Forums - Gaming Discussion - Underrated games in this gen...so far

Anyone have any games that they feel have been underrated in this generation so far?

For me, The Club was underrated.  It wasn't a $60 game, but who couldn't like the spin it had on the shooting genre?  Build combos and get a high score?  I really enjoyed the demo and finally just got it for $10 on ebay.

So, what are your underrated games for this gen?



Around the Network

skate, easily my favorite game of this generation. Unfortunately technical issues marred it down.



...

underrated by people in general, or underrated by metacritic?

If we are going by metacritic then
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (rating of 78, but deserves a 90)

If we are going personal opinions, then I really haven't played any games that are underrated, but I have played a few that are overrated.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
In the past we played games. In the future we watch games. - Forest-Spirit

Actually, I take the second part back.

Super Paper Mario was an excellent game, but because people hate change this game has been way underrated.

Yeah, meant by reviewers.



Heavenly Sword. A Epic game.



Check out my game about moles ^

Every single Ratchet and Clank game ever made is underrated :(

Yes, that includes Tools of Destruction. Only IGN rated it properly, and most humans on this planet, with their 'halo this' and 'braid that', can't notice how awesome it is. I'm talking to YOU, Gamespot! 7.5 indeed...

I guess that's the only one... Oh and Uncharted.

Now, if you asked me to name OVERRATED games this gen, I could name at least 10.
