Dude I’d love coverage of weird games, especially those from the simple 2000 series
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll get it in the works 🙂
D3P forever
@@thatvideogamesshow thanks man and thanks for the awesome series. Picked up loads of stuff based on your recommendations :)
Yes I would love that too, You have a great style that you put together and I'm a fan of obscure strange video games especially on PS2 and ps360 era consoles
Great list!
Freedom fighters is one of my long time favorites. The atmosphere is so well done, and I often go back to replay it. And I'd definitely be down for a new series covering strange games!
Wish Eidos made a sequel but then with it they made Kane and Lynch, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
So good to see the often forgotten Rumble Racing mentioned here. Highly underrated racing game.
I’ll second that!
Love Freedom Fighters. The multi-player was tons of fun too as a kid. Great list!
Thanks Austin!
When you said freedom fighters, it reminded me of avatar
Heck yeah! Rumble Roses and Freedom Fighters are unsung hero games for sure! Cheers
You should totally start a new series for weird games like this!
I’ll get it in the works 🙂
I'd endorse it too.
The summoner games are amazing I completed both of them back in the day and loved em!
I totally agree. I played them recently... The 1st one last year, and the 2nd this year. They are amazing. The lore alone is so good!
Thanks for the video.
Personally, I didn't find Summoner 2 short at all, (at least not the Gamecube version.) It's a solid title, though I miss the free roaming and random encounters of the first game.
Honestly a video or two about strange video games would be awesome, especially for Demolition Girl. XD
Got me with the subtle reference to Rogue Galaxy with the music of the battle in the background of the last segment. Love that game.
One of the greats!
I wasn’t expecting to have played any of these games and then you brought up Summoner 2 what a game!
Freedom fighters is one of my favorite games. It’s so challenging on hard.
outstanding games, as someone whom never had a ps2, this kind of lists are pretty useful
Glad you found it helpful man!
I always thought that PS2 was the best console that I've ever played . Thank's for your great job 👍
with its lengthy lifespan and massive library, the ps2 has so many gems and underated games that are buried under the AAAs and exclusives. im sure you can do a few of these lists
I discover a lot of new games I've never heard of before through this channel which makes me happy when I see you've uploaded something new. Any new series from you would be great! :)
Thanks mate! 🙂
Berserk is a fun game for sure! I never finished it but I do have a copy myself. I've also not seen much or Ar Tonelico 2, though I liked what I've played of the first one. I can also vouch for Melty Blood, though I have the Steam version. That Summoner 2 game looks pretty fun too!
Melty Blood Actress Again. What a great memories with this game.
This Tsukihime Spin Off are good and i still play Melty Blood for the good times.
Demolition Girl not being NTSC is so tragic.
I'll love a serie about weird and unique games! To be honest, those are the ones who always get my attention hahahhaa
I’ll get it in the works 🙂
@@thatvideogamesshow I can't wait for that!
Evil Twin is definitely a weird game and no one ever talks about it. Reminds me of a Tim Burton movie and your character can go Super Saiyen
Glad to see Freedom Fighters getting some recognition. Widely underrated game.
Deserves way more attention!
love this series of forgotten games
Just added the first two Ar Tonellico games to my wishlist! Thanks!
Power-ups were my LEAST favorite part of NASCAR Rumble. I always turned them off, otherwise it was just you getting hit with one thing after another. I prefer to race.
Favorite channel! Thank you for all the wonderful videos
Thanks for watching King!
Thanks for the great video, I just bought a PS3 FAT and needed some guidance.
All your list of retro are all truly a marvelous gem. Thanks! Gotta try them all.
Thanks mate!
Ar Tonelico a Summoner 2 look very fun. Love this series, man!
Glad you found something new!
Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to remember a racing game where the cars could do somersaults and here we are.
Glad you found the video helpful man!
these vids are really high production value for how many subs you have. These are amazing.
Thanks Thomas!
3rd person shooters games are not my favorite genre but Freedom Fighters is one of my favorite games of all time.
I love these videos but you should list them in the description to make it easier for lookup
Strangest games series would be great!
I love this series just when i think what more could there be, he digs up more gems!
Maybe someone says already, I just want to point out that the Berserk game is on Dreamcast too, and ohh boy if you have one of those on box, sell because cost same as a ferrari......
there was actually a pc version of tribes.. that never went beyond a demo.
