way Of The Samurai were pretty dope, but I haven´t played the others yet. Will make sure to check them out. Thanks for sharing.
Solid list and video format, shame on those who disliked
Thanks, my dude! As a wise man once said: "If video games have taught me anything, it's that if you encounter enemies then you're going the right way”
Ty got a ton of games to add to the collection from this video!
Urban Reign is ahead of its time still now... best fighting game in history.
U alright its amazing
Pretty good video, I'm subscribing right now :D
Thanks! Much appreciated
Just wanted to pause the video and say AMAZING JOB for putting Marc Eckos: Getting Up in here!!!
Amazing game bro fr. Hood Classic!
Thanks! Really enjoyed it! It was way ahead of it´s time! Captures the early 2000s nostalgia perfectly!
Golden era of gaming, nice song selection too. Have a good one. =)
Hey nice list, thank you :)
Glad you enjoyed!
dude this is the best top 100 ps2 hidden gems video made. More than 10 games caught my interest in this list, whilst others made look up only 2 or 3. Great choice of games.
Happy to hear that! Have fun, my dude!
My all time favorites were Tenchu series, Dark Alliance, R evil 4. And tony halwk Under ground
Great choices! Would add them to my Top 100 BEST Games on PS2 too!
you should play shinobido
So cool to see a bunch of some of my favorites on this
Nice list bro 😎, my favorite games are blood will, fatal frame, final fight and Genji. It was fun to play
Huge fan of Fatal Frame and Final Fight myself. Always worth a replay!
From the song, to the games, jumping to the nostalgia. THIS video, defines a small (yet big) history of why the PS2 is the greatest🤘🏻. Great edit, I discovered so many more great games! 6:02 'Max Payne' with his slow-motion move with the song kind of slowing down, matches perfectly! LOVE IT!!!
🦇
PS2 / PSP / PS3 era of gaming was peak perfection! Poping in a disc and having your mind blown! I still remember playing Max Payne for the first time. Entering the subway station and blasting those goons in slow mo! Played that level over and over again!
7:45 thank you adding this , great memories , I hold the world record for this game , it is a hidden gem
X111, punisher, warriors 😍
So glad to see Metal Arms: Glitch in the System listed! One of the greatest adventures I've ever played on the PS2!
It also came out on gamecube
@@LG-ro5le Yup. Just remembered I played it on all 3 consoles 😆
@@ReTethered haha, its a great game tho
No Mr. Mosquito! What a crime to humanity.
The PS2 was the best video game in history, so much so that it sold the most units, there are many good games, in this list of 100 there are 100 that were left out, like...
1 Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Code Veronica X
2 Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear 3
3 Onimusha
4 7 Sins
5 Siren
The PS2 has nearly 2000 games in it´s library! Could easly make another list like that! Great recommendations for a best PS2 games list for sure!
Nice list, I would recommend Scaler it's a good platformer hidden gem game for ps2.
truee literally so underrated
Most game its my favourite game its amazing thanks 😊 🙏🏼 good video pro
So pumped from this tune!
insane list, mate!
Thanks, much appreciated!
Nice content
Gauntlet Legends: Dark Legacy is one of my favorite hidden gems. Definitely give that game a look if you haven't.
Man,Primal deserves so much more recognition,that game was amazing.
Great game! Really enjoyed it too!
Not really. The gameplay was lame.
Thanks so much for this list i play many of these games but forgot the name since it was such a long time ago
Glad I could offer some help!
Worth a small fortune some of those titles.
Some older PS2 titles exploded in price! But often you can still grab them in collection sales for a decent price!
Spy hunter never gets mentioned. Nice to see it on a list.
Great list apart from the top few. Bully, Burnout, DMC3, DefJamNY, psychonaughts and Half-life are all very well recognised games
Drakan is so underrated, i grew up playing that, it’s my childhood along with prince of persia and tomb raider❤
Great choices! Drakan is an underrated gem for sure! Riding dragons and burning goons to a crisp! Loved Prince Of Persia especially Warrior Within. Currently trying to catch up on the PS2 / PS3 Tomb Raider games! Missed out on them back in the day!
