underrated games

[rag rappi]

Man, My roomate just rented soul reaver 2, and it rekindled a lot of old memories for me ( alot of things changes changed with me since then).
I played the first and second ones, and I think they are both really great. They have (I think) the best voice acting in like, any game, and its well written. The story is really good too, and now I have to get the last one with Kain and Rezial in it.

any more games, people?

[Zabur]

ICO

that's all I can think...

YES!

I love both games (and Blood Omen, and Defiance), but a lot of people seem to have ignored them. I don't think the gameplay in any of them is particularly great, but the story throughout the games are really great. I'm glad they finally decided to tie up the story in Defiance, though I hope they do something with the characters again.

Beyond Good and Evil is pretty underrated, and got ignored. I don't see how, becuase it was such a great looking game with an interesting story and good voice acting (for the most part. And most importantly, it was fun.

Can't think of any others right now off the top of my head.

[MaDPoWer]

Guardian Heroes- Not such much underated as it is unknown since only a handfull of people have played the Sega Saturn classic. If it was re-released it'd be a hit.

--------------------------------
The ones in bold are the ones I agree with. I actually laughed out loud when I read SW: Bounty Hunter cause that was the first game I could think of when I read the thread title. That and ICO.

Haha, SW:Bounty Hunter... That game rocked. I loved the main villain/last boss.

*EDIT* I'm also gonna go ahead and throw Sunset Riders on there.

[Krasnoznamonec]

Codename Eagle.

[the shining]

Gem fire. I played that game several months ago. I played for just about 7 hours. for a SNES game, It was one of the coolest games I have ever played.
Also, Tales Of Symphonia. (I mention this one all the time. Sorry.)

[mofo09]

im not sure if its underrated but baldures gate is an amazing game

[Bloodstar]

Beyond Good and Evil is pretty underrated, and got ignored. I don't see how, becuase it was such a great looking game with an interesting story and good voice acting (for the most part. And most importantly, it was fun. I just got it a month ago because people kept saying how good it is. I'm not sure if I can agree so far though. I've only started though so I'll leave judgement until I've at least gotten through a good portion of the game.

[Lexar]

A lot of N64 games are underrated, only because they were on the N64. For example san francisco rush, or body harvest or even hybrid heaven. those are some really awesome games on the big N that really not that many people know about. Ogre battle 64 is sadly enough the best known game from the ogre battle saga, and even that one is far underrated, not to mention the rest of those games.

Now bear with me for a minute, daikatana is a pretty bad game, let's be honest here, but it's not THAT bad. It's like the scapegoat of fps games, but it's actually a mediocre game. The thing is they made it out to be the greatest ever, so in that sense it's underrated.

An underrated game for the snes I can think of is terranigma. Really awesome and gripping game. Lufia 2 is also really great but was released in the last days of the snes so never really had that much media attention or popularity.

[bigyellowlegoman]

A lot of N64 games are underrated, only because they were on the N64. For example san francisco rush, or body harvest or even hybrid heaven. those are some really awesome games on the big N that really not that many people know about.

Body Harvest was ****in' awsome. It was basically GTA with bug-eyed freaks instead of, well, people. Actually there were people, faceless ones who you had to save, but it was much more fun seeing them being carried away by big jellies. Brilliant stuff!

[Hiltz]

Although, I dislike Mace: The Dark Age it was like the first "Soul Calibur" using weapons and it actually made use of its background arenas unlike games like Mortal Kombat at the time where you were only allowed so much room to fight in. I loved the Arabian level with the quick sand.

The worse thing about the game the difficulty setting. Easy mode was ridiculously difficult to defeat everyone past the character Ragnorak. The graphics and fighting system weren't that good from what I can recall. The secret character War Mech, was cool.

Gauntlet Legends was a great multiplayer game. Man, this game had some of the most far out long lasting glitches. I miss games like this where you and up to 4 players can play together instead of being restricted to some multiplayer mode in other games where you are only able to fight each other. The secret character swere so bad ass. Anubis the sorceror and the Minotaur the babarian.

Phalanx for gameboy advance was one of those space shooters where you ship could transform into a giant weapon. I owned this and Gradius Galaxies and Phalanx seemed better.

I bought a used copy of SW: Bounty Hunter and it was pretty fun. I resoled it so I could get some extra money to help buy Soul Calibur 2.

[Lexar]

Carmageddon! That game rocked so hard, even by todays standards it's great fun in lan parties.

[Vava2109]

C&C renegade, the game's graphics will look somewhat dated today(compared to HALFLIFE2) but its still a fun shooter nonetheless, basicly your a commando(they always choose a buff guy, WHY!???!!) and you kill Nod

I didnt like the game though for A: when enemy got to close there was no physical attack B: No Ragdoll Physics(so if you got ran over head on, you'd somehow fall foreward) but aside from those downs, its a fun online game.(this is long winded i know)

[hezzart]

Frontmission, the whole franchise is in my eyes very underrated.

[Vava2109]

oh, very good there, i didnt even think of that one. FM is awesome

[Cian]

Beyond Good & Evil, what a game and I dont even like platformers!

[FigureFour]

Also, Tales Of Symphonia. (I mention this one all the time. Sorry.)
Actually, before it's release Tales of Symphonia was OVERHYPED. Hell, I was one of the people overhyping it.

It's really just a mediocre RPG. I mean, there's nothing bad about it, and the graphics are beautiful, but it only gets what little praise it gets because there aren't really any other RPGS for the Gamecube.


Also, I thought Gauntlet Ledgents was pretty dull and repetitive.

Just about every other game mentioned here is awesome though.

[Shou]

Although, I dislike Mace: The Dark Age it was like the first "Soul Calibur"
Soul Edge came out 2 years before Mace

[bigyellowlegoman]

Soul Edge came out 2 years before Mace


I actually remember seeing a game being played on some show, I forget what the game was called, but it had similar graphics to street fighter (2D), and the characters were all using weapons, swords and staffs and the like. It looked very cool, and I'm guessing it came out before Soul Edge, tho I'm just going by the graphics.

(Soul Edge was 3D, right? I don't really remember it too well...)

[Alucard1515]

I don't remember what it was called, but I do remember the game. I don't think that's really important, because it's not that brilliant of an idea to make a game where you fight with weapons.

[FigureFour]

Oh snap!

This post was in reference to Shou's post. It doesn't make much sense now that it's not imediatly afterwords.

I blame my computer.

[Shou]

yes soul edge is 3d, I think it was the first fighting game to have 8way walk. It goes: Soul Edge, Soul EdgeB, Soul Blade (psx), Soul Calibur, Soul Calibur 2. Samurai Shodown was probably the 2d game youre thinking of with weapons, by SNK/neo geo.

[Hiltz]

My mistake.

[Lexar]

An other N64 title that comes to mind is blast corps. One heck of an adrenaline ride against the meltdown clock. The idea behind the game and the playability of it make it really unique and an other testament of what the N64 could have added for gaming industry scale if it had really picked up more.

[Bloodstar]

San Francisco Rush was an awesome game.

[Lexar]

yes. Yes it was. And rush 2 was also excellent, in fact even slightly more so. But it's the type of game you either love or hate. Guess that's why it never really got mainstream attention.

[Shou]

I dont know what you guys are talking about, SFRush was one of the most popular arcade games ever (assuming the arcade could afford it, it was big and expensive like daytona usa). It was also pretty popular on n64, but it wasnt nearly as good as the arcade version. The sequels never really took off since they didnt get a lot of placement in arcades (they were probably still making payments on the first one and couldnt afford another) but the first one was insanely popular.

[Lexar]

But do we ever hear people talking about it?

[Bloodstar]

I was just saying it was a good game.

[FigureFour]

But do we ever hear people talking about it?
You did when it was new. Everyone I know played that game.

Those games aren't under rated, they just aren't classics so no one cares anymore.

[Lexar]

Not around here. Rush got some pretty bad reviews and passed quite quietly without that many sales either.

[Cruiser18]

There was this great classic. Die By the Sword. Man that was fun. The special part about that game was that the sword swings was controlled by the movenment of the mouse down to the slightest movement.
The fun just wouldn't stop when you fired that game up over Lan's.

Another game series I think is too underestimated (seen as to how many who know it) is Mechwarrior. Robot action hardly get any better, and it's not like it's a simulator to get into. Just too bad that Microsoft is aiming the series at X-box with a very arcade gameplay, compared to the more tactical PC versions.

I want a mechwarrior 5 plz :)

[The Bran Eating Zombie]

I loved the pc ones, not a fan of the xbox one.

Also I would have to nominate the Myth games, The Fallen Lords, Soulblighter and The Wolf Age. ****ing incredible rts games, the best I've ever seen in terms of stratiigy. Incredible story, it was definetly the first time I was amazed by a games story, and the music was just too good, it was the first soundtrack I ever got a copy of. Everything about those games were just so good. Everyone should play them. But it seems like I've never met anyone else who played them.

[bigyellowlegoman]

Anyone here remember Diddy Kong Racing on the N64? That was ****in' class. It was so much fun and was as much an adventure game as a racer. Kickass multiplayer also!

[Vava2109]

Diddy kong racing wasnt very good, just a mario kart knockoff.

Good RTS's are any C&C game. Tiberium Sun was the best.

[mercenary]

I don't know if anyone played FireEmblem(GBA). That game was good, but it didn't hit it high over here in America, like it did in Japan.

[Shou]

Not around here. Rush got some pretty bad reviews and passed quite quietly without that many sales either.
I just noticed you lived in europe, so ya maybe it was underrated there, but in america it was one of the most popular arcade games in history, it was also really popular once it came to n64 because of its arcade success.

[bigyellowlegoman]

Diddy kong racing wasnt very good, just a mario kart knockoff.

Did you happen to play it?

[Hiltz]

All those games were mere spin offs of mario kart and not as fun in my opinion.

[Shou]

diddy kong racing wasnt very good, mainly because it went at such a slow speed. The only thing I liked about the game was the mario64 style level selector but the races put me to sleep.

[bigyellowlegoman]

Mario Kart 64 was in my opinion, a disappointment, Diddy Kong racing introduced hovercrafts and planes as well as Karts, special mission objectives, intense boss battles, a whole island to explore. IMO, twas way better than MK 64.

Although Super Mario Kart on the Snes remains one of the greatest games of all time, and anyone who argues against that should be shot, drowned, decapitated and spanked.

More underrated games? Emporer: Rise of the Middle Kingdom, can be boring for Warcraft lovers, but this game is great, I'm tellin' ya, you won't notice the days go by.

[Vava2109]

accually yesh, yesh i have

EDIT: to playing Diddy kong racing

[Lexar]

I'm still waiting for some kid to say halo was underrated :P

[OniCloud]

I think someone mentioned Ico earlier. I just wanna know what the **** that game is about. I have a demo of it but all I know from the demo is I start out by falling out of some coffin statue thing, I meet up with some weird girl, I don't speak english, I'm in some kind of castle, I have a 4x4(or a 2x4 I think) for a weapon, my hat or bandana or my head has horns, i fight shadow things, and at the end of the demo were running out of the place but the gate closes on us and then the shadow things come and take the girl away. Tuff luck for the guy I guess but that's all I was left on. I remember someone praising the game once but I never actually got into it. So is it a good game or what? I probably should've posted this elsewhere lol, oh well it's 2 in the mornin and I'm half awake.

.... now where's teh kid who'll ask if halo's an underated game..

[The Bran Eating Zombie]

Ico was an incredible puzzle game. If you like games and aren't stupid, you'll love it.

[Cian]

If only I could find a copy.

[hezzart]

I'm still waiting for some kid to say halo was underrated :P

oh yeah, totally true. Halo was REALLY underrated

Another game i really liked (still like actually) was Ray-crisis on PS1. I've seen it alot in asian arcades aswell. Oh god, this is bringing back memories of old scroll shooters... of which ive forgotten every name (T_T)

I know of one which was Raiden, i had that one on our old DOS.

[FigureFour]

Mario Kart 64 was in my opinion, a disappointment, Diddy Kong racing introduced hovercrafts and planes as well as Karts, special mission objectives, intense boss battles, a whole island to explore. IMO, twas way better than MK 64.
I'm sorry but your opinion is wrong.

Anyway, I'd like to add Valkyrie Profile to this list. THAT was a ****ing awesome game.

Have any of you ignorant bastards even heard of it?

[Shou]

ico is about a boy who is sacrificed by the village because he has horns, so they put him in that tomb thing. The girl is a princess who cant leave the castle because of the queen. Theres barely any dialouge in the game (and some of it is in a different language you cant read untill the 2nd time playing) but its one of the only games that doesnt need dialouge in order enjoy the story. Ico is still the best puzzle/platform game, way better than prince of persia, and despite it being so old the graphics arent dated with an interesting camera system that always seems to work (but a first person mode would help at times)

[tzuge]

Emperor: rise of the middle kingdom was a step backwards from Pharaoh and Zeus: master of olympus. If you like Emperor, try one of the other two.

Valkyrie Profile is an awesome game.

Sea Dogs is a pretty fun game with a really weird difficulty curve. It starts off incredibly hard and sort of gets easier as you go...

Z is also quite a fun game which went pretty unnoticed.

Transport Tycoon is one of my all time favorite games and I don't think that many people know about it.

[Alucard1515]

Ico is still the best puzzle/platform game, way better than prince of persia, and despite it being so old the graphics arent dated with an interesting camera system that always seems to work (but a first person mode would help at times)
I disagre.
I liked the game a lot, but I think Prince of Persia was much better (aside from the annoying ass fighting). It took a lot of things from Ico and took them to the next level. It was a lot more fluid and fun in my opinion.

But PoP was building on what Ico already did (and I played PoP first), so you have to give Ico credit for that. I also don't think the graphics are really that impressive. I like the style, but at times the game looks kind of bland. There's like one texture for the castle, and often times everything looks really similar. I don't think it looks bad, but it's definitely not one of the best looking games I've seen.

As I said, I like the game, I just think that it's actually a little overrated. However, I am looking forward to Shadow of the Colossus, and the graphics in that game look a LOT better than in Ico. It's got the same great style, but it looks much better graphically.

[Shou]

I didnt like the level design in POP nearly as much as ico, I thought it was amazing how they made the castle and how it made you feel so small. The way they made the platforming also felt like it all made sense in a realistic way thats hard to explain (there were a few expceptions that had to be made for puzzles of course like pressure switches and out-of-the-way levers), in POP I didnt get that at all since I was doing so much swinging and jumping using crap that would never be there (like balconies all over the place in convienient positions, or saw blades 50 ft off the ground on the side of a wall). I wasnt much of a fan of the POP art style so I was never really wowed by any of the levels, I thought the only thing it had going for it was the particle effects which made stuff glow and look cool. And the camera getting blocked by walls all the time was frustrating, I really liked ico's camera since it was prepositioned and only moved where you needed it. I didnt think ico was perfect though, fighting the spirit things with that damn stick was pretty stupid and took forever, if you got the mace soon after the sword then the fights arent a problem anymore. Its also really short compared to POP and at times the girl is dumb as a brick, Fara or whatever her name is from POP was actually nice to have around.

[Wyrmslayer]

Except when she shot you.

I have heard of Valkyrie Profile, never was able to get a copy.

Sometimes not being in the states sucks, we dont have any awesome stores here, no Gamestops or anything like that. Just crappy old EB.

[bigyellowlegoman]

FigureFour: No it isn't.

tzuge: Yeah, Zeus was great, the gods had way more charm than Emperor's 'Heroes'.
Great game.

As for Ico, I have a copy, but it's NTSC while I have a PAL PS2. I couldn't be arsed getting it chipped so I'll just have to wait and see what happens, I'm not really bothered though.

[The Bran Eating Zombie]

No, he's right, it is.

[bigyellowlegoman]

No, he's right, it is.

No, it isn't.

[hezzart]

No, it isn't.

Dont take anything FF says seriously, he lives in a world where his opinions somehow are facts...

[Jeanox]

Tetris. It is impossible to overrate tetris.

[Bloodstar]

Even though its the most popular puzzle game ever?

[Snowfox]

I would say Doom 3 was underrated, but only because I go to this board. I still think it was a better all-around game than Halo 2 or HL 2.

The only big one I can think of is from like, 1992, called The Summoning. Basically a Ultima game, but just way better, with an intricate storyline and interaction with tons of NPCs.

[Shou]

I thought doom3 was underrated by gamespot but I dont think its all that good, its not as bad as some reviewers make it out to be though

I think farcry is underrated by the public, game sites love it but a lot of people ignore it when compared to hl2/doom3/halo

[Alucard1515]

Yeah, Far Cry was awesome, but didn't make as big an impact as it should have, I think.

I honestly think it's a better game in some ways than either Doom 3 or Half Life 2. Not that either of those games are bad, but Far Cry really challenged me and made me want to replay certain areas so that I could try different tactics.

[Snowfox]

I'm in complete agreement, Far Cry got the major shaft because of all the hype from the other three.

I probably actually ended up having more fun playing through that than either Halo or Half-Life 2 in general.

You know, I only enjoyed Guantlent Legends with other people, and that's it. Really, the gameplay blew, but since I spent most of the time laughing, it was alright.

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter? ??? It's like Minority Report meets Star Wars. Whole lotta' suck in there, son.

Also, I could not, for the life of me, get into Jet Force Gemini. Killing giant bugs in space just doesn't appeal to me - unless it's a movie with awesome explosions, tits, and sex.

Heathen! She has spoken ill of our holiness, HL2!

!!!

*faints from the heresy*

:P

Anyway, games that I thought were underrated were:

- Painkiller (w00t)
- Sonic Heroes (**** you)
- Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX version, zomq the storyline - oh yeah, two weeks straight of nothing but sitting in my room, playing the game with a shitty controller, and not showering - all, ****ing, day - I was void of a life)
- Harvest Moon 64 (if you don't like this, well then, aren't you something)
- Harvest Moon Back To Nature (better than HM64, but the load times, OH GOD THE LOAD TIMES!!! - and the squeaky feet? wtf?)
- The Legend Of Zelda The Windwaker (seriously, even though it got good ratings, not a lot of people payed attention to this - not enough, anyway)
- Metroid Prime (good god what a game - a week without showering says a lot - everybody who hates this, well *shakesfist*)

That's all that comes to mind right now, anyway.

[bigyellowlegoman]

Drevay, you're a very smelly dude.

[McGarnacle]

I agree that metroid prime was good, and I thought it was underrated to from the magazine articles I read...another one, on gamecube, which was called Ikaruga... never heard of it anywhere here but it's great.
I liked battle toshinden series even though few people do... I was young when I played it but from memory I liked unlocking the characters/special moves etc.

[IAP]

Scorched Earth. the game call ittself "The mother of all games", and I thionk it really is that.

Hours of fun. Even more then all the blizzard SomethingCraft games (Who are not underrated, so I don't think they worth mentioning here....)

[meerkat]

Far Cry wasnt popular in U.S & Europe?
Well It was really popular here in Turkey (because alot of the developers were Turkish)
in my opinion Farcry is alot better than most other Hyped FPS games out there

[The Bran Eating Zombie]

Far Cry was great, unfortuently I didn't get to play too much of it, because I didn't have a computer that could run it, I just played at peoples houses.

[Yeef]

Both Ico and PoP bows to the greatness of Out of This World.

[Tanalius]

Grandia was a great game that we dont hear to much about.

[The Bran Eating Zombie]

FF should be here to talk about Grandia. Just yesterday he was talking about how much those games sucked, and had the worst art direction he's ever seen, to the point where the color choice hurt his eyes to look at.

[Alucard1515]

Both Ico and PoP bows to the greatness of Out of This World.
I loved that game, but they screwed up by making so many parts of the game involve insanely perfect timing to defeat the enemies instead of focusing on the great puzzles. I liked having to figure things out, not having to charge up my shields just right so that enemies from both sides couldn't shoot me.

- The Legend Of Zelda The Windwaker (seriously, even though it got good ratings, not a lot of people payed attention to this - not enough, anyway)
- Metroid Prime (good god what a game - a week without showering says a lot - everybody who hates this, well *shakesfist*)
Are you on crack? Those games are not underrated. They got near perfect scores all around, and they were both on many sites', magazines', and tv show's game of the year lists. And for Gamecube games, they even sold well.

[Yeef]

I thought Out of This World did a good job of balancing puzzles and action, but what made it stand out most for me was the setting and the storytelling. Especially since back in those days stories in games were virtually non-existant.

[Alucard1515]

I did like it, and I don't mind mixing action and puzzle solving, but the way you had to use the gun was frustrating. When you got surrounded by two enemies, it was more about reflexes and timing than it was about problem solving. You had to time charging the gun just right to keep two shields active AND be able to actually break through the enemy shields and hit them.

[FigureFour]

Grandia was a great game that we dont hear to much about.
Grandia was garbage. Every monster, level and character was coloured in a way that made my eyes hurt. The characters were all anoying and their voice actors were even MORE anoying. The plot seemed to be that some kid liked to go exploring.

EVERYTHING about it sucked.
EVERYTHING.

[Wyrmslayer]

Ai Karu Ba!

Never got into the game, only got into the cage with the giant gorilla and kept dying cause the gun is so hard to use.

[Yeef]

The plot seemed to be that some kid liked to go exploring.I never played the first one, but Grandia 2 was basically "organized religion is evil."

[Negafen]

Tribes, Tribes 2, Tribes Vengeance, Giants : Citizen Kabuto (on pc)...

I remember on the old PK I had said I was the king of Tribes, and 3-4 pkers challenged me, and I trounced them.. utterly.

Good times.

(seriously, I'm the ****ing king of Tribes)

[Snowfox]

I was number 3 on clq for months back when Tribes was new. I'd love to duel you any mod sometime. And I'm talking about ren mod (back when it was actually for the good players and not the shit it is now) in scout, the other two higher than me were spawn camping heavies in my clan.

I don't think T2 and TV were underrated either, they sucked compared to the original...

[oringe]

ive got a sweet spot in my heart for Gun Valkyrie. The controls were a little difficult to get the hang of, but i dont think it was nearly as hard as some of the reviews made it out to be. it helps to have a controller that has a nice click in the joystick though, to make the strafing that much easier. but i also thought that was part of the fun of it, the challenge of just being able to circle strafe so you can power up.

and mischeif makers on N64 was some pretty crazy sidescrolling fun. i dont know anybody who played that one.

[Negafen]

TV gets the feel of 1 back.

Were you one of the people I whooped back in the day?

I was in RG (run and gun) back in the ladder days. I was one of the original two people who were referred to as "chain whores". Only one person could consistently best me in a duel (the other chain whore of course.. what was his name god damnit...). I went smurf towards the end of Tribes 1s run.

The only mod I played was ping-pong mod. It was the same as base, except all the armours had less life, a sniper shot to the face killed. Thanks to playing that mod (it always seemed to be stuck on dangerous crossing) I'm also a perfect shot with the sniper rifle now. Too bad TV doesn't have the reverse snipe script...

Having not played for about a year I bought T:V and the first match I played I got 20 kills in 40 minutes, 30 style points, and didn't die once :)

And if all that sounded like bragging, it was. I got tribes 1 the day it came out, I played it until tribes 2 came out, I played it until it sort of died, then I couldn't play T:V until I got a better pc.

I can outski everyone but warnipple, I am tied as the top duelist, I was the best improv route capper. I have other accomplishments for Tribes 2, but sounds like you weren't big on it.

I am the King of Tribes.


Tribes 1 was the best though, except for that the stupid woman armour could jump further, and was harder to snipe. You'd think the ladder was populated entirely by women.

[Snowfox]

I was "Jinx" or "Snowfox". I was on the number one Purg clan for a while [P] Purgatory. Fun days...

I wish more people played Tribes base and ren. Back in the day when I actually was trying to be the best I could midair disk people left and right, sigh.

Then I got stuck on Starsiege Craft mod because it was pretty refreshing, lost most of my base/ren skill.

[Vava2109]

AoE 1 and 2, im not sure if they were underrated, but they were freakin awesome. Nice RTS games, and the online feature was nice as well.(Hoards ofelephants...destroyed....everything*weeps*)

AoE 3 is supposed to be like the best RTS to come out...Insane 3d graphics...but thats probably going to be overrated if i keep raving on about it...

(Age of Empires for any noobs out there)

[The Bran Eating Zombie]

AoE was not underrated at all. They were both insanly popular. I don't know anyone who plays rts games who hasn't at least tried AoE.

[Vava2109]

True, so true, i was never into AoE when it first came out, so i never knew how popular it was, a friend showed it to me and i got hooked, buying AoE2 gold pack(game and expansion) i think about a year and a half to two years later. So i never really knew if they were insanely popular, but oh well now i know. Yay

[FigureFour]

I would go so far as to say that AoE was over rated.

Of course, I'm not saying it's bad, but it's not as good as some people think.

[Snowfox]

I think it was underrated if anything. That was the only RTS I played more than the original C&C.

[Negafen]

Speaking of RTS, Total Annihilation was extremely underrated.

I've seen Total Annihilation rated as the greatest RTS ever... so I wouldn't call it underrated. It is a great game that's still worth playing now even if the graphics are pretty dated. Actually, aren't they finally making a true sequel?

It's really too bad Cavedog had to go and make TA: Kingdoms after TA and then go under so fast.

Actually I think Kingdoms was very underrated..

I actually retried TA: Kingdoms maybe 1 or 2 years ago cause I thought maybe it's a lot better than my original impression... and no it's not... it's just not good. Where TA was innovative and viceral, TA Kingdoms was BLEH. It also runs horribly on like any hardware.
