Most Underrated Game of All Time?

[Rock Avich]

Geo-Political Simulator.

Seriously, if you like games like Civilization I-IV, or any other game like that, get this.

It is the most in-depth game on being a leader of a country. Ever.

EVER.

Grim Fandango, One of the best avdenture games ever with a great story full of memorable charecters.

Grim Fandango was never underrated. But it's still fucking awesome and one of the best adventure games of all time.

Cuthulu dark corners of the earth, one of the only games that actually scared me. Okay the graphics these days are a tad outdated but the use of limb specific damage, vertigo and sanity I thought was ground breaking!

Those are also used in the Penumbra games. Great games btw, you should try them.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Beyond Good and Evil. I mean, no of my friends have even heard about it unless I've told them about it. It's such a fun game and not many people have heard of it.

hmm i dont know any games that i would say are great but underated. i know games that didnt sell well and are great such as shadow of the collusus. Anyone care to recomend a good game for me?

Sly Cooper and the Thevius Raccoonus
Legacy of Kain series
Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis

Those are a few that spring to mind. I picked up Sly Cooper at a rental store and found it really fun. The LoK series had always been a favourite but I haven't met many people who have played any of them and Jurassic Park, while not terribly well received, is still a good game for those that like causing mayhem.

The Sims 3! It's just out and the graphics are PHENOMINAL!!!!

Impossible creatures. Aparently no one has ever heard of it before.

Nox, if anyone remembers, it was an old game by westwood studios, very similar to Diablo. If you didn't like the single player "campaign", you could always try the multiplayer.

The Sims 3! It's just out and the graphics are PHENOMINAL!!!!

What? It's not out!

Impossible creatures. Aparently no one has ever heard of it before.

Haha... awesome game. That brings back memories.

Earthbound

Nuff said

Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing

 

[Locker420]

Mafia (PC)
ReVolt (Dreamcast)
Dune II (PC)
Beyond Good and Evil (PC)

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

Original War.

I dare someone to tell me that they have even heard of it, let alone think it's underrated.

One of my favourite games of all time.

Inb4 Okami/Shadow of Collusus/Psychonauts.

I guess you already beat me with the Psychonauts one though. Seriously though, Search button man. I usually defend people who make repeat topics but this one is done to death >_<

Oh by the way...Bubsy gets my vote, not the abomination that is the PS1 game, but the SNES days.

Psychonauts for sure but okami is one of them too. It's the Zelda with a new plot line and main character that we always really wanted in te back of our minds.

The most underrated game ever couldn't be vouched for too often in this thread, since then it wouldn't be so underrated...

And it is King's Bounty for DOS, no argument.

I think that some underrated games are:

Zelda: Wind Waker
Sonic Heroes
Jak and Daxter
Sonic Unleashed
Super Mario Sunshine
Conker's Bad Fur Day
