Underrated games in history?

[brokensaint82]

What would be the most underrated game in history according to you? for me it would have to be Deja Vu for the NES. It had a good storyline the interface was rough for the nes controller but if you get a ROM and use the mouse it works perfect and the dialouge is just funn in that 40 detctive camp way

It was only halfway down the first page. Please be more observant.

This does count as harassment. Please report me.

Kingdom Hearts. People immediately see Disney stuff, and treat it like a SARS outbreak. This is one of the most fun games in the universe, with gameplay reminiscent of Secret of Mana, but with a ton of additions. Some nice side-quests and uber-bosses are in there too. Everyone must play it.

Harvest Moon. Farming sims. Seem boring, but they're highly addictive. There's so much to do, that you can play through over and over (if you have the patience) and advance the game however you want. Grow whatever crops, get whatever animals, whatever additions to your house, even whatever wife you may want. It's incredibly fun. Save the Homeland stands as the odd-one-out, simplifying the gameplay and giving you a shorter time frame. But it's still fun.

SOCOM. The headset alone makes this game incredibly fun. Talking to your fellow soldiers and receiving messages on your mission is really good. A very strong use of stealth, and varied landscapes and missions make this game worth at least renting (but you won't get a headset that way). Online has gone to shit, with so many people finding ways to use game-alterring devices. But if you can still find some honest players, online play is just as much, if not more, fun.

WWE Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth. I was never interested in wrestling until I checked out the shows after playing Smackdown 2. Now, I hate WWE TV because it sucks donkey balls, but that doesn't make the games any less fun. In other words, it's not all that much of a niche title, appealing only to wrestling fags (not unlike the Tony Hawk series).

Season mode is a little bland, and sometimes annoying. But there's nothing more fun than gathering FIVE friends (you'll need a second multi-tap), and duking it out in one of several gimmick matches, or straight-out wrestling matches. Lots of things are lacking, but the fun that can be had by talking shit to your friend as your wrestler wails on his with a chair outweighs them all. And the ENDLESS possibilities with Create-A-Wrestler is just the icing on the cake. Wanna have your crazy made-up midget wrestle The Tick? Done, and done.

hmm underrated.... Off the top of my head Front Mission 3, Ogre Battle 64, Mischief Makers, and Tribes 2.

I also agree about harvest moon.

Has anyone ever heard of Ultimate Stuntman on NES? The game is great.

Me and my friend could never beat the last boss

I suppose ROGUElikes are very underrated as a whole, especially for being fucking free and very available. Go out and try some you pussies.

What the hell is fun about the game? Once I finished all the mindless tasks of Tom Nook, there was nothing left to do. I walked around and talked to residents, but they weren't helpful. I knew I was missing something so I went to GameFAQs (or GameFAGs) and asked what I was doing wrong in the game and what there was left to do and the response I got was "find seashells, fish, and bugs and sell them for money". It was that moment that I knew the game was complete crap and I took it back to Blockbuster the next day.

My friend has been playing it since she got for Christmas, and she says it's as fun as ever.

I don't know if I'm out of my mind or the rest of the world is.

By the way, EarthBound is very underrated and one of the best RPGs EVAR.

Oh yeah, and another awesome game no one knows about is Brave Fencer Musashi. I loved that game

It was fun, but I couldn't find the actual game anywhere.

Originally Posted by Rongi

But I sold it to buy some other gay game. I hate myself

Originally Posted by Zomboid

I think you meant Crusader of Centy

Originally Posted by HickMan

Anyway, it dosn't matter. That game was underrated. I would rather play Crusaders or Centy or Beyond Oasis any day of the week against any sonic game.

I know a lot of people who didn't like it though . I loved it . The 2nd one wasn't too good though .

Actraiser
Eternal Darkness
Final Fantasy 9
Harvest Moon
WWF No Mercy
Commando for NES (not Bionic Commando that was gay )
Lufia I and II
Mario RPG
Rock n' Roll Racing
Arcana
Wanderers from Y's
Legend of Zelda: Majora's mask
Paper Mario (Fuck you. Yeah, it was easy and stupid, but it was fun )

And I wouldn't call Animal Crossing underrated. Even though I hated it, so many people love it so much that I don't think it can be called underrated.
