Any Elder Scrolls game except Oblivion.

Oblivion is amazing, but its not underrated.

The original Paper Mario. TTYD got the respect it deserved, but most people didn't even play the first.

Got to admit one hack of game ^_^ best from the series XD
But I don't think it's badly underrated, though... but a bit more attention would have done the game justice

Max Payne everyone gave it kind of a dirty look but the story was pretty good and bullet time was pretty awesome the first few times....

Gitaroo Man you don't hear enough about this game. Simple but totally rocked and i will never forget the Legendary Theme!

Mischief Makers What's better than grabbing a missile out of mid-air, SHAKING it till it gets bigger and throwing it at your opponent?

I've played Max Payne, but wasn't blown away by the game either XD
But I do have to agree bullet time was pretty awesome, but gets less interesting over time...

Try the second one. It wasn't all that popular, but it's great enough that I still break it out at least once a year and play through it. Graphics are much improved over 1 and they've added...*dramatic pause*...RAGDOLL PHYSICS! It's worth playing if only to see the funny death poses.

the legacy of kain series had a pretty kick ass story line, plus the second game in the series (soul reaver) was the first game to have music that changed on a situation based system instead of just changing whenever you changed areas or got in to a boss fight

yes yes yes the soul reaver games are gems I love them all good story, beautiful graphics, voice acting was flawless. Ima have to throw out Secret of Evermore for most underrated btw the music is awsome as well. To me it was better then Secret of Mana but ill probably get flamed for saying that honestly Secret of Mana didnt appeal to me at all I thought it was horrible. DuesEX for PC that game had some of the best voice acting i heard at the time on PC not to many people got into it sadly.

Dragon Force is a real-time strategy and tactics video game from Sega created for the Sega Saturn. It was created in Japan and translated for U.S. release by Working Designs in 1996. A sequel, never translated, was released for the Saturn in Japan in 1998. The first title was re-released for the PlayStation 2 as part of the Sega Ages series.

WOW O_o that game looks awesome
I hope they make such game for the DS ^_^

They may not all be as underrated as you asked for, but these games deserved a whole lot more attention than they got. If you are a Metal Gear fan and you've never played Snatcher, then your not THAT big of a MGS fan now are you?

i dont see people talking about suikoden 2.
its not a great graphic game, but if you wanna a game with story, i recommend that one!
its from playstation 1, if you are from the new generation of games, you can play the new ones, but the suikoden 2 are a special game.^^
see ya man

I don't know if I would consider Suikoden 2 underrated. It has many sequels so I think it got some well deserved attention but to be honest...none of the sequels compares to Suikoden 1 and 2. : /

i dont consider a underrated game too. but in this site, i dont see talk about so much, the guys who has playstation 1 , i think they play suikoden, but kids with 14 years old, dont.
you say about sequels, i dont get clearly, but i must say, that game help me build some pillars of my thoughts.

Got another one! Saw the comments about Suikoden II and realized Suikoden V is pretty underrated as well. 3 was a step away from everything I loved about 2, but 5 goes back to the old school way they did things in 1 and 2. Great music, great gameplay, and a great story with plenty of twists. The biggest change I enjoyed was the fact that you're not a scrappy rebel force fighting the big, powerful empire this time around, you're the exiled prince trying to retake your throne.

Thought of another one. Little Nemo: Dream Master for the NES. This was an amazing game that I hope to replay someday. Not many people know about it from what I've seen.

I highly recommend playing the Ace Combat series. If you have a PS2, I INSIST you buy Ace Combat 4, 5 and 0. Since you have a 360, I think you should get Ace Combat 6.

As for the games themselves...

It's an arcade-style flight game. You shoot down planes and sometimes tanks. Simple as that.

BUT, you're under constant guidance of awesome music, an AMAZING storyline and stunning visuals for a PS2 (or 360) game.

Okay, this game isn't really underrated, in fact most reviews are quite positive. I just think that too few people have ever played or at least heard of the game. Go play it, it's Zelda for your PSone!

I thought of another one... again. Croc 2 for the PS1. This game kept me entertained forever and had great replayability, even after you 100% it. It was quite a good game.

The original Oddworld games (Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus) deserve more attention. They were pretty much perfect. "Munch" for the XBox was alright, but not quite as great. "Stranger's Wrath", whilst very different, was also very, very good, and much better than "Munch".

Pretty much any game for RPG MAKER 2000 is worth a try at least.

I thought ace Combat was terrible. It was just boring on the PS2

Turok was really solid, but for a different system (older one, forget). I would say an underated game would have to be Heroes of Might and Magic for PC...game offered a lot of replay value.

I have always loved Bubsy 1 and 2 for the Super Nes.
Also, Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse was good too. The music for the forest level was really great. Coincidentally, if you muted the game, it went really well with the music of Captain Beefheart.
