most under rated game you've ever played

[das müffin mann]

im interested in the most underrated game that you've ever played
for my it would have to be
the chronicle's of Riddick escape from butcher bay, i was playing through it again a little bit today and even by todays standards its a great game, which got me thinking this game just kinda died out and it made me wonder what else i missed out on

so post you favorite under rated game

[ktr]

Red Orchestra, fantastic WW2 online fps...just didnt get much attention.

[GLD]

My pick would have to be the hack and slash Severance: Blade of Darkness, by Codemasters. You can slice up you foes and then beat them down with their own body parts in their pool of blood. EXCELLENT! :D

[oli_ramsay]

Probably the most addictive/challenging game I've ever played.

http://www.harveycartel.org/metanet/n_v1pc.zip

It's a 3 button game but it's soooo much fun.

[Shizelbs]

Maybe Two Worlds?.... its not that great of a game, but it got generally terrible reviews, and its actually a decent alternative to Oblivion.

[ShadowFold]

Probly Hellgate. No one likes that game and it got terrible reviews. Its GOTY for me next to CoD4

[SK-1]

Klingon Academy

[Corrosion]

Red Orchestra, fantastic WW2 online fps...just didnt get much attention.

I second that!

[InfDamarvel]

UMmm James Bond Night fire. Not sure of it popularity but it was some random game I picked up at some anime shop one day. Was looking for a goldeneye remake back in the day.

[Ravenas]

Dark Age of Camelot (every expansion also).

I mean hell, who do you think coined the term battlegrounds? Furthermore, the people who invented and created the concept (and not to mention brought it to reality).

Also, Uncharted Drakes Fortune.

[Darknova]

Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines.

Upon release it was hammered because it was riddled with bugs. It uses a very unoptimised Source Engine, however the story is still one of the best to date. It has awesome replayability (must have replayed it about 10 times by now), and it is still being developed by the community (Unofficial patches and the like).

Community has been great with that game even though the publisher and such gave in so early.


Condemned is my pick. Thinking about it a few F1 2002 SBK Superbike 2001 ( new version soon :) :) ). Gunship and Longbow.

Ditto on that. The free preview weekend did me in... I was like... this is FANTASTIC! The bolt action is fun cause you have to click to put the bolt into position.

I re-downloaded it, but when i run the game, in 30secs in the menu, my whole computer locks up. :cry:

It does not like any OC i have.... even if it is an underclock... try that.

[fafa21]

war rock every one says it sucks but it's really not that bad and it's really fun for a free game

[ktr]

It does not like any OC i have.... even if it is an underclock... try that.

I have no OC, i gonna re-re-download and see.

[Ketxxx]

Vampire: The masquerade bloodlines. The game is very decent as a whole and the combat system is very diverse.

[das müffin mann]

i think i may have to check out bloodlines, from what people have been saying its worth the time

[Ketxxx]

Yup it is a great game. It suffers from bugs but there are unofficial patches which fix a huge chunk of them. Theres probably some really cool mods for the game as well.

[Nitro-Max]

Strip poker when the girl chickens out :) very underated

[EviLZeD]

i bought re orchestra and vampire masquerade on steam for cheap they are well worth it awesome games

[DanTheBanjoman]

I'm currently playing Uprising again on my laptop. Thought of it for some reason and decided to play again. Amazing game it be.

[Ketxxx]

Whats that like? I only know the version where the girl doesnt chicken out :p

[happita]

Vampire: The masquerade bloodlines. The game is very decent as a whole and the combat system is very diverse.

Game is awesome, it will be WELL worth anyones time since the replayability is through the roof.
Another kind of old school game during the half-life era that was quite overlooked was the Thief-series games. Thief 1 (best story out of series), Thief 2, Thief: Deadly Shadows (decent, came out around deus ex 2 with a more modified engine)

[btarunr]

Counter Strike: Condition Zero - Deleted Scenes
Doom 3

[ktr]

So i got red orchestra working, and there are plenty of servers, but no peeps in low ping servers. Seems like people in Europe like this game.

[das müffin mann]

is red orchestra multiplayer only?

[ktr]

is red orchestra multiplayer only?

pretty much.

