My hero 🦸🏾♂️
Thanks, you too 👍🏼
Not covering the horror genre is definitely disappointing considering how many classics are on the console.
Sh1 to 4 are the best
@@flowrepins6663 and re4, except for the new mechanics that are now normalized or improved on, it was an amazing game on its own that should NOT be skipped!
@@flowrepins6663 A few hidden gems
Rule of rose
Extermination
haunting ground
Unlike todays "horror" I mean rip-off another game genre 2013-current genre. Each of these games featured more than 1 type of horror in the same game including silent hill games. Today's games features circumstantial and common horror tropes like undead and bat-shit crazy every now and then we get something where it's like "The bridge curse" or "visage"
@@johnsimopoulos6739 yeah but the gamecube version is much better and superior. Wouldn't even put that game on this console list.
I still don't understand how both the graphics and the gameplay for Peter Jackson's King Kong for the PS2 completely beat out both the graphics and the gameplay for the new King Kong on the PS5.
Devs didn't even try with the game they also made walking dead destiny's after that
Gameplay I can see but graphically??? Geeez just give me my stellar blade.
They mentioned 2004’s Spider-Man 2 three times!
There were multiple categories...can't name them all, but one was exclusives
I've counted devil may cry 3 4 times so far....
I didn’t know it was a watch mojo channel, i i had known i would’ve never clicked on it…. I hate these guys.
it was just THAT GOOD bro 😂😂😂
Where are racing games? Sports games? Horror games? Fighting games? This list could be much better...
Ik, the system is possibly the pinnacle of horror games.
Racing and sports games are literally some of the most repetitive games. And it’s not like the ps2 era games left an impact enough to be remembered.
The sporting genre is especially bland and the least innovative genre.
@neonprado9989 What about the Tony Hawk games or mx vs atv? Those were the shit.
@@dudemcsprinkleYeah, but you can at least point to some games on PS2 and say "This is the best one in the series", or "This is the best in the genre ever". When it comes to skating though, Skate 3 holds the top spot.
He literally showed spiderman 2 twice 😆 🤣 😆
Too many to name there are thousands of PS2 games
Yes they are. Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter and Sly Cooper are my main favorites 😊❤
@@Jak_The_Eco_Warri0r. games ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was the best playstation that ever been made.
I bought a ps5 but damn nothing comes like ps2
Remaster & Remake, shouldn't be a cash grab but preservation.
@@Jak_The_Eco_Warri0r. Same dude. *Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter and Sly Cooper* are all My Most Favorite Epic PS2 Games from our Childhood Years. Best Epic PS2 Gaming Franchise Masterpieces ever. 😄😁👌👍
Peter jackson king kong
Urban chaos riot response
Spartan total warrior
and the suffering better be on this list
King Kong was groundbreaking. Loved that game
@@cracksuperman easily one of the best games i ever played. Deserving of a remaster or remake.
I am trying to play King Kong on PC, but unfortunately there are so many technical issues. Not only does the game not feel like 60fps, but the current level I am in doesn't play in 1080p. Besides having controller issues, I am forced to play with mouse and keyboard.
@@Mr.Ditkovich. Try it on the ps2 emulator for pc, called PCSX2.
@@kizaruthegreat Just some of the physics in it at the time were like no other game. The spear throwing and shit. So amazing. Definitely needs a remake
Still got my Shadow hearts trilogy
and Koudolka?
@@chisarickd i wish i kept that one
The Van Helsing 2004 movie game deserved to be in best movie tie ins!
Bro...sly cooper and Ratchet and Clank games...they were perfect😭
I liked that you played the To Zanarkand theme quietly in the background. What a lovely song.
A lot of games (mostly RPGs) are mentioned twice.
Whenever you see these lists from watchmojo and they go over the hour mark 95% chance it’s just a bunch of previous top 10s they’ve already done recycled in.
CONTENTMAXXING
I feel like Tales of Symphonia shouldn't count since it was a Japan only release for the PS2 (should have gone to Tales of the Abyss instead)
I may be a FULL BLOWN Nintendo fan girl but I did expand my horizons and played PS2, PS3 and PS4 as well.
Spider-Man 2, the incredible Hulk ultimate destruction, x-men legends 1 and 2 also marvel ultimate alliance
Super hero games lol
"ULTIMATE SPIDERMAN"??
Here are the PS2 games that I remember I had as a kid:
* Ratchet and Clank
* Ratchet and Clank Going Commando (I saw Ratchet and Clank playing a Sly Cooper game)
* Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal (I met Sly Cooper because the demo in this game)
* Jak and Daxter The Precursor Legacy
* JAK II ( or you could say the number 2)
* JAK 3
*Ratchet and Clank Size Matters
* Spyro Enter the Dragonfly
*Crash of the Titans
* Thrillville
* Crash Tag Team Racing
*Kid Next Door: Operation V.I.D.E.O.G.A.M.E
* The Fairly Oddparents Breaking Da Rules
* Pac-Man World 2
* Pac-Man World 3
I think that's all of the games I remember playing but that's about it.
