I was wondering what you all thought was the most underrated XBOX 360 game? I think Crackdown is higly underrated. Most people overlooked it due to the Halo 3 beta being included but Crackdown was the most fun I've had with a game in a long time. I also think Just Cause is very underrated. Even though it has its share of problems, traversing a island 100x the size of San Andreas was amazing.Â
ill agree that Saints Row was underrated, but Dead Rising just didnt do anything for me when i played it at a friend's house. all i got out of it was endless hours of slashing zombies.
I played Crackdown and I was entertained for awhile. However, after a short period I found it too sandboxy. Too open ended not enough sidequests/missions to warrant it more than it's current rating if you will. The best part I found was playing with another person online and fighting each other. Very entertaining, but I wouldn't lose sleep not playing it ever again.
I enjoyed Quake 4. The gameplay wasn't revolutionary but overall I though it was good. I didn't have the terrible frame rate problems that I read about. I would have given it a 7.5.
With a gamespot score of 8.5 and an average user score of 8.2 I'd have to say The Darkness.
Yeh, it didn't re-invent the FPS genre but as an experience it's the finest I've had so far on the 360. Adult story, humour, violence, superb voice acting and in 1080P it looks as heavenly as Salma Hayek in From Dusk Till Dawn. (well almost)
i agree with saints row, but i think dead rising is also very underated just because of one problem (the save system)SaintsRowSam
Same here, and I think it's a problem you can get through, it's hard at the beggining (I started the game 5 times in a row :P) but it's not that annoying once you get used to it.

Yeah, I just got the game a couple days back because I played it at a friend's house, definitely a great experience, and it does introduce some relatively unique elements... demon powers, anyone?
I think Phantasy Star Universe was heavily underplayed, at least by the critics. Getting only "fair" reviews, it really gave the playesrs a very well rounded, in depth RPG experience. It was scaled down enough to appeal to those unfamiliar with the greatness of PSO, however much of the game, especially the network play, remained faithful to the dungeon monster killing fests and special item/weapon hunts that really made PSO so much fun in the first place... besides, this game actually HAD a story, where as it's at the very least arguable that PSO even had one lol. Don't get me wrong though, PSO will forever remain the king of the Phantasy Star series, but I think that Phantasy Star Universe got undercut when it really deserved a little bit more limelight than it got. :D
I would have to say Vampire Rain, A lot of people made up their minds about it before they even got to get into the game. Even by reading gamespots review I can tell they did not play past the 6th Mission. Alot of people thought it was just avoiding the Vampires but there are a lot of missions where you get some stronger weapons and have to take them out. There was also 5 good boss battles. None of this was mentioned in Gamespots review.The gamejust starts off very slow.
[QUOTE="SaintsRowSam"]i agree with saints row, but i think dead rising is also very underated just because of one problem (the save system)murat8
I was thinking about getting that game whats wrong with the save system I want to know before I buy it?
it's actually just people nitpicking about the game.
the whole game makes you manage time and make decisions... do you go save this person or investigate that thing? doyou go escort someone or you restock weapons? do you look for helth items or do the next mission...?
but all of a sudden when you put in "save" against any of these choices... the save system is terrible
anyways the most underrated game i played was Condemned. easily one of the best launch titles.
dead rising is underrated. why do people complain about the save system it wouldnt be challenging if you could save whenever you want, i think only being able to save in the security room and bathrooms is fine, they have 3 or 4 bathrooms so it shouldnt be difficult to get to a save point
first game i thought was saint row too, damn that game is good
and i dont know if condemned sold well but it seems to be an underated game =/Nasukashi
I Agree on both here. I just traded in a bunch of stuff and had $20 left after paying off madden and gta so i figured i give condemed a shot. Best $17 game i've ever played.