[xfire]

Lord of the Rings-Battle for Middle Eath II. It got me more into RTS than AOE or Warcraft. Great Graphics and fire power.
Also Gunz online Third person shooter MMO. Got me through the summer. Especially great when you use swords. Anime fans will like it.

[happita]

OH, I forgot another game. Probably the most fun I've ever had out of a game...Serious Sam and Serious Sam: The Second Encounter.
You definitely have to play with someone you know in co-op mode to fully experience just how dam fun both games are.

[imperialreign]

A bit old:

Requiem: Avenging Angel
Populous: The Beginning
Dungeon Keeper 2

BF2142 :o

Thinking about it, BF:V was underrated...but i liked it.

we just played that coop at a lan two weeks ago. 8 player coop really does make it damned fun.

[Triprift]

Sam and max season 1 ftw :rockout:

[ktr]

Now i remember the MOST UNDER RATED GAME....

http://www.artofwarcentral.com/images/games/Tvbox.jpg

This was a fantastic game...but was released like one week before HL2, and during that time when Vivendi Universal was having a fight with Valve.

[Kreij]

Minesweeper.

Stupid addictive aggrevating must try again game.
:roll:

I think I have played it a jillion times when waiting for a download or some other process to finish where I've only had a minute or two.

[xfire]

Haha I used to play the hell outta gunz :laugh: I was more of a gunner tho, I did like the dual blades tho
It really was addictive. Went to level 31 but then it stared to get boring. I liked the stuff we could do with the sword(Climbing wall etc).

Even I forgot Serious Sam 2. If the gameplay doesn't get you the comedy will.

some of the random levels take on a new meaning in coop as well. One of them is a... well its some kinda of TV show game where you get in a spiked ball and jump through hoops on fire. Yes, its an FPS game with oddness.

on your own, its challening - in MP you have your buddies backing you up... and bashing you out of the way to get there first. it realy changes the game WITHOUT ruining it, as some games would be by so many players.

HELL YEA :rockout: I was a HUGE tribes fan!

[btarunr]

Did anyone at all hear about "Tanaka 3D" ?

That came out in somewhere 1999, used DX7,

The MOST Underrated game I played

[jurrasstoil]

Most of the good games i played got the attentions and ratings they deserved :D

But, I got one:

Stubbs the Zombie

http://www.macobserver.com/article/2005/09/stubbs.jpg

The gameplay was sometimes meh, but the soundtrack, overall style and pitchblack humor just made it a nice game. Near the end it got a bit repetitive, but oh well, what doesn't.

Gunz. I've played it. In international gunz, I was level 50. I gave away a level 35 to some random person, and had about 5 level 20+ characters...

North American gunz was cool until they added that gay narriration shit. And it was gay. Not like unreal tournament narriation at all...

[jagjitnatt]

The most underrated game in my view is Still Life. Mann you've got to play that game.
The graphics were awesome, sound fantastic and the best part was the storyline.
The story keeps you glued to the monitor for hours and hours till you finish the game off.
A must try for every gamer out there.
And a must must play for adventure fans. Go out and download the demo NOW.

[Grings]

Thinking about it, BF:V was underrated...but i liked it.

wow, i thought i was the only person on the planet who liked nam

and i liked 2142 more than bf2

[ShadowFold]

and I liked 2142 more than bf2

:eek:

[das müffin mann]

i just got blood lines and i must say so far i am enjoying it very much

[imperialreign]

Dune: The Building of a Dynasty

[ShadowFold]

Big Rigs Over the Road Racing is an amazing comedy game, got terrible reviews tho.

[devguy]

In my mind, no question: Sudeki for the Xbox. A brilliant RPG that took a long time to come out, and when it did, no one cared (except me!)

You can shred enemies who arent in the spike ball and watch blood fly all around you. Have you tried the parrot bombs? They are the best.:rockout:

i second that, Sudeki was an amazing rpg and quite unique

[PrudentPrincess]

I have to say The Neverhood. The story and animation was so amazing games now just can't compare creatively. Whoever thought of making an entire game with claymation was a genius.

