insanely underrated game it makes you angry? an why?

Tomb Raider Underworld

this game offered a lot in terms of graphics and gameplay compared to previous installments .

I might say this because I'm a fan of the series but editors in video games websites shouldkeep in mind that different games appeal to different audiences

and what if the guy who wrote the review was not among the audience for a game. Bottom line is : Reviews are not reliable . It's just a point of view . The market is huge with Huge differences in tastes.

The game sold a lot didn't it. Its the same with movies Transformers 2 was one of the worst reviewed movies ever but of course the general population doesn't care which I guess can be good or bad. Everyone has different taste which is why we have so many reviewers so that maybe each can expound on something someone else didn't. I can't stress this enough but you shouldn't look at a reviewer's score of the game but rather what they write down. The score is just a quick summation of the thoughts (really quick) so that people don't feel the need to read what the reviewer wrote.

Disgaea 3, by far the deepest game on the ps3, but it didn't sell to it's potential, and everyone underrates it for being difficult and actually daring to have a unique art style.

Underrated...hmmmm...not sure. But I thought killzone 2 was overrated. I really tried to get into that game but just couldn't.

I thought an 8.0 was a great score for it.

Think about it choppy combat, below average AI, short!, the only thing going for Uncharted was its great story, great bunch of characters, voice acting and ofcourse thos graphics :twisted:.

TR Underworld did get a 7, which is in the right score range for a game full of glitches and other technical problems. Personally, I would have given it an 8 or 8.5 because I love that style of gameplay, but I wouldn't quibble over a one point difference and I certainly wouldn't consider it "insanely underrated".

On the other hand, the 7.5 for Disgaea 3 was definitely a crime. It is an outstanding SRPG. I think a lot of the complaints had to do with the graphics – which I agree should have been upgraded – but I doubt even great graphics would have satisfied the reviewers. Its gameplay does not appeal to the average reviewer so they aren't going to give it its due . It's a shame that their clueless reviews discourage people from trying gameplay unfamiliar to them.

Valkyria Chronicles got an 8.5 which is decent. It definitely deserved more, but it wasn't insanely underrated. But it was insane that it didn't sell better. Clearly, the average gamer is like the average reviewer, they don't know a good thing when they see it.

Resistance - its just total trash, its the most generic and plain boring fps there is. Why does it get rated so high? why?scottiescott238

Heavenly Sword. I know its short, but for what it gave you it was awesome. Great voice acting, characters, graphics, fighting engine, and superb use of the sixaxis. It was my first PS3 game and I still use it to show people the awesomeness of the PS3.

Skate 2. A massive upgrade from the first one. So much fun and addictive. Maybe its because I have been skating almost 20 yrs now but that game is as rewarding and frustrating as real skateboarding. I wish more ppl would give it a try and not be scared of the controls and having to actually ollie up curbs.

Heavenly Sword, Grand Theft Auto IV and Bayonetta.

It doesn't really make me angry though...

The two games that come to my mind are Haze and Alone in The Dark. I've had nothing but great times with those two titles.

But to say that it makes me angry would be lying. I don't give a damn how others like the games I like.

FAR CRY 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mirrors Edge was underrated and didn't sell so good. Great and unique experience

Onlyplayed the demo but Alone in the Dark is also underrated. Great atmosphere and soundtrack

Red Faction Guerilla... it's such an addictive game, it has great presentation & plays very well. Deserved more recognition I think. hrt_rulz01

Bunnyslippers's picture. most people think shadow of the colossus is one of a kind. this is what happened after shadow of the colossus. it came out in 2002 so yeah it exists.

its not really underated but infamous because people i know say it looks boring he just shoots electricity then they mention prototype

Disgaea 3, by far the deepest game on the ps3, but it didn't sell to it's potential, and everyone underrates it for being difficult and actually daring to have a unique art style.

I have to agree. Disgaea 3 was my first Disgaea game and I took the plunge, not knowing what to expect, and I ended up absolutely loving it to bits. I still haven't got round to some of those extra missions yet... I might have to do so eventually. :P

Bionic commando (not rearmed). That game was fun as all heck. The controls were smooth, graphics were good, music was good and most of all it brought back memories of the ole days. :)

I still don't see why critics dogged that game. Uhhh it makes me so mad i want to go break something. arrrrhhhh.

I think Uncharted 1 was a little underrated at GS. But really it doesn't bother me, just as long as i enjoy the game, to me thats all that matters :)

I don't get angry over games but I find TimeShift was underrated.

Ratchet and Clank (for this generation), The games are as good as ever and it seems no one pays attention to them.

Heavenly Sword. I know its short, but for what it gave you it was awesome. Great voice acting, characters, graphics, fighting engine, and superb use of the sixaxis. It was my first PS3 game and I still use it to show people the awesomeness of the PS3.

Skate 2. A massive upgrade from the first one. So much fun and addictive. Maybe its because I have been skating almost 20 yrs now but that game is as rewarding and frustrating as real skateboarding.

This is true, First one was also horribly underrated as it pretty musch reinvented skateboarding games.

Uncharted 1 if I recall was not that popular, sure alot of people loved it and so did I but it was not popular like Halo 3,Cod 4,Resistance 2,Uncharted 2ect ect.

Also I think thos are some pretty good points because a game cant be amazing just because of great graphics and a great story. I always put the story first and if Uncharted 1 did not have such a great story like it did then I would not have enjoyed it as much.

The game had some very bad combat and AI and that can really hurt a game, plus again being short is not going to help with that as well:P. Plus an 8.0 is a good score, it still means the game is great, its not like they gave the game a 7.5 or lower you know ;) In the end tho it all comes down to an opinion, I just do not see how an 8 is a bad score or why Uncharted 1 deserved anything higher since it had some choppy combat and AI, plus a very short campaign like ive said above :).

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, seriously, this game is rly good. Its just too underrated because most ppl think it will be sh*t like all those other movie-games.

The Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction review here on GS was a shocker when it came out, considering the average review for the game was like an 88+.masterpinky2000

Why Uncharted 1 got 8?? It simply deserves at least 9Death-X-

Vampire Rain: Altered Species. It's an improvement over the 360 version and all in all a decent game! it didn't deserve all the 2-3/10 it got. It had a huge emphasis on stealth and was a very atmospheric game with a great soundtrack. The story was also very good. The graphics sucked but that's about it. People who complain about it being too hard are babies. Anyone who can handle Demon Soul's can handle Vampire Rain and I honestly think more people should give it a chance. Most underrated game ever and definitely deserving of a 6-7/10 Keir21

because it was a COMPLETE copy of whats known as the best PS3 exlusive (MGS4 for those of you who are clueless) and its trashhhh

Bionic Commando and Mirror's Edge.

The two PS3 games that stood out from the games I've played and really had me loving almost every minute of it ( nothing's perfect ). Both didn't get the love.

In Bionic Commando, the amount of action and stunts you can chain together is crazy. And it's not like your regular game where you try not to loose a chain of combos to gather points to summon a lethal hit, it's really just out of pure need for dodging, targeting, getting to your enemy, getting away from your enemy, getting your weapons, etc, etc, kicking-arse, all in mid-air. Feels good.

In Mirror's Edge. You get to run around at super fast pace, doing all kinds of stunts (in a very finely designed environment), to dodge bullets. And when you can chain together a long run, it feels super awesome.

I just finished Uncharted 2. It's great, with seamless blockbuster action-flick cinematics. It has good rhythm and good story. But in the end, I just felt that I was amazed by it, that it was a very finely created game in every technical and artistic aspect. But for Bionic Commando and Mirror's Edge, it really felt awesome, like I was some super-human or something.

Heavenly Sword, Grand Theft Auto IV and Bayonetta.

It doesn't really make me angry though...

Seeing that you play Halo3, i wouldnt be surprised that you would hate a game such as Resistance, Halo3 is possibly the most generic shooter out there now, and bungie seems to be making more and more of it, and you most likely will keep on buying those games.

TR Underworld did get a 7, which is in the right score range for a game full of glitches and other technical problems. Personally, I would have given it an 8 or 8.5 because I love that style of gameplay, but I wouldn't quibble over a one point difference and I certainly wouldn't consider it "insanely underrated".

Valkyria Chronicles got an 8.5 which is decent. It definitely deserved more, but it wasn't insanely underrated. But it was insane that it didn't sell better. Clearly, the average gamer is like the average reviewer, they don't know a good thing when they see it.

I personally don't like it.
