    Yes 007 NightFire!! Such an under appreciated game for any console or PC. I had it on PC and loved we got a 007 game that wasnt a direct movie tie in.
    I appreciate the differentiation between "best" and "what we play." Being about the same age as Wes, I dont always have the time to sync hours and hours into a "Best" game and sometimes just need a good ol quick nostalgia kick.
    Enjoying the series guys keep it up! Cheers!

    Great video guys. Still play OutRun 2006 Coast to Coast pretty regularly on the PS2. Don't have an Xbox, and missed out on the digital copy of the HD version on PS3 (another con for digital only), so PS2 is the best version I've got (also on PSP). Still quite amazing and impressive to this day. Absolutely love the game, and the PS2. And even though, a lot of the games are on other consoles/collections now, I still fire up the Taito Legends collections (1 and 2) every now and again.

      @@GamingOffTheGrid , I love your list, but, honestly, I am convinced that there are far better games that should have been mentioned in this video, so here are my top ten criminally underrated video games for the PS2 that people should play.
      10 - Battle Engine Aquila - this game is perhaps one of the most underrated types of games in its genre and yet it has gone under the radar, plus many of the things that you can do in 007: Nightfire, you can also do in this game, and, unlike 007: Nightfire, you can actually fly in this game.
      9 - Area 51 - yeah, you would be thinking about the on-rails shooter that made an arcade appearance, as well as had N64, Sega Saturn, PS1, and PC appearances, but, here is the thing, the PS2 had a criminally underrated reboot of the game that is among one of the best FPS titles that you can play on the PS2. The things that you could do in this game were of a level of insanity that would be matched by few video games in its genre, such as the System Shock, Bioshock, and Bulletstorm video games, which is honestly pretty good company.
      8 - ESPN NFL 2K5 - yeah, I like the baseball games that were mentioned in this video (and I have my great-nephew to thank for introducing me to the MLB: The Show franchise), but, if there is a sports game that has just as much, if not MORE, longevity than either that game, OR MVP Baseball 2005, then I would posit that this game does that in spades, as it is one of the five longest most modded video games that are still supported by online communities of all time, with only the MVP Baseball 2005 video game that was mentioned in the video, and the Doom I, Doom II, and Final Doom games having longer, as well as more heavily supported, online modding communities. Also, when you literally make a video game that literally scared both the NFL AND EA Sports straight with its Madden franchise, as well as have not only almost all of the features of Madden 2005, but also play them better than Madden 2005, you know that you are a legend. Granted, that is also a double edged sword, as it technically is a legally permitted monopoly that has been allowed to be made over the past 17 years, and one of which any competent judge would have kindly told both the NFL AND EA to break up the monopoly that they had over American football games, or else be broken up themselves, but the fact remains that it was one of the best marketing strategies that had ever been done for a video game of all time.
      7 - Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 - yes, this is not a skateboarding game, and, to be honest, I should have been like everyone else and had mentioned a safe title like SSX Tricky, or WipeOut XL, but when it comes to some of the big sports games that are on the PS2, everyone talks about either the Madden series, particularly, Madden 2005, or they talk about FIFA 08, and, while that game is a good one, Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 is simply a better game of soccer/European football/association football/footie overall, despite it coming out quite late in the PS2 life cycle, so late, in fact, that the last game for the PS2, which was its rival FIFA 14, had both PS3 AND PS4 ports, just a mere two years later. You basically should think that this is the soccer/European football/association football/footie version of ESPN NFL 2K5, or MVP Baseball 2005, and you would be right.
