PS2 Games Still Worth Playing, Here's Why 

Man, every time I look at PS2 games, I just feel joy and nostalgia.

this is the content we are here for ! LONG LIVE the days you use to put a disc into the console knowing that it was a full game you didn't have to purchase DLC for or wait 3 hours to download a 60GB patch for - I'm 30 now and also appreciate moisturising my hands and moaning about everything 😂 keep the content coming

I miss the days where games were complete and had actual split screen modes and were just fully finished pieces of software.

Get Scarface on the PS2 next! 😎

I bought a new unopened xbox 360 because of you mate. Thanks for the vids

Bully will forever live in my heart because I played it while still at school at that nostalgia is honestly astounding. Get it every time I load it up and hear the baseballs hit the rockstar logo.

His radiating passion for the games is impeccable.

6th gen is truly the greatest of all time. This current gen is a complete joke in comparison.

I could live a happy life with playing games only released from 2003 to 2013

GTA:SA, Resident Evil 4, The Warriors, GTA:VC, GTA III, Kingdom Hearts, Max Payne, Midnight Club 3, Socom U.S. Navy Seals, Shadow of the Colossus best of the best!

The warriors ps2 is one of my favorites very underrated

I always stop what I’m doing to watch your newest videos. Seriously good stuff man.

True Crime, streets of LA is a game i enjoyed quite alot. Its branching storie and multiple endings, together with the shooting system with neutralizing and fatal shots and driving skills, made it unique. The first time i played, on rhe driving school, i accidentally unlocked all driving skills through a cheatcode. So i thought you learned all skills just after you finished the first stage of rhe driving school, i took years to know it was unlocked progressivelly

The 20 year old Games are way better than anything today. And thats saying something!

I love the videos and the games you go over. just recently started to collect the PS2 and PS3 games that I have lost while growing up.

Keeping them coming as always… Awesome, keep up the great work and Happy Gaming Everyone 😎.

I still have my PS2 and True Crime streets of LA. I haven’t played that game in years but since you brought it up in this video, I’m gonna play it tonight lol

Thanks for the suggestions! Been playing alot of PS2 lately!

Bully is my 2nd favorite Rockstar game behind Red Dead Redemption.

Man your videos are amazing I want to thank you for making these videos you have made me want to play so many games I’ve never thought I would like la noire for the ps3 and mafia

Love the videos! Never played the true crime games I’m going to be picking them up soon. Been working on the PS2 collection like crazy lately!

You can't beat PS2 games. So many good games out there that should be remade.❤

I got my ps2 slim as a gift when i was 5 years old in '07. Years later in 2018 i just plugged my ps2 and search in the Internet about this generation of consoles and the PS2 is the King of systems, you should try and make walkthroughs of your favorite games. Greetings from Mexico!

bro, at least once in a year I play need for speed most wanted and devil may cry 3. These games age like fine wine. PS2 is incredible

Just got a ps2 slim and I’ve been playing so much Stuntman! Game is so much fun

Vice city stories was the first ever gta game I owned. It'll always hold a special place in my heart.

I agree with you, we have so much good stuff on ps2 (and3) that ps5 seems obsolete almost 😂

Love your channel dude!

I got my ps2 out of the attic today, time to build my ps2 collection

Hey man what’s up nice videos the ps2 really so many great games on it cool that ur talking about socom 2 but my favorite socom game is socom 3 I like that they added the ability to drive vehicles and boats there too such a fun game to play but of course the first game is good too give both of those games a try someday

It's a great day when this man uploads a video! :) 🎉

Love the channel, You should get a RetroTink 5X. Love mine.

LOL you're the man...keep it up bro

This video got me to buy a ps2 at 20 years old in 2024. I grew up on ps3, ps4 and now have a ps5. But I’ve always been curious abt some of these classics. And when playing them on a newer console they feel gimmicky. Well I guess I wouldn’t really know but hopefully I find out what made the ps2 era so incredible

Totally agree with Tony hawk 3 man I was always ripping my hair out trying to get those tapes. Amazing soundtrack. Always looked for another game like it. Closest thing was Tony hawk underground 2 and skate 3 for the ps3

I feel the same way here I am with the new systems and they sit while I enjoy and enjoy collecting for my older systems

You are amazing I've been emulating tens of PS2 games and it's great

I've had a used copy of True Crime Streets of LA in my collection for close to 15 years without ever playing it. At least I THINK it's still in my collection... In any case - it's a game I should at least try some day.

bully never gets old for me. i always end up coming back to it every 3-5 years. they don't make fun games like that anymore.

