  • The Playstation 2 AKA PS2 has some great shoot 'em ups (shmups). Some of the shmups that I cover in this episode are some that I have never heard other people talk about on UA-cam, so I though it would be fun to showcase some shmups that defined the PS2 as a great system for shoot em ups.

      If you have a PS2(can play PS1 games), Sega Saturn, Dreamcast and a Wii (can play Gamecube games and could emulate TurboGrafx-CD, Sega CD, Super Famicom and CPSII, Neo-Geo, 90's classics arcade boards) you get 97% of the best shumps

    The PS2 seemed like an era when SHMUPS were overlooked in general.

    That was a great watch. I added all of the games to my PS2 wishlist. Gracious V and Raiden III have my most attention. Strikers would be more of an extra buy since I have the Psikyo collection.

    I didn't play many shmups on the PS2. I always felt intimated by em as a kid. Lol. I mostly got my Shmup fix at the Arcades.
    With that being said these look amazing and I missed out BIG time Holmes.
    Great List bro👍🏻

    I would definitely enjoy any of there for a bit of fun (with the infinite lives cheat to keep me interested in playing). Also, (though you didn't mention it in the vid), it's good to know SHMUPS are still alive and well in the world of indie games.

    I used to enjoy playing shmups. I wasn't good at them, but I enjoyed them xD I never really played shmups on the PS2, but my friend brought over some rented games that were shmups on the SNES. I remember one was called Bio something.

      @@BigRetroShow Earth Atlantis for the PS4 (previously sold via Playasia) is another unique shmup I would like to purchase but probably for the Switch since it's cheaper, it's available for the Switch digitally and physical copies can be had at VideoGamesNewYork. It's worth taking a look at for the different art style.
