I've noticed on many forums, that people only seem to be talking about the one or two "big" games that the console has. For example the PS2 forums - its all Vice City this and The Getaway that, and Xbox forums are all Halo this and Splinter Cell that.

I think its a shame that so many games go unnoticed. I mean, now that Jet Set Radio Future is a freebie with the machine, many more people will get to play it, but why don't people talk about it?

Its so sad to see such classic games as JSRF and other consoles games like Super Monkey Ball get such a small bit of the public attention. So, how's this...

what games do you yourself paricularly love to play, that seem to be overlooked by many people because its got maybe an obscure referance material or its "kiddy"? What "sleeper hits" really make you think "wow, Xbox is so cool"?

Well there's a long thread about Morrowind, and there have been ones discussing JSRF in the past.

Yes I know, Many games do come unoticed. But, Halo and Splinter Cell are exceptionally good games, They have all the hype surrounding them, and thats why many people talk about the games.

JSRF is an excellent game in my opinion, But people don't associate the console with the game. Think about it, When someone mentions Xbox the first thing that'll come to your head is "Halo" as the groundbreaking title.

Its a shame many games go unoticed, Like Phantom Crash.
