Bulletwitch for this gen: 58%

All time: Red Ninja 48%

I have games in the high 80% and low 90% that I didn't enjoy as much as these two. I also liked the Bouncer and Catwoman.

Just been through the Gamerankings lists for 3 of my 4 my consoles (I looked at Megadrive too but there were very few reviews and I didn't disagree with any scores I saw)

Games that fit your criteria (scored under 70% but I enjoyed them and think they should be higher)

N64
Destruction Derby 64 7.0 63.6%
Hydro Thunder 7.5 66.1%
Re-Volt 4.5 59.7%
South Park Rally 4.3 43.2%
V-Rally Edition '99 5.1 55.1%

(I wouldn't rate South Park Rally very highly, perhaps 60%, but I still enjoyed it)

Games that I think are very underrated, but still scored ok

N64
BattleTanx: Global Assault 7.6 76.0%
F-Zero X 8.1 86.1%
Jet Force Gemini 8.0 81.1%
Star Wars Episode I: Racer 7.1 75.8%

GameCube
Burnout 7.5 79.1%
Chibi-Robo 7.6 78.4%

Wii
Endless Ocean 8.7 74.3%
Excite Truck 8.5 75.4%
SSX Blur 7.8 74.4%
Wii Sports 8.5 76.5%
Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure 9.0 85.7%

Games that deserved the poor scores that they got.

Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 2 5.3 48.0%
Rugrats: Scavenger Hunt 3.3 52.7%
Wii Play 6.7 60.4%

(Wii play gets away with that score though, because the game is easily worth the £5/$10 you pay for it)

It seems all the ones that properly fit the question (in blue) are games I bought for the N64, likely because in those days I didn't check reviews at all, so I picked what looked good... that method obviously has it's flaws based on Army Men and Rugrats (and a couple of other N64 games that I wished I hadn't bought)

Mario Party 8.

It's one of the best in the series yet critics railed on it.

^so the lowest ranked games you have played are 60%, and two 75%?

I agree they are all underated though (massively so in Wii sports case, and hugely so for EO... I'd say 93 and 89 for those two)

Someone actually liked Bullet Witch? That's insane...

Anyway, for me it would have to be Koudelka, the PS1 prequel to the Shadow Hearts games. Gamerankings average: 60%, mostly due to the game's short length and various technical problems. If you liked the Parasite Eve or Fear Effect games, though, I'd definitely recommend giving it a go.

"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
