underrated games

It's Nipon.

Anyway, I don't know if this has been mentioned, but I think Valkyrie Profile could have used just a bit more credit.

The most underrated adventure game ever would have to be Legend of Oasis for the Saturn. The game kills Zelda Link to the Past.

I think Actraiser for SNES was underrated

As a whole I guess you could say so. But to me I think it is overrated. My friends have been gamers for ages and they think it is great, while I think it is not so great. Oh well. *shrugs*

Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone, it was pretty fun and had nice art and story. Just over-shadowed by the better Two Towers.

Crimson Skies, i remeber when I was walking around the game store today and it wasn't on the platuim hits. I'm thinking "why the fuck not? Free-roaming flying is sweet". It also had music that had the old World War feel and giant zeplins, your airship base even moved!

Good mentions, another underrated "new" game is Outrun 2. Arcade style racing is sweet.

i think AVP2 is underrated because it was so much scarier than doom3

Has anyone mentioned EarthBound yet? EarthBound for the win.

My friend loves EarthBound, but it is not my cup of tea. Another underrated RPG would have to be......... ummmm... not to many RPGs are underrated because a majority of them are overrated. RPGs for the Saturn like Albert Odyssey and Shining the Holy Ark are the only RPGs that I can think of being underrated.

It's Nippon, alternately Nihon. [/nitpick]

You know what is pretty underrated and just came out. Ys The Ark of Napishtim. Old school gaming with that one.

Hmm... Lemme think... Underrated game. Valkyrie Profile. One of the best RPGs on God's green Earth.

I disagree, Valkyrie Profile is overrated. That game is going for a lot of money on eBay, no way it is underrated. Hell, almost every RPG on the PSone is overrated. VP is a good game, but there is no way I would put it above FFVI, Chrono Trigger or Vagrant Story.

!!!

Despite everyone saying this game is shit, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought it was a pleasant experience playing this game.

Honestly, those who say EarthBound is shit deserve to die.
EarthBound is the shit. It's a very special game- very fucked up in a sort of kid-friendly way. I can't wait for EarthBound 2, which is supposedly in development for the GBA.

Seriously, in what other game can you have a cup of coffee with a being whose body mass is 60% nose? Or have your MP restored by butterflies?

Moonside, enough said.

what is earthbound? sounds interesting

Earthbound or Mother 2 is an RPG set in modern times where you play a normal kid that has a comet fall into his back yard. It is a very interesting game, I never got the chance to play it all the way through and unfortunately don't own it. I think it is a great game, I just think that it is not as good as some people make it out to be.

Omega Boost is one of the most underrated rail mecha games ever.

Post by **Devil_Dante** » Tue Jun 07, 2005 2:35 am

I think Soldier of Fortune 2 double helix is underrated. Everybody whines about CS, but sof2 craps on CS.

I also nominate Rumble Fish and Rumble Fish 2 as underrated games.

im with yah, just wait till Femto gets here and starts bashing it. Man i need a freakin US release though.

Omega Boost takes the cake for mech games, but its TOO DAMN SHORT!!! argh i wanted more of Omega Boost...

Post by **DarkenRahlX** » Tue Jun 07, 2005 6:10 am

The first Bloody Roar game.

Post by **Ayanami** » Tue Jun 07, 2005 6:43 am

I am sorry Darken, but these games you be posting are just not good enough to be considered underrated. Bloody Roar sucks, all of them. And Rumble Fish, (Even though I wish to own it very much so) is overrated. But then again it is just my opinion.

Oh, do you consider Omega Boost a Rail Shooter or Mech game??

I lean towards Rail Shooter, and there are far better Rail Shooters out there.

Post by **DarkenRahlX** » Tue Jun 07, 2005 6:47 am

One game I think is overrated is Ikaruga... played it and it sucked. One of the worst shooters I've ever played. One shooter that was awesome that no one really talked about so much (well no one talks about shooters much these days anyways) is Einhander.... Best damn shooter ever.
