What game(s) did you think would be nothing special, but turned out to be really cool?

I feel like I'm missing out on some stuff other than the Wii's big titles.

SSX Blur, hard to learn but worth it. Better than any recent Tony Hawk game by a mile.

Super Monkey Ball:Banana Blitz I guess. Although the controls are way too frustrating on some minigames/levels.

Sonic and the Secret Rings.

It's one of the top ten Wii games out there, and nobody expected such a good Sonic game after Shadow and '06.

Death Jr: Root of Evil

It's much more than a PSP port, it has great control, a great camera system, and the wii-mote pointer was integrated perfectly.

Blur gets my vote. The ammount of people that complain about its controls is rediculous. It takes time to learn, but once you nail it, its really fun and easy to storm down the mountain pulling off Uber tricks

That's why I think it's the most underrated game on Wii. People don't get used enough to the controls and say the game is terrible.

Sorry for the triple post.

Well the only game that really surprised be and went above and beyond with fun was Super Paper Mario. On Wiiware that Dr. Mario Online Rx sure surprised me - I was thinking it was some stupid wii port of the Dr. Mario mini-game from Brain Age 2, but it's the classic Dr. Mario we know and love, enhanced for the modern age - with online to boot!

I have to admit that I didn't expect much of anything from that game. The game is terrible at the beginning, and even a good 5 hours into the game. But as you progress he gets faster and stronger and can jump higher, etc. THEN it gets good. Good and addictive. Some of the initial frustration doesn't go away, but the last few levels are BEAUTIFUL and its fun to go back and totally own most of the earlier levels.

The music sucks balls the whole time, though. Hope they fix that in Unleashed.

Elebits! The only reason this board didn't go through an Elebits craze is because it came out at launch against Twilight Princess.

Boom Blox and The Godfather: Blackhand Edition. I wasn't expecting much of both but both turned out to be really great. Those wo game's are among some of the best software you'll find on the Wii.

Speed racer, this an awesome racer, speed, great visuals, a "feel good" moment when you knock out other characters. You can read my review in my profile.

One piece, It's a fun game with cool mechanics and cool visuals.