Good list. 👍

Resident evil 4 is so good I would have put it on the list twice too
@@dildonicplague Exactly dude! *Resident Evil 4* is definitely and totally one of THE Best Epic Badass *RE* Games of All Time from our Childhood Years. 😄😁👍👌
It's my favorite game along with Final Fantasy VII and Ocarina of Time
Bro, Capcom Fighting Evolution is actual garbage. I hate that it is too.
@@daddydrax9798 Well, that Game came back in the Trailer of *Capcom Fighting Collection 2* Game. I bet some people besides me loves playing that Game from their Childhood as much as I do
Me: *opening srm 🍻🍻
My steam deck : “please..no more”
Gran Turismo 3 the highest rated in the series?
I think *Gran Turismo 4* might have something to say about that.
Man I forgot about Red Faction. I played that game a lot. So many good games I can’t even remember them all.
I've played so many games from different genres on the PS2, but I have never played a single FPS game on it.
Video has really quiet voiceover but screams at gameplay episodes. And it happens a lot in WatchMojo videos. Can your sound editor review this aspect please?
12:29 is a good example
@38:03 On the other hand Enthusia Professional Racing is heavily underrated.
Speaking of Halo, I remember my first time encountering the Flood in Halo MCC. I literally screamed out loud, making my best friend roll lol. And then I come across the Gravemind in Halo 2 via the Master Chief Collection and all my hairs stood on end from goosebumps, as the Gravemind is sooooo creepy.
Cortana when she saw the Gravemind said, “What... is that?!” And the Gravemind responded, “I? I am a monument to all your sins.”
One of the most memorable moments in all of Halo, outside of the Halo Theme that everyone has done from high schoolers in a bathroom, a man in a tunnel and even Gregorian Monks.
I love first person shooters games 💘😍
where is champions of norrath 1 and 2. those games are better than baldurs gate or most other rpgs. it was game of the month in playstation magazine. i put over one thousand hours into that single player and solo. i like it more than all the diablo games
Kya dark lineage better be on here
GTA Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories are so underrated and forgotten that he didnt even mention them.
The PS2/Original Xbox era was the BEST ERA of Gaming. Today's games with their bugs, clutches Micro-transanctions and Agendas, are a joke!
What a stupid take. Games today that are best (which dictate how good an era is) don’t have micro transactions. Games back then are by all accounts more buggy. As for agendas I can only think of maybe 1 game that’s egregious in that aspect this decade. Take those glasses off pal
@@campbelljamieson2714 This take of yours, that's STUPID! The fact that most developers can't seem to release a game today without a "balance patch" just hours later proves my point, so keep being stupid.
I hope you do the same for Original Xbox. 100 games based on genre, in a two hour video.
Give me Soul Reaver Bully, Gta: San Andreas, and SHADOW of the Collusus anyday.
This is a very good list you also included some hidden gems. I didnt know about some of these rpg games they look nice to try
Where is The Fighting Games for PS2? example
Tekken 5 is in PS2
Virtua Fighter 4
Blooady Roar 3
Dragón Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2 or Dragón Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3
Marvel VS Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes
Martial Arts Videos Games
God Hand
Don't forget Capcom vs SNK 2 and Soul Calibur 2
I was watching this video with some intrest I'm around game 60 but I don't think I'll finish the rest of the video. Because you've done Devil May Cry 3 3 times and you already mentioned Grand Theft Auto trilogy but then you put on Grand Theft Auto San Andreas but you already put on Grand Theft Auto trilogy and you stated you did not want to give any of them more credit than the other then the other.
1:03:16 I been looking for this game since heina era
I always really liked Gun but it never seems to make it on any of these lists.
Resident Evil 4, Midnight Club, Bully, Jak and Daxter and Simpsons Hit and Run were definitely all highlights for me. Also Getaway/Getaway Black Monday
Good night. Go to sleep. Put the phone down and listen. Night night
Now I want to go to sleep.
33:08 that's really cool and cinematic... PS2 was clearly the best system ever.
7/10 video
(Haven’t watched it yet)
the only flaw with the Teen Titans video game is the dated models. Especially, Starfire
This video was enjoyable to watch. Nice job sir.
I was just playing Hulk Ultimate Destruction last night 😅😅
Good god ps2 really had so many good games. We’re so lucky to have experienced that when it was new!
I feel like this is the narrator’s personal top 100 list not based on stats of the most popular ones because I feel there were better games that were way better than half of these that he listed.
