Games you think are underrated.

[Cubecubed]

what are some games that you like or liked that nobody else seems to?

mine:

Snowboard Kids(N64):the memories this game brings back are immense.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ghijmmu4UEQ

Shadowrun(360):I picked this one up for 12 bucks a month ago and man its actually pretty fun.

You're my new best friend.

Starfox 64 and Jet Force Gemini (both for the N64) xD

[BuRn7 CaK3]

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.

I really loved Classic Mode in that game... playing some of the original levels felt great.

[seinman]

I always thought that Dr. Mario never got the respect it deserved.

[Kreepman]

Pokemon Snap

[kiggidykev]

Sometimes I think I'm the only person on earth that had fun playing Tenchu Z on the 360.

My cousin liked it actually xD

[TheClashTheClashTheClash]

Battle Tanks for the N64. Not very many people I know have heard it but its freakin awesome and loads of fun (especially multiplayer)

[Kreepman]

Vigilante 8 for the N64/PS1

(I recomend it for the XBLA)

[Cpt. Overkill]

I had a lot of fun playing it, but it was a crappy game. It was still a blast though.

I never knew how to get Scyther out from the crops though :\

[Hungryfreak]

Snowboard Kids(N64):the memories this game brings back are immense.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ghijmmu4UEQ

That game definitely brings back memories. It was like Mario Kart meets snowboarding to me. I never owned it, but my cousins did and I would play it whenever I went to their house.

As for this thread? Any Tim Schafer game:

The Secret Of Monkey Island (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd5fH0TAgjI)

[killer_roach]

My list of underrated games:

PC - Anachronox, Arcanum, Archimedian Dynasty, Hamsterball, Rise of the Triad

PS1 - Rhapsody, Suikoden, Wild Arms

PS2 - Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, Stretch Panic

PS3 - Disgaea 3, Valkyria Chronicles

Not inclusive, and not going into the retro stuff (much)...

[Cubecubed]

I used to know how :(

you throw a pester ball lol

[Demenise]

Yoshi's Story. So underrated. I had SO MUCH BLOODY FUN WITH THAT GAME.

Also, a game I liked in the past, grew up, played it, and realized how bad it was: Tonic Trouble.

[jonnyisready2rock]

My sims kingdom for DS

[Lily_Mu]

Trauma Center games.

[Oscar-Rio]

Snakes 'N Ladders
X's & O's

[Zeleii]

Sometimes I think I'm the only person on earth that had fun playing Tenchu Z on the 360.
Speaking of which, Overkill needs to give me it!

[ArmsAreLoud]

Fire Emblem. It's a great game that few have heard of, and many of those who have are stupid enough to think it ripped off of Final Fantasy Tactics when in fact Fire Emblem predates every SRPG except for (I believe) Advanced Wars, which is by the same bloody company.

[JoshuaB81285]

My list of underrated games:

PC - Rise of the Triad

That game was the poop!!! Man, I miss old school FPS on PC. Heretic & Hexen were awesome too.

[Bearclaw]

I can say with absolute certainty that Halo 3 is the most overly underrated game because people think it makes them cool to call it bad.

[athenahollow]

Anything by Nippon Ichi

And I don't think it makes me cool to say it sucks, I just think it sucks :D Along w/ WoW

I don't think it sucks, but unfortunately i think its good for maybe one run through on each difficulty and that is it. I enjoyed the game...but honestly wish i would have rented rather then buy cause since i beat it that way it has just gathered dust. And the online community for that game is so immature that they make WoW players look grown up

[seinman]

I can say with absolute certainty that Halo 3 is the most overly underrated game because people think it makes them cool to call it bad.

This is why I always play games myself before making up my mind about them. So many of my friends (and people on random internet message boards) said that Halo 3 sucks. I played it, loved it, and bought it. I don't regret that purchase at all. The game has brought me hundreds of hours of entertainment. I can see how hardcore PC FPS gamers would dislike it, but that's no reason to say it's a bad game.

[AeroZeppelinSevenfold]

Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy VII, Chrono Trigger, etc. :D

But seriously, I think Steambot Chronicles on the PS2 and CustomRobo on the gamecube were underrated. Steambot was a great RPG, and CustomRobo had a great combat system that would be fun online.