You might like King's Field 4 for ps2 if you liked eternal ring.
Thanks for the tip!
Remember playing Freedom Fighters on PS2 more than a decade ago. Great game but the final levels were impossible. I had last section left with 3 missions and they destroyed me lol.
Suggestion for if you do strangest games: Super Galadelic Hour, I have many questions about it, mostly what is going on in it?
Huh, I never heard of Dragon Sisters, but looks like a cool game! Freedom Fighters is definitely a great pick (and one I also mentioned in my 2nd Hidden Gems episode lol). Tribes is also a really cool game I played a bit of back in the day. Some really cool picks here and learned about some new titles as well. Great video man!
Glad you enjoyed it mate!
Great channel but I disagree with Sword of Beserk on Dreamcast being "mediocre." The gameplay, soundtrack and voice acting was good. Not to mention how well thegrsphics were utilized on Sega's last console.
Nice selection I can try on my steam deck.
Glad we have emulator's, cause the prices for some of these games are crazy
BERSERK!
I've got the Dreamcast game and the newer one that came out on PS4 (though I've got it on Steam) but this is the one I wish got a Western release. Though I do like that the Dreamcast and PS2 games take place after The Eclipse. Considering most people, if they knew about Berserk at all, only knew the anime and I believe the manga had just gotten past The Eclipse (where the anime ends for those unfamiliar) for the English releases so they could have just rehashed the anime in video game form or made up a story in between parts of the anime but instead they went all in with the later story and characters. I give them a ton of credit for that.
Dragon Sisters sounded like an interesting punt... untill I see it listed for £150+ on eBay... NEVERMIND!
I hope we see Berserk on the new PS+ membership that’s coming to PS5 one day
That’s my jam right there 🎶
YEAH!!! Tribes Aerial Assault, Rumble Racing and also Summoner 2 are good games...i have it in my external hdd and plays great on my PS2 Slim...even though its via USB and OPL thankfully it runs smoothly.... AWESOME VIDEO and LIST SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching Sei!
Adding a region descriptor really helps out for those who want to play the games on original hardware as they will know what console to play them with. If the retrocompat PS3s were also region free for PS2 games, all would be good, but that ain't the case.
Just use Magic Swap or a modchip. It will make your console import friendly, region free.
Backwards compatible PS3s can also play different region PS1/PS2 games through CFW.
@@Manic_Panic The point is to get more information on the games and not just the names. All it takes is including three acronyms: PAL, NTSC, NTSC-J. Also, the real experience is gotten on original hardware, limitations and all and if you are really into modding, should know that modding introduces some problems depending on what you mod the console to play specially with games meant for CRTs. Wrong colours, out of sync audio, audio loss, loading times being wrong or not working, etc which ain't the real experience either.
I keep hoping we'll get a new Freedom Fighters game. Still waiting, yup, still waiting. At least remaster the original IOI.
I don't think that PS2 Berserk game got released in the US. Unfortunate, looks like a fun game. Better than Dynasty Warriors reskin we got on PS4.
I'm hoping the upcoming addition of PS1, PS2, and PSP games onto PS4 and PS5 includes many forgotten gems too.
Haha would love to see it make comeback of some sorts!
Really need a USA version of games so we don't get teased on games we were not allowed nor can get now. Totally dig your take but I keep getting bummed out finding there is no way to play some):
I literally just finished up Freedom Fighters about a month ago. Originally had when it released back in the day. Decided to buy it again about 6 months ago for nostalgia sake. But replaying it was everything I remember. My only gripe was it seemed a tad shorter than I wanted it to be, but otherwise, a strong game.
If you play on easy it doesn't let you play through the whole story. Bump up the difficulty to play the full story. I can't completely remember if you have to play the game on the hardest difficulty to finish the story, but I do remember the easy difficulty only lets you get about halfway.
Oh wow, I JUST started looking into Berserk because the author/creator passed away recently and so I was curious how influential he was in gaming. Answer: Huge.
The PS2 title looks great! Fingers crossed it hits the upcoming Premium sub option at some point.
The entirety of Soulsborne games are based on Miura's work too
@@MaxXMansilla That's so cool!!
Man you've made these games look amazing... :D
I have the Simple 2000 version of Demolition Girl. It never got released in North America. Do the more strange games series!
