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.

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 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.
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
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.
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?
Emulating the PS2 games on a PC with higher resolution graphics configured is one of the most satisfying things in gaming history. It's nostalgia with high quality.
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
@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...
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
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.
@@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 😅
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.
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.
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.
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.
ONI was fun as hell. i remember i had the demo on PC, and then i saw it for PS2 and had to buy it and glad i did. that game has so many cheats that its just fun to mess around with everything. you can literally change everything!!! when you change characters you gain their move set. you can have different actors in cutscenes, and you dont need action replay or gameshark for this. its all in game when games actually were fun lol
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.
As a gamer, who owns looney tunes back in action, I suggest you don't play this game, unless you like a challenging collectathon game. In order to fight the final boss, you need to collect literally everything in this game, and those "things" are endless and super hard to find! Besides that, I don't even think the game's that good! There are plenty of better games out there.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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 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
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!
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!!!!!"
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.
@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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! 👍
you unlocked a memory with i-ninja. completely forgot about it then as soon as you showed it i instantly remembered playing it and enjoying the hell out of it
No one lives forever is a masterpiece ❤️ incredible game Ahead of its time I still have my copy,but the game needs a remaster And Kya,well....i hate people that sleep on this masterpiece, I don't have enough words to describe how good game Kya is,and fighting system is epic
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!
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
No mention of Pirates The legend of Black Cat in my opinion 1 of the most underrated games on ps2 you could explore different island, find treasure, fight pirates,banshees, skeleton warriors, upgrade your ship and have great ship battles. I still love to play it even now. It's also on the original Xbox 😄
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 ❤️
PS2? 😆 I don’t own any console games but I’ve played those two games on the thumbnail. (No one lives forever & Oni) No wonder I can’t find them again. Oh also played Bloodrayne too.
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.
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.

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
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 like this 1
Oni PS2 is awesome
Kya is pretty good too

I have baroque on my phone. It was over 3 gb. But it works at 60 fps
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

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

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.
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 !
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.
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??
Its on ps5 now
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.
Bloodrayne is a pretty forgotten game though.
Radiata stories is one of my favorite ps2 game of all time
I loved it. I wish I could play it again.
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.
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
I actually completed Oni a few days ago on my PS2.
Loved it.
Best console ever and best era of games. When every game felt fresh an new, and producers experiment with a lot of new ideas
Darkwatch is an amazing FPS!

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.

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
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 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.

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! 👍
you unlocked a memory with i-ninja. completely forgot about it then as soon as you showed it i instantly remembered playing it and enjoying the hell out of it
OMG !! No one lives forever being mentioned, which makes me so happy !! That game is a literal hidden gem, especially the first one
No one lives forever is a masterpiece ❤️ incredible game
Ahead of its time
I still have my copy,but the game needs a remaster
And Kya,well....i hate people that sleep on this masterpiece, I don't have enough words to describe how good game Kya is,and fighting system is epic
Props for including Urban Reign
Urban Chaos: Riot Response, to be honest, it was unexpectedly pretty 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!
Urban Reign was such a good game. I remember loving the fact they included Paul and Law!
Kya Dark Lineage is such a fantastic game. Great combat, movement and some cool surfin/skating elements to it also
so anyone else played Primal or Legaia 2? those were good ones for me.
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
Psi-ops was amazing fun. You could unlock MK Scorpion too!
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 never hear anyone ever talking about the adventures of Lomax. Such a good game.
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
No mention of Pirates The legend of Black Cat in my opinion 1 of the most underrated games on ps2 you could explore different island, find treasure, fight pirates,banshees, skeleton warriors, upgrade your ship and have great ship battles. I still love to play it even now. It's also on the original Xbox 😄
I played MDK 1 as a kid. Had no idea there was a 2nd. Absolutely underated game. I know what im goin to play soon
I had psi ops loved it
Played both NOLF games, but on PC.
NOLF and ONI is my fav childhood games. Played so many times
No one lives forever was the first game I had for the ps2 the memories
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 ❤️
I never got a chance to play Dead or Alive 2, Haunting Ground & Twisted Metal 4.
Bloodrayne was so good. I was addicted to that game.
Oni was my JAM!
Wow seeing Whiplash and the Snoopy vs Red Baron gameplays really sent me back in time
PS2? 😆
I don’t own any console games but I’ve played those two games on the thumbnail. (No one lives forever & Oni)
No wonder I can’t find them again.
Oh also played Bloodrayne too.
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.
wow amazing I had not heard of many of those games, great research, thanks for the great video!
Si happy to see Oni get some recognition!
Cel Damage Overdrive was a fun little cartoon reality demolition derby game that also got a port to PS4.
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.
Oni definitely deserves a remake
Mission Impossible Operation Surma. The Soundtrack kicked ass and it is a heavily underrated game in the Mission Impossible game line.
- The Suffering 1 & 2
- Cold Fear
- Second Sight
- Dead to Rights
I’m upset Dark Cloud and Dark Cloud 2 aren’t on here, but I guess that also means it got the attention it deserved
DarK Cloud 1 was actually a Greatedt Hits game, meaning it sold extremely well.
Psi ops reminded me on Second sight
Good old times😊
2 of my favorites on Pc
Urban reign looks fire! 🔥
Oni, I Ninja, and Beyond Good and Evil were my first PS2 games I played.
One of my favourite PS2 games was Panzer Front Ausf B
Seems the US never got this Panzer Front game, so I'm interested
@@brucefields7009thats a shame but you may be able to find a copy on Ebay
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.
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.
psi ops is one of my most favorite games of all time.
i got seek and destroy but havent played it yet
Mention of No-One Lives Forever makes me happy ^_^
Granted i had both on PC and really wish they could be remastered.
Damn rumble racing, Im shocked to see that bad boy on the list. Nothing but good memories with that game as a kid. Highly recommend.
