Down hill domination
You guys forgot Transformers PS2
The Armada One
FACTS that lord of the rings game is still official
Be nice if you could have displayed the games in their correct aspect ratio...nothing worse or more ugly than looking at 4:3 gameplay footage that has been stretched to 16:9... all looks horribly squashed
Could you please try to convince people why Master Chief will NEVER be in Super Smash Bros.?
The PS2 had a legendary library.
PS3 comes close to that level as well, though later into it's lifespan some modern monetization bullshit started occuring. PS4 era just went downhill rapidly in all regards, with just few good titles as an exception.
No it didn't. It was actually a pretty crappy system and virtually everything on it aged like milk.
The SNES had a legendary library. There are several games on it that are still best in class today. The PS2 really has nothing like that.
@@youtubesuresuckscock ps2 hater in 2023? really? lol
@@scorpionvibes1847 Almost every game in this video was a third party game and better on the GameCube or Xbox.
@@youtubesuresuckscock Nintendo fanboy?
This is not a SNES video.. playstation 2had many good games
Man I miss the 2000’s back then when you got the game you played it for hours and enjoyed the hell out of the experience until you memorized everything
Me rn with my ps2
Yeah I feel ya, still have my PS2 and now my out of the Box Fat PS2, back when you didn't need internet for future content cause it was all in the disc.
Yeah games have lost that magic, modern games focus far to much on chasing trends. We would never get a shadow of the colossus today, but we should.
Yeah, the games are so boring now, it is a joke. The music and variety was way better.
U guys gotta do what I did. By a modded ps2 a 2tb hard drive. Has many games on it. Relive when gaming was fun
I miss this era . The complete game was on disc and 9/10 they were optimized enough with hardly any bugs.
Plenty of bugs but yeah, I miss the days when buying a disc meant you’d get the full game for that price.
Game development was a lot easier and cheaper back then. We were younger and were easily impressed but nowadays, I could never play any of those anymore.
@@phil_5430 I’m still playing it and having a blast in 2023
@@phil_5430 Funny I can't play or enjoy games past ps3 which to me was the last great gen for consoles
hardly any bugs lol were you actually there??
people would pay for physical copies BECAUSE these versions had bugs
Star Wars battlefront 2 was amazing. I had so much fun with it
OG Battlefront 2 is a classic.
I spent hours playing that game on Galactic Conquest mode.
@@jeuryrabassa4724 hell yeah it was the real deal
I'll forever remember discovering the jedi vs empire mode on Mos Eisley. Great times. It always astounded me how much game there was then compared to the remakes now.
The online was so much fun on that game. Also people still keep some of the servers up.
up up up left down down down left up up up left right. up down left down down left down down left down down down left right.
I still love playing Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Prince of Persia and Shadow of the Colossus on the Playstation 2, even though they've all been remastered for Playstation 3, there's nothing quite like playing classic games on classic consoles
PS3 is classic now too lol
@@e90baby That's true, but the PS2 is older, and arguably the best console that Sony has ever created
yeah I own the Shadow remaster and I haven't even played it because I'd rather break out the memory card
I love all the games you listed here, and I would actually rather play them on the PS2 also. There are so many games that got ported to the PS3, but the ports were too buggy. Case and point: Ratchet Deadlocked. It’s so funny how that game actually lags on the PS3 version 😳 and, is missing a TON of the random comments that Dallas and Juanita make throughout the game.🤦♂️
If you like 3d platformers, check out Dr. Muto and I-Ninja. Haven: Call of the King is really good too, but I would only recommend it if you also like vehicle missions and turret sections.
Def Jam - Fight For New York, NBA Street Vol. 2, Rise To Honor, BloodRayne, Total Overdose, Max Payne, FIFA Street 2, True Crime - Streets Of L.A., Dead To Rights and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 are all games I can still play today! PS2 was such an incredible console.
NFL street 2 is legendary
I got a PS2 emulator and finally know how to work it . I been playing all the games. I got here comes the pain,Scarface,smackdown vs raw 2012,smackdown shut your mouth,the warriors. Now I'm a do games I never played
Yes I'm with this person right here, so many memorable games were left out.
damnn lit. My pc broke down 2 months ago and I've been somehow surviving and I really wanna buy a PS2 now but I can't seem to find somewhere I can buy it from
Black was awesome too
Midnight Club 3 was so replayable it was crazy. What a great vid
Hell yeah. I used to play that game and finished it within a week.