      6 - ESPN College Hoops 2K5 - while its later sequel of NCAA College Hoops 2K8, as well as other games, such as the NBA Live, NBA 2K, NBA Street, NCAA March Madness, and NBA Ballers games might have gotten more attention, this game had around 400 regular teams, and around 200 historical teams, to choose from, plus the ability to make your own team in every aspect, even the mascots and arenas.
      5 - Crimson Sea 2 - the first game was on the Xbox, yet the sequel to that game is on the PS2, and, to be honest, both games are awesome, so imagine typical Dynasty Warriors game play that is mixed in with elements of Alien Syndrome, Alien Storm, and the Contra franchise, and, boom, you have Crimson Sea 1 and Crimson Sea 2.
      4 - WWF SmackDown!: Just Bring It! - yes, it is the last WWF professional wrestling video game ever, and, yes, it is a little rougher around the edges than WWE SmackDown: Shut Your Mouth! and WWE: Here Comes The Pain!, but it also has SO many match types to choose from, many of which have yet to make appearances in not just modern professional wrestling video games, but also modern professional wrestling (you bunch of weak politically correct pansies), and while its Create-A-Wrestler Mode is not as robust as in later WWE titles, including WWE SmackDown! Vs. Raw 2006, it still is a pretty good one overall, and it is certainly a step above previous WWF titles. I also forgot to mention that the game handles a LOT better than WWE SmackDown! Vs. Raw 2006 as well.
      3. Rez - I find that Rez is a far more unique game than the Time Crisis series, as well as is also a far better game overall, and that it also does not get enough love.
      2. Darius Gaiden (the Taito Legends 2 version) - yes, this game has a ton of games inside of that little disc, but, to be honest, the one that you want to play on this list is Darius Gaiden. While there is no Darius Gaiden Extra Version that is available, Darius Gaiden is still as fun to play in 1994 as it was in the 2000s, and just as it is also now in the 2020s, as it is a part of the Darius Cozmic Collection. Yes, Darius Gaiden might not have as many ships to choose from as R-Type Final, but it has several things that R-Type Final lacks, which is a lot more levels to choose from, more enemies, and more bosses, practically no slowdown, and a port that is arguably as good as its Sega Saturn and PS1 ports back in the day. I especially love the fact that you can have black hole bombs that can destroy everything that is on the screen, and/or cause sub-bosses to join you as a giant projectile firing mechanical meat shield that can make your already super powerful Silver Hawk into a force to be reckoned with for the Belsar.
      1. Dr. Muto - yes, I like the Sly Cooper series, and the first game was a legendary PS2 title, and its PS2 sequels, and its PS3 sequel, are all not bad, either, but, in all honesty, the story line was stronger than the games as a whole. Now if you want a criminally underrated 3D action platformer to play, then I have to let you know about this title from Midway that came out around 2002. Unlike Sly and his friends, you do not play as a thief with a heart of gold that wants to get his life straightened out, as well as has a complicated relationship with an INTERPOL agent, Dr. Muto is just wanting to be a scientific and inventive genius except that he, well, is not, and he is not as kid friendly as Sly and company, nor is he as hypocritical, filthy, perverted and sleazy as Conker, but that does not mean that this game should be ignored, no, not by a long shot.
      I will also make a second post about a list of honorable mentions for the PS2 that are worth playing.

