View Full Version : Not very well known Videogames that are amazing
First one that springs to mind is Grandia, which has become a cult classic but back in the day it was lodged between FFVII and FFVIII so got a bit overshadowed

Very popular in Asia but I doubt many people would have heard of the Shenmue series over here in Europe, probably the best game I played on the Original Xbox with Jet Set Radio Future

Apart from FFX the best RPG I played on the PS2, the story was incredible

So weird and dark but a one of a kind RPG, haven't played anything like it before, the vintage european settings were amazing

This whole series should be experienced by anyone with a nintendo console.
I'll think of a few more later.

Not sure why it didn't do very well, it was the best classic resi game next to code veronica gameplay wise and not every game in a series needs story, although it added some interesting backstory to racoon city itself though.

One of the most underrated Nintendo title of recent times, just a joy in it's artstyle, gameplay and soundtrack. So goood.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ed/Vib-Ribbon.jpg
Vib Ribbon was really ahead of it's time conceptually, it was a rhythm game which used the music on your memory card or CDs to generate the playing field. Graphically really simple, but a lovely little game.

You play a giant boulder with a face rolling down a hill, crushing peasants and villages and attempting to destroy the castle containing a famous historic figure e.g. Atlas or Napoleon. Crazy crazy wonderful stuff.

A recent one which deserved way more praise and attention. Such a beautiful game.

My favourite point and click series of all time, due to it's low-key nature in the story, the creepy atmosphere and the wonderful style of the game. Underneath it's look it's a rather light point-and-click with Professor Layton style puzzles, but it's still a great story to get yourself into.
I'll probably remember way more later.

I agree! I never understood why people hated them so much, they were really fun. It was a real shame the online co-op was never given a chance in Europe, though.