SSX and SSX Tricky are still two of the more entertaining games out there to play even today. I really wish they would remake/remaster them
Man, The PS2 was the Golden Age of Games, back when Companies didn't care about making Triple A Games but just wanted to experiment and make enjoyable Games
Tony Hawk Underground is one of my favourite games of all time, I still go back and play it from time to time and it’s still just as fun. The Rugrats games are really fun too
I will always enjoy cranking up its stellar soundtrack and laying down sick combos in New Jersey
Simpon's Hit and Run should for sure be considered. The cars control really well, the missions are fun, the unlockables are fun, and because the graphics are cartoony it still holds up visually.
Started emulating it on my phone whenever I'm out somewhere and got no WiFi you know I'm whipping out the Hit & Run 😂
Smackdown! Here Comes the Pain is a masterpiece.
Best wrestling game ever.
Man, I played that everyday for summer when it came out. EVERYday
If u know about ps2 definitely this game is about top 3 !!
Black by EA is a hidden gem.
The graphics and sound effects are awesome .
Yess i played that game so much i memorised everything😂
Best shooter ever. It was so hard.. I still haven't beat it
Still playable with game pass
And it looks very good at 1080p on pcsx2! Also on pcsx2 you get much needed save states..save anywhere.
Yes, 100% agree, that was a really good game.
Timesplitters 3 and MGS 3: Snake Eater are incredible games that I'd still play today.
bro how did he not mention the time splitters series.
Or Legacy of kain
I played MGS3 recently and man the controls are outdated, they should really make a new version with modern controls
Yeah time splitters 3 holds up WAAAAAY better than a ton of these picks.
@@danielsan9047 damn you got what you asked for
Another PS2 game that aged really well is the Ace Combat PS2 trilogy, they're very fun arcade flight action games that definitely gives the player the ultimate fantasy of being their country's top gun. Obviously the Graphics aged a bit especially compared to the latest game Ace Combat 7, but everything else like Gameplay, Story and Soundtrack is still a 10/10 even after all those years
It's true.
I actually played the Ace Combat PS2 Trilogy and they have aged like fine wine.
I hope they can add all 3 of them on Playstation Store.
Ace Combat 4 > Ace Combat 7
Second this
Facts , I had ace combat 3
100% agreed! Love the Ace Combat trilogy. One of the few good preorder bonuses I've ever seen was ps4 preorders of Ace Combat 7 came with a free digital version of Ace Combat 5.
The Burnout series needs to come back! I re-played Burnout Legends on the PSP recently (which looks pretty similar to Burnout 3 from a gameplay standpoint) and it holds up incredibly well. Not only is the game still fun to play, but it has an absolutely killer soundtrack. Racing through a city at high speed while listening to The Great Escape by We Are Scientists never gets old, even when the music is being played through crappy PSP speakers
For what it's worth, the HD remake of Burnout Paradise on the Switch will properly scratch that Burnout itch.
Just play the criterion need for speed games than.
For what it's worth Need for speed hot pursuit is pretty much a Burnout 3 remake in every way but just with the need for speed badge slapped on the front. Made by the same developer, the map layout and the race types are all exactly the same. That said even hot pursuit must be 10 years old now so they still need to get on and make a new one. Criterion is seriously under valued at EA.
Both Burnout and Flatout were so much fun
I bought Burnout Revenge on my xbox 360 over a decade ago, with games on demand...
Im happy i can still play that one today on an Xbox ONe or Series.... but man, i really wanna play NFS Most Wanted again, the original one.
Not BC compatible on anything im aware of, and neither the PS2 or Xbox 360 emulators can handle the damn thing...
People born after 95 will never understand how good Medal of Honor Frontline was. We had never seen something like it at the time.
The Majority won't, but there's some like me whe were born in 02 that had the chance to experience all these games.
Right
EA
'97 here and medal of honor frontline was literally my first world war game. That was back when they still did 4-player splitscreen. That's also back when medal of honor actually competed with Call of duty.
@@kotoamatsukami9230 Call of Duty wasn't even around when Frontline came out. Medal of Honor was also on PS1. Call of duty first came out in 03 I believe. By time you played Frontline and could remember playing there was already better games out. I'm talking going from Atari, Nintendo and Sega Genesis and PS1, Saturn and N64 to this was incredible. It's not about if you eventually played it...I am talking about the gamers who went from pixels on screen to this was amazing.
