These PS2 games are still great after all these years! Which ones do you still go back and play on the PlayStation 2 all these years later? Which ones did I miss?

The entries in the 'Xeno' meta series are some of my favorites. Xenosaga is even the reason I got a PS2. I went in halfsies with my mom on it and it's really the main reasons I dusted off my PS2 and games. Come to think of it, over time I've crossed paths with at least one version of each of the Xeno games. Got Xenosaga I as my buy-in game with my PS2. Traded a copy of Front Mission 3 for Xenogears and a PS1 compatible memory card for my PS2. I bought my Wii-U in order to played Xenoblade X. Xenoblade 2 basically distracted me from a serious bout of depression at just the right moment. I'd honestly forgot that I'd even pre-ordered it and then it was there on my front step when I needed something to occupy my mind. And I picked up the portable version of Xenoblade Chronicles after, get this, I won a New Nintendo 3DS XL out of a keymaster. Is there a word for suddenly realizing that something is much more significant to your life than you thought it was? I mean, "spouse", but I'm not married to a game franchise. :P

Tekken 5 and MK deception , are loveeee 🥰💞💞💞

[@juliom7017]

Absolutely loved the shadow heart games. One of the few things I am thankful to Game Informer because they once had it in a top 10 list of best RPGs

[@DavidArdila21]

I still play: Freedom Fighters, WWE Here comes the Pain, Gran Turismo 4 is a masterpiece

[@thelostmotel209]

HCTP is a real classic with the customizable story mode. Freedom Fighters is a good game. What bothered me was the patriotism that sometimes seemed real, sometimes more like comedy. Never understood why they did not include a cooperative multiplayer, that would have been gold

God of war and metal gear will never die

[@danf4242]

Thanks for this video - love all your vids - your passion for video games is almost tangible - I'm just wondering if you have any links to the connections your are using to get such an amazing pic from the ps2 - I'm in UK so I'm using scart but the signal you are getting is much better. Thanks for all your hard work!

[@rob9472]

RoadKill was awesome and I sometimes come back to it, Recently I picked up OutRun 2006 on the PS2 I can see that being a game I'll pick up and play every so often it still looks good.

[@drew8235]

Around the time I discovered EverQuest Online Adventures on PS2 I also found the Lord of the Rings Return of the King. Surprisingly it had an online mode, with voice chat as I recall. I played soooooooo much of that, still remember becoming friends with the person who was always #1 on the leaderboards and playing a ton of co-op.

[@TheWayloski]

Vice City blew me and a friend’s mind back in the day. We couldn’t believe the pumped that game out with that much content and style a year after GTA 3

[@fordxbgtfalcon]

Time splitters 2, WRC 2001, medal of honor frontline, Socom 1, Need for Speed Hot pursuit 2 and NFL Blitz. I still play those almost everyday!

[@ocg-overwatchconsolegamepl2809]

Thanks MJR, ima hit up some SSX tricky this weekend, one of my childhood favorite!

[@johnthompson3421]

Raw Vs Smackdown 07! My best friend and I still play it whenever we get the chance! I put a lot of hours in that game.

[@cujero]

For some reason I always come back to Tony hawk 3, lotr return of the King, and the ratchet and clank games

[@BioTheBard]

5:10 Man, this game. My brother and I only ever had access to a ps2 as kids (as far as consoles go), and this was one of our favorites. It's so special to me for that reason. I have it on the OG Xbox now.

[@jamesdwyer1106]

I’m literally playing psi-ops the mindgate conspiracy as I was watching this video. Your doing a great job metal Jesus!

[@DonkeyPuncher1976]

I love these PS2 Videos!!! I think you can do a Hidden Gems PS2 video every week.

[@Ratchet4647]

As you may be able to tell the Ratchet and Clank series is one of my all time favorites.

[@chilly6470]

I still have an Ocean Blue Dualshock 2 sealed in its packaging. Never got around to using it. Great list by the way. Love the look of SplashDown!