I absolutely f’k’n *loved* True Crime: Streets Of LA. The skill/combat levelling-system was so incredibly innovative at the time and all of the game’s mechanics were smooth AF. I remember always having little taste for driving or racing games but found the driving mechanics for TC:SoLA to be really enjoyable, smooth and consistent…The whole game was like being immersed in a late 90s action movie. SSX3 was also one of my favourite games of all time for the PS2 & just watching those clips made me realise I need to get it again for whichever console I decide to buy. I remember the music being absolutely life-changing and incredibly inspiring for me as a kid. I need that OST back in my life and that ambient snow-covered atmosphere back in my imagination for the immersion it gave me. Vice City Stories & Liberty City Stories are both games that I never got to experience either but I’m going to buy them and play them via the backwards-compatibility option in the Xbox One-looking forwards to seeing what I’ve been missing out on. Truly an awesome era of gaming.

Great video! I am team 4:3 though, don’t love the stretched image

FMX freestyle metal X was 1 of my favourite games it was a MX Tony hawk and the multiplayer hill climb was awesome

Bought true crime streets of l.a a few weeks back, its so much fun, last time i played was today and im definitely going to complete it, the controls feel very weird at first but you'll get used to it

One thing i like about the ps2 is the plethora of compilation disc games on that generation. Midway arcade classics 1-3, metal slug anthology, intellivision lives, atari anthology, SNK arcade classics vol 1 [they never made a vol2], taito legends 1 and 2- you can get over a hundred games from about a dozen games on the ps2.

This was before online was mainstream and publishers couldn’t just ship a broken game and use micro transactions to milk users for cash. The games had to work and actually be fun if they wanted to make money.

I finally found a copy of Suffering Ties That Bind after trying the demo in Mortal Kombat Shaolin many many years ago. God damn it is so good

Vice city Stories is a Banger! I still have my copy from 15 years ago before it got EXPENSIVE!

I’ve been playing Bully on 360 and owned it for PS2! -SSX Tricky was my favourite in the series because I was introduced to it on those old Demo Discs that came with the PlayStation Magazine. -NFSHP2 is an awesome game and the console version is better than the PC version. I remember my parents renting it for me at blockbuster and we never found a copy at the local Toys R Us or K-Mart, so years later I got it on eBay. -I’m into racing games and F1 Career Challenge was my favourite on PS2! - All GTAs were amazing to play too. - THPS3 was played so much that I still know all of the soundtracks.

Im currently on the last gta vice city stories since gaming declined went bck to my ps2/3 since 2021 loving it here wish there was more gta ps2 gen

doing a play through of bully rn. great game

Dude yes, I will have to try true crime on ps2 (or og Xbox) if I can find it. The Simpsons hit and run was my introduction to the Simpsons, and it actually got me into the show

Would anyone else want to see Kevin do let’s plays of some of these games

There was a ps2 game i used to play, downhill domination, it was an insane game very fun experience you should take a look at it

Good video.

Have you ever played Jet Set Radio Future on the original xbox? It's one of those games that I always forget how good it is. On the rare occasions I go back and play it I always end up thinking this game is so much fun. Why the hell don't I play it more often? It's also got really good music.

Idk why but the thumbnail was giving eminem gamer vibes 😂

I never played Bully but you just made me buy it.. Still very reasonable in price too 👍

Omg i miss ssx3 😢. Itll never happen but hope they remake it or remaster it atleast. The best snowboarding game ever!

What you were saying about graphics holding up is what I said about graphics since then this whole time. We haven't improved much outside of lighting

Agree with you 100%. Though I must add you missed Scarface. Easily one of the top 3 of the PS2 OG X-Box. Driver as well was good!

5:44 Dont forget about The Warriors! If you havent played it yet, you cannot sleep on this when talking about good games by Rockstar in the 6th generation

WWE Here comes the Pain is timeless too i think, i played hours non stop with my friends

Nothing beats old consoles, since they actually focused on fun and not just taking money from you.

Another solid upload dude,good work! Have you fallen totally out of love with modern gaming altogether?probably understandable enough Thoughts on the vita or ps handheld making a comeback?👍🏽

what is the video converter you have? i’m looking to purchase one but want one that is good

The soundtrack to true crime la is really good too. I'm also another £400 in a hole on ps1 games since your last upload. Your content has seriously pushed my nostalgia button and have since caught the bug for collecting games.