I love the PS2 but you gotta love this video alone just for the music! 🤘🤘
Some of those are absolutely not hidden, lol. But, it still showed me some games I'd forgotten about that I'm going to acquire for the emulator, so thank you!
Shadow of rome is rlly underrated. My hidden gem for Ps2 is: Champions Return to arms.
Shadow Of Rome goes hard! It´s an absolute classic!
forgotten realms demon stone GOD DAM HAVE I BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS GAME. i played it at my uncles but as a kid but rememberd it so vaguely
It´s an underrated gem for sure! Glad someone else remembers it! Was a huge fan of the PS2 Lord of the Rings games too!
I'm playing through Def Jam FFNY at the moment.. so much fun 😀
One of the best fighting games ever made! They simply don´t make em like this anymore!
@@GamingKick Yeah very true! Imagine how good a new gen remaster could be!!
@@adamrampage Dreaming of a remaster every night! I heard licensing issues keep them from (re-)making another Def Jam game! Guess the last two games Icon and Rapstar flopping hard doesn´t help either!
@@GamingKick Yeah I can imagine the game being a licensing nightmare due to the fact that I don't think any of those artists are signed to Def Jam anymore! They would probably have to change the roster to include current def jam artists.
Just got mine yesterday loving it vendetta is good too
great music some of the games on the videos are really nice:) Its difficult to call one favourite gmae because there are many favourite games for me: Burnout 3 definetely one of them (but its not really a hidden game for me because Burnout Series was popular) and I like the sport game BMX XXX its so funny and makes lots of fun, dor me this game is underrated... Shadow of Hearts is a good Hidden RPG Game and Persona 4 too.
what song is that
I loved Genji: Dawen of the Samurai and the Tenchu games. Wrath of Heaven and Fatal Shadow I used to put in so many hours of my life.
I also used to grind Urban Reign a lot.
great video and music im gonna use this for my audio tracks for MvC 2, because i hate the jazzy music
Urban reign still booming up. Cos I love it
Great list, though there are some other overlooked PS2 Games that you forgot on this list: Devil May Cry 2, Tomb Raider: Legend, SSX Tricky, Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds, Okami, Killer 7, Gungrave, Fahrenheit (AKA Indigo Prophecy), Transformers, NFL Street, Summoner, Amplitude
Okami was the one I sadly missed because it was such an amazing game. It’s sad that the game flopped in sales and sometimes forgotten about. But critics still talked to it to this day as one of the best PS2 Games of all time.
Thanks for adding a few more! Really appreciated! Might have to make a Top 100 PS2 Hidden gems #2 video!
NFL street was too good.
Onimusha 3 for me was stand out back then.
@wurowuro6710 Never played NFL Street, but Onimusha 3 was great!
The first Headhunter it's a gem too I played in the the Dreamcast
I love that Yakuza 1 was number 1 for this list lol
Good list
Thanks!
ps2 had the perfect mix of aesthetics, developers finally figuring out how to make 3D games after growing pains on ps1, and experimental gameplay. don’t think there will ever be a better era of games.
BMX XXX , The Suffering and Rise to honor are some awersome games !!!!
One game I loved on my ps2 was ghostbusters it wasn’t like the ps3/xbox360 one but it still had its own charm
Loved the PS3 version of Ghostbusters. It´s a great game. I had no clue that the PS2 version is different. The graphics look cartoony. Does it have a different story?
@@GamingKick yes sorta you don’t fight the stay puffed monster on the building it’s allot of things but it’s worth a play I need to get my hands on the remake for ps4 cause I liked how the ps3 one played
@@gijoe532 Will see if I can grab a copy on PS2. The remake was free on Epic Games a while ago! So you maybe have it in your libary already! It sure is worth it on a modern system. Still holds up and the story is really entertaining too.
