Thank you for mentioning Seek and Destroy! It is such an underrated game and never makes it on a list. My friend and I would play it for hours after school and had a ton of fun with it. He passed away recently in a motorcycle accident and hearing about this game again brings back so many fond memories
Me and my nephew would play it all the time
I'm glad you still enjoyed those memories
Even tho I'm replying to a almost 4 year old comment
Same, man... the memories...
Love that game too I’ve always hung onto this game I like to play a speedy tank light armor and just run circles around enemies haha
6th gen of consoles was the absolute best!!! It's the bridge betwen retro and modern, we all have fond memories of the Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox and Gamecube era
Amen
I think too the hardware spec was a good balance for most developers, what I mean by this is they were easy enough to make games for that most smaller startups could compete with the bigger guys, even just down to graphics, these days the amount of time/money spent just to make something look current is ridiculous, so the barrier to entry is so much higher.
the fact that the PS2 library had so many games by so many companies, really shows this.. so many ideas were made into reality back then too, rather than being shut down for not being profitable enough due to again, that barrier to entry
Exactly, ^ that's one the biggest reasons why the 6th gen will likely never be topped again, and was the greatest era in gaming and I'm willing to write that down as fact. Never again will we have 4 consoles, each with a plethora of unique, creative exclusives plus tons of great multi-platform titles without filthy monetization, it was a wonderful time to play games, you couldn't own just one system.
Well said it peeps. A reason too is why the PS2 is the best selling console ever
@@JollyGiant1213 , the GameCube was okay, but the Wii, though considered by some as a Seventh Generation console, actually has more in common with the other Sixth Generation consoles, so I consider it a Sixth Generation console as well, despite it coming out around 2005 or 2006. Furthermore, the Wii was honestly no slouch either, and it, and the PS2, had a healthy rivalry for a few years before the end of the Sixth Generation of Video Games. Strangely enough, people are STILL making official games (albeit not that many of them, or many good games for that matter) for the Wii to this day.
ps2 is the best console because :
1- huge library of games
2- it plays ps1 games
3- it's a dvd player
I'll 1 up you and say the 60gb PS3 is the best console
ps3 60gb console is the one to choose because it plays ps1, ps2 and ps3 games, if the price is right, otherwise you get ps2 and ps3 slim
candy kid can u save ps1 and ps2 games on the ps3? Thanks
sure, in the memory card utility, there are videos on youtube
The fact that PS2 has it's own game's and the PS1 game's and both have a major collection of Gems enough said.
Man, I miss the days when the PS2 was current. It's seriously my favorite console.
Lets be honest, My fave vids from metal jesus are hidden gem and buying guide 😊
Benqbarbeque mine too
Word, they are how I got into his channel! Absolutely love the pure game videos like this
Pick ups with Reggie vids are sweet too
Thx for being honest?
facts
Ps2 is the time when developer tried some stupid innovative stuffs.
So PISSED I missed that hoop at 4:33 - I must have tried 5 times to nail it LOL
I haven't seen you review it yet, but I still feel like the Extreme G series is ridiculously overlooked. I loved the N64 versions, but the PS2 version (XGRA) was ridiculous fun.
@MJR
I noticed it!
Where’s the shadow of Rome? One of my favorite hidden gems. What’s your opinion?
If you like Nitro Bike, you'll almost certainly enjoy Freekstyle. It's an arcade dirtbike game by EA BIG, same series as SSX and Shox.
I commented on your both new video for a gameplay on PSP shooter/fps
11:31 I used to love this game, that track editor was brilliant! Also it might be the fastest game I've ever played. Hidden Gem indeed! Extreme G3 was also a classic worth mentioning that I adored.
Wtf underrated verified?
I remember having a lot of fun with “Seek and Destroy” and “Dual Hearts”.😀
Now I want that Hulk game.
@Major Gear your best bet would be online, if you haven't got it already
Thanks For all the great content over the years, I love these hidden gem videos and especially the game pickups with Mr nice guy Reggie. Thanks, keep it up.
