General Chaos, its corn storyline only added to its greatness.

Ooooh, I love that game, there's so much to do, and so much freedom. Then again, I'm an aviation junkie :D
yeah, Pilotwings was great, both on N64 and SNES......ah, what great memories.....

here's an underrated game I'm sure few have played....Power Rangers for Gamegear :P.....seriously though, that was a fun game!!!! I still play it on my gamegear every once in awhile and it is AWESOME :)!!!!!!!!!

the only other game I can think of that might be underrated is this one Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game for SNES that me and my friends would always play.......actually, there's probably a BUNCH of games that one could consider "underrated"....I guess an underrated game is one that only you and few others have fun with :P....

Edit: oh yes, I almost forgot.....Star Wars: Shadow of the Empire for N64, and Rush 2 (the one with the huge stunt course) for N64 :)......the star wars game was great, and I could literally spend hours just doing jumps on the stunt course in Rush 2 :D.....
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

SHENMUE i think is the most under rated game problebly becouse it started on Dreamcast I dont know.
It had a great story line
"One day a boy named Ryo Hazuki from a town in 1986 Japan called Yokosuka runs home one day to find the name plate from the house broke in half and the door slightly ajar. he steps in and discovers his nanny named Ine-san is injured and laying on the ground. He helps her up to find that his father Iwao is in the Dojo meeting some one. He walks up to the Dojo as his fathers live in student Fuku-san flys out the door. ryo askes him what happened and Fuku-san just replies RYO-san. he steps in the Dojo and sees a strange man in green chinese clothing asking Iwao about the location of a mirror. Iwao refuses and the man attacks him and kicks him in the face. As Iwao falls Ryo attacks the man and Ryo is put in his place. Iwao replies that he would never tell so The man grabs Ryo and gets ready to give him a death blow to his kidneys(problebly) and Iwao spills the beas aboutn the mirros location, The man Nodds to 2 black suits in the room to send them out for the mirror. As they leave the man askes if he remembes Zho Sunming and says that Iwao killed him in Mung Cun.
Iwao gets up and the man Punches him with great force. The man gets the Mirror and leaves Ryo craws to his father and holds him in his arms un till he Dies., hever sence then Ryo has had been trying to take revenge out on the man named Lan-Di"
the game looks awesom
screen shots
the VOs are little slow between captians.
REALISTIC TIME that is current throught the whole game unless you go to sleep.(10minutes to an hour)
the first FREE based game
the fighting system is sensational to taking turns just throw those puches
3 letters QTE
where you have to press a button when the icon for that button apears on the screen.
Timed you must beat the game by a certain date on the game or Lan-di comes back and kills you.
Play old Arcade games made by the creator like hang on or Space harrior
the music is great utalizing different eastern asian intraments and Japanese pop from the $80s
use money to buy cassetts, chocolate, chips, Fish, soda, milk, coffie
an experience not found anywhere else

A large number of games on the Dreamcast didn't get the attention they deserve, and the Gamecube often feels unfairly ignored given the standard of the gameplay in the first/second party titles.

DC, maybe, but Gamecube has made Nintendo a stack of cash.

They hit sales of 4 billion between April and December of last year, equating to a profit of 300 million, and Resident evil 4 doubled their market share in Europe. Hardly unpopular.

Comix Zone on Megadrive was a bit underrated

WWF Attitude on DC was underrated too, it was better than that piece of crap Royal Rumble

Battle 22 sucked. The controls were worse than the famicom/genesis games.

The best DBZ games were Budokai 3, Legendary Super Warriors, and Hyper Dimension (the only good famicom game). I am dieing to import Legends, which with 4-on-4 battles is probably awesome.

Plus the cover art is cool.

My favorite game is Kingdom Hearts, which I would say is underrated. How? It is co-developed with Disney but underneath it all, it's still Square. And good Square. Not Square-Enix. After Square and Enix joined their stories went downhill. But now that KH1 set the path for KH2, I have a good feeling that it will be good.

I really don't have any other games that are underrated. I guess the .Hack// series, I played the first two. It got too boring but it is really fun.
