hmmmmm

people don't seem to know what underrated means or they just ignore it and talk about their favorite game

 

 Exactly! How are Halo 3, Mass Effect, Crackdown, Dead Rising underrated? They sold good to great, were all well received critically and had a lot of good press.

Tomb Raider Underworld got kind of buried in the avalanche of holiday releases but it's beautiful to look at, has some awe inspiring set pieces and controls better than ever.

Red Steel - it did so much right, but had a few flaws and now everyone hates it

To be honest, I consider most 360 JRPGs to be underrated. Some of them are little gems, including Blue Dragon, Infinite Undiscovery and The Last Remnant. I'm serious, they're not as bad as people make them sound to be.

Oh, and Red Steel and Turok are some good underrated FPSs.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

I would say Last Remnant was underrated. Infinite Undiscovery probably deserves what it gets, if only for the horrible beginning and mediocre basic fighting mechanics. It almost seems like Last Remnant caught the backlash IU started. My only problem with Last Remnant was that it had framerate issues, but they were only in combat and remarkably didn't even affect my ability to control the quicktime events within combat. Fable II had worse framerate issues because they actually affected gameplay.

The Last Remnant on PC works extremely fine. ;)