Jesus christ… the memories i have of MoH frontline . That was one of the first times i realized how beautiful and how important video game music can be
I still remember the soundtrack from the game
For whatever reason, the early and mid 2000s was a golden age for movie tie in games. They weren’t GOTY material but far better than they deserve to be.
Hell, even Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses ended up being a decent 3D action adventure platformer
From Golden eye in n64 (That was god tier)
And Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 1&2 games on the PS2 as well.
And The Punisher 2004 game and it was awesome.
@@ElectronicaAvanzada Yup. That and The Warriors on PS2 are virtually alone in that god tier
@@tenacious645 doesn’t changed the fact 2018 alone pretty much destroyed anything before it
@@ElectronicaAvanzada did you know the dev team had never made a game before? so cool haha and multiplayer was the last thing they added which was rushed. still a gem tho right?
PS2.....the Era of so many games you almost can't pick a favorite. The lord of the rings was a great game. Slycooper was and probably will be one of my favorites ever. I was injured and unable to walk in 5th grade for 6months and the sly series got me through that time between schooling. Punisher was good. Gta3, vice city and San Andreas was my jam for a time. Midnight club 2 and 3 dub edition still is a game I'd play if I had a ps2 or ps3 laying around. Dbz budakai and budakai tenkaichi(I know I spelled it wrong) series were great. Kingdom Hearts... enough said on that one. Lol straight gold. Hell there's games I barely remember the name of but have fond memories of the game play. I believe I played the Def jam games on ps2 and Xbox. So many games, so many memories, so much nostalgia... I'm now 28 and trying to hang on to my youth as long as I can. Lol
Sly 2 is a god tier game
The sly Cooper series got me through a lot too when I was a kid
@@MangaSlayer102 Man, same... It's a very chill / light hearted game but now i get emotional when playing it
@@robina.806 I feel that. I tried playing it again a couple years back and just couldn't do it. It was fun but took me back a little to hard
Yea DBZ deserves mention. It was definitely a high point for bandai namco studios
LoTR, Burnout, Battlefront, Ratchet and clank, Jak , Kingdom hearts, THPS/THUGs, NFS Most wanted, DMC, Sly, SoTC, FFX, GOW, RE4, MGS3, RoTS, NFL Street, Rayman 2, TM Black, Def Jam.. PS2 has so many classics that still hold up to this day it’s insane, like i could have kept going with that list for a couple more paragraphs lol
Games I am currently playing/replaying:
1. GUN
2. Battle For Bikini Bottom
3. Vexx
4. Transformers
5. Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks
I think I beat tony hawk underground like 3 or 4 times. I replay it almost every year. Amazing. Never looses it touch. Great video.
Tony Hawks series never gets talked about in lists like these! Strange considering how big they were and how highly rated they are too. Love to see it! THUG is my all time fave 💖
Battlefront 1 and 2 were such amazing games… played them around 2007-ish on the original xbox and I would never get tired of it.
Not having a single title from the Ratchet & Clank trilogy is an absolute sin. All three of those games are still gold even today.
I swear those games never get enough love.
Of all of my friends, only those of us on PC seem to care about Ratchet and Clank, none of them still on PSN even rate the games which is sad cause they're some of the best on there imo.
They have remasters on newer gen consoles and the first game even got a remake.
Dude literally starts the video off by saying he’s focusing on games locked to PS2. The Ratchet games have been remastered for ps3 and the first one remade for ps4
So many good games that I forget all of the good games. This was a nice video because it includes games you don't typically see on a PS2 list.
TLOS: Eternal Night
TLOS: Dawn of the Dragon
Spiderman 2: The Movie Game
Airblade
Tekken 5
The Sly Cooper trilogy
This list.... YESS YESSS YESSS YESSSSSSSS. Much love on this nostalgia trip Mojo guys and gals
Mace Windu: “Look at little Jango Junior. Gonna cry?”
Boba Fett: “Says the old Jedi who’s responsible for the Order’s downfall.”
Mace Windu: 😡
Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction, Maximo: Ghosts to Glory and Army of Zin, Marvel vs Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes, Devil May Cry, DMC2 x Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, Resident Evil: Dead Aim, SNK vs Capcom: SVC Chaos, Chaos Legion, Mega Man X: Command Mission, Mega Man Anniversary Collection, Capcom's Crimson Tears, Capcom Fighting Evolution, Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, Namco x Capcom, Resident Evil 4, Shadow of Rome, Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance, Capcom's God Hand, Fatal Frame 2: The Crimson Butterfly and Street Fighter Anthology are ALL one of My Most Favorite Childhood PS2 games I NEVER want to forget. They all bring back so many Good Memories playing them all!
