Reccomend some 'crazy' last generation games!

[Cheesebob]

Chulip

My mind is blown. I may have to track down this game.

Thanks for the brilliant advice guys, although some of these games are questionable on how overlooked they are: Timesplitters? Jak and Daxter?!? Rachet And Clank? Final Fantasy?!?

So far the ones I am looking out for (i.e buying off amazon/cex) are War of Monsters, Chulip, God Hand, Darkwatch and Chibi Robo (although that game seems hideously expensive)

Game I just thought of: Black, I regard this as overlooked as it came right at the death of the Xbox. It looks insane

Any others? oh and anyone reccomend any other online game shops which may stock these weird and wonderful games?

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
Ico
Gregory Horror Show
Rez
Eternal Darkness

Go get "I Wanna Be The Guy"
it's free

on a note I would say "No More Heroes" but that's wii not gamecube

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Obligatory post about Psychonauts. It was probably already mentioned though.

Also, Psi Ops was fucking amazing.

 

[KuwaSanjuro]

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES or Persona 4, they're RPGs and can only be described as bat shit mental. They're really good but possibly a little too niche.

I suppose the only thing I would regard as "crazy" would be Stubbs the Zombie. It seemed pretty fun, but I was young, so maybe it's actually rubbish...

Does it get crazier than Crazy Taxi? I'll never stop loving that game. And another not very overlooked but crazy game is Devil May Cry, the whole series is just amazing, and pretty darn crazy.
Hogs of War I thought was really overlooked, but it's 5th gen I think, but PSone's were awesome.

Fuck IWBTG. Fuck that game to hell.

I should say at this point that I dislike JRPGS. So...yeah.

I forgot about Crazy Taxi. Goddamn that game is crazy.

 

[Sagiterios]

for pc, get space rangers 2 and black and white. two of my favorite games of all time.

for ps2 i add another endorsement for time splitters future perfect

Dude! We Love Katamari!!!

[/thread] since it's the 'craziest' last gen game you could imagine.

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!

I also would recommend Jack 2 even though some of the timed missions are a little ridiculous. Also, Jack 3 just because of the one part where you find out what precursors are.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance would be another big one. I don't know if you own it or not but it's worth going through at least once.

Bully. Ignore the complaints. It was hilarious. One of my favorites.

Shadowman. That's psone though. In fact, why not try games from before last generation?

Ill Bleed is one of the most fun yet bizarre games I've ever played (dreamcast). Imagine a competition/theme park that mimicks horror movies. Except these attractions can actually kill you. The game also goes from horror to humor constantly. Also, it plays like nothing else I've touched.

Claw is a platform game on the computer I played when I was really young. Think saturday morning cartoons about beast pirates. It was great because the cutscenes were like a show and even if the graphics were cartoony it was still kinda dark.


As for the question above are you sure that wasn't on the dreamcast? It sounds like something I played on the dreamcast.

1. Postal 2
2. Grim Fandango (but I'm not sure it works on modern Windows versions)

 

[MetaKnight19]

The only really 'crazy' game I can think of is Doshin the Giant for the GameCube. Strangest. God Sim. Ever

It was also released on the Nintendo 64DD in Japan, and there was an expansion for the 64DD version called 'Doshin the Giant: Rescue from the Front by the Toddlers that Tinkle at the Large Meeting-Hall'.

[sub]Seriously, whats up with that title?[/sub]

 

[Insideout Ink Demon]

second sight was damn fun

Oh yes, that was a great game.

I know this is one generation too old, but LSD: Dream Simulator. It was a Japanese PS1 game that is just way too hard to explain. Maybe these links can?

There's also a bunch of hilarious Lets Plays on Youtube.

Two FPSes that are *more* overlooked than Black, but also way better:
Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter(Well, for some definitions of good. The graphics are much worse.)
Operation Snowblind(For any and all definitions of good.)
