Race Driver: Grid - The best car racing game I have played in years.
The Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series of games: Very solid FPS games set in the Star Wars universe. With the exception of the first game they are set post Return of the Jedi and thats pretty cool.

Somebody said Perfect Dark earlier in the thread. I don't think that game was underrated. I think A LOT of people loved that game and regard it as being better than Goldeneye.
I think a lot of people look past the Saints Row games as just being GTA clones. But they have a charm about them that I love.

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
I've heard nothing but bad things about this. I played it at a friend's house a couple weeks ago and ended up loving it.

![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_je_xfZ5IKnE/SMBtYOP2u6I/AAAAAAAABF8/oztJpZJJiJQ/s400/gun.jpg) GUN was, though VERY short, still very fun to play, and I give it props for honestly depicting the attitudes and environments of it's time period. Too often the harsh reality of the West gets glossed over and PC terms and manner of speech find their way into an era before they even existed. GUN at least had the balls to depict the racism and violence of the time in blunt terms, instead of pussyfooting around it, like other games had. I wish it would have been more fully fleshed out, but I had a blast playing as the main character and riding around shooting bandits from the back of my horse. ;D

Red Dead Revolver
I rented it on a whim and blazed through it in three days. After I beat the game, I went online to see what others thought about it to find that it got almost universally middling-to-negative reviews. I thought it was a masterpiece, personally, and I cannot WAIT for Red Dead Redemption. I marked like a small child when I heard it was getting a sequel in the first place.
EDIT: Just saw the post above mine. Didn't they come out pretty close together? Either way, ironyyyyyyy.

Damn, am I glad to see some appreciation for the first couple of 3D Sonics. Particularly Sonic Heroes, which I think is woefully underrated. Granted, I've only played the Gamecube version...but that's the version anyone should play, really. I'm starting to think that everyone who hates the game probably played the PS2 version. I mean, the PS2 was the most popular the console at the time so it does kind of make sense in a way. But I digress. I suppose you could add Super Mario Sunshine to the list. I have a love hate relationship with the game, but I've been appreciative of it recently. The PS2 one is what I rented at first and I hated it so much. There were springs that would leave you short of the landing spot and killed you. You had to switch to your flying character almost EVERY time you hit a spring so you were ready to fly upwards if it did that. There were rockets that would do the same thing. I remember hitting a rocket on the Final Fortress or whatever it's called, and it shot me up about 2 feet above a rail and to the right, so I ended up falling to my death. Again, unless you're in fly mode everytime you have to leave the ground you're asking to get glitchkilled. Then I tried out the Gamecube version because there was nothing else to rent, and it was almost like playing a bug-fixed version of it. I mean, next to nothing went wrong at all. My only real complaints are the repetitive voice samples and that some of the game was insanely combat-heavy, when the combat system was just...okay. And one last thing...I wish you could have just skipped the Team Amy story if you beat one of the other's first. Having to play through the "easy mode" after beating it normally (and even the "hard mode/team shadow") was lame. Though I will say the boss battles are awesome and that is one HELL of a final level (and I mean the Final Fortress, not the REAL final boss), both in difficulty and in epicness.

I did not list this because everyone who plays it seems to love it (or at least rates it fairly), its just that no one played it so people don;t have the chance to not appreciate it!

I did enjoy blowing Hoodoo Brown's head off when he was propped up in his coffin though.

Agreed, the length and lack of replay value pretty much means you will only really want to play through it once. Shame though, it is a fun ride.

Legend of Zelda: Oracle of ages/seasons, largely forgotten and are often left out of discussions by Zelda fans, even Link's awakening an Minish cap are ignored by some.
Actually there's loads of portable games that are overlooked, Donkey Kong 94 in particular. The warioware games are also sometimes written off as mini-game collections.
I agree with 007: Nightfire too.

Disagree, I've never heard anything bad said about it. It's just that people didn't buy it. Which sucks because it is probably one of the funniest games I have ever played.

It came out around the same time as Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness IIRC and it kinda got lost in the shuffle. But everyone who has played it seemed to like it.

Seeing GUN and Red Dead Revolver on here made me think of another underrated game that is a western. Probs. my favorite western type game EVER. ![](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51SD9aC5oiL._SS500_.jpg) Probably the only reason why the Sega CD was ever cool to me.

The Banjo-Kazooie series on N64/Xbox 360. 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. Once again, eye-to-eye. I never liked the games on the 64, then downloaded the first one off Live, and felt ripped off. It doesn't come close to the magic of Conker (then again, neither did the Xbox remake).

*DK: The King of Swing (I loved that they used sound bites from the original Donkey Kong Country and the difficulty was pretty good. I had a lot of fun with this game even though the L & R buttons being used only would take off people) *Donkey Kong 1994 (A great puzzle game with some nice 8-bit music to boot... and some humorous ways to kill Mario. The plot made no sense whatsoever, but it had a lot of stuff in this that made you think, and it also the predicessor of the "Mario vs. Donkey Kong" series that uses the same mechanisms) *Metroid Fusion (I do think that this game is popular, but I think it's an underrated title since I don't see a lot of discussion about it. I'm amazed that the guys who made the Ninja Gaiden series will use this as a reference in the timeline for "Other M")

I really liked EcoQuest: The Search for Cetus. I think it should've won an award.