Somewhat ironic that you include RE4 considering that the PS2 version is arguably the worst version
@@bronzin1445 Yeah, I suppose you're right. I don't suppose you've played or ever heard of Capcom's Maximo?
You seem to REALLY like Capcom games on the PS2, huh?
@@zzz43344 Heck Yeah I do! Who doesn't love Capcom?
frontline still to this day has one of if not the most faithful recreation of the Omaha beach landings in any video game period, COD WW2’s recreation is a close second but what makes frontline’s so special is that you’re 100% in the thick of it, there’s no cutscenes. Really puts you into their shoes and you really get to feel just how devastating it was
I loved playing viewtiful joe one and 2, my favorite was playing Dante from devil may cry as a PS unlock. Wish they’d bring it back even as a PS now exclusive.
Man those space battles in Battlefront 2 was so heartbreaking if your disc had a few scratches
You would either get to battle or have to constantly run away from spacefights
I have both Battlefront 04 and Battlefront 2 05 for the Original Xbox
Dude you finally helped me remember what game it was! I played Veiwtiful Joe on ps2 when I was a kid but I couldn’t remember the name! Thank you!
Interestingly enough, tony hawk’s underground was my first tony hawk game
Good times
Same
Samesies...then i got THUG2 and THAW...
@@SunshineSuperstar believe it or not i got thug 2 the same time as i had underground this was back in 2014
@@ssj2rhandy I believe it. THUG was my first TH game. Turns out it was the best of the bunch. But due to the fragile nature of those ps2 discs Ive re-bought both THUG and THUG2 on several occasions.
Even recently Ive done it again. Ill try my best to maintain them but im sure ive done that before...
The first one and american waste land were so tits
The Godfather Game on ps2 was the first game I ever played needs a remake!
My favorite PS2 game, I still play it from time to time and its awesome
Yes pal great game
It’s so crazy that back when these games came out I thought it looked so realistic and good
MOH frontlines tone and music really hit me hard as a kid. That game depicted war in such a different way than games now.
Mercenaries was crazy when I was younger wow !!!! You just unlocked a memory for me !!!
Tony Hawk's Underground will always be my favorite...oh! Even Jet Li's Rise To Honor is my underrated favorite as well
Rise to Honor is pretty underrated.
@@zzz43344 hell yeah! It sure is...even if some parts of the story is predictable, it's damn good
Fun fact: Rise to Honor was the direct inspiration for Sleeping Dogs. Jet Li was even suppose to lend his voice to the main protagonist but couldn’t due to his schedule at the time
my favorite underrated game ahh the memories
rise to honor is awesome, never see anyone mention it so this is cool to see
I used to play the War of the Monsters nonstop back in the day. A truly underrated gem.
Bring back city destroying monster fighting games!
Omg I remember renting that at a block buster haha. I finally got ahold of it by buying it for a few bucks on playstation store. It looks incredible on ps4/ps5 haha
I JUST MADE A COMMENT ABOUT THIS GAME 😂 I thought I was the only one who played that game! It is still amazing and was ahead of it’s time for sure
this thumbnail just started a 10 minute convo with myself about the inception of my video game journey. The Battlefront 2 cover is so nostalgic
Ayyyy! Some love for two of my favorite games!! The Thing and Mercenaries!
Could you make one for the best open world games of old/all time
The early medal of honours were so atmospheric. As a kid playing them i felt like i was in the game. Its hard to find a game now that still has that effect. The sniper level from allied assault is one of the loneliest and tense levels ever made in my opinion
Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater is my fave to replay. It took everything I love about the previous two games and improved on them in every way.