[athenahollow]

Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy VII, Chrono Trigger, etc. :D

LOL how in god's name are those underrated? :D

[AeroZeppelinSevenfold]

I hope you caught the sarcasm. :D

[athenahollow]

I hope you caught the sarcasm. :D

But of course ;)

[Nuff_Said]

The Darkness

that game was amazing. Had very excellent writing.

[JuJuBee]

Conker's Bad Fur Day (N64)

It had the most awesome movie parodies ever.

[AKALink]

Bomberman Tournament for the GBA, it was an perfect Zelda Lttp rip with Bomberman aspects.

[FlameSama1]

PSI-OPS?: THE MINDGATE CONSPIRACY

WHY DID NO ONE BUY THIS GAME!

I mean, you're a fricking psi-agent, slamming people into walls and lighting them on fire WITH YOUR MIND! WHO DISLIKES THAT?

[NoMoreVillains]

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
One of the best games on the Gamecube. The writing and characters for that game is among the best I've seen. Also, the game likes to mess with you and the characters. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFYlu_ZBo5U

Goldeneye: Rouge Agent
It's decent, but I have fun with it anyway. The player takes the role of an ex-MI6 agent who is recruited by Auric Goldfinger to assassinate Dr. No. And you get to blow up Hoover Dam. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKkQE0bmre0

XGRA
A futuristic motorcycle racing game. Features 14 tracks ranging from the devastated amazon to an asteroid orbiting Saturn. It features two soundtracks: rock and dance. Another neat feature is that the bikes can break the sound barrier and the sound mutes when you do so. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g28gjX7HnB4

[Zeleii]

Fire Emblem Series (Big in Japan, not so much here)
Tales series (Same thing)


Edit : Dark Cloud and Dark Cloud 2 (OMG I loved those games :D)
Back when I first played it, I accidentally held Dark Cloud 2 up to I owed them 100$ or 60$ for the game (restocking fee or late fee)

[citric_bullets]

I just want to also express my love for Snowboard Kids. Rented the heck out of that game. So many good times.

[dady5000]

Battle Tanks for the N64. Not very many people I know have heard it but its freakin awesome and loads of fun (especially multiplayer)

oh hell yeah! It was the only game my father ever actually bothered to play multiplayer with me.

[rowtheboat]

Mirrors Edge

[Fausttt]

Planescape: Torment - an AMAZING black Isle RPG. Similar in feel to Baldur's Gate series but infinitely better IMO. You had to read and think a little, but it was epic. Oddly very few people i know have played this game, even friends of mine that loved the Baldur's Gate lineup. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planescape_Torment

Sanitarium - had amazing atmosphere and a very creepy feel. the storyline was decent as well. The only negative was the lead actor's voicework. it is kind of annoying. but once you get used to it, it is easily overlooked. The rest of the voice acting is good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitarium_(videogame)

[Oscar-Rio]

Day of the Tentacle
Jazz Jackrabbit

[Der_Lex]

To all the stuff that's already mentioned, I'd like to add Vagrant Story and Vandal Hearts, my two favorite PS1 RPGs.

[Bearclaw]

To those who mentioned Fire Emblem: Thank you. It is so hard to get people to believe that it is a good game until they actually play it. I had to convince one of my friends kicking and screaming to play it and he enjoys it now.

[mrfattbill]

One of my favorite all time games, which is also underrated is "Ico" for the PS2. Most people know nothing about it. Those that know it now didn't until "Shadow of the Colossus" came out.

[Gowienczyk]

Oddworld.

[mrfattbill]

Oddworld.

Indeed, that game was a blast to play, in fact all 3 "Oddysee" titles were great. I didn't care to much for "Stranger's Wrath" though :(

Truly innovative, too.

[bermuddy]

I just remembered another one. Freedom Fighters

[bermuddy]

:)

i rented it at blockbuster multiple times when i was a kid and DLed the rom years ago. to date it's the only rpg ive enjoyed.

[mrfattbill]

"Shining Force II" on the Genesis was a fantastic RPG :-)
