My idea of Underestimated differs from yours......
-Arkham Asylum: Nobody expected a Batman game to be good. Then again, nobody thought a human being could beat up Superman. Never doubt Batman, again.
-Forza: Atop the video game racing mountain sits Gran Turismo. Above Gran Turismo sits a young upstart racing franchise called Forza.
-Wii Sports: They laughed when they heard the name "Wii" and saw the visuals of Wii Sports. They aren't laughing anymore.
-Saints Row: There was absolutely no reason for a Grand Theft Auto rip off to succeed this gen. True Crime, The Getaway, Driv3r, and a few others tried and failed to make a name for themselves. Saints Row bucked the trend by being FUN first and foremost. Now, many (like me)and prefer it to the game that inspired it.
Honorable mention to Uncharted, Mortal Kombat (2011), and Dance Central. Game series that had no business being so damned good. They defied my expectations in a good way.
