Hey guys. Recently i've been thinking about what in your opinion are the most underrated games that you've played over the years. Now this doesn't mean that they are bad or good games, it just means that they deserved better praise (or better sales, in your opinion or universal).

A few of my examples -
American Conquest (PC)
Corvette (PS2)
Casino Empire (PC)
Tom Clancy's EndWar (PS3, XBOX360)

I can only think of a few in my collection:

F22-Interceptor (Megadrive)
Downforce (PS2)
Supercar Challenge (PS3)
 
Downforce was ****.

I guess that makes my point that it was under-appreciated in my opinion :D

I had a lot of fun with this game, but it's a typical like-it or hate-it kind of game. I remember some really intense races with the AI and the over the top crashes often put a bright smile on my face. Graphically it was pretty low-end, but for this game it didn't really bother me.

Sorry but EndWar was rubbish. Could have been so much better then it was.
 
inFAMOUS series (PS3), anyone?

Skyrim is broken on the PS3, so this ought to be the best outlet for fun open-world action games for PS3 owners. After playing both games (1 & 2), it really needs more attention by the public, IMO.

Really? Infamous is one of PS3s flagship titles. Even Sony bought Sucker Punch Studios back in August.
 
Championship Bass on PS1. Best fishing game ever made I think, needs a remake/sequel but EA aren't capable these days. Every other fishing game seems to have you standing in a fixed position, casting your rod at a .jpg but this is the real deal.

Worth getting today if you can accelerate the fps.
 
The saboteur gets my vote as well easily the best game i've played this generation, just so funny. Sean devlin you crazy irish *******.
 
The Saboteur. Loved every minute of it.
Agreed on that one.

Anyway, the only one I can think of off the top of my head is Blur. Blur unfortunately got poor sales (Due to Activision failing to advertise it. They hardly advertised it.). It got pretty good reviews, it just didn't sell all that well.
 
Underrated games you say? Let's see...

PS1: Galerians Ash, great thriller adventure horror game.


PS2: 1. War of the Monsters, awesome monster fighting game.

2. Zone of the Enders 2 by Kojima-BEST-GAME-EVER (except GT of course)
 
One of my all time favourites.

My record of a speed run through it is just above 2 hours. :dopey:

Also, there has never been, and never will be, a game I will re-play as often as this one, I guess like 7 times to this day? Maybe more...Also tackled it on the hardest mode with normal Jehuty and no extra weapons, so rewarding...

Oh and yeah, also the only game I will get in HD when it launches in (February?), CAN'T WAIT!
 
Street Cleaning Simulator!

... browse the game's forum, good stuff!

But seriously forks...

Just Cause 2
10 times the fun of GTA4.

Edit: HOLY CRAP... they must have cleaned house on the SCS forum! There used to be a ton of golden threads on there! :grumpy:

I laughed so hard when I saw this on art of trolling :lol:
Everyone gave it a 10 or a 9 but the score is still 1.5
Update: I just read the whole review, and they make it sound so much worse than it is :D

Well anyway i say
Prototype (PS3, Xbox 360)
This game is so much fun

Bully (also known as Canis Canem Edit), loved that game, it's still one of Rockstar's finest games in my opinion.

I'm still waiting for a sequel. :indiff:
 
SHOX. Simply a great arcade styled game. One of my all-time favorites. Came out back in 2002 on the PS2.

Still playing it to this day. :) I should get the second one some time. 💡
