What is your pick for most underated game ever?
« on: April 23, 2016, 07:28:40 pm »
Some of my picks have a pretty decent following but I feel they don't get the props they deserve. Especially some of them that don't get as much praise compared to the other overrated titles that came before or after them in their series.

Mario Sunshine - Mario 64 and Galaxy both get more love and maybe rightfully so but sunshine was a k.o gem for cube. I think the levels are much more memorable than galaxy, and the controls are better than 64. so I feel it is up there with the other two.

God Hand- One of the best ps2 games. Doesn't get high praise a lot.

State of emergency - Incredibly fun game.

Spy Hunter-  Spy Hunter was an awesome game, I find myself playing it a lot more then most of my other NES games. Its addictive.

Twilight princess- For some reason its always Orcarina and WindWaker,  Never ever twilight princess. but its an awesome game all around.

Sonic colors- this one kinda fell under the table somehow, its honestly top 5 sonic games I have ever played and a real gem on the wii.

Buster Douglas Knockout Boxing for Genesis -  Very fun game to have. Never gets boring.

Stubbs the zombie- Probably my favorite Xbox exclusive aside from Halo 2.  This game is a blast. 

What do you think is the most underrated game ever?

Surprised you're alright with necroing a 1-2 year old thread. Most forums aren't.

Crazy Castle I for NES and GameBoy (both are the same games but with different levels), the game is commonly hated because of angry video game nerd while this is a great game (the sequels not so much :-\ ) because people think this is a platformer, action game while this is a great puzzle game where you must find one of very few if not the only way to beat the level. I really like this game :D

Okage: Shadow King for the PS2. Even with a rerelease on PS4, it still hasn't even been getting too much attention :(

A thousand times: Crystalis on NES. That game is so good. It blends RPG and Legend of Zelda gameplay just perfectly and is so much fun to play.

Better than NES Legend of Zelda, as far as I'm concerned. The single most game deserving of a sequel that never received one.

But it was made by SNK right before they started pumping out fighting games, so it was forgotten about and a sequel was never made.

Sonic 1 on the Master System. I'm claiming this as the most underrated game. It is a game most haven't played. however, it is worse than overrated. It is often bashed as being a terrible port of the genesis game. However, it is a completely different game that rivals Mario on the NES. I would put it as one of the greatest 8-bit platformers.

Never put them in an attic.

I learned that the hard way. Had some sealed games even get damaged due to the plastic expanding in the cold.