Amazing and Great Video 📺🎮
Having T.H.U.G., Mercenaries, Battlefront 2, and Midnight Club 3 on this list is great because those games all made up my formative gaming years but the fact that Burnout 3 is number one seals it for me. I have never played a racing game or really any game since then that has been able to match the same moment to moment thrills that that game did and for that reason it is still my favorite videogame ever. Plus it has the added bonus of also having the best soundtrack in a videogame. Ever.
the original Xbox versions of Mercenaries and Star Wars Battlefront II are backwards compatible on Xbox One & Series consoles, and are available digitally ( just wanted to mention that for anyone interested that might not have known )
also:
SSX Tricky, 3 and On Tour
Tony Hawk 3, 4 & American Wasteland
Summoner 2
Wild Arms 2
the original .Hack quadrilogy ( if you're lucky enough to get your hands on all 4....we need a remaster pack STAT )
Timesplitters 2 & Future Perfect
Ratchet & Clank series
Sly Cooper trilogy
Beyond Good & Evil
Tales of Legendia
Tales of the Abyss
X-Men Legends 1 & 2
Primal
Legacy of Kain games
Mega Man X Command Mission
Suikoden 3, 4 & 5
Such good memories of LOTR, me and my brother playing through the whole thing co-op. Just seeing it there makes me wanna get a ps2 and play it all over again!
Tony Hawk's underground & T.H.U.G 2 were literally the best Tony Hawk Games ever made imo, they actually had stories and awesome jackass like missions to play through. American wasteland was also awesome although I played that game on Xbox 360 but it followed the T.H.U.G. formula
*Man i want both of those Tony Hawk games remastered so bad they are the ones i had the most fun playing*
@@RonaldDorsinator same here my dude! T.H.U.G. 1&2 were perfect games that actually had a story to tell which was amazing especially the jackass style stunts lol man they need to be remastered!
Haven’t played the 2nd but I absolutely loved the stages on Underground 1.
@@eriklakeland3857 oh man T.H.U.G. 2 is just as good as the first and even better in some ways as it seems they were able to make the game bigger and better ✌️ I hope they release them one day
Thug 2 was a fantastic game and meant a lot to me as young teenager, but playing it today feels dated. Jackass and Bam Margera are not really relevant today. At least not in the same way it was back then. Thug 1 still holds up 100%
Tony Hawk’s Underground had some of the best stages in the series. New Jersey, Manhattan, and Moscow are all 3 of my all time favorites. I could do combos throughout New Jersey for hours.
Tooks me a couple of hours to find beautiful ps2 game list then I found this .. Thanks for this video .. now I'm gonna play all these game in my mobile phone using an emulator ..
SWBF was legit a top 3 game of my childhood. So many hours with friends on this game
Never even mentioned the challenges from burnout 3. Causing as much damage as possible. Good old nostalgia 😊
The Thing needs a remake on modern consoles, along with Code Veronica and Dino Crisis. I would buy those games in a heartbeat.
Great video 💯
Battlefront II, Fatal Frame II, Burnout, Tony Hawk's Underground and MoH: Frontline glad these where on the list
Battlefront 2 is far superior than what EA gave us. I tried the the first Battlefront EA delivered and returned it within 3 days of buying it, because there was nothing left to do in single player.
Yeah
Facts
you should try the second one nowadays its absolutely amazing
So happy you put mercenaries on this list such a classic and underrated game never understood why no one talks about it it’s so fun and has some funny moments as well
I played the demo for Battlefront 2 so many times. It was so much fun
I'm 30 and just discovered consoles, so I'm starting at ps5 and I'm in heaven
I feel bad for you but better late than never I guess
Enjoy the ride! You've got plenty to catch up on.
@Frank R, you should really go get a PS2, and also get your games, console, and accessories at flea markets, swap meets, yard sales, and garage sales, as you will have far less likely of a chance to get ripped off by scalpers in those places than anywhere else. However, on rare occasions, you can use online auction websites to score good deals on them as well.
What’s your favorite PS2 game you could still replay even today? Let us know down in the comments.

I feel like it's underrated games he chose
Right that’s what I’m saying both are classics
Got too popular now
Well did you even listen to what he said? He wanted to check other titles instead of the obvious ones smh
I recently played Van Helsing on PS2 as I could never complete it as a kid. Honestly had the time of my life. Such an old game but so much better than most games now a days.