[das müffin mann]

i found Sudeki at blockbuster in one of their bargain bins a while back, i loved it it passed the time while my leg was broken and it was very unique, fun game

[GSG-9]

COR
Counter Strike: Condition Zero - Deleted Scenes

[CH33T03S]

I am going with Two Worlds. I enjoyed that game and am glad I didnt listen to the reviews.

[happita]

1 last game I want to mention. Worms Armageddon :D

[Solaris17]

mahjong titans those of you on vista may know what im talking about...its actually kinda tough but you always want to play and you always have the wait i can figure this out attitude.

[Silverel]

i found Sudeki at blockbuster in one of their bargain bins a while back, i loved it it passed the time while my leg was broken and it was very unique, fun game

I'm thinkin Sudeki might have been a better game than most though. I got it from a local game shop for 4 bucks, excellent. Put 20 hours in it, and it's still a twisting mess of storyline. A little corny and stereotypical on the voice-acting, but good. The 1v1 Boss Battles are great... if you can figure out what character is targeted beforehand.

Oh, and the grunting, when the chicks climb up walls and ladders... omg... yeaaah.

Sudeki is +1 in my book.

[KieranD]

There are a couple of games i really liked no one else seemed to bother about.

Serious Sam (all of em) really fun games just pure frag and even his cheesy one liners that attempted to be like Duke Nukem i enjoyed disgracefully. I tend to think of Sam as a cousin of Duke for some reason or other. It had good weapons and vehicles were useful, had a decent story and was structured in a way that it was difficult at times but not in the annoying cant do this way.

NOX this was a seriously addictive RPG, i mean come on you can go a warroir who is minted with weapons and armour, a conjurer who can spell a bear and is medium with armour is great with bows or a wizard who sucks at everything excpet is dino with spells that are sometimes better than warrior or conjurer attacks. Had an excellent story with a good difficulty curve, not bad 2d graphics and was fun to play. Bad online but no one back then had internet near me and i had dial up.

Galactic civilizations 2 i mean man for a rip off of the mighty civilization it was pretty addictive i even still play it. Had good units and was changeable to suit every difficulty, the storyline was crappy but turn based campaigns usually arnt that good.

Medieval Total War 2 well i know it got good reviews but not that many picked it up im sure, most people just said it was like Rome Total War but with new units well damn it Rome Total War done in Medieval was great had me gripped trying to get a good army and defend my cities at the same time. It was interesting that you moved your units around and then zoomed to the battlefield, it was historically accurate and had meaty graphics for such a large game.

Ground Control 2 hmmmn really enjoyed this game it should have had some more types of units maybe some larger ones but in all a good game good graphics fun and challenging at times. They seemed touse the word "krayshit" a lot.

ALSO agree about Tribes Vengance i mean even tho Half Life 2 is the best damn game i ever played it was fricken fun i liked how the story unfolded and the different weapons ect it just felt different from the usual crappy sameish FPS. Its multiplayer is very good, i got this for £5 and after a while i just had other games to play but it was fun. Man it had good graphics for its time and i liked the skis you could use lol.

Star Wars Republic Commando was a very good FPS that was underrated IMO, yeah it was a really good console game and some said for a pc game it could have been better but i disagree, it had a cool gun that was a combo of many weapons, the squads were mostly intelligent and had decent controls, at the time it had good graphics and was fun, IT WAS STAR WARS also a bonus, it had a good story but was way to short. I think when i played it i ran through most of the game in 1 go, COST ME £15 a bargain and that was just a month after it was out still have the game might fire it up again for the memories.

Lots of forgotten heroes but i suppose theres so many games we tend to miss out on some would be classics.

[das müffin mann]

republic commando was good except it was ridiculously hard, the super battle droids took almost all your ammo to take down(unlike the movies) but other than that it was a good game

[keakar]

i would say "drakan" it was a pretty cool game where you have a flying dragon as your helper and you get off to go fight in caves and stuff but single player only.

i really enjoyed it but it died quickly as another company bought out that company and "improved it" so it wasnt ever seen again lol.

i heard they renamed it or something but it wasnt worth playing after they got ahold of it.

[das müffin mann]

does anyone know how to enable the console in the steam version of bloodlines?
