It's definitely the best menu start up for sure. The pure ambience of hearing a loud abstract wind sound during the select screen. Just pure darkness and the lights flowing, it's like the machine waiting for a new simulation (in this case the games). I love the PS2 so much man. ❤

PS2 has been my main console since September and I've been loving every minute of it! Got my first PS2 Slim in December 2004 for Christmas right after they launched in November. I still have that slim to this day. I just recently picked up a CECHA01 Backwards Compatible PS3 and it does an amazing job of making PS2 games look great on HD 720 or 1080 displays. I'd have to disagree about the slim, while it is my original and dearly beloved PS2, the later model original PS2's such as 39001 and 50001 are really great and suffer less issues. The slims suffer from loose ribbon cables that scratch discs and this was fixed in the 79001 model which was also the lightest slim, but reverted in the last model 90001 which had the internal power supply. Many slims suffer from the power supply solder joints breaking and they also suffer from the common issue where the lid sensors go bad and discs won't spin as a result of not recognizing that the tray is closed. All of these issues are very fixable, but you just need to keep in mind that for original thick PS2's the only real issues are bad lasers in the launch 30001 model and slow disc trays that get stuck over time, but that's also easily addressed by servicing the drive. The thick PS2's are also more mod friendly than slims for those interested in modding.

For the Phat model I recommend getting the SCPH - 50001 version that's the one I have for a long time plus I believe that's the later version of the Phat model. I recommend getting the PS2 Slim but be aware of the laser cable adhesive it's very common for it to wear off & the cable will start scratching your discs

You had Maximo, Crimson Sea, Crimson Skies, Red Ninja, Gun Valkyrie, Tak, Gun and so many others. Sadly nowadays gamers usually get the cookie cutter online FPS/TPS games with the standard arenas and basic mechanics.

Cool video, great recommendations. I've been a PS2 collector since it's release. I recently picked up a HDD for my PS2 with all the games I never had a chance to play. So many good games on that system. For those who can't afford to buy games, this new way of playing games on PS2 without the disc is amazing. I was sceptical about it for years but after trying it I really like the convenience and the amount of money this will save is incredible. I just want more people to have access to these games and I think the HDD method gives that. Even if you are already a big collector, this method of playing games is good for preservation of your games. Built one yourself or buy one plug and play, either way imo it's a must have for anyone interested in PS2.

I also bought a PS2 slim this year and retired my old phat PS2 I bought in 2002. Glad you named Dragon Quest VIII. Such a gem of a game. It released on 3DS, but I prefer the PS2 version. Others I'd highly recommend are; Hulk: Ultimate Destruction: One of the best super hero games of all time IMO. Spartan: Total Warrior: Just a fun hack n slash. Not much else. SOCOM U.S. Navy Seals: Great stealth 3PS. Ridiculous these don't have remasters. Black: Just a ridiculously fun FPS. Can be played on current Xbox too. Medal of Honor: Frontline: One of the best WWII games ever made. Would be amazing if this got a full blown remake. King Kong: Best movie tie in game ever? Probably could say that. Splinter Cell games: How these aren't on modern consoles is absurd. They did a port for PS3, but again... that's PS3. Ghost Recon/Jungle Strike: They probably look and feel outdated, but man they're just fun IMO.

PS2 is the console I grew up with and have the most memories with and I still love it and it's catalog to to this day. However, after COVID hit and the retro gaming market on the rise the games aren't as cheap as they used to be and that could turn many people away from the console with some games costing well over $100. I personally recommend playing via emulation or grabbing a PS2 fat and slapping a hard drive in it with your favorite games. I had a huge collection for the PS2 and sold it about a year ago and I don't plan on starting over since the games i had were high value but i was able to get for cheap.

The Xenosaga series is fantastic. Highly recommend (though some of the gameplay in the first two games is a little dated). Of the PS2 games I've played (that aren't mentioned in the video), try the Shadow Hearts trilogy, Digital Devil Saga (1 and 2), Killer7 (this one has a PC port too), Drakengard 1 (haven't played the second), Fatal Frame 1-3, and Shadow of Memories/Destiny. PS2 games are still worth going back to, but are so hard to find and collect physically. It would be great if studios gave more attention to making the PS2 and PS1 catalogue more accessible rather than trying to remaster or remake PS4-era games.

I prefer the Xenosaga trilogy, but I know a lot of people much prefer Xenogears.

Buying a ps2 is worth it for analog button inputs alone. Currently playing through DQ8 myself right now via MX4SIO and it's a slow ride but I'm loving it.

Worth it, it may be but finding a console that will last not knowing it's care history is the concern.

I honestly prefer the original ps2 because the slim ps2 overheats after an hour or 2 though I did enjoy your showcase. Though I was sad you didn’t mention the “Def Jam” games in PS2 when you were mentioning Fighting/Brawler games. I enjoyed watching an LP of the first “Def Jam” game and have almost beaten “Def Jam: Fight for New York” I wish you mentioned them as well as the “Dynasty Warriors” games since 2 up to 5 XL are still only Exclusive to the PS2. Other ones you didn’t mention that still today are only on PS2 were “Mortal Kombat: Deception”, “Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance”, “Mortal Kombat: Armageddon”, and “Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks”

No Twisted Metal or Socom? Sony doesn’t even acknowledge these IP both due for a port/remaster/new entry

The PS2 is my 2nd favorite console of all time after the PS3. Definitely worth everyone's time and money.

I played Oni when I was maybe 8 years old, I gotta say I must have been really bad at video games as a kid! I could not get past some kind of laser level and absolutely hated it! Now it's super expensive, at least here in Australia, so might still be awhile before I dive back in. All that to say, solid recommendation 😅

Some of those games will NEVER see the light of day on modern platforms either due to licensing/rights issues or just not enough money. Examples: 1) Xenosaga might have an opportunity although I have no idea who owns the rights, Monolith Soft was the developer (is owned by Nintendo) and Bandai/Namco was the publisher. 2) WWE Smackdown/SVR games will never see the light of day again. Those games had incorporated brand deals with all the wrestlers, not to mention the licensed music among other things. The original developer (Yukes) no longer works on WWE games and THQ is absolved. It would be next to impossible. 3) Games that are wholly owned by companies (MMX Command Mission with Capcom, Oni by Rockstar) could be rereleased, but only if there's financial incentive. Can't imagine the porting process would be worth it for those big companies if the return is not there.

Xenosaga 1-3 is pretty much guaranteed to get a rerelease within the next 2-3 years. Nintendo bought monolith and bandai is a close partner. Xenoblade Chronicles 2, 3 and X prominently feature Xenosaga characters and narrative connections. (Likewise with Xenogears characters being prominently featured in saga)

I love Champions as well! If it gets released on PSN i'll buy it, just to support. However i'll be disappointed if the graphics arent upscaled, like the emulator gameplay that's out there... "WWE Shut Your Mouth" is underrated. I recently bought a light-gun & "Time Crisis" 2 & 3, they're alot of fun!