Gun is definitely a hidden gem! Great game!!
The Red Dead Redemption of the PS2 era!
Nice games. 👍
#41 bro i was playing this game at very young age 4 or 5 y/o on SEGA and i just rememberd it doesnt even knew its name thank u for reminding good memories 🤧
You´re welcome! Playing Contra at such a young age is the way to go! No challenge too hard ;)
Dark Chronicle/Dark Cloud 2 should have been on this list for sure. One of my absolute favorite on PS2.
Did not play these games, but I´ll give them a try if I get the chance!
They're the same game. A Level 5 game (Dragon quest 8, rogue galaxy, ni no kuni, professor Layton, etc) and one that has some really surprising mechanics for a PS2 game.
Some of these games look pretty awesome and ones I haven’t tried. Glad to see God Hand on the list. Don’t think I saw Mister Mosquito tho.
I love the ps2 games so much
Mad Maestro! was a rhythm game based on, wait for it...classical music. It's a genre that has lots of material available, and lots of possible ways to game-ify.
MM! went for the slightly zany route, but there are other ways to approach it.
For instance, when Tchaikovsky composed the "1812 Overture," the plan was to premiere it in downtown Moscow, with artillery pieces on electrical cues, and churches all over the city ringing their bells at the climax of the piece. That performance never happened... but what might it have looked like, if it had?
And then there's "Für Elise." Whoever she was (and there's actually some dispute about that, even today), "Elise" may never have heard it. The composition wasn't discovered until Beethoven had been dead for 40 years. But what might have happened if he'd performed it for her?
I have a soft spot for classic tunes. Haven´t heard of mad maestro yet but will make sure to check it out. And thanks for the inside look.
There is some absolute bangers I wouldn't say that they're "hidden gems"
I never knew crazy taxi was on the PS2
I think Crazy Taxi was ported to nearly every console and handheld ever made!
Nice
My favourite mortal kombat shaolin monks
One of the best PS2 games for sure
Nice!!!
PS2 is one of the nicest consoles!
@@GamingKick it is!! It’s just too bad it was region locked. Missed out on a bunch of imports.
I think that prince of Persia warrior within is my favourite game in this list but I want to say other great games like devil may cry 3 and Yakuza.
Great choices! Yakuza is an alltime favorite of mine!
Ah man...the good old days...😢
Love me some Metal Arms with Glitch
I had so much fun playing area 51 on the PlayStation 2.
I have a soft spot for Alien conspiracy stories! It's a short and fun shooter with a ton of great voice actors! Where else can you hear Mulder and Marlyin Manson in the same project! Sadly the second part was pretty underwhelming
Some of these are not "hidden". In fact, some of them are really popular and on some people's top 10 ps2 games lists.
-As for my own "hidden gems",
--Enter the Matrix is a lot of fun if you can ignore some jank.
--Airblade is a fun Tony Hawk style game but on a hoverboard.
--Freekstyle is a really fun arcade-y dirtbike racing game.
--Amplitude and Frequency are some pretty fun music rhythm games.
--GTA Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories. Not hidden, but a lot of people don't realize they were ported to PS2
--Grandia II is a really good JRPG (there's also a Grandia III, but I haven't played it)
--Initial D Special Stage. It's japanese exclusive, but if you're emulating or burning discs, there's a japanese menu translation patch
--Klonoa 2. Again, not AS 'hidden' as some games, but I didn't know there was a sequel to Klonoa until recently.
--Mobile Suit Gundam Federation vs Zeon and Gundam vs Zeta Gundam are both fun mech games
--NFL Blitz 2003. Again, not hidden per-say, but it's definitely not talked about. It's a really fun arcade-y football game.
--Red Dead Revolver, while not amazing, is still decent. And it's the game that came before Red Dead Redemption.
