101 More PS2 Games You May Not Know: Seen But Not Played Edition

Another 100 PS2 Games in 10 minutes...
You probably have seen some of these on a shelf, but gave a pass on them; or maybe they just came out too late (or too early) in the PS2 life cycle. Or maybe you just plain didn't know about 'em.
As usual, there is a good mix of games that deserved better cred than they actually got, some not-so-great obscurities, and a true hidden gem or two!

NOTE: Game 12 (Chaos Wars - 1:06) is incorrectly documented; the year of release is 2008, and the metacritic score should be 64. Thanks @shaman xeed for catching this!

[@trashcan9001]

thank you Gary! awesome video as always, crazy the ps2 library seems to have no end! ton of hidden gems!

[@MikeADHD]

I know you just posted this but I need 100 more

[@Phed98]

1000

[@ChipWhitingtonIII]

Played exactly ONE of these games... probably for a reason. PS2 must the console with the largest library of games by far.... which means a lot of crap. Though one man's trash is another man's treasure.

[@Anex952]

What was the one game just wondering?

[@ChipWhitingtonIII]

@@Anex952 Ty the Tasmanian Tiger.

[@Anex952]

@@ChipWhitingtonIII oh nice I haven't played that but I have heard its a decent game.

[@ChipWhitingtonIII]

@@Anex952 Yeah, a serviceable 3D platformer... never got around to the sequels though.

[@josuegarduno7154]

@@ChipWhitingtonIII have heard good things about that one... will probably buy it when I get the chance at the local flea market

[@cosmuru]

One of the best channels to discover new rare gems! Thank you for your videos!

[@noahboat580]

I recommend Dino Stalker (number 24). You play as a WWII pilot that teleports to the dinosaur world, slowly figuring out his means of escape and the world around him

[@primarcamgtow2926]

Thanks man,i played and i love it.

[@fauxshow7520]

This has quickly became a favorite channel of mine, awesome work as always

[@Spherecode.]

Thank you for bringing up memories I've completely forgotten about

[@Swordknight22gaming]

Actually D.O.N is really popular in my country, Indonesia.

[@edreid7872]

I love your PS2 list....that was the last console I owned, and there were hundreds of games to choose from....not to mention the PlayStation magazine with demo disks....that's where I discovered Ape Escape, my all time favorite.....great job...

[@GaryRetroGamer]

Hey thanks! Glad you liked it! If you want more, Please check out the other PS2 vids on my channel.

[@HybridAngelZero]

Games on this list I have: Dual Hearts Evergrace Radiata Stories Nightmare of Druaga The PS2's library is the gift that keeps on giving, it's totally wild

[@gersonpaulo8900]

As a fan of PS2 this is the best channel that I can relate about it, I subscribed you.

[@DC.....]

First thing new to your channel absolutely love it game list videos are awesome the best I've ever seen honestly 2nd the intro features a quick tune where have I heard that lol

[@GaryRetroGamer]

Thanks and welcome to the channel! I am glad you are enjoying the videos! The opening theme for this particular video is one of the "stings" from South Park - which usually plays at the start of every new scene.

[@iskeypxx]

a lot of these were actually pretty popular and got featured a lot in gaming magazines back then. some even got demos. man, i miss those days.

[@Joshua_N-A]

I heard magazines used to have a demo disc included as a freebie. Is that right?

[@Krlja]

​@@Joshua_N-A Yeah, demos were a big thing back then, because there were no internet video reviews, so it was the best way for developers to have players check out their game. You could buy/rent demo discs, they'd come in magazines as freebies, or even within other games. For example in Crash Bandicoot 3 on PS1, if you entered a code on title screen, you could play demo of Spyro the dragon. And then, if you love a game from the demo disc, but can't find it in your town, you end up replaying same short gameplay over and over again lol

[@Palendrome]

@@Krlja Yep I remember the days of "this game never made it to a store in my town". You'd jusrt have whole sections of gaming cut off depending where you were, not like today.

[@Indigoku00]

Great Vid. Tyco Rc and Battalion Wars should've been on here. I'm sure barely anyone remembers playing those lol

[@stonerdemon]

Wizardry VI, true definition of a hidden gem. I have it but I still need to make a DVD image to play it more often because I don't want to shorten the life of the console's lens.

[@gallowaygaming75]

Lots of brilliant games again. loved splashdown. Not played a lot of the games on this list

[@rg.187]

2:25 the cut is just perfect lol

[@jayjoeie]

thanks to you I have found many hidden gems for PS2 thank you

Majority still holds well. Ignition is always on the shelf...

[@SpecShadow]

Shadow Tower Abyss and Wizardry games... those are great titles.

gadget racers is really cool, you have to try it, i played it for ages as a kid with my cousins at my great grandmothers. it was lovely

[@Fey-ml6qs]

Even Quantum Solace PS2 version is really good, 007 franchise is always good in every aspect.

