I-Ninja is Playstation 2 Game what no one Probably Never Playet becauze I haven't Anyone to Play that Game Here on RUclips or even Twitch. 🥷🏻
Ambulance 🚑 vs Zombies
I don’t hear many people talk about Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction, which is a real shame. It looks like a GTA knock of set in North Korea, but it’s actually a fantastic 3rd person shooter with a fantastic open world, lots of weapons to play with, tons of cool vehicles,and a fully destructible world. You play as a mercenary, who is charged with taking down a dictator, and his 51 henchmen, represented by a deck of cards. You’re given an objective, how you complete it is totally up to you.
I would like see you guys do more videos on the gamecube and OG xbox
guitar hero 1. most folks only know about part 2 because it came to xbox but part 1 was ps2 exclusive
Does Anyone Remember Knockout Kings (1998-2003) ??? I know people remember Fight Night (2004-2011)
Just got 2003 and I like it, it’s a lot of fun.
Fight Night, yes
Knockout Kings, no
Loved Knockout Kings
Yes KO Kings used to have me cryingg😂😂😂😂😂
Knockout kings 2000 was my jam! I'd turn off DQ and just low blow my way to victories
Oni was so good!! I'm honestly shocked it sold so poorly. Maybe the marketing just wasn't there. I had only ever heard about it because my uncle owned it.
I loved playing that game, loved how they took inspiration from Ghost in the Shell, that game was truly unique, Bungie had plans for a sequel that never saw the light of day
I like this 1
Oni PS2 is awesome
Kya is pretty good too
I never played it, there was always so many (like way more than any other) copies of it in the used section of my local games store. I just assumed it must be a bad game.
I-Ninja and Metal Arms are the most overlooked game ever. So glad to see this on this list. Great list overall!
You have great taste. I own a copy of metal arms PS2
Without Roadkill, I never would have meet my best friend because of it.
We literally became friends because with both found out we had Roadkill during class back in the 4th grade, along with 2 others.
To this day
We are still best friends
I've played Nightshade, the No One Lives Forever games, Metal Arms: Glitch in the System, and Oni and they were awesome.
Nightshade was great! I have the game but I still haven't finished it yet.
I also played Oni,it was a great game.
I owned it for a short time and didnt finish it. I regret not following through but I was too invested into Kingdom Heart. @@richardsussens490
PS2 had a LOT of underappreciated games.
Mad Maestro! was a rhythm game that went in for classical music. Why no one wants to touch that genre with a ten meter cattle prod, despite a huge catalog that would cost nothing to license, is beyond me. I'll see your "Through the Fire and the Flames," and raise you one "1812 Overture."
Baroque was an unapologetically tough post-apocalyptic roguelike. It was weird, it was wonderful, and I miss it.
G1 Jockey 3 got a Western port, and this was all about the racing, the horses, and the characters. You'd think a horse racing RPG-light would be a snoozer, but you'd be wrong.
As a person that is both a fan of metal, as well as classical, music, Dragonforce simply is a much more complex version of even the most complex of classical music, and, were they to have existed at the time when classical music existed, then their songs would be among the most complex of classical music songs that were ever made. Basically, think of the most complex classical music that was ever composed, and dial that to 11, and that is Dragonforce.
@@paxhumana2015 Not saying Dragonforce is in any way bad. I'm just saying that, in a theoretical classical music video game, conducting the "1812" would make for one heck of a "final boss" kind of piece (which is the basis for my comparison). 15 minutes long, bells, artillery, and even a choir, depending on the arrangement...it's a lot to keep straight.
Gamers don't have fifteen minutes to spare for a single piece, so this theoretical game would focus on shorter pieces like, say, Pachelbel's Canon, or Mountain King, or Fanfare For the Common Man.
See what I'm getting at?
I have baroque on my phone. It was over 3 gb. But it works at 60 fps
I remember playing Oni back in the day. The combat mechanics were legit amazing. My favorite move is you run towards the enemy, grab his head while jumping, using your momentum and centrifugal force to twist his head 360 degrees. 3:p
I really enjoyed Oni,it is a very cool game.
Best thing was the cheat to change to a different character you could try all the enemys out with their own movesets
@daveschnee9249 even better is the many new characters we added to the game. Check out Oni Anniversary Edition, look it up. You can see several videos of the custom character and other mods for the game on my channel if you like.
Runing Lariat.
