A game i was really surprised was Saints Row.

I remember laughing at the game before it came out since no GTA clone has ever been even close to being decent (True Crime anyone?)

I was very skeptical and then i played the demo and loved it.When the game came out i played EVERY SINGLE MISSION to coplete it 100% (not the tags though)

NOw i am waiting for the PS3 versiion so i will rent it form GF and play it again.

What is your most surprisingly good game?

Earth Defense Force 2017. I thought it was going to be an awful budget game, but it's a complete blast to play.

I was surprised by Dead Rising, I didn't expect much from it...and I was surprised by how great of a atmosphere Condemned created, it was a scary game not cause stuff always jumps out at you but because the feeling of the game was just creepy.

yeah i play GH2 a lot now but i wouldnt say its the most surprising...i'd probably say Oblivion (for my reasons) because i've never been able to get into an RPG just not my game but i actually got into it and enjoyed it which surprised me

Vegas, thought it would be like Rainbow Six: "Letdown" but when the demo came out for Single Player I was addicted, and I was even more when I got Live.

Perfect Dark Zero, I only got it a week ago, worried about the amount of smack some people give it, ended up loving it. Only annoying thing is the higher difficulties are bloody hard for me.

I played Hitman on an older console and didn't really like it.  My favorite game on this system is Hitman:Blood Money.  I was very surprised by this game.

Earth Defense Force 2017 has been a lot of fun to play.  Reminds me of a few arcade games onthe 90's.

Dead Rising was a lot of fun as well.   Didn't know what to expect from it although frustrating at times and all but it creates a great atmosphere and it's fun being able to use anything to kill all the zombies.

Star Trek Legecy was surpriing fun for a Star Trek game.  I have enjoyed all the Star trek series and own most on DVD but most ST games are just horrible or completely unplayable but this one wasn't as bad.

The first game that comes to mind is Tomb Raider.  I rented it not expecting much really, but it turned out to be a fine game.

Jade Empire (Backwards Compatible).  It looked so awful in HD on the original Xbox that I hardly played it.  When I got a 360 and popped it in I was amazed at how much better it looked.  I ended up playing through the entire game.  I don't know of any other BC game that was improved as much as Jade Empire on 360.  Most of them look the same and some look worse.