[@jbainbridge22]

The way PS2 hit on all strides with gaming and a DVD player is a once in a lifetime experience what a machine. Vice City is my 2nd favorite game of all time have it on my PS5 ;) Put hundreds of hrs into SSX Tricky oh my and always have time for Downhill Domination I miss it to this day :(

[@heldercosta1209]

I am sad. I felt nostalgic about my PS2. So i went to my parents home, dust it off, brought it back to my place, plugged it in... And it does not work... I am kind of sick of this new era of gaming, and The modern titles don't call my attention and i get bored. So i turned to the old games, that's what i want to play. NES, SNES, Genesis, PS1, PS2, for me that was The golden age... I miss it.

[@justjoe5339]

Helder Costa have you ever tried emulation? It's super easy to set up with millions of tutorials online

[@housinauthority5258]

@Reid Jackson Agreed.I paid £35 for a PS2 Slim in perfect condition with a controller and game

[@hugo254]

Man, the Shadow Hearts series were really underrated. It has a great history and unique turn base system, I think it deserved so much more attention it had back then.

[@coltonleroy5394]

I agree, I still play the shadow hearts series

[@fillerbunnyninjashark271]

Kodelka was the first in the series. Some things in covenant make more sense if you've played it

[@MattSeremet]

14:30 "you feel like it could be a real place." Have you been to Miami Beach? I got to visit once and I must say they really nailed the atmosphere and general environment. Walking around I felt like I was visiting a very familiar place. Honestly kinda surreal.

[@bhaveshsadhwani6654]

Tekken 5 and MK deception , are loveeee 🥰💞💞💞

[@MartiniBlankontherest]

Have you ever tried Sly 2 (Band Of Thieves)? It may be the greatest platformer on the system. In my opinion it poops on Ty, Ratchet and Clank and Jak & Daxter. The story and presentation of it alone is to this day completely unique

[@InifintyLefty]

I just played it again after 20 years and the inverted camera is killing the game for me. I agree with everything else but that camera is terrible and no way for change it.

[@danjohnson5618]

Final Fantasy X is a must have in my eye. Also a big, big fan of the Shadow Hearts series. Tekken Tag Tournament as well was a great fighting game IMO

[@chadleafty4870]

Can you start making a list in the description or in the comments, I’d like to screenshot the lists for when I find time/money to do some game collecting.

[@NathanPlayzGames]

Such a wide variety of games for the PS2. I play it from time to time and defo think it's one of the best systems

[@spock9645]

My all time favorite PS2 game was a game that not many people seem to know about, that game is Steambot Chronicles. Mix of great story telling, mech battles, music playing, and just... I love it.

[@jaypirate31]

God, I rented Time Splitters 2 so many times at Blockbuster. Had such a great time with it.

[@KRASNOVIAN1917]

Zone of the Enders will always be one of my favorites.

[@bhaveshsadhwani6654]

Tekken 5 and MK deception , are loveeee 🥰💞💞💞

[@jimmydu9914]

The downhill was very popular in mainland China when I was in high school, thx for sharing!

[@tileslasher]

Playstation 2 was truly an amazing thing, awesome video. I love this channel.

[@superdoonz1]

In 2019 I played through Onimusha 2 & 3, and The Suffering. They still hold up!

[@Nico-vhsyunpocomas]

superdoonz1 suffering it's awesome

[@candykid5135]

ps2 is the best console because : 1- huge library of games 2- it plays ps1 games 3- it's a dvd player

[@Musicrecords10]

That last point is also what allows you to play burned games onto DVD discs if you have it soft modded, so go ps2!

[@xboxice2005]

Great video,all those games I played,especially Hot pursuit 2 😎👍

[@TimHeinz-htimba]

One of my favorite platform games that I often come back to on the ps2 is Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil. I'm also currently playing through Dragon Quest VIII.
