The reason you never saw the spy hunter movie is because it doesn’t exist. It was canceled prior to production. This game is all that remains of that planned film.
5:18 That frame right there makes the game, you can't make this shit up. I was originally like is that The Rock in SpyHunter? when I saw the cover art, sure enough it was... except he looks like Nico Bellic from behind. That face reveal was like the chef's kiss, wow. I gotta say I recognized some of his wrestling moves even 25 years later so they at least nailed that. Dino Stalker, yeah I totally forgot that existed. I wouldn't mind tracking down a copy of that one though. I was a big light gun fan back in the day, I still have Vampire Night and Resident Evil Dead Aim but I'd gladly welcome this or the Time Crisis games to the collection even if it does suck. You should invest in a GunCon2 if you're serious, it is a phenomenal light gun and probably the best I can think of to be honest. My copy of Vampire Night was a big box with the GC2 included, and I know I got a second one at some point maybe loose. I'm not quite sure what you're trying to do with that title though, you seem to be reinforcing the critic's opinions with your own takes on these mostly shitty games.
I will mosdef be looking out for a GunCon 2. I think they were wrong about Predator, Dino Stalker and Spy Hunter for sure. They weren't wrong about Mercenaries, and Terminator 3, despite it's issues, and overall bad quality, it's still fun for me anyway. ha thanks for watching
@@BigRetroShow You won't regret getting a GunCon2 if you love light gun games, I can guarantee that. Hey I've been known to like some pretty sub par games myself, no worries.
I agree. Critics can get so into critic mode that they might forget what fun feels like. I've liked quite a lot of games that got at least somewhat panned by critics. People should give games a try themselves to see if they even agree with reviews. Terminator and Dino Stalker are the ones that looked most fun to me.
Eu meio que "platinei" Predator Concrete Jungle. Peguei todas as Skins, Armas. Tudo. Foi o jogo que eu mais explorei no Playstation 2. E isso antes de existir "platina" em algum jogo.
Glad I found your channel, great video man. I totally agree about the T3 game. My dad and I rented it one weekend shortly after getting our PS2 and man were we disappointed lol.
Fun fact the spy hunter film was never actually made and the last update was i. 2016 i think and at one point john woo eas set to direct which could have been freaking awesome!
@BigRetroShow it could so easily make a dope movie but imo I feel like executive's wouldn't like the name spy hunter for the flick. It's too simple and I feel like if it's not like LITERALLY about a hunter of spies lol they wouldn't bite or think it would sell. Not to mention the years since it had ANY LEVEL of relevance. Like who would the movie be for? The younger crowd would care at all and the ones with nostalgia wouldn't care enough for it to be profitable
Nah mercenaries 2 on ps2 is horrible port, well original developer's didn't even make that lazy port xD i love that big lake with all that fog, straight from silent hill
To be honest the hate the terminator 3 game is mostly justified it doesn't help that the movie was not very good & this game is made by the people that made fugitive hunter the worst first person shooter on ps2
@BigRetroShow Probably because you play as Jimmy Patterson in Frontline, just like the original PS1 game, while you play as Mike Powell in Allied Assault.
The only game on this list i has back in the day was predator concret jungle lol i got it a blockbuster when they had their going out of business sale the cashier didn't give a f they wanted i think 20 for predator concret jungle he sold it to me for $5 and a blunt of dank marijuana lol good times

Makes sense
Games like these prove that the games media has been wrong for a long time!
I co-sign on this !

They were fun. I never take the critic word for it . I always have to play on my own

Awesome! There’s a lot of cool skins and such on the game
I play my PS2 often, over 4200 games were released for the system
Be safe bud.. That fire in LA is getting CRAZY 🙏🏻
Thanks B. I’m watch far up north so I’ll be ok
New Subscriber Here!
I think classic games are making a big comeback and It's finally time for the greedy corporations to get what's coming to them.
They are so many classic games out there is a great time to be a gamer ! Thanks for the sub

I remember those rental blues fondly haha. Thanks for the comment
Medal of Honor Allied Assault never released on the PS2. You must be thinking of Frontline or European Assault.
Yes I always mix up the name. It was frontline

A lot of these games are just...ok. And that's fine. :)
Word. I had fun with them
*Takes Notes to throw Stuff onto the PS2*
I liked Superman Returns
I'll have to check that one out!
Nah mercenaries 2 on ps2 is horrible port, well original developer's didn't even make that lazy port xD i love that big lake with all that fog, straight from silent hill
It’s a terrible port and only fun to laugh at lol
Dina Stalker is great with Guncon2 🤘🏻
I figure as much
Dino stalker is a lot of fun with the gun. Predator concrete jungle is an awesome game! I played it a lot back in the day.
Totally need to get a GunCon 2
@BigRetroShow Yeah, luckily, I still have my old TV. Otherwise, I don't think it will work great on newer ones.
I have one in my garage
if you make a part 2 Add Judge Dredd on the ps2. Amazing game with sub par reviews
Thanks for the suggestion. Never played it but will be on the hunt for it now
i always wanted graphics to be better but now i just love these old school games idc how they look
Developers today go over the top now to make their games look retro. ha. We had it all a long with the old consoles
To be honest the hate the terminator 3 game is mostly justified it doesn't help that the movie was not very good & this game is made by the people that made fugitive hunter the worst first person shooter on ps2
Fair points
I'm sorry, did you say Allied Assault? Last I checked, it never left the PC. I think you're thinking of European Assault.
I meant frontline I always get those mixed up
@BigRetroShow Probably because you play as Jimmy Patterson in Frontline, just like the original PS1 game, while you play as Mike Powell in Allied Assault.
I agree with spy hunter
I’m glad I gave it a chance
Concrete Jungle!! 🌴
It’s awesome
thats why user reviews were made
For sure . I never just take the reviewers word for it . I have to see for myself
Stick to Mercenaries (1). The enemy AI in part 2 is bad and way too easy.
Mercs 1 was head and shoulders better
The only game on this list i has back in the day was predator concret jungle lol i got it a blockbuster when they had their going out of business sale the cashier didn't give a f they wanted i think 20 for predator concret jungle he sold it to me for $5 and a blunt of dank marijuana lol good times
haha right on!
Meh, subjective 🤷
totally in the eye of the beholder for sure
