Games you think are/were underrated

[Malcolm]

So I'm sitting down playing TMNT Smash Up online, and I think to myself "This game is pretty fun". People trash on the game because of the roster(admittedly, myself included initially) and the fact that it plays similarly to Super Smash Bros. Brawl but I think it stands out on it's own as a good Wii fighter.

I also feel the same way about The Conduit. It's fun to play online, but people trash the game because it didn't get perfect scores or because of the hype.

It's probably because I didn't buy these games at full price.

Anyoen else feel this way about a certain game?

Really? I generally see them regarded as classics, and I feel like I'm in an overwhelming minority in the fact that I don't like them. Interesting.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure whether the N64 games are underrated or not. Maybe it was just the 360 game (Nuts and Bolts) they put out that I'd consider underrated.

EDIT: You see, I was a PlayStation man during that time, so I was not aware of an anti-Rare sentiment among Mario fans.

I think it might be because Mario 64 fanboys started slamming the games(and every other Rare game) when Rare jumped ship.

Insanely agreed. X-2 was a whole lot of fun and I actually really enjoyed the story too. I liked everything about the game, but MY GOD is it ever hated.

[Jackson "The Cool" Carter]

Blood. How a fun, over the top, gory FPS is done!

[J is Thunder Justice]

Sonic Heroes, too.

[shiranui]

I don't care what anyone says, this game is awesome.

Yep, by a lot of fans and me too.

I'm going to say the Halo series (by fans, not review sites) gets a lot of stick simply because it is well liked by, shall we say, less RPG type gamers. It's a fun series, 1-3 and people seem to over think the mechanics or story of it but in reality it's just fun to a lot of people.