Glad to see project: snowblind getting noticed. Been playing on the og Xbox. Speaking of which could you do another Xbox hidden gems?
Oh wow, my brother and I really enjoyed Seek and Destroy when we were younger! Probably one of the few games from your Hidden Gems videos that I already own 😆
I also played a bit of that "Road Trip Adventure" you recommended alongside it on my channel here a short while back... that was a pretty hilariously quirky experience, for sure!
Ultimate Destruction is still one of the most fun super hero games ever created. Very few games beat the satisfaction of running around as Hulk and smashing enemies to Oblivion while they scream their heads off.
Indeed
The Hulk game looks really good. Thanks MJR.
Crimson Tears is a great ps2 game if you haven't suggested it.
I have that it is just ok.
The all world: Ey Asterix and Obelix, i love them!
American: Who?
I recently found your channel and I am absolutely hooked! Thank you for sharing your amazing knowledge while allowing the nostalgia to flow naturally. You got yourself a new subscriber!
I'm currently playing through Chaos Legion and that game is still super good. I rented it back in the day and playing it again is so satisfying. Amazing boss battles.
Omg metal jesus, thank you!! Ever since I watched your ps2 hidden gem videos I always thought of that game "extermination" but could never remember what it was called. I use to play that all the time when I was a kid and loved it! Thanks for finally tossing it in a video, so cool to see it again after all these years. Thank you!
Kill.Switch honestly looks a lot more exciting and impactful than most of the recent released games it inspired.
I had a blast capturing the gameplay for this video and replaying the game. It's great!
Lol okay.
Gears of War took Killswitch's cover mechanics, Cliff B has even said so himself.
yea, i'd rather play killswitch over crackdown 3.
Finished it on pc, loved it. Never played gears of war.
I’ve worked on Astérix! Thanks for reminding me of that sweet project :)
I've been waiting for this for years. Never have I clicked one of your videos so fast.
I always enjoyed Marc Eckō's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure. The music fits perfectly with the game and the premise of finding all the hidden spots to “tag” your graffiti is really satifsying, not to mention some beautyful artwork.
I’ve always been a gamer and often bought the newest console but I always ending selling them and buying the older consoles again! There’s something about keeping the retro system and games alive. I bought a Dreamcast a couple of weeks ago and having been smashing deadly skies nearly every night! I’m buying a PS2 next so many absolute classics! Great video 🙌🏼
Incredible Hulk - Ultimate Destruction is one of my favorite games ever made for the ps2
I’ve never heard the bar set lower than: “It’s better than the movie Space Chimps.”
Honestly, I'd say Hidden Gems are games you REALLY should play... Not just "not that bad", but great games that got left behind. Space Chimps definitely looks like a "not that bad" game.
these were very good games
All this hate in the comments. Don't blame MJR for price hikes, blame greedy turds. Blame the people that pay those prices despite knowing they're getting ripped off.
Over half of you complaining weren't going to buy these games anyway, so shut up.
@@rorz999me too, the price only goes up for a short while when people are paying attention, except where the game definitely deserved to be worth more than it cost. Its a short spike af attention, and i really enjoy the videos!
They dont want to buy it anyway cause this games ...Sucks..
Dual hearts is about to spike.
samurai western , skygunner and ghosthunter are still absurd prices and obscure jumped WAY up in price
yeah and it even has " metal jesus rocks hidden jems" in the fing title w/ a $250 bin
Man i loved project snowblind. I wish they would continue this series as well with the legacy of kain/soul reaver series.
I would love to see a remastered Legacy of Kain trilogy.
Have you played the original Deus Ex and Invisible War? If you liked Project Snowblind's style and setting then you'll dig the Deus Ex series. As he said in the video, Snowblind was originally going to be a multiplayer Deus Ex game.
