Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons Of Liberty
I know, I know, the bad reception is mainly from players due to the character change, however that has still stained the games reputation.....
I believe that this game is literally a work art.....so much consideration went into the psychology of it all...so much effort went into trying to TALK to the player, and giving a message to them through the game.....(something that is only NOW being regarded and used so that we can shorten the gap between games and art)
but as you know people can't concentrate for 5 seconds without having boobies flashed at them or without seeing their big macho hero on the T.V screen......
Very under-rated and a game much before its time...if u have it, play it again and read between the lines (find the symbolism). If u dont, BUY IT!
LOL sorry bout the rant

ahem...moving on......probably another game I enjoyed was
Final Fantasy VII : dirge of cerebrus
Sure, it doesn't even come close to the original VII, but I actually enjoyed the gameplay (once I got use to the fact that there were no random encounters or turn based battle lol)and as a fan of the franchise, seeing and hearing from old favourites (characters) was a treat
One more would be
Devil May Cry 2
Bought it, Played it, and yes it does not compare to 1, 3 or even now 4. However it was still loads of fun......It certainly wasn't as dissapointing as many fans made it out to be....Sure Dante's not as much fun, but that kinda set the mood for me....Everything felt more serious and more like "this is the end"....I think thats what the designers were aiming for aswell.
So even though it wasn't like the other 3 games (soon to be 4 *cough* ninja theory)....the more darker and serious tone did make it stand out from its predecessor's
And for some reason I enjoy
Cabela Big Game Hunter games
....dunno why? ....LOL more strangely its ironic, cause I'm actually completely againest hunting and the fur trade XD
eh, well a games a game....LOL I wouldn't gun down hoardes of men in real life....or be stomping alien guts...its all reserved for the game..
JAWS : Unleashed....simple immature savage FUN
Prototype : Loved the game...loved the story...I just wish they hadn't given up on the plot LOL
