The PS2 has a lot of weird and obscure games that I think are worth taking a look at with its own video series. In this video we're going to do a rapidfire review five games I personally found to be really interesting to talk but aren't meaty enough for their own analysis videos. These might not necessarily be the most obscure games but more the tip of the iceberg of lesser known PS2 titles.

Always appreciate love being spread to obscure games, especially ones from back in the day (I hate that we can use that saying for the ps2 now too). Good looks as always Snickety

@lebonk8081 2 года назад

don't forget about the obscure horror game, obscure lol

@MBSTARCRAFT 2 года назад

Man this video reminds me of how mythical games felt in this era.

@DylantheKnightOwl 2 года назад

Great video as always. How I yearn for those days of old, the good days, the Mr Mosquito days.

@ShadowWolfRising 2 года назад

I rented Mister Mosquito. That was a entertaining game. "Suggest Odd ones." Okage: Shadow King, Ephemeral Phantasia, Tsugunai: Atonement, Jade Cocoon 2, Robot Alchemic Drive, Steambot Chronicles, Evergrace, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel (Not to be confused with the Tactics game.), Under the Skin, Haven: Call of the King, Kya: Dark Lineage, Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, Whiplash, Dr. Muto, Toe-Jam and Earl 3, Scaler, and Vexx. That should do.

@coyeh285 2 года назад

Scaler was the first game I ever owned on PS2. I must have beaten it at least 10 times. So much nostalgia

@skullwolfsteam 2 года назад

vexx huh? i aint played that game since i last rented it in my old rental store back in the mid to late 2000's its an odd and pretty hard platformer for sure! (the final boss is so damn tough to beat)

@Flackon 2 года назад

Steambot Chronicles isn't particularly odd, but it's fantastic and a hidden gem worth playing, for sure

Love these kinds of videos. Glad to see you back Snickety. Some suggestions: Frequency, Poinie's Poin, Chain Dive, Flipnic: Ultimate Pinball and Stretch Panic (lmao) are some I've been interested in but never really checked out.

@FlipzMCL 2 года назад

I unfortunately don't have knowledge of specifics, but a video on PS3 games that technically also had a PS2 version that no one remembers could be a neat theme for an episode; I find games released right around the time of a console generation shift to be particularly fascinating from a games history perspective, particularly when the devs clearly saw the future approaching but were ultimately shackled by the platform they had to release on.

@SnicketySlice 2 года назад

Sonic Unleashed comes to mind.

@mysteriousdbzgt 2 года назад

Great video, please consider making more. Obscure ps1 & 2 games are a gold mine that needs to be shared.

@KaiboStudios 2 года назад

I have this one Over the hedge game that's surprisingly solid. It also acts somewhat as a retelling and a sequel.

@jeffcourty6321 3 месяца назад

This is exactly why ps2 was my favorite era. So much variety and experiments! Nowadays dev costs are so high games must be streamlined to minimise risks. Now indy is the way to experiment, and if a new genre is proven successfull enough, giants of the industry will clone it, add a few sparkles, and get their share of the pie.

@SwoleBenji 2 года назад

I was always too ashamed to rent Mr. Mosquito as a child. Didn't want the "are ya winnin son" thing to happen.

@notinorder9630 2 года назад

what a nice and rather informative video. not sure if it counts as obscure, but my favorite lesser known ps2 game is Atelier Iris and it's sequel. haven't played the third entry for that particular series but it's just so painfully comfy to play the first one again and again, which is helped by still not being able to find all the fun little bits here and there.

@derickseamanfps623 2 года назад

This is the PEAK of comfy. Comfortability. Useful knowledge to keep my gaming habits fresh- i might add. Resplendant.

@TVsTewi 2 года назад

@bass2126 2 года назад

Jet Li Rise to Honor. Not sure if it's super obscure but I've never seen anyone talk about it but I loved that game so much back in my childhood.

@GabrielPhelanLucas 2 года назад

Recommendations: Hungry Ghosts- 1st person horror action game. Chain Dive- Strider meets Bionic Commando. Remote Control Dandy SF- sequel to PS1 mecha game with an unconventional control scheme. Ghost Vibrations- 1st person rail shooter(movement between sections is manual and in 3rd person but you can only move forward and never back). The game has 3 post game stages upon loading a clear game save, footage of which I haven't found. They seemingly require 100% ghost capture to unlock.

I had Mr. Mosquito. Such a great game. I like games where you're tiny in the real world.

@Pinkyton 2 года назад

I dunno if it's actually obscure or if my friends just didn't play it - Trapt on PS2. You're falsely accused of patricide, you hide in an old house, end up with a demon arm, and have to set traps everywhere to fight off people coming for your head

@tHeWasTeDYouTh Год назад

I remember playing Mister Mosquito as a kid back in 2002, had so much fun. sadly derp Japanese games like this are not made today. Gundam Encounters in Space PS2 game is one of the best gundam games if you are a fan. so much content but if you are not a fan you might not like the combat and controls . super rare PS2 game is Chulip and Rule of Rose.

I never really noticed just how different the gameplay style of White Base and Thoroughbred's stages are but yeah Thoroughbred is definitely way more intense. Hardest mission in the game is the final Shin Matsunaga Ace Pilot level though, you have to fight the fucking Full Armor Gundam!

@BrenTenkage 2 года назад

yeah do more of these, also I vaugly remember a 360 game I rented where it was a tactical rpg...but it was world war 2...with like vampires were wolves and other mythical creations, don't even remember if it was any good I suppose Metal Saga would also be a good game to look into, you want weird, hoooooooooooboy like the story is nothing to write home about but the weird stuff like the temple composed of japanese speedo wearing macho men will be memorable, that and dogs with artillery cannons on their back its actually one of two games that came here from the Metal Max series

@SEGAClownboss 2 года назад

bruh i need to play demolition girl now thanks

@percher4824 2 года назад

I didn't have many PS1 games, and even fewer were obscure. Incredible Crisis was pretty memorable and very japanese. Another game I've never seen anyone even mention is Destrega. A friend of mine played the demo, but I had the full game. I remember the voice acting being... a product of its time. Might be funny to play through it, or at least check out a longplay.

@percher4824 2 года назад

... and for PS2 games... only one I can recall being obscure is a diving game that apparently had a lot of entries. Everblue. I never got far or figured out how to progress. I don't even know where I got it from.

This is a potentially bottomless pit you've fallen into. I have far too many games I could list, but here's three games off the top of my head. Ring of Red, Robot Warlords, and Victorious Boxers 2.

@ironbaysqiureg4827 2 года назад

Is well other than the classic yugioh dealest of the rose. There was that Muso tactical game that was Kessen 2. It's really not as known or loved as its regular main series line.

@taewyth4161 2 года назад

I don't know if it's obscure or not but I had this cute little game, Herdy Gerdy, it's a puzzle platformer where you have to herd animals and of course different animals requires different approaches. IIRC it's like not the best game ever but still a very solid one

@SnicketySlice 2 года назад

I actually had that one as a kid and could never figure out how to get far in it.