Love these types of videos, use them to help me find games when yard sale season comes by, actually picked up shadow hearts from a suggestion from one of your hidden gems vids (and for a steal of $1 might I add) you rock MJR, glad to see you back making videos after the situation with your basement, they have been missed man
i dont know man....hope we arent confusing "above average" with "gems" now. I agree with Extermination tho. Love ya dude! just playing devils advocate here...
@@JetWolfEX You don't have a ps2 if you don't have an Atlus game, especially SMT: Nocturne.
Crump’s Brother lol
Vexx is a dam good game never been mentioned
Hidden Gems 4... 10 games each... he's literally doing a top 40 collection of games that weren't hits are well known, and you're complaining that in the 31-40 spot the games aren't as good as those he talked about earlier that would be ranked higher...
I just dont think average racing games, a hulk game and a monkey game are "gems" there are just better options out there. He pretty much said the same at the end of the video. It his opinion and this is my opinion. There are better "gems" out there and 7 out of these 10 arent gems
Dual Hearts is amazing! Glad you put it in this video. More people need to know about it. Especially if they grew up with Banjo-Kazooie, Gex and/or Mario 64
I know I've said this before, but I'd like to say again that I find the MJC very non-elitist. You never seem to put anyone down, wherever they may be with gaming. You don't act like gatekeepers, if you know what I mean.
I really appreciate you folks for that!
I loved playing seek and destroy as a kid! Bought it a few years ago again to replay it and it still holds up really well, way shorter than i remembered tho.
new to your channel man! love the content!
Thanks so much!!
Oh man, I've been going crazy trying to remember the name of that tank game so I could buy it again. Was starting to think I remembered it wrong and it wasn't even a ps2 game. Thanks for that!
Ultimate destruction! I've wanted to play that game but totally forgot about it, thanks for reminding me
That's what I'm here for! ;)
I’ve been out of the country for a while and don’t have access to any console games. Watching your vids really scratches the itch while I’m away. Thank you for this series, truly enjoy your videos!
I almost forgot about that hulk game, watched gameplay of it all the time
Also for *dual hearts* i didn't know a game similar to kingdom hearts existed, pretty *awesome*!
"oh boy, here we go.. this is space chimps" made me lol
GOD I HOPE DUAL HEARTS GETS REMADE ONE DAY UHHHHHHHHHH :(
Just ordered Snowblind and Hulk Ultimate right after seeing this vid, both great games I played as a kid but totally forgot about, thanks!
Don't forget *Gregory Horror Show: Soul Collector* ^-^
Project Snowblind was one of my absolute favorites and still one of the few FPSs that I can play for more than five minutes.
Hey! I have the incredible Hulk Ult. Des. Guess it's time to try it out.
Having seen comments on previous videos you are back to your best and listening to your viewers. Fantastic work!
You posted this four hours ago and when I went to go check out Dual Heart on eBay to see if I could add a copy to my collection I saw listings for crazy high prices with this tittle.
“Dual Hearts ps2 (Sony PlayStation 2, 2002) "metal jesus rocks hidden gem" Game collecting is savage. 🙄
It's one moron trying to be funny!
Crazy high prices?... I found bunch on there for like 60 bucks or so... How much did you see them for that were crazy high??
@@jcynavarro 60 bucks for a PS2 game IS crazy high. At least to me it is
Their charging 60 bucks without case that is high priced plus preowned with case its 179.99
Seek and Destroy was so much fun! I remember this as a kid.
WinBack 2: Project Poseidon is a Hidden Gem for the PS2. You are welcome Metal Jesus
Really rare as well
He already had it in another hidden gems video
@@loganpeterson7098 I have plenty... Dog's Life, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, HeatSeeker, Heavenly Guardian, Narc, Rogue Trooper, Shadow of Destiny, Sky Odyssey. Alot more...
I’m so glad I found this channel, I was stuck trying to find games and you named so many for both the ps1 and ps2 that I never knew excised
Lets get on ebay and jack up the prices
Silver Snake hahaha!! Exactly my thinking.
They usually come back down after a couple weeks.
