Marvel: Ultimate Alliance and PGR 3/4 have something in common

They are arguably (I repeat, arguably, if you look up the average scores) one of the best games of the generation yet no one talks about them. May I ask why?

MUA is blah. I don't understand how so many liked that game. It's a really crappy dungeon crawler.

MUA--Because it's licensed. And Capcom wasn't the dev behind it.

PGR 3/4--When you bring these games up, people here always complain that it's not as good as Forza or Gran Turismo.

PGR is arcadey trash.

MUA was like a cheap thrown together version of xmen legends with different character skins

well let me correct myself. a cheap thrown together version of xmen legends 2. the first one was good, the second one took away all the non action parts (like a story or character development) and just wasn't as good

PGR4 is one of my favourite games this gen. Im not sure why people dont talk much about them, maybe its because americans generally suck at racing games (sorry about the generalisation)-DrRobotnik-

The thing about racers is they need to have copious amounts of customization and tuning to be played online without having the same cars played by everyone in every single race you drive in. PGR does not have that so it suffers heavily from dominant car syndrome. GT4 and Forza 2 are like car RPGs, which is why they are so popular. Tons of unlockables, tons of custimization, tons of cars, tons of tuning options for those cars. They are just so much more everything than PGR, which is why I don't bother playing it when there are much better alternatives out.

PGR has graphics over Forza 2, but I'm sure Forza 3 and DEFINITELY GT5 will change that.

Wow, I guess I am in the minority for UA. I thought it was an absolutely awesome game, so much that after I bought the regular edition I had my girlfriend buy me the gold edition (due to the bugs that I heard from just DLing the DLC) to get the other characters. Played through the game so many times, have all but one achievements, all my characters are in the high 80s, and I just thought that it was a great game, and that it was *gasp* better than Legends.