    • @paxhumana2015
      @paxhumana2015 2 роки тому +1

      @@GamingOffTheGrid , here is my list of honorable mentions.
      Phantom Brave - despite it being set in the same world as the Disgaea games, it is like that game, but this time, you play as the heroes.
      La Pucelle: Tactics - this game, like the one that I had previously mentioned, namely, Phantom Brave, lets you play as the heroes, and both games are honestly as deep, as well as long, and as good, as the whole Disgaea series, if not even BETTER games than the whole Disgaea series, and yet Disgaea gets all of the love because people are stupid and love to promote evil over good in their lives. Granted, neither game has as many features as Makai Kingdom, but they are honestly just as fun as that game, plus Makai Kingdom only came out on the PSP instead of also making an appearance on the PS2 in the NTSB-U or PAL regions, which honestly is a war crime.
      Test Drive Unlimited - despite having some issues, and not having certain cars and motorcycles like its Xbox 360 and PC ports, as well as omitting some features of those games, this port of the game is still a very solid one, even if there are issues with the controls, opponent AI, and a lack of dynamic lighting and weather patterns. However, this game, as well as its PSP port, both have features that were later put into the fan mod PC version of Test Drive Unlimited Platinum (which is to not be confused with the Japanese Xbox 360 title of the same name, despite both games being based upon the same base game).
      True Crime: Streets of L.A., - despite not having nearly as much of a budget as the Grand Theft Auto or Saints Row franchises, I honestly find this game to be a far better game than any of them overall, as its combat system, enemy AI, vehicular handling, overall story content, and story all are superior to either franchise in every way and one can also argue that it influenced one other criminally underrated title that was made by Rockstar for newer video game consoles and other gaming systems, namely, L.A. Noire, and, in a sense, it kind of feels simultaneously like a prototype for that series, as well as a sequel to that series that happens around five decades later. I will also point out that its game exploration map is also bigger than ALL of the Grand Theft Auto and Saints Row area exploration maps COMBINED in the terms of just how much area that can be explored in the game, so one can also come to the conclusion that it, in a way, had also influenced the Test Drive Unlimited games in the terms of the accuracy to real life locations with their own in game maps. Yes, its sequel of True Crime: New York was kind of disappointing, and its second sequel of True Crime: Hong Kong, was thought to be ultimately cancelled, but it got a second life on newer video game consoles as the Sleeping Dogs franchise, so, despite the game having an inferior sequel, as well as it getting a name and producer change with the remnants of its second sequel being remade, and reworked, one could say that True Crime: Streets of L.A. was far ahead of its time. Also, like L.A. Noire, True Crime: Streets of L.A. had a morality system, which is one of the reasons of why I value it and L.A. Noire over either the Saints Row or Grand Theft Auto franchises, and that said morality system also had made there be a truly dynamic and expansive story line that changes practically each time that you play the game.
      Cold Winter - this game is not just one of the most arguably, as well as criminally, underrated, FPS games that is on the PS2, but also of all time. Sure, you can talk about Half-Life, 007: Nightfire, Unreal Tournament, Quake III: Revolution, Star Wars Battlefront I and II, the Time Splitters Trilogy, and even the Serious Sam games all that you want, but, in all honesty, Cold Winter not only brought back game mechanics that had been abandoned from FPS games a decade prior, but that it also brought plenty of new things to the table, many of which are still used in modern video games.
      Black - yes, I had mentioned another FPS, but this one is also a criminally underrated masterpiece. Yes, EA had plenty of awesome games, including FPS titles in the Star Wars and Battlefield franchises, but, to be honest, Black is the best of the bunch, and while it got a spiritual sequel on more modern video game consoles under Codemasters, rather than EA, namely due to EA cancelling the title, it, meaning the cancelled Black 2 came back as the horribly rushed Bodycount, which, unfortunately, was...average at best. Had Black 2 been allowed to be made, I think that it would have far surpassed both Bodycount and Black in quality. Oh, and if you have an Xbox or PC, well, Black is on those systems as well.
      NCAA Football 06 - one can argue that this game is not only the greatest college American football game that is on the PS2, but also the greatest college American football game of all time, AND certainly an easy top five pick for the greatest American football game of all time.
      Radiata Stories - this underrated Square Enix game honestly is a far better title than any of the Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts entries and one can also say that it influenced more recent offerings from Square Enix, such as Octopath Traveler and the Bravely Default series. The core of the game is a hybrid of the Saga series of Square Enix and the Suikoden series from Konami, so there is a lot of content to go through in this game.
      Castle Shikigami 2 - this game is a super rare, and, thus, consequently, super hard to find, vertical shooter for NTSB-U PS2 systems, yet it is among the best of those sorts of titles to offer on the PS2, and it is also a superb touhou (bullet hell) shooter, not to mention that it is also one of the few of them that ever made it to Western audiences.
      Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 - while this game did not reinvent the wheel when it came to the FPS, it sure made a good claim to the genre, and it is seriously worth your time to play this game.
      I will continue my honorable mentions in another post.

