Looks kinda fun, but the physics look a bit wacky. How does it work exactly? You give the robot commands and you control the kid? Or can you actually control the robot too?executioner wrote:gonna bump this topic up with a game I just remembered yesterday: Robot Alchemic Drive or RAD. One of the first games I played on ps2, it had a funny cliche "giant robot defend you're country from alien invasion" story, weird voice acting with pauses that harmed the flow of the game but made it even more funny. It was made by Enix before joining Square.
What I loved was the concept of the game. Being able to control your giant robot trying to defend you're city while you are playing this kid that is on foot running around hiding through buildings, flying with your powers to a rooftop to get a better view so you can control it or just standing on your robot's shoulder to be closer to the action. Never seen another game that captured the feeling that you are controlling something that big. Not being able to get into the robot was what made this game so appealing and unique or frustrating for some. It might get boring after playing missions over and over with the same gameply but it was a blast playing with someone else and using the more complex control scheme.
Hope anyone here was also able to play it or can give it a look or a try now if you never heard of it before and you have an interest in mecha or giant robots.

yeah physics are wacky! you are in control of the kid then have to look at the robot press a button to gain command of it. while you are controlling the robot you can't move the kid, you can only control one at a time so if you're not being careful you're opponent could kill the kid and win. and if you are controlling the kid you're robot is just standing there defenseless, but the AI in the game normally doesn't go after the kids. the other thing is that some robots usually transform, there is one that goes into a vehicle type and another into an aircraft and in multiplayer you can also use the alien robots. by the way if you are hunting for the iso this came in a cd.

Edit - And also Legacy Of Kain : Defiance. Yeah i know it's not the rarest game but still IMO it's better than the Tomb Raider's and the Prince Of Persia 2 & 3 but not just good as the Prince Of Persia 1 and the God Of War I & II but nevertheless it's still a great game.

I love the compilation titles on PS2. For me, a 27 year old gamer, that is one of the PS2's strongest selling points. Here are the compilation titles I own:
General Compilations:
-Capcom Classics Collection Volume 1
-Capcom Classics Collection Volume 2
-Taito Legends Volume 1
-Taito Legends Volume 2
-Sega Genesis Collection
Series Specific Compilations:
-Street Fighter Alpha Collection
-Street Fighter Anniversary Collection
-MegaMan Anniversary Collection
-MegaMan X Collection
-Metal Slug Anthology
I just ordered two volumes of the Sega Ages Import PS2 titles, should have them within a week:
-Sega Ages Volume 25: Gunstar Heroes Treasure Box
-Sega Ages Volume 28: Tetris Collection
There are a literal treasure chest of import compliations from Sega and Hudson. As funding allows, I plan to pursue as many of them as I can.
They also have Sonic Mega and Gems Collections on PS2. I'd grab them, but I already have them on Gamecube. Anyway, this was a topic about hidden gems. I'd like to nominate semi-rare game as an honorable mention. A game I bought soon after launch as my first PS2 title. A Game Arts/Working Designs title called "Gungriffon Blaze". It was a mecha FPS, and had lots of unique mission objectives and customizable control schemes for any type of setup preference. My cousins were amazed with the game when I first got the console, and it is still a game I kept in my collection and never got rid of. For its time, it was a pretty amazing title, especially among the pit of third rate launch games that plagued the PS2 in its earliest days back in 2000. Everyone else I knew was playing sub par stuff like Dark Cloud and Red Faction, but I chose my first game carefully, and I was happy with my pick.
