A lot of people missed out on what I consider to be the best MP game of this generation.
Is it a great game or is it a great syndicate game?
I never played it, I'm one of those bad people - when I heard it was FPS my interest was 0.
I love L4D and coop games which "feel" single player - however I rarely rarely play them.
I prefer a good old fasioned SP game.
I picked this game up thanks to a GAFer who posted some screenshots - plus the demo seemed ....... unique as fuck. I got an "Another World" (Out of this world for the savages) feeling from it. I haven't played it yet but it's on my backlog! It's... unique.
So close! I would say Yakuza 3:http://abload.de/img/y26wuxz.jpg
What is it?
Japanese action adventure for badasses
Why do you feel it is underrated?
It didnt sell and therefore Sega dont want to localize Yakuza 5
Why should we play it?
Fun gameplay, great characters, story, soundtrack, life lessons to be learned from, soundtrack,

1. What is it?
An adventure-puzzle game for Wii from Capcom.
2. Why do you feel it is underrated?
Released under radar, nobody bought it, sequel is canned.
3. Why should we play it?
Because it's awesome and full of humor and charm. It's also looks great and plays great, except for some motion gimmicks.

1. What is it?
An arcade style FPS
2. Why do you feel it is underrated?
Due to the juvenile humor "dick tits" and shitty marketing it was criminally overlooked.
3. Why should we play it?
Gameplay was an absolute blast with a fun score-chase upgrade mechanic. It's a beautiful game with a surprisingly decent narrative and on top of it all one of the best SP campaign's this gen.

1. What is it?
Probably the best Contra game ever made.
I don't know if it's really a great Syndicate game exactly. The co-op maps are apparently based on areas from the original game, but I believe it's mainly just Syndicate in name alone.

2. Why do you feel it is underrated?
For the tuning and modding options. As great as Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport are no other console driving game has had a graphical representation of car modding like Import Tuner Challenge. Even n00bs can understand things like camber, toe in/out because you see the vehicle physically change in real time as you make mods. Want a Stage 2 Induction kit? It physically shows you the parts added into the engine bay from Pod filters to cold air intakes being fitted to your car.

My buddy and I played the shit out of this game. We both liked it more than SSFIV, actually.Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
![]()
1. What is it?
A team-based fighting game, which introduced several interesting mechanics (such as the Baroque system), that has a varied cast of characters from the Japanese Animation Studio Tatsunoko Productions, & the famous video game studio, Capcom Japan.
2. Why do you feel it is underrated?
It had gotten lost in the shuffle when the over-rated Marvel VS. Capcom 3 was announced, and it didn't help that the game was exclusive to the Nintendo Wii. It was also problematic that there was a lack of familiarity with the Tatsunoko cast, along with several questionable choices in the Capcom roster.
3. Why should we play it?
Ultimate All-Stars was a fine example of being a great crossover fighting game, one that had moved at a brisk pace, with great controls (which made it easy to seamlessly combo & switch between characters), and it offered wonderful competitive gameplay. It had also felt deeper & was much better balanced fighter than the dumb-dumb Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Which was dumb. And Stupid. And possibly dumb.
In addition, the North American version included 4 new characters (Zero & Frank West for the Capcom side, while Joe the Condor & Yatterman 2 rounding out the Tatsunoko cast), along with a toe-tappin' soundtrack.
Is the music from the video part of the OST of the game? Because it sounds horrible. Aside from that, the game looks fun.Final Fantasy Type 0

1. What is it?
The best Final Fantasy of the gen(well looking at the other FF games it's not saying much, but it's really good)
2. Why do you feel it is underrated?
It's not underrated, it's not localized
3. Why should we play it?
because... it's the best Final fantasy of the gen lol

