I would have to go with Freedom fighters too - I absolutely loved this game. a pioneer of the teamwork ethic and having a team to take many bullets for you!! :lol:

Body Harvest and Blast Corps were awesome back on the N64. I always loved a game called S.C.A.R.S too.

Add in:

Wipeout,
Star Wars Episode One: Pod Racer,
Second Sight,
Vigilante 8,
Legacy of Kain,
Metal Arms: Glitch in the System

F-Zero X was a great game back in the days of the N64.

Apollo and I already said, XIII was the most underrated game. You can stop posting now.

XIII... was that that fps done in cell shading... red box?

If so, played it a few times on my mates gamecube. Good game.

I completed it on GameCube, and liked it so much I got it on Xbox too!

I played it on X-Box too.. It was ok. Great graphical style but some horrid checkpoints...

I actually quite luike cel-shaded graphics, when they're done well. I think you don't have to look much further than Okami to see what can be done with cel-shading when its in the right hands.

I also think that there is too much emphasis on photo realism in games these days. Personally I'd take quality art direction (Bioshock, Assassins Creed, Okami, Gears, Dmc 1, God of War's etc) over photo realism anyday.

In saying that I do like to be wow'd by photo-realistic visuals, but with nearly every game I play seemingly striving for photo-realism, the industry seems to be losing some of its visual creativity imo.

Cel Damage was one of the funnest games I played no Gamecube. Also, Mario Kart Double Dash and Super Smash Bros Melee.

Those Mazza games are hardly underrated though, are they?

Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M was a good Starship Troopers style fps on the N64.

The was a cycling game on PS1 that was like a modern Paperboy game... Courier Crisis i think it was called.

I played FF8 Brosh. It was great. That was my first experience with FF games, and all I ever heard from others was that FF7 was so much better.

I don't care about 7, but 8 was a great game. Though, it was the only game that I ever used a walkthrough for.

I also played FF10 (I think it was 10. The one where they had that wicked sport you had to play inside the giant liquid sphere.
