What really is the most underrated game of all time? Taht is a big question (well to me it is) in the world of gaming. What really stops a great game from being bought?

Is it it's rubbish looking gameplay that has been talked about but is not really (but has been made out to be) that bad?

Is it a character is hated by some people that would normally go out and buy a game like this?

Are the graphics looking not up to scratch but are hiding a really good game behind them?

My thoughts on the most underrated game are that if you like the look of a game then rent it first to see if it has the gameplay you are expecting and if it doesn't then don't buy it?

But it could be the other way round. If you don't think the graphics are good in a game it can put you off .

My prime example of a game being underrated on any format is F-Zero-X. It is a great game that is still one in my opinion but was underrated right from the start. No hype was made, the magazines didn't care much and it is the best racer on the n64 (also in my opinion). I never would actually have known about it unless i got it for a £5er which i did and really liked it.

It is so underrated that all my friends after playing it went out and got it. Do they all have a bad taste in games or is this really an underrated game?

Now most of you won't even know about this game as nobody really thinks anything of it but to all those people that have it i would like to ask if they like it?

Has anyone else got a game that they think is underrated and if they do could they reply in this topic?

Anyway thanks 4 reading, Afro.

I think he means that Banjo Tooie was overshadowed by Conkers Bad Fur Day becasue they were both released at the same time.

that wasn't really underratted as it was hyped up to be amazing for over a year and had a lot of us in suspense.

but if thats what you think then fine.
