Hello Nitendo Life people. I wanted to ask you guys what is most underrated game(s) in 2009 that you enjoyed and thought the reviews were just too harsh on that particular game(s)!
For me I am enjoyed Klonoa, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, and Ghostbusters.
Klonoa is a very good remake for the original PSOne game, and it shows that Namco has put care into it, as it has voice acting, multiple controller support, and the graphics and sound are redone. As far as Symphonia on the Wii goes, I know that game isn't on the same caliber as the GC one, but I do enjoy it and furthers the story as to the aftermath of the GC game. Ghostbusters, well that is very fun 3rd person game, I am really enjoying it. Has voice acting, "cartoonish" look (reminds me of the cartoon), and all around fun game to play.
As a bonus, what game(s) that got a good review but sucked for you?
For me I think Madworld got a higher review score than it deserved as after a little while of playing that game I got a head ache, if the graphics were black, white, gray, and red and not just outlines I think I might have enjoyed it more. Little King Story, yeah it's a nice game but I would have given it such a rosy score, maybe a natch lower.
Underrated - Spyborgs ( I just liked the game quite a bit ) Need For Speed Nitro ( I knew I forgot one ) Overrated - The Conduit ( not bad just not as great as the hype led me to believe, wished I would have waited for a price drop )
Yeah I know I agree on The Conduit, I should have don the same thing. So is Spyborgs good?
I liked Spyborgs quite a bit. The biggest complaint I saw in reviews was the difficulty. Which is kind of funny because there is hardly ever a mention of the novice setting which makes the game fairly easy. Also it has a mission select feature similar to what is found in Devil May Cry which you can go back and do any level with your upgraded levels and when you redo levels you can still upgrade your characters. Overall not a perfect game but it is fun nonetheless and it has local multiplayer which would be fun for friends to go through together and play.
I haven't gotten much, but I think the most underrated game I played in 2009 was The Conduit. Sure it didn't meet my expectation, but it was still an solid FPS shooter that I quite enjoyed.
I personally think the most overrated Wii game that I have would be Super Smash Bros. Brawl. That was the biggest disappointment in gaming for me and really doesn't deserve it's Metacritics score.
@SSBFan And you call yourself the biggest fan of Smash Bros.! Plus it came out in '08. NSMB Wii, Excitebots, Wii Sports Resort, and Punch-Out!! were all underrated IMO, but The Crystal Bearers was easily the most needlessly criticized. As for overrated games, did Animal Crossing come out this year? If not, NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits is the only overrated game I can think of.
You suck Odnetnin, for calling Animal Crossing overrated
Most underrated game this year for me was Boy And His Blob. Its one of those games that got good reviews everywhere but people still say it looks too easy from the videos they've seen.
Somebody set up us the bomb. Wii: 8703 7486 8875 3789 I love PWN3NG NintendoLife members on Tatsunoko :-)
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. =) I really enjoyed Klonoa, but I don't know if it was underrated as much as overlooked. But whatever. It still didn't sells as much as I think it deserved.

I don't think it's easy, and I do like it. Almost done with the initial run of the game, in the last area.
Underrated games i seen from 2009 are Muramasa, Klonoa and Little King Story even do The Conduit, Madworld and house of the Dead kinda counts the fact the got at least moderate sales and Game of The Year Nominee's no longer counts as underrated.
Underrated would be Muramasa. Such a great, beautiful game. Overrated would be Dead Space Extraction and NSMBW (although the latter to a lesser degree.)