[@HablaGino]

I stell remind that game

[@im22sonofadracula32]

That game fun but kinda short

Splashdown, Silpheed the lost planet and Jak X Combat Racing are such great games, They have great graphics and they are a blast to play.

[@karlhans6678]

[@itz_Metaa]

World war zero was such a fun game! A game I've never seen in these compilations is stealth force 2. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person to ever finish that game lol. Do note that I haven't watched all videos so it might be in another one.

[@TrueInvisible]

ape escape 3 , good game! ghost master the gravenville chronicles, finished it 3 times resident evil dead aim, played it, never finished it seven samurai 20xx such an underrated game. ty the tazmanian tiger, nice game all else.. yeah never heard of them before

pitfall and ty the tasmiania tiger was my childhood those games so underrated

I WAS LOOKING FOREVER FOR FUTURE TACTICS, THANK GOODNESS for GARY.

[@tobainiac7886]

I played 9 out of 101 Games, i guess thats something! But some look pretty interesting, even today.

[@rezaazura3]

i play it, chaos wars, casual turn base, it's more easy to learn the gameplay, but a bit tricky, because you must level up all of your character, because there are some event that you must 1 v 1 enemy, and you don't have any option rather than win it, you can't level up (grinding item or leveling) when that event come.

[@dest151]

great video.. :)

[@windyearle]

I can confirm I hadn't even heard of most of these.

[@JohnMirandaGaming]

Actually, my first ever COD game I ever owned was WAW: FF. Even though it’s not one of the best COD games ever, it still is a good game. Wish it at least had the Zombies game on there :/

[@elin3967]

Hi found this video recently and I find it a bit funny that the first game i got on ps2 by my parentes was cell damage overdrive. I know that i've also played ape escape 3

YES! I love Demon Stone!

Dude, 1:00 i love this freaking game!!!

[@tb3411]

Out of these I own... Ape Escape 3, Chaos Wars, and Ty

[@Ratoramaa]

I am at my wits end can anyone help me find this PS2 game i played so long ago at a friends house. I believe it was a turn based strategy game where you command characters or heros, i cant remember if they were mercenaries or not. There was a mechanic where you could give the rewards to your group or keep it all to yourself, i think it would make them hate you if you decided to keep all the rewards. I think there might have been either a Native American with a wolf or a barbarian as a unit you command. It was a fantasy setting, and a isometric top down view, i also think units moved between tiles. Thats all i could really remember.

[@MisterVolts]

Hey, that side-scrolling space shooter towards the end looked pretty cool. Even though the genre is a bit dated, a good one can be fun and immersive. >blowing dust away from PS2< Amazon here I come!

[@mikoajkulinski323]

I played Choro Q on my emulator, loved it

[@eskadecci3400]

I played Dino Stalker and Dead aim, i really enjoyed those.

[@matthewgillis6366]

... Not even a minute in and I'm already crying... at the fact that Ape Escape 3 is very obviously on the list... my first ever Ape Escape game and barely anyone knows about the series minus the first game... it makes my heart ache. Also, I have the Tokobots game, Splashdown, Stuntman Ignition, AND Dokapon Kingdom! :) (Side note: I have Dokapon Kingdom for the Wii, and all the rest of the games mentioned I have for PS2)

Cocoto fishing master is a terrifying game. I was scared to play it as a child cause the fish designs scare me. To this day I still feel uncomfortable with it

[@dreamer_prince900]

We can some old games copied for a cheap price but lots of old games are not easy to find nowadays

Can I make a suggestion your game lists are so superior to others I've seen could you do a list of scary creepy eerie games list for PS2 PS3 and any other console you want I've been trying to to find list of scary games for PS2-3 but most have the standard list RES E SHill and so on that would be great and a shooters list for PS2 or 3 would be cool just a suggestion

[@GaryRetroGamer]

That's an excellent idea and one I've pondered for a looong time. The XBox/PS2 generation was a golden age for horror games that extended for a little bit into the Xbox360/PS3 generation. I've avoided doing "themed" lists thus far - but who knows? I may get to it soon...thanks for the feedback!

[@VulpisFoxfire]

Ape Escape and Jak X are considered obscure? On the other hand, I own Dragon Rage and Future Tactics...and frankly, they should have stayed obscure. I would point out that several of these showed up as demos on Playstation Underground and the like. So people may have 'played' them, just not the full games. Edit: I'm guessing a couple of these, like Half-Life and Rogue Trooper are on here for the PS2 *versions* being obscure, rather than the game itself.

[@usakenslaveno.6913]

"kuon" one of the best horror game on ps2