Please look up Oni Anniversary Edition and see the many additions the Oni comments has done to the game. You can also check my channel to see many of the mods and improvements we made for it. New levels, characters, weapons, textures, animations...
@@daveschnee9249right, you remember the android you could play as, I think his name was Mukade, he had some interesting attacks, same with Muro, Konoko's brother
Oni, next to Max Payne and Tiberian Sun, was the most played game by me in early 2000's.
Each time Oni is mentioned anywhere, I'm always shocked that someone else than me remembers this game.
I couldn't remember the title but it was my first game on PS2. I'm so happy I saw it on the thumbnail
Oni was my SHIZ-NIT lmao played that game through multiple times! had no idea what the story was about but it was a blast to play
@magikcut3090 I'm in the same boat lmao. I have no idea what the plot is but I was having a grand ass time playing it.
@@magikcut3090 I had played it soooo many times, I've memorize the plot so much that after over 20 years I, on the spot, remember what Oni was all about 😅
@@BlackAlpha1look up Oni Anniversary Edition. You won't regret it.
I'll never tire myself saying Ghosthunter was my best unknown PS2 game experience to date u.u
Was that about a guy who had a kinda ghost blaster? There was a swamp and an old house??
why is bloodrayne here? it was multiplat and pretty popular
Every video game is known for "gamers" ( almost ) These type of videos are 90% klickbait with tags like " hidden gems , underrated , probably never played etc " . All about making another video for views.
Mercenaries - Playground of Destruction, Wild Arms 5, Urban Chaos: Riot Response... All criminally underrated and without their due popularity.
Mercenaries was also on the OG XBox. I would literally play that game for days at a time.
There will probably never not be a time where I won't play Mercenaries. I have two copies of that game and will never sell my PS2 because of it... And Freedom Fighters
Loved Mercenaries back in the Day. Awesome Game
@@shogunn2517Freedom Fighter is an underrated Gem!
Mercenaries is such an awesome game, would love for a studio to pick it up and remaster or remake it
Radiata stories is one of my favorite ps2 game of all time
Does anyone remember "War of the Monsters?
Sure do. My big brother and I would always play that game when we were kids. He would also kick my ass with that Robo-47 monster and its Atomic missile, but it was fun.
BloodRayne and it's sequel were so good and Rayne is such a fun protagonist. The West could never create a character like that in the 2020s, if the twitter backlash against Stellar Blade is anything to go by.
Speaking of redheads, my choice for this list would be Drakan: The Ancients' Gates.
Oni was far more than a fun combat game, it also was used for inspiration in designing the oni faction within halo
Im so glad Urban Reign got a mention. VERY under rated. Different fighting styles. Like a Tekken but in a arena battle.
yakuza before yakuza......
Its not just underrated ( which is not true since everyone loved that game) , but its indeed rare to actually find it used !
I actually completed Oni a few days ago on my PS2.
Loved it.
Anyone remember Mister Mosquito?
Yeah. I wished I'd have bought it before it blew up online for purchase.
@@lonewolffangI bought a huge lot of Ps1 and PS2 games from the flea market a couple months ago, and mr. Mosquito was one of the games. I never heard of it before I got it.
@@michaelmeyer4682 Nice.
Urban Reign has a phenomenal and technical brutal fighting system. Wall flips, wall grabs, sweeps, specials and throws. It's phenomenal
Probably my favorite fighting game along with Def Jam: Fight for NY
Best console ever and best era of games. When every game felt fresh an new, and producers experiment with a lot of new ideas
I've recently played Kya: Dark Lineage again. The fighting and platform mechanics still hold up imo. It's a shame that the lack of a dynamic story and a seemingly endless amount of 3D platformers in that era kept that game from getting the attention it deserves.
wow amazing I had not heard of many of those games, great research, thanks for the great video!
Snoopy looks like a fine game, I've played Bloodrayne and Oni, good games. No one lives forever I've heard of but the rest is unknown to me.
Nobody ever mentions the mostly linear rpg Draken, And The Ancient Gates. Great airborne dragon riding combat, neat magic casting function where you draw in the air with the analog stick, archery, small and heavy melee weapon builds, lots of weapons and armor, various enemy types, female lead character, interesting story, multiple world climates... I really miss that game.
Just here to comment that no one lives forever was really great at the time. Sequel unfortunately pc only, so i‘ve never played it.
The Sequel is even better!