Mr PL4Ndemic loves hidden games
Definitely going to bring back the berserk game for my emulator
It’s well worth giving it a go!
Kinda weird that Summoner2 was console exclusive while first game was on console and PC. It was nice RPG but as the first game - chain combo system was weird and never used by me.
There's moment with sorta "kingdom management" where you pick one option and see results later in the game. Wanna know the results of other options? Play it again or buy the guide, that's how they made games back then...
I wish I can go back to the 2000s
Again... never see Culdcept which should be on these PS2 lists.
Thanks for the Berserk recommendation if only we got that in the west!😇
that "a-must-play" game for fans of Berserk
Still pisses me off that I'l never be able to play Berserk: Millennium Falcon. No US release.
Please more strange games! Looking forward to seeing mr mosquito on this list ;)
In the works 🙂
What was the tra k playing during the rumble racing part?
hell yeah some love for melty blood.
one of the best anime fighting games out there.
Such a solid fighter!
make video all of the best action RPG games in Playstation 2, please? I think I missed them out of my radar..
Next up 🙂
Thanks
I recently bought Melty Blood: Type Lumina on the ps4, the one that is like £300... because i'm crazy :)
😅
Kung fu panda ps2 is objectively a masterpiece
Dragon Sisters is expensive!
What is the opening song? It sounds so familiar. It reminds me of a song from tekken for some reason
Tekken 2 intro theme 🙂
PS2 is one of my favorites
I’ll second that!
Were all of these released in north America? Or were some only in pal regions and Japan? I've heard of most of these but a few I haven't which makes me think they might not have been released over here. Especially demolition girl. lol. It looks awesome 🤣 but I've never heard of it or ever seen it before
Believe Demolition Girl was europe only sadly. Also a good mix of these games are region exclusive.
I'm surprise you used original Console graphics.
first! U-U fabulous video liked and comment not even watched yet :D
Please do a strange games videos
nice vvide i love artonelico 2
Thanks!
I'm s simple man, i see guts i click like button
Ar Tonelico and the Atelier series are great 😃❤️❤️
Awesome RPGs!
@@thatvideogamesshow yes! ☺️ I love them.
I thought berserk millennium falcon was a Japanese only
There was an english patch
13:12 PILK
ha ha he put the meme game
Can you do big big job)) ? it means top all cell- shaded games for ps2 . ? Sorry for bad English. On RUclips no one doing this . I would like it’s be you
For sure I’ll add it to the list!
For sure I’ll add it to the list!
hidden gem? steel dragon ex is a turbo kusoge
better name ibara, espgaluda or something like that instead
The world building of Ar Tonelico 1&2 is really huge (story, character, city, race, culture, etc). Also the music is so godly. 😁
Such a solid rpg!
Right.
absolutely - best on the PS2 imo.
Drakan: The Ancients' Gates was one of my favorite games when I was younger. Still to this day I love that game. A shame it's so criminally forgotten.
For me, a hidden gem is Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis.
Never in my life I found any other person that has played that amazing game.
I played freedom fighters was a great game
AR tonelico actually looks nice~ reminds me of mana khemia art style~
Same developer!
Strangest PS2 game I’ve still got is Freak Out by Treasure. If you’ve not seen it it’s not something that is easily explained.
Stretch Panic, holy shit that game is unique.
Steel Dragon EX is a great shmup. Your movement is slowed down while firing, so it creates an additional level of strategy of whether to keep firing or quickly move out of danger.
A game I never seen on lists like this is The Punisher. It has to be one of the best comic based video games ever made and nobody ever talks about it.
I'm surprised that lucasfilm let that berserk millennium falcon..... FLY 🤣🤣🤣
Primal was a awesome but obscure game for the PS2. Highly Recommended

Dude. Cover more weird stuff like Demolition Girl! That'd make for some wacky content!
if you do that series of weird ass ps2 games, Robot Alchemy Drive aka RAD shoudl be on the top of your list.
Great Ps2
Hi just wondering how the PS2 videos are so clear, does it run from an emulator or special gadget .
.
Thanks for a viewing summoner 2! I miss this game so much I know every tricks in this game and know how to make my character strong even I like to play as a mage ( magic become my favourite because from this game) ( also I like try to find every armour and weapon on this game)I wish this game was much longer
Such a great rpg!
Awesome video. This channel rocks.
Thanks man!