For me it's Asura's wrath:
1. What is it?
Bluntly speaking it's a QTE fest with some levels that either play like a generic 3d person action brawler, or like a Shoot 'em up. The story and cutscenes play out like an anime show, and for many of us it's the best Dragon ball z game that never came out.
2. Why do you feel it is underrated?
It's a niche title, for sure, But it does seem like many people were put off by the low scores and the fact the entire game consists of cutscenes and QTEs. I would say it deserves more recognition(though I really dislike Capcom) and shouldn't be dismissed because of its weirdness.
3. Why should we play it?
![]()
I promise you this; if you enjoyed Dragon ball z, or just like cutscenes and QTEs in video games, you will enjoy this game. It has some really enjoyable shmup levels, in the vein of Sin and punishment, and the scale of the game is absolutely huge.
If you have ever played God of war 3 and thought "Wow, it's so epic!" and never played Asura's wrath, you don't know what true epicness is. This game has the most epic bosses and cutscenes you have ever seen in a game, and that's a guarantee.

RADIANT HISTORIA
What Is It?
An amazing JRPG that was released late into the life of the Nintendo DS. Developed and published by Atlus, it contained an immense world and story with relatable characters and a strong supporting cast. Read more on Wikipedia.
Why is it underrated?
It sold extremely little and only a handful of people know of this game.
Why should you play it?
There's a unique battle system and a unique way to experience the story. It has multiple endings and every decision came with repercussions. It was also developed by a team filled with talent ranging from Etrian Odyssey to Shin Megami Tensei to Persona. It's an amazing RPG and it definitely deserves some attention.
What is it?
It is the direct A Link to the Past sequel we've never got.

What Is It?
A co-op platforming game by The Behemoth, known for Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers.
Why Is It Overlooked?
It was released this summer amidst the hype for the new consoles. The Xbox 360 itself seems to have been slowing down recently and nobody ever talks about this game.
Why Should We Play It?
Because it has some of the funniest dialogue you will ever see along with some of the fastest, most enjoyable platforming in years. Not to mention an abundance of incredible multiplayer minigames and the gorgeous art The Behemoth is famous for.
Well I agree God of war 3 is the better game, but Asura's wrath has far better cutscenes. The scale of some of the bosses and fights is mindblowing.The best thing this has over God of War III is that Asura is post-I&II Kratos done right.

5 bucks on STEAM right nowAlice: Madness Returns
Sent out to die by EA with little to no support such is the way of EA when it comes to titles that wont do stupid numbers in the sales department. And I feel because of the old school feel it has many reviewers just didn't give it a fair shot.
A very beautiful game with a wonderful art style. It has a great old school platformer adventure feel which you just don't get anymore. It does have some camera issues but nothing to worry about. The combat is surprisingly good for a title like this with various weapons to collect and power. It manages to feel fresh and varied throughout the game. The story is also quite good and worth investing in.

Enchanted Arms
Too late, but...Been waiting for a price drop on this in like forever.
Tearaway of course. It sold so few copies it is sold for 17.99 mere weeks after its release.
What is it?
An adventure/platformer designed for the vita.
Why do you feel it is underrated?
Because it is on the Vita, and it belongs to a genre that is difficult to break into. It is also a completely new IP.
Why should we play it?
It looks amazing, plays amazing, and is innovative.
For me it's Asura's wrath:

1. What is it?
Grid based, turn based traditional JRPG, released early last gen on X360 and then ported to PS3, made by GAF's beloved FROM software.
2. Why do you feel it is underrated?
It was released early last gen on the xbox 360 only before the PS3 even launched, and coming from the PS2 generation, with all the AAA JRPGs, i think everyone thought this gen will be FILLED with AAA traditional JRPGs, and everyone ignored the game, also the game's low-fi presentation, and cliched cast didn't help
3. Why should we play it?
its a great,charming and fun traditional turn based JRPG, when most JRPGs released these days are real-time, and there isn't much traditional JRPGs on consoles these days, the game is also long (~50 hours), has a pokemon-esque monster collection and upgrade system. it also has some nice features in the game, like save anywhere, and battle Fast Forward so easy encounters don't take much time
I want to give this a nod too. If it wasn't for Last Remnant I think gameplay wise this would be my favorite turn based rpg on PS3/360. The game is a lot of fun with the whole grid system for combat.
Lovely variation on the signs.

