That Mr Mosquito hahaha. Looks awful and amazing at the same time 🤣
Hahaha surprisingly quite a fun time!
was a genious game xdd
Kingdom Hearts II is a hidden diamond 👌
I remember it coming out and thinking fuck if im playing that - fast foward 21 years and i want it - £50 though on re sale market lol
Games like that were the perfect change of pace. We need more stuff like that. Bust a move ( groove), Who can stop Mr Domino, Parapa the Raper, Jet Grind Radio( set) .
Darkwatch is awesome!
yeah and whats more? its coop! 😀
Love seeing Drakan on the list. One of my favorite PS2 games. I always mention it as a PS2 hidden gem, along with Dog's Life and Downhill Domination.
Same here, such an overlooked gem!
I love Downhill Domination!!!
all those games are great. always shocked that Drakan: The Ancients' Gates, needed a whole memory card to save.
Dropping a like for the inclusion of that dope track from the "Top Gear" OST at 5:05 🤙🏻
When I first played Killswitch (and Winback), I didn't know how much they would influence all third-person shooters during the 360 era.
Way before Gears of War. The game kicks ass.
@@PsychomachineryEBM Resident Evil 4 and Killswitch basically led to Gears of War

Great video man, I've discovered some new games to ad at my collection
God hand was a absolute Masterpiece.i don't understand the bad ratings it got.Not fair.im still hopin for a remake.
Totally agree, would love a rerelease on modern systems!
@@thatvideogamesshow the moment I saw the thumbnail.i was like yes ,finally someone appreciating my fav. Game Of all time.
Genuinely surprised it didn’t do well. The combat system alone is incredible, especially the way you can essentially mix and match all the moves like.
@@thatvideogamesshow it's crazy a$$ game.its incredible how some games dont leave u.
Yeah!
I spent a lot of time on Darkwatch. Gets really good as you keep progressing with tough enemies, some cool level designs and awesome weapons.
A good FPS set in gothic Western
Damn I love this list... games I HAVENT heard of. Not recycled shit that everyone knows. Great work man. Really good video!
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!
Nice to see Drakan. A truly underrated gem and one of my favorite PS2 games.
Mr. Mosquito was my first game on the PS2, and this brought back many memories. I'll check it out again for sure!
2 of these are legitimate hidden gems. Haunting Grounds and Mr. Mosquito.
Haunting ground was my best experience on ps2. Totally a hidden game !
Draken The Ancient Gates, still one of my favorites of all time!
Blood Will Tell (Dororo)
Bujingai
Kuon (maker of Dark Souls)
Shinobi and Nightshade
These games are amazing, but nobody seem to have heard of them unfortunately.
Will have to check these out! Thanks for the tip.
They’re all really good. Nightshade takes a lot of technique!
@@craiganderson7986 Nightshade's design is very uninspired to me, but it's improved a lot while maintain what made the prequel special. It's definitely the better of the games, and it can be brutal for those who are used to the hack n slash of its time.
I wish Sega market the game better. I blindly bought this game not even aware that it was the sequel, and I absolutely love shinobi(ps2) lol
I wish kuon was cheaper
Shinobi and nightshade are good.
R.A.D was so fun! My local video store had a copy, I rented regularly.
Samurai Western is a hidden gem too.
Got a new subscriber. Thanks for the great content, keep up the great work!
Thanks for the kind words!
Dude your videos are the best thank you for making them
Thanks so much, comments like this make it all worth it 🙂
Good stuff!
Urban Reign is a classic. Was one of my favorite games on PS2
I know there were a TON of great PS2 games but Kill.Switch was so much fun. idk about Alien Hominid being on this list though. maybe the youngsters weren't around but if I recall correctly that game got a ton of praise and love when it came out.
Love your channel!
Thanks surfer! 🙂
@@thatvideogamesshow No problem'o!
Here are some good ps2 gems
-samurai western
-raw danger
-the warriors
-fahrenheit the indigo prophecy
-colloseum road to freedom
-the getaway
-tenchu fatal shadows
-tenchu wrath of heaven
I watched this hoping to see Drakan. I heard the music first and lost my shit! Well done. And mentioning RAD as well?! You sir got a new subscriber.
im glad you mention the Alien Hominid
yo, the textures and models on Haunting Ground though! wow. beautiful. gonna give it a try
A pretty good list. Love killswitch
Awesome video what’s the intro song? ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
WARNING: Drakan needs an entire 15 blocks memory card! Excellent game btw!
WHAT??