Hi MJR, just wanted to say thank you for helping me get so many great games for my various collections! Awesome stuff!
Scarface the World is Yours. Better than GTA and sooooo underrated. Also Shadow of Rome! Awesome and bloody gladiator fights. I will mention these games every chance I get.
I wouldn't go as far as to say it's better than Grand Theft Auto San Andreas or Vice City, but I remember renting it and played the first part where you lose your mansion. I was hooked and couldn't wait to get home from school to play it, went on to buy it and beat it several times.
Scarface was good but no way it's better then vice city or san Andreas
wazgood23 Gaming San Andreas was awesome when I was younger I tried playing it recently and it’s nowhere near as good as I remember people who think it’s so amazing have nostalgia
@@atcmxz5989 most of these games you play in the past as of right now is for nostalgia only. It doesn't feel the same anymore bro if you play it now. I tried to get back into my old Nintendo games ps1 games couldn't get into them anymore.
Xbox and PC versions are quite good. There is also a quite overlooked Xbox 360 version. That just Black. It is the version you want on Console. Another fun one and overlooked game is Total Overdose. Xbox version and the GOG PC version are the best.
me searching youtube 65 years from now :
Metal Jesus new upload : even MORE hidden ps2 gems !!!
I DO have a running list of about 50+ more PS2 Hidden Gems I could talk about. All for potential future videos ;)
@@MetalJesusRocks we love em !!!!!
Thanks, needed some of my PS2 games to go up in value lol
One very underrated hidden gem on PS2 are the japan-exclusive Metal Slug 3D (2006). That game was great and nobody talk about it. So Sad😢
Awesome!!! Another PS2 Hidden Gems video!!!
Dude these look like amazing games! I wish my town had a used game store! Love these videos.
-Metallix
Haunting Ground it's for me one of the gem for ps2 !! :)
Definitely underrated
I want this game but is a bit pricey.
@@josetakapele I found mine for 15 euros (I live in Europe)
Seriously? Does it even have an English patch?
@@tomstonemale My game is in French but it's okay for me because french it's the language I usually speak not the english ^^
Fantastic Video. Please keep the Hidden Gems videos up, some of my absolute favs to watch.
Quick note that the sequel to Asterix and Obelix Kick Buttix, called XXL 2: Mission Las Vegum, is not only a better game IMO, but it also recently got a remaster on Steam, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch. The console versions are sadly European exclusives, but the Steam version is available worldwide :)
Ah, Copyright Infringement: The Videogame
Seriously though, picked it up recently after watching ToG play it and it is just fun.
Naval Ops Warship Gunner. Solid gameplay but the ability to design your own warships and weapon layouts was really what made this game for me. From destroyers up to double hulled, rail gun battleships.
Love your videos
Me too bro lol.
Thanks so much!!
Also a hidden gem is the godfather for the ps2 this game is so good such a underrated game
Hey man I’m wearing my PlayStation shirt too ‼️
Did you get yours at E3 Expo too? I bought mine at the Sony booth
Asterix and Obelix sure is a hidden gem. Its fun as heck. Got it for $8 at my local swap meet before the price hike on ebay. I can see why its going up so fast.
How are you playing your ps2 games so hi-def?
Component cables rather than the typical composite cables you get with the console
using emulator lol
@@White_Tiger93 MetalJesus doesn't use emulators, lol.
@Major Gear I already know that. If I have the chance I would be playing games off an emulator. But my pc can't handle PCSX2 and even if it did, most of my games are rhythm games. Emulators are notorious for having input lag.
@Major Gear my PS2's lens is very weak too. I just use mcboot and play using the smb method.
Project:Snowblind is AMAZING guys. Buy it 100%.Defintely a hidden gem. Also, i would love a ''ps4 remake/remastered games'' video from you, MetalJesus.
Steambot Chronicles if you haven't bro
Great game,too expensive for most
Love it. Any video with ps2 games is always welcome and i think you should do some more. PS2 is my all time favorite console
hidden games, or "decent games"
Just started getting into ps2, can’t tell you how much I appreciate these videos
When is doubt, Hidden Gem video out.
