Your Most Obscure Sony Console Game

I have a bucketload of obscure PS1 / PS2 games from my days working at Wal-Mart, all from the bargain bin. It's hard not to buy cheap video games when they're dirt cheap and staring you in the face all day. Some are so obscure that I can't even remember what they are off the top of my head, but one does come to mind: a PS1 remake of Blaster Master. I tried it, like, once, and recall it being rather awful.
This is not that big of an unknown, but it is among my favorite PS2 games. It's called Stuntman: Ignition and you basically control a Hollywood stuntman during scenes. You have to go through something of an obstacle course while hitting all the spots like there are places where an explosion is scheduled to go off and you get points deducted if you miss that place. It's a great fun even though it lacks in the story department.
I've never heard about it, even though I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to weird PS2 games

One of my fave obscure PS2 titles is The Dog Island. It's a game for kids and people young at heart which is a mix of Zelda and Animal Crossing.
It's based on the The Dog Artist Collection franchise. It's really well made. Too bad that few people heard about it.

A game called croc. It's stupid as shit and I think it was meant to revitalize the console mascot market for Sony products. Clearly it didn't work, but you know, they did try.

Is this about a crocodile saving Gobbos? Because if yes, it had A LOT of fans on PC. I think that it was released on PC first and converted to PS2.
I played the first one and enjoyed it, though it was years ago and I was a kid

Yeah, that's the one. God that game was so god damn weird. I did enjoy it though, but looking back on it, I can only be left to wonder what was wrong with me at the time.

I remember being traumatised by the Boxer Ladybug boss, because I was REALLY little (like 5 or 6 years old) and I was terrible at video games, even though I made up my lack of skill with enthusiasm. It kept killing Croc, and it scared me!PingPongCall said:Elfprincess said:PingPongCall said:

Don't feel bad about playing this game - nothing wrong with an obscure platformer every once in a while
What matters is that you had fun back then.I think my most obscure PS2 game would be Stretch Panic. I know that the Game Grumps did a gameplay of it, but before that, very few people knew of it. You play as a young girl named Linda who is the weirder sister in a house with 12 other sisters. They're very vain and care too much about appearance, and Linda just doesn't get it. One day, however, Linda is about to lose her sisters when they succumb to their respective Demons of Vanity. A Demon of Vanity also possesses Linda's scarf, the one article of clothing Linda cares about, and acts as her weapon. The demon doesn't wish to harm Linda, it just wants its craving to stretch and deform things to be sated. That comes in handy on Linda's journey to save her 12 sisters.
They have become "exhibits" in this place called the Museum of Agony. Linda goes to their exhibits to face against their Demons of Vanity. Each of the sisters' Demon of Vanity represents her ideal representation of beauty. That can lead to some challenging fights later on, but I like the change ups in the styles of taking the girls on. Stretch Panic is an underrated game.

Another obscure PS2 game that I have is Mister Mosquito. It's a game where you fly around a Japanese family's house in the summertime and try to feed on them. If you bite the body part that has crosshairs around it and you drink the amount of blood required, you will clear the stage.
If you are seen by the humans or you stay in one place too long, they will swat you and you will die.
There's some quirky Japanese humor in the game and some slightly creepy Pedobear moments as you, a mosquito, fly around a Japanese tern girl's bedroom while she's sleeping and try to bite her bare legs. If you bite the humans' pressure points, it relieves their stress and they let out almost an orgasm sound. The game is so weird that I like it.