      @@GamingOffTheGrid , I am continuing my honorable mentions for PS2 games that still should be played in 2022.
      Raiden III - while it is not as good as its predecessors, it is still a surprisingly good game for the PS2 and it is also worth your time. However, if you truly want to play Raiden I and Raiden II, well, most PS2 systems can play most PS1 games and you can just pop in a PS1 video game that is called The Raiden Project, which has both games on there (sorry, no Super Raiden or Raiden DX ports are in the game, unfortunately, but, hey, at least you have automatic firing options now, which is a VERY good inclusion in those games) and have some near-arcade perfect fun with those two games that are inside of that game instead.
      Project: Snowblind - this game is also a must play FPS for the PS2 that does not get enough love. Both Cold Winter and this game have SO many good things that are going for those titles.
      SWAT: Global Strike Team - while not as solid of a game as Cold Winter or Project Snowblind, it is still a pretty good, as well as criminally underrated, game in its own right.
      Return to Wolfenstein: Operation Resurrection - while it is not quite Doom III, or as good as the modern Wolfenstein games, it did lead to those other Wolfenstein games being made, but it is also not as bad of a game as other people claim that it is on the PS2.
      Tomb Raider: Legend - after the disastrous Tomb Raider (V): The Angel of Darkness nearly killed this franchise, the sixth game in the franchise, namely, Tomb Raider: Legend, brought it back to spectacular fashion, and it is also not only one of the highlights of the entire franchise, but that it also is one of the most graphically beautiful games of any system that it is on, and the PS2 is definitely not an exception to the rule. Moreover, the whole Tomb Raider franchise has gone on to inspire a whole host of other games in its wake, ranging from the Uncharted franchise to the vast majority of LEGO games.
      Monster Rancher 3 - in a glut of Pokemon clones, this franchise was honestly one of the better ones, and, furthermore, both the kinds of monsters, as well as the types that they could unleash, are FAR beyond the entire scope of the three decade old Pokemon franchise, and this game of the franchise is honestly one of the best entries, if not THE best entry, of the whole franchise. Moreover, you can literally use CDs, as in actual music CDs, regardless of where they are from in the world, AND DVDs, to make your monsters in the game, and this entry in the franchise was the first game to allow for both things to be used for this game. Also, it is the only game that is in the series that allows you to trade monster data between monster cards, and to do something similar to that, you would need to have two different systems and a linking cable to do that to Pokemon games, as well as two copies of the same game.
      Monster Rancher 4 - this game is almost as good as its predecessor, but what applied to that game pretty much applies to this one as well.
      NCAA Football 2004 - this game is another solid college American football game.
      NCAA Football 07 - this game is another solid college American football game.
      NCAA Football 08 - this game is another solid college American football game.

      ​@@GamingOffTheGrid , I am continuing my honorable mentions for PS2 games that still should be played in 2022.
      P.T.O. IV - a long time has come from this game having its heyday on the SNES/NSFC and the Sega Genesis, but this last game in the series is arguably one of its best entries.
      Dai Senryaku VII: Exceed - a.k.a. Daisenryaku VII, well, what do you get when you combine the classic board games of Risk and Stratego, and learn from the aforementioned P.T.O. video game series and the legendary Command and Conquer video game series? The answer to that question is that you get this game. Yes, even though a pretty good version of this game already exists on the Xbox, the PS2 updated version actually has some new features that makes it the better choice to get, such as not just a regular Mission Mode that is based upon fictional battles, but that you can also unlock new units, as well as new maps, a Campaign Mode that is based upon real life World War II battles that actually took place in the Pacific Theater of Operations, hence the P.T.O. that is mentioned in the previous game, and said units and maps that were hidden behind codes on the Xbox predecessor of this game can be automatically unlocked in this port of the game upon the completion of certain tasks that are in the game. Finally, a Metacritic rating of 74% is pretty safe to say that this game is a hidden, as well as underrated, gem on the PS2.
      Enthusia Professional Racing - had Konami had a bit more funding, as well as drive, and effort, into this game, it honestly could have killed the Gran Turismo franchise...yes, this game was that good, and yet very few people know that it exists, which is a shame, as it is a damn solid, as well as stellar, example of a PS2 racing game.
      The Mark of Kri - this game is not just another mindless hack-and-slash/beat-em-up/brawler game, but it has a very good story and a lot of features that helped it to stand out from the pack. Unfortunately, it is all but forgotten in the modern era, and that is a shame.
      Urban Chaos: Riot Response - now if you like Rocksteady Studios and its Batman Arkham games, well, this game is not that, but that does not mean that this game is not a spectacular FPS in its own way.
      Beatdown: Fists of Vengeance - what do you get when you have the awesome beat-em-up/brawler mechanics of God Hand without its super silliness and throw it into the world of a typical Grand Theft Auto game? The answer is that you get Capcom and its attempt at an answer to the legendary Yakuza series from Sega. Basically, Beatdown: Fists of Vengeance is pretty much what Final Fight: Streetwise should have been in the first place.
      Shadow of Rome - while we are speaking about Capcom games, this one is a criminally underrated work of historical fiction that has a beautiful story that is told in video game form. Basically, the game revolves around the assassination of real life Roman Emperor Julius Caesar and the quest of one person to clear themselves from being falsely charged of the crime, yet it is so much more than that little bit of story alone. There was going to be a sequel to this game, but, unfortunately, the idea for a sequel to this game was scrapped and its game play mechanics were recycled into the much more well loved, as well as critically acclaimed, Dead Rising series, though this game is a masterpiece itself, despite the limitations of not enough development time.
      ICO - this game is one of the most underrated gems on the PS2, and for good reason. Granted, the game is not long, but it has a beautiful story, as well as plenty of replay value.
      Freedom Fighters - if you like the Mercenaries series, then you will absolutely love this game.
      Okami - this game is honestly one of the best homages to The Legend of Zelda ever, despite it very much being its own game.
      I will end my honorable mentions in another post.