Kill switch with the blind fire was so memorable! Loved that game.
Dude! I love seek and destroy! I played it all the time when the ps2 was reigning supreme. I'm gonna play it today now. Thanks metal Jesus!
I'd always repeat the second level just to watch the battle, and I did that too many times
Lmao, Seek and Destroy was one of my favorite games. Love that you brought it up.
I think it was probably my first and best game I've ever played, on the ps2 atleast
Wow the price of dual heart is already going up. Check on eBay.
$90 brand new on amazon... can’t be that expensive
@@residentevilclone ye but its temporal only. U need to wait a bit and itll go down, blown up because of video maybe i dont know. It was like with the gpus and the mining, now everything is back to normal. Hopefully this craze wont last that long it took a few months for gpu prices get back to +- normal figures. Anyway as i was reading through here in comments, well many speak of prices going up because of the video, ye sure, there is scum who wants to profit on this, but if ppl are smart and wont buy make a list and check back like in a few months or weeks time, the prices will be way lower. My guess.
I love these videos. There's always so many titles that I would have never heard of, or just overlooked. Never stop doing these!
He stopped.
First of all:
Over 1800 games....................are you sure about that? To my knowledge, the library goes WAY over 1800 games. Maybe over 1800 US releases? Even that seems like a rather low number for a library that in total goes to the multiple 1000s. It has the biggest gaming library to date in terms of consoles after all.
Second of all................maybe include these on the next hidden gems video (without including Japan exclusive games):
- Black and Bruised
- Bomberman Kart
- Bujingai
- Demolition Girl (originally part of the "Simple 2000 Series" in Japan. Its Volume 50)
- Demon Chaos
- Dragon Sisters (originally part of the "Simple 2000 Series". Its Volume 87)
- Everblue
- Everblue 2
- Flipnic
- Growlanser (being "Generations" or "Heritage of War")
- Hot Wheels: Beat That
- Kaido Racer
- Kaido Racer 2
- Kengo
- Legaia 2
- Mercury Meltdown
- Puzzle Quest (originally part of the "Simple 2000 Series".........on the PSP at least)
- Red Ninja
- Robot Warlords
- Soul Nomad
- Steambot Chronicles
- Steel Dragon EX (originally part of the "Simple 2000 Series". Its Volume 37)
- Stella Deus
- Stuntman Ignition (Its also on the PS3)
- Taxi Rider (originally part of the "Simple 2000 Series". Its Volume 48)
- Tokyo Xtreme Racer
- Trapt
- Zombie Virus (originally part of the "Simple 2000 Series". Its Volume 95)
- Zombie Zone (originally part of the "Simple 2000 Series". Its Volume 61)
I think your right about just the US releases... Wikipedia is showing 2566 world wide.
That is correct. However, that list is far from being complete.
Example, try to find "Dragon Sisters" on that list. You wont find it. Try to look up for the "Simple 2000 Series" on that list and you will only find 21 games from that series even tho there are 170 games from that series (at least 71 of those were released outside of Japan including the start of the "Onechanbara" series and even "Earth Defence Force").
The "Simple 2000 Series" is just an example, there are way more missing from that list.
Another example that isnt part of the "Simple 2000 Series": "Psyvariar Complete". That game isnt on that list either.
Look at the list of "GameFaqs". The list shows 100 games per page (62 pages total). Sure, inlcuded in that list are games that were canceled but if we count those out (lets make 1000 games canceled) and include that page 62 doesnt have 100 games listed, we are looking at around 5000 games or so worldwide.
Thats why i find it a bit hard to believe that only over 1800 games were released in the US. But dont know, maybe there were just slightly over 1800 games released in the US.
But still, the games that i pointed out in my original comment, maybe there is something in there that you might consider to be a "hidden gem", personally i consider every single one to be a hidden gem.
Totally agree about Demon Chaos (Ikusagami), which is by far the most impressive game I've played on the PS2. Its developers are technical geniuses.
Wow dude! Pretty informative and holy crap I never knew there was so much into PS2 collecting! What an awesome topic to dive into!!
Oh dude, the PS2 library is massive, there are so many games on there to make your head spin. The best list i could ever find with (seemingly) all PS2 games was on Wiki.pcsx2 (but GameFaqs is a good way to go too) and they list 4999 games total..............and i could bet there are still some missing.
Finally a hidden gems video where I know some games in it! Especially Project: Snowblind and The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. both of which were great games back in the day.
these games are gonna go up in price lol
Not his fault.
And?? Did you plan on buying one of these games.
Hello all , I’m a new subscriber from United Kingdom 🇬🇧 and loving your channel !!!
Thank you so much!!
Retro scene is a little limited over here compared to the states we have ebay and second hand shops but we are very entertained with you and your crew . You or crew have never reviewed or even mentioned the Sinclair zx spectrum ? In Britain from 1984 it was massive any chance of a video please ??
Fair to say PS2 has the most hidden gems? I know I’ll have to check out Dual Hearts, that looks my speed.
I’ve had Seek and Destroy on the shelf for awhile. Time to break it out.
More inflationary gems videos.
First time i hear someone say Extermination it's a hidden gem. I remember buying it and playing the shit out of it when i was younger. If I'm not mistaken i still have it.
Here come the price spikes. Thanks
Here comes the snowflakes.
Here comes the fanboys..
@@SteveVedder122 I have no problem using emulators, but PCSX2 drives me nuts trying to get the games to work properly. Wish someone smarter than I could get it running just as good as Dolphin.
Even thought about just buying a PS2NetBox, and being done with it.
So we're supposed to not talk about games we like because some greedy assholes increase prices? Fuck that and fuck them. Don't let ebay turds hold you hostage.
@@SteveVedder122
like there are any changes in the graphics between PS2 and PCSX2??
i don't remember it with GTA Vice City Stories.
And setting up controls really is a pain in the ass.
Also, you need a good PC to support it.
THANK YOU METAL JESUS.
I've been thinking of parts of "Project: Snowblind" for the longest time and trying to remember what game it was. I kept remembering certain weapons and locations but could never think of the game.
You have saved me. Thank you.
I have just invested in a ps2 slim and started collecting some of my old favourites, found your channel and it has been very helpful in reminding me of some of the glorious games from that era :) Liked and subbed. I have just paid a ridiculous amount of money for Shadowhearts and Shadowhearts: Covenant but I don;t care, there are two of my all-time favourite RPGS :)
Nice!
The Incredible Hulk UD and Rampage +Resident Evil 4 are my best PS2 games ever
This is the first video I've ever seen even mentioning Seek And Destroy! My brother and I played right through that So Many Times!!! We also would have massive multiplayer battles together and stuff. Its so fun!
Hi, Metal Jesus!
Have you played "The Red Star"? It's a brawler + shmup game, I think you would love it. It's great!
PS2 has a ton of hidden gems. Gaming developers seemed more genuine with their games because once it’s released that’s it no DLC. Thanks for these hidden gem vids man.
thanks for mentioning the Incredible Hulk, I used to rent it all the time from my blockbusters and I had forgotten the name of the game but this reminded me! I’m going to have to buy it now!
So, idk if it's because I watched this late at night or without my glasses but I originally read "seek and destroy" as "beef jerky derby"
Road Trip is one of my favourite games of all time.
It is better than seek and destroy IMO
Oh man Seek and Destroy was my childhood, found that sucker in a now defunct dvd store and it's still one of my favs
Everywhere Road Trip is an amazing game. You have gigantic overworld to explore and really fun RPG elements that are really satisfying every time you upgrade your car.
So ready for another video of ps2 hidden gems. Picked up a couple games today I've never seen! Under The Skin & Ruff Trigger.
I bought the Gamecube version of Inredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction when it came out and still love returning to it.
