Underappreciated PS2 gems

[ Edited ]

What PS2 games do you think should receive more praise but strangely don't often get a mention?

I definitely second Badlur's Gate Dark Alliance. I'll check out the other ones. Okami, however, is always praised xD

Lol, yeah. Some more:
Deus Ex The Conspiracy (Really old, but extremely worth it. Cyberpunk.)
Bard's Tale (Badur's Gate Dark Alliance Engine. Kind of a comedy.)
Ghosthunter (Most underrated game ever. Exclusive. THE BEST GRAPHICS ON THE PS2.)
Primal (Very enjoyable adventure game. Exclusive.) 
Project Snowblind (Spiritual sequel to the Deus Ex.)
Rogue Trooper (One of the best TPS games on PS2, latter levels haunt me as flashbacks while playing Killzone 2.)
The Punisher (Some of the most violent stuff on the PS2.)
Red Faction 1 (Great game, GEO-MOD engine, almost everything is destructable.)
Red Faction 2 (Sequel is even better. Local multiplayer god.) 
Zone Of The Enders (A game by Hideo Kojima. Exclusive.)
Zone Of The Enders 2nd Runner (Awesome sequel. Exclusive.) 
Shadow Hearts 1 (This JRPG has 2D backgrounds and 3D characters, from the early days of the PS2. Exclusive.)
Shadow Hearts 2 Covenant (Maybe the best JRPG on PS2. Exclusive.)
Shadow Hearts 3 From The New World (Not as good as Shadow Hearts 2. Exclusive.) 
The Thing (Sequel to the excelent 1982 movie, by the same name.)
Kuon (Great Japanese horror game.)
Project Zero 1 (Also known as Fatal Frame in the United States.)
Project Zero 2 Crimson Butterfly (Awsome sequel, better graphics.)
Project Zero 3 The Tormented (Climax of the series. Exclusive.)
Scarface The World Is Yours (Beats evey GTA game, even GTA 4.)
Tourist Trophy (Made by Polyphony Digital, it is one of the only two games that support 1080i on the PS2.)
Freedom Figters (From the developers of Hitman. Awesome squad based shooter.)
007 James Bond Everything of Nothing (The only James Bond game worth playing.)
Urban Chaos Riot Response (One of the greatest FPS games on the PS2.)
Red Dead Revolver (Made by Rockstar Games. Set in wild west.)
Gun (Wild west, again. This time by Neversoft. Better than Red Dead Revolver.)
Forbidden Siren 1 (Always in the shadow of bigger games. Made by Team Silent, the makers of Silent Hill.)
Forbidden Siren 2 (Sequel, slightly worse than the first game.)
Hope you like them, Cheers. :smileyhappy:

No problem, lol. You're welcome. There are more of these games, but sadly only released in Japan. :smileysad: Mainly JRPGs and Mecha Simulators. Kudos! us, OP. :smileywink: :smileyvery-happy:
