Let's discuss the games that you think are totally underrated, or in simpler terms, games you wish would get more recognition (be it merchandise, dlc, sequel, etc.)

Oh god, there are soooo many I can think of

Off the top of my head:
Kameo: Elements Of Power
Beyond Good and Evil
Shantae
Goemon: Legend Of The Mystical Ninja
Catwoman
Phoenix Wright

What can you think of?

Honestly in my experience, Okami was rather under-rated not review wise, as those who did review it generally gave it high scores, but it just didn't really take off as much as I wish it had, and remained oddly low on the radar.
Like, at first I thought it was really well known, but then when I observed other fans mentioning it here and there in gaming circles, and found there are a lot of people out there that are completely unaware of it's existence.

it's kind of a Zelda rip-off in some features, but it was beautiful for the platform it was on, and very different visually, the art based system was an interesting concept and the soundtrack was lovely. It's one of my all time favorites, and I think it's just a little under appreciated.

My list would be:

-Shining Force Neo
-Shining Tears
-Growlanser V (apart from I and III I don't believe the others were even considered out of the EU and Japan)
-Trapt (I didn't see anyone review it properly)
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (It was the most under-rated Castlevania series and Juste was the most under-rated Belmont)

Definitely Tales of Legendia. It's not only disliked by critics but also by Tales fans. Which is sad because it has the best music and arguably the best cast of any Tales game.

Also, Dawn of Mana for the PS2. Yeah, it has its fair share of major problems, but it actually is pretty fun and is gorgeous for a rather bleak game.

Almost every Warriors game O.O, i don't know why they are always so underrated, cause of graphics maybe?, i can't undertand it well, they are funny, with local multiplayer a lot of modes and characters, and challenging difficulty too, i can't understand it. O.O

After Warriors games, a lot of Tenchu games, starting with Tenchu Fatal Shadows, it is usually underrated by reviewers and i can't understand why, metal gear is better as a stealth game they say, well they are different, there isn't security cams or codec on Tenchu, you cannot use a box to hide (Box that Snake sure is hiding on his pocket) but that makes the game bad?, try to finish every mission on the highest rank... probably harder than Metal Gear games.

Tenchu 4 is also underrated, i played PSP version and it is awesome, great graphics for a PSP and great atmosphere and difficulty, the only problems are some bugs and lagg the game have and that it is a bit repetitive and short compared to other Tenchus.

Golden Axe Beast rider is also very underrated in my opinion, of course it is not a master piece but i have read "Avoid it if you don't want to destroy your love for the orginal Golden Axes", that is a great exaggeration and a lie, Beast Rider has a lot of bugs, and also lack of a multiplayer mode and more playable chars, but out of that, gameplay is not bad, you can even guard (something prohibited on games like DMC), there is a large number of different enemies and beasts to control, the difficulty is ok and it has an arena mode i missed a lot on games like Bayonetta and Devil May Cry 4 (i didn't like that predefined time attack bloody palace it had), so i think it is a decent game, at least it offers the same old Golden Axes offered, but it is less repetitive and on 3D.

BeatDown Fist of Vengeanze is another funny game very underrated, it was released at the same time of RE 4 by Capcom, i bought it as a second hand game, and it wasn't bad, character customization was very good, you could change characters look completely, the plot was just a typical mafia story, but characters were awesome! (like Raven and Eugene! >.<) and the gameplay was ok for a 3D Beat'em up, with a quite funny VS mode and various endings, it was very long too if you wanted to unlock every character of the game (around 100 characters, most of them clones of course but with different look).

And last but not least, KOF Maximum Impact games, every KOF fan use to dislike them and reviers use to hate them -.-, in my opinion Maximum Impact 2 offered a great number of characters without clones, with a funny gameplay that made the game easy to play but hard to win fights, a lot of nice modes and costumes for every character, i think it is a more than decent game, and my favourite 3D fighting game with Dead or Alive 4. ^-^

I think that's ok for now x), i hope there exist a topic of "Least favourite overrated games", cause there a are a lot of "awesome" games for reviewers that usually don't offer anything out of nice graphics. -.-
