Honestly, this was my favorite game of 2006. All the levels were great and different. The use of social stealth was much better than that of Assassin's Creed. The music was amazing. There were so many different ways to go through each level that it encouraged multiple playthroughs. The Heaven and Hell Party and Christmas Party levels were great. I just can't say enough good things about this game.

Mass Effect was damn near perfect in my eyes. I don't see how anyone could have scored it below a 9-9.5

Rachet & Clank was here but only by .5-1 point. I think games are constantly being overrated this gen so far do to hype Mass Effect, GTA4, Gears Of War, Halo 3 instead of underrated...

Sonic and the Secret Rings. People look at it and think "Pfft, another 3D Sonic" and move on. But they forget that Sonic has been good in 3D before. Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, and Sonic Heroes were all good games. Not as great as the Genesis cIassics, but still good. Shadow, DX, and Sonic '06 were garbage, but that's no reason to ignore the good games in the series.

Hitman, oh yes. The use of Social stealth was amazing though as soon as you solve it then you can just sweep through, kind of like Splinter Cell.

going by gamespot scores, Audiosurf. It is definitely one of my 5 favorite games this gen, and will eventually be my most played game of the generation.

I would agree with you, but that wasn't released in the past few years.

In fact, next year, Homeworld will have surpassed a decade of age.

i agree. Easily one of the most epic/immersive games on the 360, yet it gets an 8.5? i dont see the logic

Audiosurf is a simple, yet epic game on so many levels. i love it.

Anyways, i thought Lost Odyssey was pretty underrated. Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones deserved at least a 9

I agree. Hitman BM was an amazing game. I played that game 3 times through, and it never got old or repetitive.

i haven't tried that one, but if it's anything like Path of Radiance or any other FE game, it should have gotten a much better score. that really shocked me

It's basically an improved Path of Radiance (in pretty much every way). It has a few weird design choices such as breaking the game up into acts (making you use different parties in each one), but it's still excellent and it's longer than most of the other FE games.

Seeing as it was a GCN port, it lost points for a lot of unimportant things (online play, Mii support, etc.).

if it's basically just Path of Radiance (or any FE game, for that matter) with a few changes, i would have been just fine with that even with the lack of online and miis and stuff. this game's one of the few games I'd want a Wii for.

I gotta say R&CF. It got RIPPED OFF. I swear that game deserved at least an 8.5, and thats if you didn't like it at all. 9.0 easy if you ask me.

It got jacked. really it should have been the first AAAE. and then Uncharted. Oh well though.

Uncharted. This is a very good game. Only flaw it had was a lack of multiplayer, but I mean the graphics, good characters, a good story in a shooter. It was a great game--a little short--first time playing on hard--it took me 9 hours.

Ratchet. 7.5? GTFO.

Definately agree with BM man. I really hope they release another Hitman game this gen. The game rules.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Not for the score so much (although it definetly deserved more than a freaking 6 :evil: ), but for why they gave it the score is what makes it criminal. I mean, come on. It's a turn based tactical RPG type thing, and they knocked it down for not having waggle and Mii support?

SonyGamer93

:o it is so rare that I find a fellow Cooper fan. Sly Cooper is the most fun series I have ever played in my life. Sly 2 is my favorite game of all time and I don't think it will be beat.

All horror games are underrated because a lot of people don't play them. BESIDES Resident Evil, of course.

No More Heroes and Killer7 of course.

Indigo Prophecy deserves a mention itt

I think that Devil May Cry is a tad underrated because of it's difficulty, and people that are looking for a difficult game usually turn to NG or GoW instead, when DMC is better than both of those imho

I don't know if I should say this one but, Okami doesn't get mentioned a whole lot and is an amazin g game that deserves a mention.

and there is much, much more

Sonic and the Secret Rings. People look at it and think "Pfft, another 3D Sonic" and move on. But they forget that Sonic has been good in 3D before. Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, and Sonic Heroes were all good games. Not as great as the Genesis cIassics, but still good. Shadow, DX, and Sonic '06 were garbage, but that's no reason to ignore the good games in the series.famicommander
They were average. They weren't great like the past.

An average Mario Platformer just doesn't cut it. An average Half Life shooter doesn't cut it.

Average is well average.

ALso games like Sonic Adventure and Sonic adventure 2 aged terribly. The gamecube versions scored so poorly because of how bad the games actually were.

Secret Rings was a some what fun game, but it wasn't great or criminally underrated.

Where as games like Okami didn't sell, ICO never gets mentioned, Stalker is beyond the words immersive and amazing and only gets mentioned by Hermits, and then there is stuff like Killer 7, The Darkness, Fire Emblem Radiant of Dawn, and the list continues.

THere are far better and more underrated games than Sonic and the secret rings.
