Most overlooked games on the 360

Hey guys, I'm starting a thread in which you talk about some of your favorite games that didn't sell well and may have been overlooked even by hardcore gamers like you and I. Hopefully everyone will come away wanting to check out some games they've never heard about or didn't know if they were any good.

Anyhow, one of my favorite obscure titles on the 360 is Operation Darkness. There's no other game out there that combines JRPG gameplay, real WW2 history, classic literature, and quirky anime. You play through some actual WW2 history in a sort of alternate reality where you have characters in your party like Frankenstein's monster and Jack the Ripper, and you're up against tanks and soldiers who fight side-by-side with vampires and zombies, and the game ties it all perfectly in with the actual WW2 campaign, and Adolf Hitler (along with his top officers) are some of the bosses in the game. The game is a totally off-the-wall cheese-fest and yet it all works together so well.

What are some other obscure 360 games you love?

Not the most overlooked game, but I haven't heard much from Last Remnant.

Viva Pinata and Banjo Kazooie N&BRobboElRobbo

I wouldn't say overlooked but a few decent oldies are Dead or Alive 4, Lost Odyssey (if that's your thing) and Ace Combat 6.

Dark Sector, one of my favourite games this gen.

PDZ. My one of the oldest but best 360 games.

Earth Defense Force 2017 (if it only had online co-op)

Kengo Ledgend of the 9

Perfect Dark Zero

i wish 360 had more games like that , really loved it a lot.

I enjoyed Dark Sector and The Bourne Conspiracy

:)

Halo 3. I just dont understand the hype for this game at all... =/Lopur94

this is a thread for overlooked games, not your opinion on an over hyped game.

I would agree with this. Last Remnant is a fun game, but to this point, I've never been so frustrated with a game and I've been playing since 1987...

Brother's in Arms: Hell's Highway. The BEST WW2 game this gen and one of the best ever.

Although it gets a ton of hype, I'll go with Shadow Complex with only 200,000 sales. I mean this is a AAA title.

But really obscure ones?

• 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand - Mindless, but fun game

• Spiderman 3: Was lots of fun, Spiderman is a great character, and if you got past the graphics was a solid game

• Heavy Weapon: A great arcade game, tons of fun, great multiplayer title

• Small Arms: XBLA answer to Super Smash Brothers, and if you took the time to learn it, was actually pretty fun

• Tony Hawk's Project 8 and American Wasteland: Were great, too bad Tony Hawk decided to go the way of skate, I loved how unrealistic it was, I mean it was a ton of fun.

• Prey: Was a very solid shooter with a great story
• Hitman: Blood Money was very fun, especially if you're into the whole espionage/assassin thing

If you look hard enough, you can find these titles for dirt cheap, and they are all worth it.

:lol: some of the games mentioned in here are ridiculous.. they were not overlooked in the slightest.

Anyway properly overlooked games where Project Sylpheed and Frontlines: Fuels of War.

Project sylpheed was slightly put down because of its slight frame drop problems, but it was a great fun game.

Also frontlines had a good community, but the online was greatly overlooked.. it went almost unnoticed on Live.

The Godfather 2 it certainly isn't the best game and it has a lot of flaws but throughout my first playthrough I never got bored and I couldn't stop playing it. Although the multiplayer is dead to me for $10 you can completely destroy everyone that doesn't buy the level 5 weapons. I tried it just a little bit after the release and there was already like four guys on each team with them.

Kameo was awesome. I really want to get Nuts and Bolts as well.

Was Battlefield Bad Company overlooked by hardcore gamers?

Banjo Kazooie N&B. I thought it was actually a pretty darn good game. Unique and something different for sure.Mrmedia01

Kameo

Overlord

I would have to say Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, I just recently added that game to my wish list. I don't think that Sonic the Hedgehog or Mercenaries 2: World in Flames got the recognition that deserved. I thought that Sonic the Hedgehog was a great spiritual successor to Sonic Adventure. I also thought that Mercenaries 2 was good for what they had made.

Oh man, here I go again... Shadowrun! By far my favorite FPS to date.

Perfect Dark Zero, Dark Sector (only played demo but the demo was great), Crackdown. For original xbox Spy vs Spy

I spend a lot of time during the summer with my friends trying to create the right vehicle for the mission.

It is so much fun!!!!

Meh, about three months about it you would still find a game, with the same people. The community is most likely dead if not dying. But back in the day, man, Shadowrun was the reason I got into FPS.

Any Rare game.
