what are the most overlooked games in your opinion

heres mine

gitaroo man lives:i wanna know how this amazing rytheme game became so overlooked i own it on psp (although it was also on ps2) and ive played it to death great graphics awesome and unique gameplay and one of the best soundtracks ever composed in gaming even if the game is brutaly diffucult its still a decent game

persona series: while not really underrated the series always seem to be in the shadow of final fantasy or pokemon and some people wont give the seires a chance due to its long narritive and high school setting i say so what its still one of the mosrt stylish rpg series and my fav seires ever great characters well written stories decent battle system and even if ive only played persona 3 and 4 i think i have a pretty good idea what the series i like

any modern sonic game after adventure 2 (except sonic 06 which sucks):i always liked some of the sonic games hell sonic rush is my 3rd fav sonic game o also really enjoyed sonic heroes shadow the hedgehog and sonic unleshed i just wish the fanbase would shut up about modern sonic what cant sonic try new things now

tomba 1 and 2 :god i love thee games to death there some of the best 2d platformers on the ps1 i think the reason there so underrated is because they demand for a high price on ebay and not alot of people seem to like downloading off psn but i think there some of the best 2d platformers ever unique gameplay colorful graphics and adding a few rpg elements in there to break the ice

Dance Factory for PS2. It generates dance moves from any CD that you can dance to on your dance pad, or play with your PS2 controller

 

YES. I'm glad someone agrees with me on this.

Simple 2000 games are usually written off as quick cheap cash ins. But alot of them are really good.

 

Dynamite Headdy.

 

Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight. Sure, it doesn't really have anything to do with Street Fighter... but it's a tough and rewarding game to experience if you can overlook that.

 

Plok basically a Rayman Prototype

 

That reminds me...Monster Rancher for PSX, it created a monster out of any CD you had, it was pretty cool.

Honestly, I think if Vectorman had come out in like 92 or 93 instead of 95, it would have been a much larger series, in terms of both games on it and impact on the industry.

 

Almost every 2nd game in the pc engine library.

 

Yep, I had that game too, around the time it was released. I enjoyed it a lot at the time, but I haven't played it in years. I feel like it might not have the same effect on me now as it did then. But I sold my copy a long time ago. It's one of the few games I had during the PSX era that I don't currently own.

Perhaps, who knows. Although I've heard that Vectorman was intended to be Sega's answer to DKC, so in that light it couldn't have appeared earlier than '94.

 

Same here, besides DKC had the advantage of launching before the 32bit gen started but by the time Vectorman launched the Saturn and PSone were the new kids on the block and what was amazing a year ago were old news by then

Why is sega not making a new one? I remember a ps2 prototype though

 

I thought it was amazing at the time, and I still do. It's the music and the graphics together. I got my first console, a Genesis, in 1995 (I think). I knew a lot of kids who didn't get a 32/64-bit console until '96 or '97. People were not as fast to adopt new technology at that time, and the Saturn and PSX were pretty expensive at first. I did end up getting a 32X in '95 or '96, and then an N64 and a PlayStation in '97. I think.

 

I never actually owned it, I just played it at a friend's house. I had an N64, because Pokemon.

Supposedly the PS2 remake sucked balls so hard, it was cancelled. Ironic, because they were going to make Vectorman look like Master Chief, instead of...balls.

Vectorman was actually the first Genesis game I really, really wanted (and didn't get until like 2005). Seeing stuff for it convinced me to nag my parents for a Genesis in 95 (for $100). I've always been pretty slow at getting new consoles, the Xbox was the first one I got during its lifetime, and 360 was the first and to date only one I got in the first year it was around.

 

That sounds awesome, I think I'll put that on my 2buy list

 

I'mma say definitely Enter The Matrix & The Matrix: Path of Neo (one of my two Most Favorite PS2 games of all time!) but very forgotten after it's hype, same goes for the True Crime series as well.

 

I am going to have to go with ....

Costume Quest PS3

Chip N Dales Rescue Rangers 1 and 2 NES

Hook Snes

Darkwing Duck Nes

 

I've honestly never heard anyone say anything good about Enter the Matrix. Though most of the criticism I've seen comes from wanting to play as Neo, Morpheus or Trinity, I've never heard anyone say it was a particularly good game. So how is it?

 

It is sick nasty. It has a shit load of different combos/attacks you can pull off, as well as the obvious bullet time. The game is pretty fun, & a lot more fleshed out than most movie games are. From my experience, people loved this game. I have heard from gamers and non-gamers alike that this game is enjoyable, so I would give it a try if you ever get a chance and are interested. I am not sure how well it has aged, however.