I just came to say, shadow hearts had a part two, it was amazing, the wheel isn’t as bad as you think, just when you had to get a discount in the shop and you miss lmao now that’s pain.
The GOATED home console. 👑
I love ps2 . Sick collab thx for sharing.
FFX ... the ending makes me bawl every single playthrough..
Ranking Persona 3 over Persona 4 is criminal
Hi Mojoplays I Hope Those Ps2 Games Gets A Physical Release For Ps4 And Ps5 In The Future
There are some notoriously terrible ports on this list; they are far from being some of the best ps2 games.
❤ Great ps2
Lots of games Masterpiece
No love for original Xbox? Some great hidden gems on there
YO WE GOT TIMESPLITTERS 2 ON THIS LIST!!!
Agreed dragon quest 8 was one best ps2 game all time and you miss one best RPG in my opinion the original .hack games was next to dragon quest 8 and ffx
Why did he repeat games??
Racing category missing
survival horror, fighting and sports are missing too
Do a list like this for ps3
I can't believe he really said that the story for kingdom hearts 2 was easier to follow. I wonder if they even played it. You are a different character half the game and there's all the guys in black robes. Those games are almost impossible to follow
This just brings home how crappy this current generation of gaming has been.
Marvel ultimate alliance is a great superhero game
This video is just a compilation of their ps2 video games lists
The Godfather game hell even Scarface The World is yours should've been included in the movie tie in games at 23:27
I want a new Hulk game like the incredible hulk ultimate destruction
Symphonia is somewhat an odd choice here because it was released on GC, then they released it only in japan for the ps2. Tales of the Abyss would have been the better choice here for the PS2.
You put kingdom hearts on here twice and other games on there twice
No fighting games
To my knowledge BLACK has never been ported of rereleased on future hardware(physical or digital). Mojo need to fact check themselves
Xenosaga was good, Xenogears was epic!! ❤
I could do without the commentary. WatchMojo with their stilted, verbose writing makes everything sound tedious and boring at the same time. I’ll mute it, see if that helps any
We need a new Punisher game
Mafia 3 is pretty much that
Where the f is cold war it's the 2nd best ps 2 fps shooter game 😢 with great graphics and storyline
PlayStation 2 is the most beautiful and powerful home gaming console in history with a lot of games, there's that much of Ps2 games I can't say even over 10 best Ps2 games because I haven't played that much of Ps2 games so I'll list my Top 5 game series on Ps2:
5: The Simpsons: Simpsons The Game and Hit and Run
4: Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic Heroes, Sonic Free Riders and Shadow the Hedgehog
3: Crash Bandicoot: Crash Wrath of Cortex, Crash Twinsanity, Crash Nitro Kart, Crash Tag Team Racing and Crash of the Titans.
2: Ratchet and Clank: 1, 2, 3, Size Matters and Gladiator
1: Sly Cooper: Sly Raccoon, Sly Cooper Band of Thieves and Sly Cooper Honor Amoung Thieves.
I respect that much of your long and well done job Mojoplays. 🎮💙
The getaway and getaway black Monday and gta San Andreas where my go to ps games
37:33 could anyone tell me what this background music is that's playing please? It's beautiful.
It's the beautiful opening theme of the videogame masterpiece Shadow of the Colossus.
Not sure why your reviewing the same games more than once..
Love the video!
Should've added Kessen to this list.
The greatest game of all time ff10 not in top 75 games on the ps2 WHAT
New subscriber
How could u put Jak & Daxter over JAK II?! 🤔
Ultimate Spider-Man
Bro went over the same 20 games 3 different times 😂
No chapters? Really?
The new TimeSplitters game is no longer happening, unfortunately.
HELLO, good video! ♫♪♫♪
Without a title scale this video is not so monumental
Why isn't The Punisher remastered? They could've made a killing 😂
I"m 25 yrs old...so i think i can say games were unique back then ,..much fun ..I never cared about graph..now lot of triple A games are so repetetive ..
Im 29 & also had/have a ps2, totally agree with you, im still disovering new ps2 games to this day, such a great console
You show final fantasy x intro, and then talk about xeno saga? Even keep playing final fantasy's music during the entire thing. The f...?
Did dmc3 straight up just get two seconds😂😂😂
Does anyone at mojo plays do any research? Shadow hearts covenant is the second game in the trilogy
Do Xbox and gamecube next
does anyone know a website where i can download these games
😶🌫😶🌫
Make one for GameBoy Advance!
Where is the godfather game?
Vulture wasn’t in Spider-Man 2
Ace Combat series, SOCOM series, Tokyo Xtreme Racer series, 3xtreme, Armored Core series, The Legend of Dragoon.
Rare Ltd.... should've added that to the Xbox problem as it butchered the best franchises
Final fantasy 10 twice?
