10 Best PS2 Games That Are Always IGNORED

[@lefata]

I loved this era of gaming because it was a time when no one had a winning formula and everyone was trying new and innovative mechanics and styles to stand out.

[@devinvez3869]

Many are just too clunky for me to enjoy today. I still appreciate them along with n64 era

[@beefcheese3395]

I feel like they figured it out at the end of ps1 with Tekken 3 and Metal Gear Solid. They figured out what worked and then transitioned which some is still felt to this day. Parappa the Rappa ultimately became guitar hero. Every Espionage game now is pretty much from Metal Gear solid. Resident evil lead to every other survival horror game which lead to PS making stuff like Onimusha. I'm honestly not sure whats out there now as I stopped gaming past ps2 but I found really great games to be few and far between on ps1 but when they were good...man they were good. I still don't think anything can top the first Metal Gear Solid.

[@TXFDA]

God, yeah. I mean sure, some games stuck to familiar things. But there were so many games trying to do their own thing at the time. Pretty much early 360 days and before, people still tried to be unique with their games (not everyone, but still). Nowadays, most game releases are the exact opposite. With most companies just doing the "popular thing" to try and get fast money, while every so often a fun and unique game pops up.

Anyone remember “Mercenaries”?

[@maddoxt08]

yes. only Just Cause games come close to this gameplay

[@biblicaladrian6007]

And World in Flames

[@ericguillen6712]

Yup one of my favorites. Too bad the 2nd one was ass.

[@RyderRazor]

Mercernaries was so good

[@1beatcher]

OH NO YOU DIDN'T!

[@zoinks7014]

I've always felt that rockstar's "the warriors" game was an under appreciated brawler, the combat felt very arcade-y but really heavy hitting as enemy's would become all bloodied and bruised the longer you fought them. I particularly enjoyed the mechanic were if you commanded your gang members to attack while you had an enemy grappled or if you attacked while your gang had someone grappled you'd perform these really brutal double takedowns with varying animations depending on which weapon was being used.

[@hayp7295]

Was a great game, basic and fun loved it tbh

[@boj666]

That is kinda a cult game now tho

[@sirraf23]

Yes, I can't believe it wasn't on this list. My favorite was building your own personalized gang and then just having big gang fights in random areas. Best was the bar with the band playing because you could drag the band into the brawl lol.

[@zudy9067]

Man, The Warriors was great. A little bit stiff on the movement side of things but everything else is great. And the bruises that appear when you take damage really does wonders to me. It made me feel like grounded to the earth, feels like I actually took damage, not coming out of a brawl unscathed like a god. And also can we talk about how all the characters voicelines when attacking is the same :') It was really surprising for the first time to hear someone like Rembrandt put out a voice like that

[@DudesWithACamera]

Great game

[@TheNamesJER]

Marc Eckō’s Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure is always one of my most favorite forgotten PS2 era games.

Innovation of the PS2 games is gone now...

[@ruskie099]

Nothing changed, people are just blinded by nostalgia. If many of the games today were released 20 years ago, people would remember them fondly, and if the games from 20 years ago were released today, people would long for the " good old days"

[@420trippyhippie]

Psy Ops was such a great game. I spent most of my time in the training room, flinging soldiers around the room and throwing the wrecking ball at them. Good times

[@jamesstenson5160]

I literally did the same thing and never heard anyone else talk about this game!!

[@36Mikhail]

I thought I was the only one who knew about that game. I'm glad to hear there are more of us.

This game was so awesome

[@bengarcia7700]

SOCOM is a series that I miss so dearly ):

[@tizodd6]

Ghost Recon Wildlands can give you a LITTLE bit of that SOCOM feeling, but it doesn't have the depth when it comes to squad stuff. Those old tactical games like SOCOM and the original Rainbow Six were awesome.

[@ryananthony5586]

I remember playing Scarface on ps2 and being pleasantly surprised at how good it was.

Night dive is apparently remaking them

“Hazzah a man of quality”

[@indoctrahol]

This is something they can reboot or a soft reboot to see exactly. Basically it can use a Soul's like style of combat. Why not?!

[@OfficialNinjaSkillz]

Rise of Honor was a family tradition for me growing up. Me and my siblings would play it every weekend

[@rashonburnett6473]

I really loved State of Emergency from Rockstar games. I often wonder if I’m the only one who misses it. That and Socom, Onimusha, and Psyops are games I would love to see again or sequels at least. Jet Li Rise of Honor was awesome too. I pray Socom comes back for PS5, a campaign and online multiplayer would be awesome for it too.

[@AI.Holiday]

Your not the only one mate. I remember running through the mall as that fat mexican guy with a minigun. That kind of game needs to come back, even maybe just as an arcadey kind of deal. The game was pure mayhem and thats what it was. 10/10

[@swamdono]

I remember. Though not as fondly as you. For me it was the game that showed me just how bad the dreaded "escort mission" could be. The chaos and gunplay were fun though. I was thinking Psi-Ops would be too well known when I opened the video, but they put XIII and Onimusha on here that were far from ignored at the time 'or' more recently. So I'm not sure what they atually mean with 'ignored'. An actual ignored game I can think of is Riding Spirits. A Gran Turismo-like game but with motorbikes.

[@LinkFan2202]

I remember playing Rise to Honor on a PS2 demo disc. Eventually got the game and it was such a badass game for its time. About to replay it for old times sake, definitely deserves a remake.

[@vascomilheiro]

"Black" a great FPS on ps2. Great graphics, very good weapon looks and sound, hard missions with many ways to approach. All in all one of the best single player fps on ps2.

[@mandibiedermann2246]

Dark Watch, Area 51 and Cold Winter also were great games

[@t-rexyt8600]

I still playing it

[@themusicguy1989]

Onimusha was such a great series. Also Syphon Filter: Omega Strain.

[@friartwig]

Omega Strain was my favorite Syphon Filter game. This is the game that severely needs a reboot. Let alone a whole reboot of the series in general.

[@yeeeha5674]

Omega was cool, but thought the earlier games on PS1 were stronger. Loved using the taser on people :P

"Mercenaries: playground of destruction" anyone?

[@robertherrick6703]

I was thinking of this one too. I never finished it (like every other game on this list) but it was very enjoyable. For whatever reason, the sequel didn't do much for me. I wonder if the Just Cause sequels were influenced by Mercenaries or if some of the same people worked on the Just Cause sequels.

Man Spawn Armageddon was terrible I freaking hated that game and I wanted it so damn bad before it came out and was sooo disappointed that it was a cheap ass Devil May Cry rip-off that wasn't even good. I'll never forget Spawn Armageddon being one of the biggest disappointments of my gaming life.

[@davidjohnson4171]

@@marky3609 Devil May Cry ripoff? I'm not too sure you're thinking of Armageddon, the only thing even remotely resembling DMC was Agony's controls and handling, being a weapon with it's own dedicated button, but that was really the only similarity.
