Stretch Panic. Or that platformer by Treasure that wasn't Wario World.

Alien Hominid, which at this point should be so cheap I would recommend it to anyone who likes 2D shooters.

Can I still say Psychonauts? I shouldn't have to, because anyone who read the forums should have heard the hype.

Ico was pretty underplayed. Amazing if you're patient and willing to just stop and look at the amazing scenery and design.

I opened this thread to mention that game. I had no idea that some one would beat me to it :) That game was so weird but very fun. There are a couple shooters that were awesome but nobody heard and/or played them. Those are Sky Gunner, Silpheed: The lost planet, and R-Type Final

Heavenly Guardian came out just a bit ago, Red Star. and Grim Grimoire are the few that I can think of that don't really have much of a cult following either. Grim Grimoire maybe a bit but the others I never really see anyone talk about.

There are other games like AR Tonelico, Odin Sphere, YS, and various others that weren't ever huge when they came out but there are enough people around that know and talk about them.

Red Star ive been wanting to play that is it any good?

Rune: Viking WarlordWarr_Knight

Rune kicks ass! That was my first PS2 game and I just loved it. It got ripped apart in the review category but at that time I didn't even read the reviews, so it wouldn't have mattered anyway. The combat was so much fun and I just loved beheading and dismembering countless enemies. Sure, the loading times sucked and some of the levels were just awful, but all in all it was a great game. I still play it to this day....on my PS3!

I have that game. I played it for about 2-3 hours and then I just could not get back into it. I might give it a shot again some day.

I want Sky Gunner so bad. I remember renting this and thinking to myself "Self, this game is exactly like Star Fox, I wish i had a Gamecube to play it on" Then when I got my Wii and rented Star Fox:Assault i thought to myself "Self, remember that game by Atlus that was infintely better? I want that one and not this garbage" Too bad every time i look, I only find Sky Odessey. Oh well..looks like it's 1:1 right now

I love it, its sort of like mixing arcade versions of a beat em up game with contra, its pretty different from most games today.

I might get it if its cheap.

Rule of Rose.

Give it a try. Seriously

I know, all the flaws that IGN, Gamespot and whatever site mentioned are true.

But what the hell! RoR have its own merits as well.

The atmosphere is everything.

If you're a writer or you like to draw often Rule Of Rose is there for you, because it's really good for inspiration. Great stuff

That game really makes me feel some kind of old school games aura, when the games demanded imagination for your part.

Like I said, it's quite the experience if you let the Rule's proposal get you.

Don't forget this game :D

I think it's arguably one of the best action platformers for the PS2. I hope that Capcom revives the series for this gen systems.

Okami did horrible saleswise for some reason, but it's an amazing game and I think it's definetly in the top 10 best PS2 games of all time.

Dark Cloud series - another fantastic series that should have been more popular

Not sure if it's unheard of or nobody has bought it--but I do know it's rather rare: Gungrave: Overdose. Pretty good game in my opinion. In fact--I don't think it's being manufactured anymore, but I could be wrong.

Ico and Beyond Good + Evil may be well known but they didn't actually make too much money in sales. Both are great games and everyone needs to play them.