I've been wanting remaster/ remakes of Psi Ops, Whiplash, Metal Arms, Urban Reign, Dr Muto, Overlord, crash Bash just to name a few
I have Dr. Muto.
@@paxhumana2015 it's such a fun game, I still have both PS2 & Xbox games, I may have to jump on it 😂

great list alot of games i never heard of so im going to need to pick up. ps2 days largely missed as was 17 - 25 then and got abit busy for gaming then picked back up at 25 and in my 40s love gaming more than ever now
Wow, i legit had seek & destroy and also oni.
I actually didn’t even remember owning Oni , so shout out to you guys for unlocking a memory
SEEK AND DESTROY!!!!! Idk how many times ive beat this. Love it
Fun fact: MDK 2 was made by Bioware, their last game that wasn't an RPG.
Anyway, I believe a ton of these games simply lived under the shadow of Ratchet & Clank.
MDK is better
I got ONI from my parents for Christmas. I really wanted Max Payne, but they could not get it here in Slovakia at that time. So they got me ONI. What a blast of a game no one never knew about around me it was. Really great game. This is literally the first time i heard someone mention it in this time. Thank you for bringing it up.
some really good choices. i-ninja was fun, metal arms kinda reminded me of ratchet and clank. grim grimoire looks as beautiful today as it did so many years ago.
Darkwatch is an amazing FPS!
I bought a used PS2 with 4 games; The Suffering, Metal Arms, Gran Turismo and RE4 about 20 years ago. Had so much fun, I didn't sleep for days!
I remembered. Playing both Sufferings, Urban Reign, Red Star, Max Payne, Time splitters 1-3, Killzone, Deads to rights, Time crisis 2-3, Black, Freedom fighters, GTA, XIII, Onimusha, Killswitch, and killer 7. Amazing games
Now Kya; we owned. I even finished the game! I really enjoyed Kya, and I really was hoping for thy sequel where we save her brother.
Yes, we did play I-ninja, it was funny, exciting, and pretty challenging all in one game, I especially loved the dialogue because he was so cute and a little bit edgy, like when he would yell "I-ninja!!!!!"
duuuuuude whiplash! I used to have this sacred copy that I would hang onto any time we moved or anything. it stayed with me. the case looked like it got ran over by 50 cars. sick game.
I wish more people played the Warriors, that game had no business being that good. Playing co-op then was a total blast
Some of the games are games from my childhood that I have played, for example I Ninja, Snoppy vs Red Baron, and Rumble Racing. All three games are really fun and great to play! 👍
I played NOLF on the PC when it first released, which is the superior and the original version. I keep hoping Monolith Studios, which are still in business, revives the franchise and makes NOLF 3. Cate Archer deserves a comeback!
Surprised Kya's on the list. I enjoyed getting the 100% of that.
MDK2 is a seriously hidden gem. I loved that game so much and played through multiple times back then even on harder difficulty levels. The concept of saving one hero by the hand of another who have been kidnapped afterwards by the aliens was a great experience of this sequel of MDK came out in the 90s. Nonetheless, we could also play 2 extra characters with their own unique playstyle and oh god, the dialogue is GOLDEN! MDK3 will just never gonna happen as much as I see this game. No chance regarding that, no matter how great of a successor it was in my childhood.
Chaos Legion, Freedom Fighter, Black, Metal Slug
I'd settle for No One Lives Forever being released on Steam or GOG, but apparently the rights to the games have gotten so involved in corporate acquisitions and mergers that it's unclear who owns them. Nightdive Studios tried to do a remake of the games like they have for System Shock and other games years ago and even got their hands on the source code, but couldn't get the license settled.
Literally just download it...
I've been on and off playing an extremely rare JRPG called Baroque. The first game had very bizarre visuals and characters compared to the re-release, which boasted a more "anime" visual approach, but all still the same premise and game mechanics. I highly recommend anyone to check it out.
Lol funny how the first game you place on the list is one if my favorite childhood games. Me and my cousins would be up all night passing the controller because it was so hard back then
NOLF and ONI is my fav childhood games. Played so many times
Props for including Urban Reign
There was a point I was convinced I was the only person on earth to play Kya. Thank you for covering this hidden gem I poured so many hours of my life into ❤️
OMG !! No one lives forever being mentioned, which makes me so happy !! That game is a literal hidden gem, especially the first one
Wow seeing Whiplash and the Snoopy vs Red Baron gameplays really sent me back in time
Thanks for this video man! Quite a good list! I've played Urban Reign till the end, around 100 stages, unlocking all characters, there's even Paul and Law from Tekken, I wished they had Kazuya and others in this but the roaster is quite nice, playing with a friend in coop or versus compensated the game being repetitive!