Mr. Mosquito is so unknown I bought it for $2 at gamestop like 10 years ago. Goes for over $60 used on Ebay now
Brilliant.
Completely agree with kill.switch, really cool game but just lacked a bit more.
Red star is another game I have recently picked up, looks really cool.
PS2 is such a cracking console 🙂
One of my go to Hinton Jim’s for the PlayStation two is zone of the enders one and two. You can either pick up one and two as an HD PS3 port or if you want to play on the PlayStation for you can play zone of the enders 2 Mars Addition It’s got enhanced graphics and also you can play it with the PlayStation VR as well.
I remember looking at my game manuals so much as a kid, and at the end of the booklet they'd always advertise other games. Darkwatch was on Resident Evil 4's and I always thought it looked interesting but never actually played or even watched it. Odd to see it again after all these years.
hahaha and then TOP GEAR BGM on RED STAR... nice combination sir!!
Robot Alchemy Drive and Haunting Ground are 2 of these hidden gems of PS2 what need remastering and sequel, because they are SUPER COOL!
I was never a fan of run and hide games...but the jiggle physx in haunting grounds is making me reconsider...
Now R.A.D THAT...is a true hidden gem...but it was the abysmal on foot missions that killed it's momentum...

Robot Alchemic Drive is a TRIP so glad to see it mentioned
The Red Star is such an underrated gem!
It's also on PSP
You are killing my bankroll with these suggestions.
My bad! 😅
Darkwatch was so fucking badass, even had splitscreen multiplayer and co-op too!
RIP High Moon Studios
A few more that I would recommend is Monster Attack, Primal and Ghosthunter.
Nice to see god hand on the thumbnail, still my fav game
the PS2 was something else!
This system has a huge amount of hidden gems: Battle Engine Aquila, Dead to Rights, Rune, Jurassic Park Operation Genesis...
Great suggestions
I'm going to take a guess before watching the video that Urban Chaos is not included. If it is I commend you for including it since many top hidden gems lists rarely do. It is in my opinion one of the best 1st person shooters of that generation but sadly many people overlook it.
These are great games, most of them fighting and shooting games. One of the best games in my opinion is a dungeon crawler/fighting game called Champions of Norrath! I've spent hours on this game and never get bored of it.
Never heard of that one, I’ll have to check it out!
Also, Champions Return to Arms
Miserably underrated. Stupid how people didn't give it a chance.
Darkwatch is my all time favorite game. SO underrated
Top 10 Hidden Amazing PS2 games review Video
Mister Mosquito - Even better, if you wanted a break, there's a hidden bicycle-themed sumo game which also took advantage of the rotating analog controllers on the disk with one analog stick controlling the direction, while the other was your "pedals." But, back to the main game, there were hidden jars to unlock the best ending (which I never got, sadly) and you could revisit levels to fill up the jars. However there were 3 jars in the final level and filling up any jar beyond what was needed for the level would be far riskier than the ones you needed for the level. This meant ideally that you would fill up one of the last jars per target on the last level, but since you could only save between levels, the last level resulted in me being slapped enough times I settled for the basic ending. Also, initiating combat with the people and hitting their calm spots in under a certain time limit unlocked new skins for the player.
Robot Alchemic Drive needs a sequel and remaster.
god hand is still my favourite, i beated hard mode 78 times and still playing on pcsx2 :)
Such a great game! Wish we could get a modern remaster.
Good add on mister mosquito. It's an oddity like incredible crisis for ps1
Such a unique experience
A lot of very expensive games on your list but they’re solid games
They weren't expensive 15-20 years ago
Most people watching these videos will just emulate the game or pirate them onto their ps2.
So there's no sense in me even looking at them what you say is true
Godhand is one of the best game on PS2 console, such a masterpiece.
Shadow of destiny
Psychonauts
Xenosaga trilogy
Great choices!
I think a lot of people know about psychonauts
Yes, Shadow of Destiny - just finished on PSP - excellent well hidden gem!
I enjoyed Shadow of Destiny alot wish they made a sequel
@@PAUL-uk1le
Or at least a next gen port
Darkwatch looks like a game from PS3/Xbox 360 that no one has ever heard of.
It looks very good, considering the hardware.
Robot Alchemic drive looks interesting.
Drakan reminds me of something you would get on PC back in the day.
There are so many games on the system, and there's always something you've never heard of before.
Drakan the Ancient Gates is the best PS2 RPG, period.
These videos make these games quadruple in price so thanks
Not always.
Rare games are already $$$
Heatseeker is literally $12 complete...
Dark watch for OG Xbox is around $20...