Also we can never love on nightlife enough, love you Robert, never stop hyping that up. Excellent choices with God of War and Tony Hawk even though I personally believe number 2 is what revolutionized the series with an IMPECCABLE soundtrack.

    -Tony Hawk's Underground 1 & 2 (Just simply a huge fan of Bam Margera way back in the day)
    -Resident Evil 4 (boundless replay value on this one, especially mercenaries mode)
    -Tekken 5 (one of the best games for the couch competition)
    -Devil May Cry 3 (best game in the Devil May Cry series in my book)
    -Guilty Gear X2 Accent Core Plus (best fighting game on the PS2)
    -Ace Combat: The Belkan War (for when you just want that Top Gun feeling)

    Just picked up MLB 08 The Show at Goodwill today for 2.99. I love baseball but not a huge sports game guy. I figured I'd give it a shot for another Brewers fan 😎

    I still like to play Soul Calibur and the Tekken series, Medal of Honor series , and Need for Speed series . I agree the PlayStation 2 is the best console of all time. It has so many top notch games for every genre with no dumb updates or micro transactions !

    • @GamingOffTheGrid
      @GamingOffTheGrid  2 роки тому +2

      All great series! Yep that whole console generation was the last before updates and microtranscations arrived! Cheers!

    Just a few standouts from that generation for you boys that generally aren't talked about enough in the wider community: Crash Twinsanity, Soul Reaver 2, Onimusha 2 and 3, Second Sight, Shinobido - Way of the Ninja, Tenchu - Wrath of Heaven.

    Dragon Quest 8 is timeless as well AND since Persona 4 is coming to switch and xbox next year it shows that some ps2 games still got it! I mean, Persona 4 on STEAM sold 1 million copies- which proves that there IS some ps2 games people still wanna pay 40 dollar/euro for even digitally (crazy)

    I also play all the games in a baseball franchise (except minors). I just bought MLB the show 21 Jackie Robinson edition for $15 from best buy. It's a year old but comes with a New Era 9Fifty Snapback with MLB The Show on it so I picked it up for the hat. I saw the hat selling for $30 in some places so might as well pickup the game too.

    Just to piggyback on Wes’s comments about Red Faction, another underrated PS2 FPS that I’d rank higher than Halo… Timesplitters Future Perfect. I remember none of my friends would say they agree with me, but whenever we’d get together we’d play a helluva lot more Timesplitters than we would Halo. Just sayin’…

    • @GamingOffTheGrid

    • @GamingOffTheGrid

    In 2022, so far I'm playing NHL Hitz 02 (forever until I die 🤣), Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition Remix, GTA: Vice City Stories and Predator Concrete Jungle. Predator is such a banger especially if you like Predator movies. You play as The Predator and it's so fun!

    Downhill domination on ps2 is a game I still play alot and I agree with night fire it's in my personal collect as well. But I recently purchased the punisher for 30 so gonna play through it as well. But if I'm racing it's burnout 3 takedown or midnight club 3 . Such a fan that's why I got 2 consoles hooked up. One in game room and one next to my ps5

    I was always a Nintendo fan, and was used to playing NES and SNES. So it took some time to get interested in Sony consoles. The games are different because they are 3D, and use memory cards. Not what I was used to. But gradually I started to get interested in PS1 and PS2, and also wanted to play the later Sony systems as well. But even today I still have some trouble with 4 shoulder buttons. Along with 4 face buttons, that's 8 buttons you have to memorize.