I completed Oni but on pc, bought a magazine that had the game in a cd. Many pc games were sold cheap in this format, had a few of them. The gameplay was pretty good but guns were not worth using most of the time, also the scenarios seemed too simple.
I do wanna recomend a few games, one is Growlanser Generations, a tactic rpg with the marvelous art of Satoshi Urushihara, i don't see this game receiving the proper love it deserves. Silpheed The Lost Planet is a nice shoot em up, also finished but i did not find that hard compared to other games of this genre, even had a decent story line! There's a few more games but i just don't recall right now, the PS2 library is quite large, we're sure to find more hidden gems!
I didn't knew about this Grim Grimoire, quite interesting game, going to check it out! Thanks again!
I played so much No One Lives forever on pc as a kid. Finally picked up the ps2 version on clearance in 2005 . Also know everyone one of these. Usually we're in the $2-10 range for games I'd pick up at gamestop.
Cel Damage Overdrive was a fun little cartoon reality demolition derby game that also got a port to PS4.
Great video❤
Primal is another one that most people haven't played that was pretty good. It was basically the predecessor to the modern Sony movie game like Last of Us and God of War.
Ghosthunter by the same dev is pretty underrated too.
One can argue the same thing for the Rygar reboot for the PS2 as well.
Ah Back in Action really takes me back. Enjoyed that game and was a riot to play.
I was just reminiscing about Oni a few days ago. Got to the end but never beat it though.
psi ops is one of my most favorite games of all time.
i got seek and destroy but havent played it yet
I saw acopy of Snoopy vs the Red Baron at a place that sold used books, games and movies. I didn't get it right away and when i went back a few days later, it was gone. Good grief.
I loved the game Oni. It was one of the first games I bought for my PS2 and, given the chance, I would play that game again.
Psi-ops was amazing fun. You could unlock MK Scorpion too!
Urban Reign was such a good game. I remember loving the fact they included Paul and Law!
Mention of No-One Lives Forever makes me happy ^_^
Granted i had both on PC and really wish they could be remastered.
so anyone else played Primal or Legaia 2? those were good ones for me.
I remember MDK. My brother use to get PC magazines in the 90s that had the demo on it and I remember my Grandparents had a brand new state of the art PC at the time & it was the only way we had to play it lol.
Si happy to see Oni get some recognition!
Oni, I Ninja, and Beyond Good and Evil were my first PS2 games I played.
i've played 4 from that list, Rumble Racing, Bloodrayne, Urban Reign and Grim Grimoire
i think i have a copy of kya somewhere in my multiple cd binders, loved the crap out of i-ninja and psi op's, and just ordered that loony toons games. maybe they'll do a triple pack remaster one day with the 2 from the ps1, and this one from the ps2 also?
For me, Chaos Legion was a pretty cool game overshadowed by Devil May Cry. It had its faults. Hard mode had some enemies that were just stupidly spongy, but I liked it a lot. It was very frustrating, because I remember a review at the time from one of the big sites being 'Its too easy' when they obviously played on easy difficulty, due to some of the things they complained about being more of situations associated with easy mode.
I did play Urban Reigns plenty of times, but I haven't played the rest. Some of them are on my list.
Oni was that work ❤❤ and the holographic cover was cool asf
Kings field 4 was a game I loved that was completely dumped on in reviews when it came out that honestly now is a really good game. You move like a slug but the atmosphere is absolutely brilliant.
The Mark of Kri.
You play as a Polynesian warrior out for revenge for the destruction of his tribe.
The animation reminds me of Don Bluth and the gameplay predates the Arkham series. By moving the right analog stick, each opponents will have a symbol of the face buttons. So you can fight different enemies at once.
Loved that game when it came out and brought it again on the ps store. Hope I can still access it.
Played both NOLF games, but on PC.
I loved Oni, though it was very creepy and hard as a kid.
It was the closest to Ghost of the Shell, I felt back then.
I couldn't handle Oni's LONG load times. That cover art is so badass though.
Whiplash and The Operative: No One Lives forever. Wow, I played those games when I was really young. I didn't even remember their names until now.