@@BendApparatus well clearly not always but it’s a fact that some games skyrocket when people know that people are going to be looking for them
This is a line I hope to hear in a future video:
TVGS: "When they announced a remaster of Mr. Mosquito for PS6, I lost my shit!"
crankin 'em out lad eh? :)
Back on the grind! 😅
@@thatvideogamesshow We appreciate it :)
Thanks mate
Alien hominid looks right up my alley
Man there were just so many good games on the old consoles
God Hand is EXCELENT! I Realky would like a remake
Only one I played and own is God Hand. Hell yeah it's a must have
Bro I had no clue alien homide was on the ps2 I need it now
played a lot of God Hand, but one "hidden gem" is Gungrave game.
Great selection!
I have been wanting to play Mister Mosquito! I just downloaded the PS2 emulator, I'll buy a ps2 usb controller too..
awesome games,a pity that they are now a bit expensive.i wish i could have Darkwatch and God Hand
I picked up those games long ago and still have them.
Killswitch is fun even now
altered beast was one of the most amazing games ever on ps2...
God hand is my favorite game.
It's fun, funny, and plus the story pretty good.
Is Downhill Domination underrated? It's actually quiet popular in my country, but I rarely found anyone mention it on internet
Never heard of it
Man i hate how games like Haunting Grounds got locked to only PS2,
underperformed and now are so obscure, almost impossible to obtain and play :(
It looks really interesting and i would play the crap out of it in 2021 given the chance.
$250 for a naked disc...yikes...
🦟Finally but the bullet and bought played through Mister Mosquito $ in October. It's one of my fav games ever. I wish we got The sequel to Mister mosquito: Let's go Hawaii and Seaman 2 for ps2 localized outside of japan.
Mister Mosquito PSVR is wanted.
Damm i remember play alot of good old gems gane like run like hell but didn't any chance play some other hidden gems game, probaly the last hidden gems gane i used to play although i forgot the bame of the game is that one street fight open world game where you fight gangs and some character also will fight zombie looking enemy later in late game, as i remember we got introduce these glowing green eyes and body Zombie like enemy is at A hotel after you reach floor 25 i think, man it was good old game.
Are ps2 games still popular? I myself considering playing some on emulator.
My favourite is
1. Robot ....
2. Alien ....
How about Disaster Report, Metal Saga, and Dark Souls’ granddaddy, King’s Field: The Ancient City. Let’s die a lot!
Was that a Top Gear song at 5:45 ?
That was my thoughts, seemed like a remix or maybe from top gear 2 or the other one 3000 or whatever. The first was the one I played the most.
It was!😁😁😁😁
Still waiting for a mention of “Steambot Chronicles”!
since u included giant robots..Tetsujin 28 is better and definitely a hidden gem. fun and addicting.
Darkwatch one of the best fps games i have ever played.
Area 51 is another great shooter.
4:13 wth this sounds like a brazilian game
That's a pressure point alright
Indigo prophecy
Haunting Grounds is hundreds of dollars! A little pricey haha.
If you can’t afford it, emulation is always an option 🙂
I paid $39.99 when the game launched.
Mr. Mosquito 😆
Urban Chaos Riot Response without a doubt the most underrated game on PS2 it's a shame more people don't know it... Simply Put.....
It's a must for any shooter fan
Eu Adoro The Red Star.
I got the Bouncer, Simpsons Road Rage, and Code Vernonia X for peanuts at a local charity shop about a year back, all mint. Also bought a Wii console with a wii motion plus controller and official GameCube controller for £20 ( $27)
It was one of the best and only charity shops in my area for deals until more people started realising they had a lot of good deals and the management changed. Now it's just not as good and they're charging standard Ebay prices.
Me and my friend got to go out in the store room to look at items no one else had access to. If you can, try and get in their store rooms. You can often get amazing deals because they just want to get rid of stuff. The guy that let us in got scolded by upper management. Karens ruining everything, as usual. They were fucking pissed that we were in there because they knew we were after deals.
Here are a few more:
Dr. Muto
Zapper
Summoner
Summoner 2
god hand pog
GOD HAND in the thumbnail? Best beatmup ever
FORBIDDEN SIREN, god why is everyone ignoring the best tool in the toolbox?
Red star yee gem but after level 18 its get insaly hard.
Get a kaico adapter for ps2 it fixes the dark picture quality of ps2.
GodHand is the GOAT
Drakan: The Ancients' Gates, is OBLIVION for ps2.
better still you get a dragon for a partner. ridden, flown or free roaming.
