Reccomend some 'crazy' last generation games!

[Cheesebob]

I suddenly have the urge to play 'retro' games. Specifically, 'retro' games from the last generation which aren't well known (call me a snob).

When I mean crazy, I mean games which were good but got over looked by just about everyone.

Crazy games I already have:

Shadow Of The Coloussus
Killer 7
Mister Moskeeto
Voodoo Vince
Psychonauts
Crazy Taxi
Timesplitters 2 & Future Perfect
Ico
Gregory Horror Show
Rez
Eternal Darkness

Chibi Robo, it's extremely silly but also extremely fun, and it's one of the most underrated games on the 'cube, which judging by some of the games in your library, I'm guessing you have.

 

[Thaliur]

Beyond Good & Evil was definitely a really good overlooked game.
It has cute cartoonish graphics and a really dark terrifying story.

 

[GiantRaven]

Timesplitters: Future Perfect

Such a hilariously great game.

 

[Snake Plissken]

IKARUGA. Go buy it, now. Also, I wouldn't call XBox, PS2, or GameCube games "retro". Prepare to hear a lot of that.

 

[EllEzDee]

Parappa the Rapper, though that's 2 generations old.

 

[adamson1000]

any jack and daxter, ratchet and clank, or sly cooper game. Resident evil 4 was good to.

 

[Red Rum]

"God Hand" for the PS2.

 

[AetherWolf]

Rez

FUCK YES.


Okami, Persona 3 and 4, Final Fantasy XII?

 

[BreakfastMan]

You should pick up Darkwatch and Second sight. Especially Second Sight. Both are very fun, and both were overlooked by nearly everyone.

 

[Cheesepower5]

Any PS2 game you see with "Shin Megami Tensei" on the box, Okami, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Beyond Good and Evil.

Uhhh... "The Warriors" for PS2 is good, according to my friend.

 

[Palademon]

Timesplitters: Future Perfect

Such a hilariously great game.

If my post counts for anything, it shall be voting for this. Far more accessable than it's prequels, funny, good controls, good multiplayer, and it knows how to take the piss.

For the PC!

Grim Fandango: Quirky story, great characters. Probably one of the best examples of the Point-and-Click Adventure games done right.

Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines: (wow Colon Cancer). A great RPG/FPS/TPS hybrid in a similar vein of Fallout 3 and NV. Unfortunately, like most Obsidian games its rather buggy and badly paced, but there are some real gameplay gems buried in there.

For the PS2!

Gun: Its not exactly obscure, but it got extremely overlooked. It plays like a GTA game, and incorporates all the best aspects and cliches of spaghetti westerns (like a silly Red Dead Redemption). Also, Red Dead Revolver.

Okami: Again, not really obscure (but then again, your list isn't especially obscure either). Its easily the best Zelda game I've ever played >___> along with having a fantastic art style and memorable characters.

Freedom Fighters: A fun little TPS that had some innovative squad control mechanics and large, high-action battles.

R.A.D (Robot Alchemic Drive): This is my go-to hipster game, for when you REALLY wanna out-obscure somebody. It doesn't hold up extremely well, but its very innovative, including being one of the only "true" second-person games.

For the GCN!

Chibi-Robo: Already mentioned

For the Xbox!

Otogi: A crazy third-person action game that looks and plays like a cross between Okami and Devil May Cry.

Crimson Skies: An interesting setting and story combined with great flight controls

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

God Hand.

Seriously.

Fucking God Hand.

 

[GraveyardTricks]

I remember Jak II got overlooked more than I thought it would, especially being one of the few games at the time to touch on GTA style free roam in a different environment.

Also, if anybody knows the name of it, there was a sort of inline skating game, set in the future, on the PS2 demo disk from back in the day? That was cool!

Rouge Galaxy

You'll never find a game like this anywhere else.
You are a young man who just moved to a new town. The game revolves around meeting all the various crazy inhabitants, learning about them, watching them and finding a way to bring them to be temporarily stunned so you can... kiss them.

You are doing this to practice for your true love from your dreams. Doing so earns you money and increases your health.
It's not particularly great, it's good, but it can be somewhat frustrating at times. You'll want to keep playing because you want to see what crazy stuff happens next, from meeting zombie boxers, guys with space rockets on their head that launch out of the ground every morning, a doctor who morphs into a blood stealing devil at night. It's hard to describe with words.

Hunter the Reckoning: Wayward. Fun if you bring a good friend along. Although it's hard as hell to beat without cheats.