MDK is the greatest series that never got a chance. From fantastic writing, goofy levels, and great set pieces it truly deserved better than it got.
This Bungie fan boy played Oni. Pathways to Darkness, Marathon and the first two installments of Myth were my favorite games in high school. Was pretty devastated when they sold out to MS. Haven’t been the same since, while Halo still had some of the magic it was clear the visionaries had cashed out and left. Valuable life and why it doesn’t piss me off anymore when a company sells out. We already lost the best of them in 00.
I did play Graffiti Kingdom a lot as a kid.
Anyone remember the Shadow Hearts series? They introduced me to Lovecraftian concepts and rpg mechanics. The second one is especially good
Grim Grimoire is excellent! It doesn't look it, but it actually plays similarly to Starcraft, in fact a developer cited Starcraft as one of his influences. The original PS2 version did have some slowdown issues when things got chaotic, but there's a PS4/5 remaster out now, so just get that version!
I had psi ops loved it
Radiata Stories. I hold out hope that it gets remade/remastered, but it is one of my favorite games of all time, easily one of the most unique J-RPGs on the PS2
Urban Chaos: Riot Response, to be honest, it was unexpectedly pretty good
I grew up playing ONI, that game is a gem, if anyone finds a copy, I implore you to play it, sure the system if gameplay is old and doesn't hold up like it used to, but the fighting aspect made it work
Watch this Oni gameplay on aethersx2 emulator on android ruclips.net/video/nmkyXVmnUgA/видео.htmlfeature=shared
I need more people to know about S.L.A.I. (Steel Lancer Arena International). It’s my favorite mech game ever, even with all the Armored Core games out there. Build your own mech, compete in different cities around the world, and listen to awesome music while you’re doing it.
I remember playing Whiplash on Jampack such good times.
actually remember back in action(find cool a lot of the deleted scenes where used that more film games should've done as i'd love another console looney tunes game like this as i loved playing it at my school's book fair finding it just as underrated as the film.),bloodrayne,urban reign(loved tekken force and remember this for paul/law's guest appearance alongside it being compared to capcom's beatdown fist of vengeance.),graffiti kingdom(remember it for reimu from touhou's cameo.:3) .
& snoopy vs. the red baron(wish more peanuts games got made as i was interested in a game based off those dogfights/loved a few of the peanuts games.).
oni/gregory horror picture show(got introduced seeing it on capcom's consumer chronicles that alongside capcom friendly club introduced me to so many of their great series.:3) looks fun & whiplash sounds like a concept for a ren and stimpy game.
The operative no one lives forever was a gem! First played it on pc when I was little at my sisters boyfriends place and it was one of my first fps. It did seem better on PC I would LOVE for it to have an update
i remember playing oni on pc. was pretty good for it time.
Bloodraine is so fun!!!!! Didn’t realize it was that underrated
I'm pretty sure that when i got my PS2 it came with Oni, along with Gran Turismo 3, so i thought it would have shipped more copies than it did, although i am in the UK, also it may of just been a promotion from the shop i bought it from
Grim Grimoire is a great game! It's still original and interesting. At the I've played it I saw the game as a "2D side scrolling Warcraft".
Urban reign looks fire! 🔥
@mojoplays, fun fact, Seek and Destroy (which is also the title of a classic song by Metallica, by the way), is actually a part of the Choro Q franchise, which began with the game that is called City Connection (and is now also the name of the successor video game company to the old video game/mega-conglomerate company that was called Jaleco). The Japanese name of the game translates to True Combat: Choro Q, so, yes, the English name of the game is a lot better. Also, in my list of my own twenty good picks for the PS2, I mention a few good war based video games that are criminally overlooked as well. Finally, Seek and Destroy/True Combat: Choro Q reminds me of a more primitive version of World of Tanks. I also mentioned two other games that were in the franchise that also got NTSB-U releases as well in my Honorable Mentions list, namely, Gadget Racers/Choro Q HG, and Road Trip/Choro Q HG 2.
Simpsons Hit and run, psi ops, the godfather, Scarface the world is yours, Scooby Doo night of 100 Frights
Night of a 100 frights used to kick my butt when i was younger but i was IN LOVE!
@@vjjames5769 for me was the awkward platforming. It brought back memories playing it again
@@GJPGAMESvideos 😭😭 the fisherman's village the roof 😭😭 OH DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE GARDEN 🤣🤣 but honestly I feel that