Now we need a ps1 games video

You gotta play the time splitters series if you haven’t already

I would lose myself in Simpsons Hit Run. Sunday Drive mode for hours

Die hard trilogy on ps1 pretty solid

scarface was the best ps2 game that game needs a remaster

We definitely talked about graphics in the PS2 gen, graphics even had their own section in the Game Informer reviews, which I read and reread every magazine from probably 2004 to 2010. Games like Resident Evil 4, God of War, Need for Speed Underground, The Suffering Ties that Bind, Gun I remember all blew me away with the graphics, and in the case of The Suffering it was specifically how your character would get covered with blood. Max Payne 2 was awesome because of the ragdoll physics, and graphics were pretty good too. It wasn’t all about graphics though, because the GTA games were obviously the biggest franchise on the PS2, and none of them had particularly good graphics. In fact, they were some of the ugliest games I played on the PS2, but it didn’t matter because the quality and quantity of what you could do and where you could go. I remember playing GTA 3 when it first released and I thought we had reached the pinnacle of video games. Then Vice City came out and surpassed 3 and blew my mind again. Then when San Andreas came out and we had 3 cities, a pool mini game, rpg like stat system, car customization, SWIMMING, etc., etc., etc. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. PS2 was great because of the games, and the technological leaps within the generation were unreal, and that’s what I liked most about it.

try driver 3 next 😊

Hey man do you mind mentioning what sort of upscaler you use to give the ps2 a better resolution for a modern tv?I don’t mind paying the money for it as long as I know it does a good job!thanks bud👍🏽

I remember being a kid and getting ssx tricky for the OG Xbox and it honestly was amazing, dunno if it still holds up but from what I remember it was a great game with simple controls. Then around 2012 they released ssx for x360 and it was just rubbish, it was like they had the potential there for it but couldn't make it live up to expectations

The PS2 has the best catalog of any gaming console ever. No matter what genre of games you like, it has a game for you, and that game probably is the best in that series lol

Definitely missed Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2. They still hold up extremely well.

Awesome! Do you prefer CRT to lcd for ps2 era?

Sleeping Dogs is a kind of continuation of the True Crime games, it's excellent and on the PS3 too.

Amazing content as always, but who is gonna say to him :D? - If he just makes a switch from those AV cables and puts original component -> he probably be throwing his PS5 outta window :D when he sees that games how amazing they actually look in 2024.

How do you get your PS2’s sound and video to work on a PC monitor? I just bought myself a PS2 and would like to know. I also have a PS3 and am having trouble with audio and video (not upscaling to the monitor’s full resolution in game, during the PS3’s menu it works normally but in game it reduces to half the screen size.)

I like Burnout 3 for the PS2

I know I’m late but you need to review a forgot superhero game. Hulk ultimate destruction!

Shadow of Rome by capcom. 👌

I play all these with my modded ps3!

*last year was the year of GameCube collecting, this year is the year of ps2 collecting, the prices keep going up !!*

Rockstar and Remedy are currently working on Remastering the Max Payne Games. As for Midnight Club and Bully we’ll have to see

Kevin, when will you finish Until Dawn?

Welp I wasn't a big PS2 fan, I love the PS1 and nowadays the PS3 more than I would expected, but the PS2 got some unique Horror Games, which was to me more the perfect console for the Horror Genre, which I played mostly on PC but yah I enjoyed it. The 6th Generation is a interesting era of PS2/Gamecube/Xbox Classic, was more the GC Fan till today. True Crime Streets of LA is an interesting GTA Clone, I got this on PC too, anyways this game is fun😃

Sleeping Dogs is True Crime 3 Hong Kong, it was just renamed due to the initial publisher dropping them.

Ace Combat 5 alone is enough reason but there are so many good games

THPS3 in my opinion IS the best Tony Hawk game. It was more smooth and looked better than THPS4.

Mgs 3 and silent hill 2

Streets of LA runs at 720p native on the OG xbox

What have you been using hand lotion for?

No you did not just break out the ssx, straight up one of my favorite game series ever

Phil Collins is in THE GAME

If you have a newer console like PS4 try the Tony Hawk 1&2 remake. It is amazing and probably pretty cheap by now

I got a ps2 vice city manual for can have

This is the reason the Steamdeck is here.