--Rumble Roses is an okay fighting/wrestling game, even if it IS all about busty half-dressed women
--Shox is a fun arcade-y rally racing game
--Splashdown Rides Gone Wild is a decent jet ski racing game
--Monster Hunter 2. Obviously a well known series, but MH2 is japan-exclusive with a downloadable english patch. Not hidden, but no one talks about Monster Hunter even existing on PS2, so I consider the PS2 games to at least be "underrated".
You have included The Punisher on the list, thus I consider you my brother.
You´re welcome, Bro! It´s a legendary game! Perfect to let off some steam and go wild!
Nice list but pretty much #11 to no.1 are very known games in the Ps2 Era. DMC 3 is amongst the most popular in the series. And so is Hitman Blood Money. Yakuza 1 obviously is a success that it spawned sequels for next gen of consoles and Bully has a cult following.
I picked some more popular ones for the top 10 that might be overlooked these days! DMC3 sure is the best in the DMC series. And Hitman Blood Money was when Hitman peaked for me. Don´t think the modern Hitman games have the same charm.
Bully was totally overlooked back in the day! I still remember that a ton of my friends called it a GTA for kids, but it sure did grew a cult following over the years.
BUT Yakuza 1 on PS2 is a hidden gem. It´s still a PS2 exclusive and it never made it onto modern systems. The orignal dub is hilarious and it still plays fairly decent for a PS2 era game. Yakuza was never poplular until it hit mainstream with Yakuza 0. I still remember that I had to mail order Yakuza 3&4 because no store had a copy and Yakuza 5 was nearly canceled in the west. It was one of the first digital PS3 games I bought on release.
I wish I could play again project altered beast for ps2 it was such a great game
BRO pls answer
What title song ?? Like EDM genre song
90s by SilverHoof!
You can find it on Audiojungle!

SOME EXCELLENT GAMES.
Couldn´t agree more...SOME EXCELLENT GAMES.
Oh yes, the "hidden gem" Manhunt, from the small indie studio Rockstar games!
Yeah. Right up there with the super unknown indie game, Burnout 3.
@@TXFDA And the even more unknown game, fucking Bully! For the love of god!
I got def jam fight for my PS2 on disc. that's up there and I had it when I was a little kid. I had dead to rights. I wish I still had evil dead regeneration. I want blood will tell and samurai western a lot. my cousin when I was younger had a game based on stuff like pokemon and yu-gi-oh and it was called culdcept. that game was great and a hidden gem
A really hidden gem that you also missed is the most Authentic and Unique Ninja game ever that was creat it - Shinobido Way of the Ninja ☯️✌ (Good old days with this Masterpiece of a Ninja game)
Several of these aren't exactly 'hidden' gems, though it was nice to see Primal in the list (yay Andreas Katsulas!) Was hoping to see Alter Echo or Kya: Dark Legacy, though..
Resident Evil Outbreak I was surprised to see it on the list
Too many shooters, which I'll never play using a game controller. Shooters belong to the PC. But the Gregory Horror Show is looking interesting.
Max Payne was an amazing game as well
Disagree with some stuff but gosh it feels good to see the people talking about this.
Always love to hear what people think even if I disagree. Have stumble upon some real gems this way!
I wonder if Minecraft cube head, was inspired by Greggory Horror Show
Greggory Horror Show has a similar art style for sure! Guess the world wasn´t ready for it yet!
Ah he got da eurobeat
Gonna hit the nostalgia hard with that beat! ;)
Ty
Jade Cocoon 2, Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner, Primal, War of the Monsters
Kingdom hearts 2 San Andreas dbz budukai 3 and tenkaichi 3 were my favorites and matrix path of neo
Good list, but my favorite hidden gem is legia 2 duel saga
Never tried it! Is it worth it for non JRPG gamers?
@@GamingKick it is it's one of my favorites, and one of the few where when you cook for your party it will either boost your stats or hurt them depending on if it's good or not lol
And the battle system is totally unique the only one of it's kind where you can basically make your own combos, give it a try you won't regret it
@@joshstamey4387 Guess my party will end up with food poisoning! I´ll add it to my list and see if I find a copy!