I am glad to see EA get some love. I have always considered picking it up but never saw much love for it and always bypassed it. I will snag it the next time I see it and finally give it a shot.

King's Bounty: The Legend
What is it?
It's a turn-based strategy/RPG hybrid from the Russian Developer Katauri Interactive. It was released in 2009.
2. Why do you feel it is underrated?
Not many people talk about it or it's sequels. While it had two, also excellent, sequels, all three games seem to be pretty unknown everywhere.
3. Why should we play it?
Because it brings hours of great gaming. There is nothing more satisfying than recruiting an army and clear island after island of enemies while building your hero into a complete monster.

1. What is it?
An Action Hack & Slash RPG made by Cavia (Their last game *tears*)
2. Why do you feel it is underrated?
Released on the same week as Final Fantasy XIII and was ignored by Square Enix with small budget but the entire game feels like a mix of risky experiments not seen in other games
3. Why should we play it?
It has some of the best soundstrack of all time. The story is one of the most depressing stories ever. The characters are all lovable with amazing dialog exchange between them. Drakengard's sequel (in a way). GOTTA RIDE THAT BOAR ALL DAY EVERYDAY!

1. What is it?
Crysis 2. It's multiplayer is awesome, but not many people play(ed) it.
2. Why do you feel it is underrated?
Like I said, not a lot of people played it. There was a lot of negativity surrounding it. It was and still is a bit buggy, but the bugs are mostly superficial.
The game was a perfect combination of the speed and maneuverability of Unreal Tournament, the gunplay of any modern shooter and the energy management of the nanosuit.
3. Why should we play it?
It's one of those games that will grow on you. One of those games where you can get really good at. It's a game where you can get good enough to get a kill streak of 50+, just by using your gun. There are kill streak rewards and they are mostly comparable to cod 4's killstreak rewards.
One of those games where dying 100% feels like your own fault.
People still play it. There are about 200 people playing it at this moment, but it fluctuates. I still play it from time to time, because it reminds me how boring most other multiplayer games are.

2. Why do you feel it is underrated?
It's a quirky, interesting little indie RTS/tower defence game that never seems to get talked about.
3. Why should we play it?
It's achingly beautiful, addictive and with a surprising amount of depth. It ticks all the right boxes for being an indie darling, yet never gets mentioned that I've seen.
Little King's Story:
![]()
1. A RTS mixed in with elements of city building and action. Essentially, a better Pikmin.
2. Kiddy looking cover for a title released on a "kiddy" console. Yet, it's rated T, so no kid would accidently pick it up. A misfit among misfits.
3. Great gameplay, charming artstyle, moody music, memorable characters and a story that actually goes places you wouldn't think it would.

1. What is it?
Strategy RPG set in 15th Century France lighty based on Joan of Arc
2. Why do you feel it is underrated?
This was one of the Earlier PSP Strat/RPG's to come out, but of course you had to own a PSP which in US didn't take off as much as in other countries.
3. Why should we play it?
It had an incredible battle system, and pretty awesome story. Did i mention that it was made by level 5? also this was Ken Levine's favorite PSP game. I really don't know what to say except to give this game a chance, It immediately hooked me with the story and ability crafting, and I hope/wish that everyone would champion this game a bit more
I have 2 entries because I really couldn't pick between who needs mentioned more.

1. What is it?
The Last Story, an Action RPG by original Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi released on the Wii towards the end if it's life.
2. Why do you feel it is underrated?
The game was one of the 3 games that project rainfall got Nintendo to bring to the US/EU. While the game sold well by Nintendo's and Mist Walker's standards, I still feel it could use a lot more attention.
3. Why should we play it?
The story is truly amazing, regardless of horrible voice acting. For the Wii, the game is damned beautiful, and this is the gameplay that Final Fantasy should have. The combat works flawlessly, taking command of your partners works perfectly and your partner AI rarely has idiot moments. It's sad that the game didn't get the attention it deserves.
