terranigma, the best RPG on the snes and on any system.

That's not underrated.  In fact, just about everyone who has played it has loved it.

Half the people in this thread haven't mentioned any underrated games at all, just low selling/slightly obscure ones.  Underrated means a game that has gotten a lot of negative reviews, attention, and what-not that you enjoyed. 

I'll go with Sonic and the Black Knight.  This game has gotten panned by critics and whiny forum posters (who haven't played it) alike.  The fun part is that once you recognize the few game boss battles suck and the early levels suck, you also realize that the rest of the game is excellent.  I couldn't help but thinking as I was going through one of the lava levels "Holy crap, this is exactly what a 3D Sonic game should be" because it was just that great. 

Hmm you make a good point WoW. I tend to lump in games that people haven't played but dismiss as underrated even if they have a good average review. However going along with the theme of your post. The Last Remnant (PC). While I think the 360 game is underrated, the PC version improves upon the game in addition to eliminating the technical glitches that were present in the 360 version. Yet the review scores for the PC version of the game are near indentical to the 360 version.

I agree with The last Remnant, I really liked the game, it took soem getting used to since it IS different than other RPGs. I also didn't seem to get any issues (technical glitches) that other people have experienced or maybe I am just more forgiving of pop ups :) since this is a TURN BASED RPG and these issues matter less in a turn based RPG as opposed to twitch control FPS. However, I did  isntall the game to hard drive as it was mentioned that it benefitted greatly from that.

I have been looking for a deal for the PC one as I have read that it is much better since you can create an army of all commanders and don't need to get soldiers at all. I have stopped playing the 360 version since I am planning to get the PC version.
