Probably

1. Lost Odyssey. By far the best JRPG this gen. In fact the best JRPG I played since FF7.

2. Ninja Blade. So badly underated. The story maybe fairly standard stuff, but the best QTE in a hacker and nice battle system with difficult bosses should have had this game rated much better. To a hacker fan it's bliss. Big set pieces, crazy stunts and overlooked visuals to.

Yeah Ninja Blade is high up on my list of underrated titles this gen, like its HIGHLY underrated, and sadly one of those titles people didn't even give the time, cause I feel if it found a group of gamers they'd spread the word and it'd get decent sales.

Ninja Blade actually got my friend to say "Fuck God of War, Kratos has nothing on this" and he's a GoW fan, but this friend goes crazy over action games lol so it could have been the excitement, but just that he compared it to GoW is something for some nay sayers to at least try it.

Between Ninja Blade, Tenchu SA and Demons Souls I've gained a LOT of respect for From Software this gen, sadly not much of their stuff has caught on yet, next up being 3D Dot Game Heroes!


Yeah. Another NB fan. Yes.

I firmly believe if M$ picked up the rights to NB and threw some money and R&D at FromSoftware that Ninja Blade 2 could be visually close to GOW3. Maybe not quite, but close. Ninja Blade looked  fantastic when it released. In fact better than any other Hack n Slash game at the time.

Please FS do Ninja Blade 2. It is definately the best QTE in any Hacker and has a fantastic battle system. Just give the story some extra thought and go for major great looks. It has the potential in my eyes to be the number 1 hacker game.

Following vid may contain spoilers. I had to post it. The game is seriously better than most HNS games and IMO a truly great Rollercoaster ride.

Some people will probably think I'm joking but I'll go with

Carnival Games - There is a large variety of games, the motion controls work well in most of them, has a unique setting/game selection. I think there are a 10-15 really enjoyable games in the bunch. I've had the game since soon after it released and still find it to fun to play every once in awhile in a group setting. Some of my casual/non gamer friends and family members request to play it. (Gamerankings score - 59, my rating 75).

LOL @ the mentions of Assassin's Creed. It sold 8.4 million on the 360 + PS3!  It's ties for 6th in all-time sales on the PS3, and 8th on the 360.  The only games that have outsold it are called Halo, Call of Duty, GTAIV, MGS4, or Gears of War.  If that's underrated, I'd take it.

Anyways, I'll also vote for Mirror's Edge. Yet to break a million on either console. It could have used some fine tuning, but it was a lot of fun and quite original. I'll definitely be watching for Mirror's Edge 2.

I liked Civilization Revolution, too. It's not the kind of game that will please a lot of hard core Civ4 fans, but I had a lot of fun with it.

The third one I'll name is Eat Lead. It barely sold at all, and the review scores were horrible, but I actually thought it was ok. It's not up there with the best shooting games, but it's definitely not the worst that I've played (that honour goes to Terminator: Salvation).

Underrated.

I personally would have to go with Lost Odyssey. The game is amazing for the score.



MaxwellGT2000 on 06 April 2010

Yeah Assassin's Creed can fall under the underrated title, like I said its not about the sales, personally I could list up Wii Sports, it gets hated on, its bashed, it has low ratings, but damn is it a fun game.

Only thing is I also want people to look at some games they totally wrote off, for others I leave it open because we are informed gamers, sometimes high selling games are ignored by the informed gamers because it was rated low, but fellow gamers can say something that might appeal to said gamer, it also leaves open the discussion what counts for underrated.

Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"
