Sly Cooper is HORRIBLY underrated.
This 1000 times!, I jumped on the Sly Wagon pretty late, with the Collection for PS3, but wow did I have fun with those games. I know patiently await Sly 4.
Grew up playing the Sly Cooper games on a recommendation from a friend. That friend also wisely made me aware of the Jak and Daxter series, another greatly underrated series. Interestingly enough, the developers of both series are finding new successes with the inFamous and Uncharted series on the PS3, respectively, right now.
For a critically underrated game? I feel that, while the reception was a major difference between the two, Skate 3 was a vast improvement on the second despite getting the shorter end of the stick. Yes, the tricks stayed the same, but the change from a darker graphics filter (which did not help with my awful standard definition TV) to a brighter one definitely helped and I found the learning curve to be much more forgiving in the third installment, but that may be attributed to my evolution from a terrible Skate player to a more rounded player by the time it came out.
Also, I found the criticism for Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock to be a bit mean-spirited. In my opinion, the developers tried their best to work themselves out of the pit dug when World Tour (my least favorite of the series) came out and mostly succeeded. The difficulty curve spiked at the end and it was somewhat uninspired, but it was a fun, polished game to play for a while before I moved onto Rock Band 3, which it had the misfortune of competing with at that time. Plus, I loved the 2112 section of the game, which made me filled with with joy over the amount of much-deserved attention Rush was getting in a video game.