I have fond memories of medal of honor, COD is like run from point a to b and shoot everything, medal of honor had objectives, it just the same fun of playing perfect dark or goldeneye 007, which is awesome 🤩
The other 007 games were better than goldeneye
@@mania4270 the world is not enough from n64 and one of the GameCube that are awesome, the other are only good
@@NeroTP world is not enough, nightfire, agent under fire, everything or nothing, and from Russia with love were probably better than goldeneye. I respect golden eye for being the game to bring fps on console and revolutionize the genre itself. But I prefer the more spy centric elements of the later bond games
@@mania4270 never played everything or nothing, nor from Russia with love, so can't confirm or deny, but the others I agree
@@NeroTP if you still have a ps2 or get a emulator everything or nothing is a very good game that still holds up well and it's the best james bond game since goldeneye n64 doesn't hold up aswell and has terrible controls
I remember as a kid I bought Medal of Honor Frontlines. I spent days trying figure out Normandy. When I finally beat it saw level 2 I was amazed. I thought it stayed on that damned beach lmao I still tell people about that being my favorite shooter
My older brother and I could never get past the FIRST island in Super Mario World 🤣. Not that's pathetic
Great list.
Manhunt... That game still gives you goosebumps
The first Mercanaries is still a blast to play also Shadow of the Colossus
I had those games.
But i have to sell them because my old PS2 console broke on accident.
Robot Alchemic Drive and Steambot Chronicles. I'm surprised neither made the list, honestly. Both are excellent and unique experiences that have never been ported or remade.
The Earth Defense Force games, which are not to be confused with the awesome SNES/NSFC Jaleco side-scrolling shooter game, are essentially sequels to Robot Alchemic Drive.
I love how the video has the burnout 3 Takedown menu music playing in the background.
Thumbnail itself intrigued me instantly especially lord of the rings the return of the king was my favourite game second to DBZ BUDOKAI 3 AND TENKICHI 3
The PS2 era is my favorite era of all time
i used to love playing Burnout Revenge and MK Armageddon on ps 2 in 2009/early 10s
I used to play Midnight Club 3 remix online back in the day on PS2. Good times…
Still playing Urban Reign to this day! Grateful for emulators and the devs who work on them.
i still remember the good old days when having save file from different game can unlock new stuff in other game. in Burnout 3 case, i was surprised when i unlocked BLACK car just because i have BLACK savedata
Or war of the monsters if you have twisted metal on your memory card
i grew up with all these games, always wanted a remaster of undergrand and burnout 3, but dont think we will ever get it, its also too bad that rockstar left midnight club hanging and will never see a new one of them
Stuntman is another gem which could make this list. So many great games during the PS2 era.
I have all the Tony hawk ps2 games starting with 3 . It brings me back everytime
Ps2 had some classics: A PS2 game for me that is underrated was Freedom Fighters.
That game was awesome back in the day and I reckon is worth a shout now👍
From the makers of Hitman I think, same engine.
@@MacCanma OG hitman is awesome too!
Tekken 5 Had It Gave It To My Nephew along with my PS2 bad idea entirely
Where my Def Jam FFNY fellas at? This game was and is pure gold. Still great after nearly 20 years ❤️🔥💪🏻
All of the old gta’s burnt out 3 glad you had that on the video btw very slept on and also the old matrix games and the old tony hawk games and the old mk games lol
The two towers and return of the king were such great games
Star wars battlefront 2, grand theft aup san andreas, burnout revenge, the sly Cooper trilogy are child hood fun
I just picked up Burnout 3 a week ago, and man, I keep going back to it despite having other consoles like a PS5 to play.
I still play Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 with my old Logitech G27 pretty much annually. Definitely a series that still would fit in today.
Sonic: Unleashed was my FAVORITE game as a kid, and PS2 version still holds up to this day.
I played the PS3 version recently, and it's NOT AT ALL the same 😡
Noooo, every version of that game sucked
Smackdown here comes the pain aged really well too for gameplay wise
hell yeah this video is exactly i needed
I recently started playing thug 2 again on my series x, brings back so much childhood memories
How are you playing it?
When I had a PS2, I couldn't put down T.H.U.G. for the life of me
Same, my personal favorite game in the franchise!
I also had a PS2 and i had so many good and great games on that console.
My most favorites are:

THUG 1 and THUG 2 for me
That lord of the rings game was really dope
Wow so many great games… underground was my favorite THPS by far. And battlefront 2 was so fun, I remember playing that for years
Cool list.
Champions of norrath 1 and 2 are the best Arpgs on the ps2. The games were amazing and won game of the month in playstation magazine both times. They still hold up and are some of my favorite rpgs ever. Put over 1k hours into it
CoN was simply awesome ❤
Ys VI: The Ark of Napishtim, and Shining Force Neo, are both also worth your time.
