It was definitely an improvement over that Playstation attempt. "Hail to the King" was an abomination.. The following 2 Evil Dead movies (Regeneration and Fistful of Boomstick) were at least playable, though... I seem to recall a game killing bug in FoB? I remember i never beat that thing, and i can't quite recall why...JFuss said:
Yes! Damn it, that game handing me my posterior on a silver platter with watercress around it is a daily occurrence, but it's just awesome. Definitely the best in the series; they seemed to have fixed up a lot of the problems with the previous games, especially by adding the Feline companions, who are generally amusing as well as actually reducing the cliff-like difficulty somewhat.Syphonz said:
I'd also like to nominate Too Human, which seemed to get a lot of of stick because people didn't realise what it was, which was a hack-n-slash with technovikings. One of the camera options was to play the game in an isometric grid, which not only made it playable but immensely enjoyable. However, the default camera angle was awful and near-impossible to recognise as a console hack-n-slash. And this, along with a number of other minor flaws (the gorram death animation, for example), caused many to dismiss it out of hand. Which means that the sequels probably won't be made, which is a shame as this title had a lot of potential, and I would have liked to see a sequel with some of these issues cleaned up.
Probably the most under appreciated game in my mind would be the first Ninja Gaiden on xbox. You might think, ninja gaiden was fairly popular, well maybe amongst gamer-gamers, but on a wider scale i think it got lost and for the amount of fun and action it provided, it was under appreciated.
I?d have to say anything by Trokia games. Mostly 'Arcanum' and 'Vampyre Masquerade'.
Some other missed ones were 'Evil Genius', 'Deus Ex 2' was underrated heavily, and it wasn?t that much worse than the original.
Also the Oddworld series, mainly 'Oddworld: Strangers Wrath'

Battlefield 2142. Why was I the only guy before going on these fourms (and excluding the others who played the game online), I knew of who played it?
The Jak and Daxter Series
(I still have a preorder for Prey from EB games that I never cared to get)

de Blob. It was fun, colorful, had great music, the cutscenes were funny, and the combat felt great. Also, after the end credits it is revealed that the main villlan is on a small island with cute animals, who swarm him as he starts to scream.
There was this PS1 game called Azure Dreams that I always found to be a really enjoyable dungeon crawler that it seems no one has heard of. Explore the resetting tower with your animal/monster cohort, expanding your stable of cohorts and the townhouse you keep them in, wooing local girls at the same time shamelessly, eventually making the tower your *****. Good game.
Wasn't really unknown though. I saw quite a few commercials of it over a long period of time and a few of my friends wanted it. OK only one friend wanted it but still.Syphonz said:
