Core childhood memory. I remember getting this game for Christmas 2004 and playing it religiously until the sequel came out a year later.
Am grill but:
Gameplay looks dope, might look for a ROM of this!
This is Freedom Fighters for me.
that game was so sick, taught me what a molotov cocktail was and what it was for
The Jesper Kyd Soundtrack… Chefs kiss.
Picked it back up on steam for a few bucks. Honestly still pretty fun
I played Evergrace at my cousin’s house. I have such fond and vivid memories from that game. But when I went back to play it as an adult, I realized that it’s kind of terrible.
Dark Cloud 🤘🤘🤘
I started playing music around the time my friends moved on to PS2 from PS1 and I didn’t have any bandwidth for anything else for years. Everyone my age has these memories and I have never played more than a couple of hours of PS2 in my life. I’m like Tony Hawk, AMIRITE?
I wasn’t allowed any video game consoles growing up, but I’ve gotten into emulation in recent years. Ps2 games have been my absolute favorite (they also emulate really well) and would recommend to anyone. Definitely got to play a lot of tony hawk pro skater 2 on the pc as well!!
Getting really really good at manuals so you can hear a full song on Tony Hawk
Battlefront II LAN parties…
I was cursed with an xbox as a child and have Nightcaster: Defeat the Darkness as mine. I dont think it was even particularly good but it remains a monolith of cobwebs
God of War
Hey don’t make this about PS2. I still get a bit emotional thinking about:
- [Swarm Assault ](https://dzierzan.itch.io/opensa
- Red Ace Squadron
- GTA Vice City (not exactly niche, but it was the first violent game I played)
Thanks for this post, because otherwise I would never have found out that someone recreated Red Ace Squadron in Unreal Engine
It’s a PS1 game, but still. I loved this game. If I wasn’t playing Twisted Metal 2 then I was playing this.
Onimusha for me, or maybe dark cloud if that counts.
Hunter the reckoning
Xbox for me, Phantom Crash. That game is solid gold, baby! SOLID GOLD!
I was looking at random speedruns recently and I came across Shinobi, and holy shit. A rush of memories came flooding into me like a download from the Matrix. My pupils dilated, and suddenly it was 2002 all over again.
