Neither are obscure, but I played the shit out of Ace Combat Shattered Skies and Simpsons Hit and Run...

Dude simpsons hit and run is a banger. I use to get that game from the video club store and play it for hours. Tbh all kid's movies and tv series on games were bangers, Kung fu panda, toy story, rattatouille etc
Playing as Mobius One felt incredible when enemy comma started referring to you as the Grim Reaper and whatnot.
What a game.

The Legend of Dragoon. We need a reissue of it 🥲
Bro I had that for ps1. I had no idea how to play it but would waste hours on it just killing stuff
I'll just leave this here

Mister Mosquito
Wow someone else that played this gem lol
What is the gameplay like, the screenshots make it look like a mosquito simulator 😄
That's exactly what it is!
You're a mosquito that gets into a house and you have to suck as much blood as you can from the family as you can without getting squished.
You fly around, waiting for the right moment to land and start sucking blood, being careful not to be seen. Each level has a certain amount of blood to collect before you can move on, and the family gets increasingly more vigilant about killing you as they talk to each other about getting bit.
oh god. when i was a kid i bought one of those game magazine when ps2 launches. the first ps2 game they covered was mister mosquito and i remember thinking. wow, ps2 is so cool
gender-affirming lack of obscure ps2 game
coming back to this post later to find recommendations though...
There's plenty of girls that bonded with an obscure ps2 game in their youth. Xenosaga was the shit.
Enteral Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem (GameCube)
I'm too old for it to be PS2, but "Mick and Mack: Global Gladiators". Spent at lot of time on that for a game that is an ad for McDonalds.
that's how i feel about yo noid

N64, but I was obsessed with the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics game. Picked it up recently. It is definitely shovelware.

"shovelware" movie/cartoon franchise tie-in games, my beloved
Asterix & Obelix: XXL 2, Ice Age 2 (the game), G-Force (the game)...
"Slop" used to be peak.

That captain crunch game for the PC.
Core childhood memory. I remember getting this game for Christmas 2004 and playing it religiously until the sequel came out a year later.
My.memory is a little fuzzy and I'm sure it's nowhere near as good as I remember but was there a game called Ape escape? Something about catching monkeys and they had like flashing helmets or something and you would run around with a net catching them?
A very basic sounding premise but in my memory it was a really good game.
Ape escape was one of the first games to require dual stick controls! One controlled the character and the other his catching net!
Actually it was the GC game Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. It was a game about unraveling the mysteries of the murder of your uncle that devolves into fighting the old gods.
I love it and come back to it every so often, I even still have a GameCube squirreled away for it, but I'd rather play it on my Deck more often than not.

3xtreme
You race other bikers/rollerbladers/skateboarders/aliens and can punch them mid race.
That game (and its predecessor 2xtreme) were not nearly as fun as the premise sounds on paper, but I loved every second of them.
I don’t even want to guess how much my parents spent on rental fees for those two titles alone. It had to have been cheaper to just buy them.
Legaia 2 and Dark Cloud 2...
This is Freedom Fighters for me.
that game was so sick, taught me what a molotov cocktail was and what it was for

Um Jammer Lammy.
While I liked the Parappa games, I'll die on the hill that Lammy was better than either of them and should have continued as a series.
Goddamn. Nostalgia fest scrolling through the comments.
Here are my additions (I was primarily a PC Gamer as my folks didn't believe in consoles):
Cyberspeed
One Must Fall: 2097
EGA Trek
I played a LOT of Project Eden on PS2. It was such a quirky (and buggy) game but I still have a lot of great memories playing it.

Dark Cloud 🤘🤘🤘
Ratchet and Clank. I dunno. It just clicked for me.
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.
Is Project Snowblind obscure? Because I could do Jet Li's Rise to Honor instead.

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
Second Sight on PS2 came to mind after reading this. I don't think I have ever seen anyone talk about it.

For me it was Kya: Dark Lineage. I think it wasnt a major hit when it came out but I use to love it and I thought no game came close
Or a middle aged dude and the Commodore/Amiga games he played as a kid 😁
Rock Star Ate My Hamster will always be precious to me ❤️
