Wait, someone didn't like canvas curse? How could anyone in their right mind not like canvas curse.

Probably the same people who think anything nintendo does now isn't good. Which is absolute horse ****.

Am I the only person in the world who was able to look past the Bongos and loved DK Jungle Beat?
I loved it, especially the bongo use for some reason. (It felt so awesome to literally pound your enemies to bits)

I want to play it, but I can't find bongos anywhere. (And I like the songs you mentioned, but his voice makes a weird noise on half of those that erk me for some reason =x)

Bongos, I needz Bongos
You can play it with the regular gamecube controller you know, just like Donkey Konga can be played with a regular controller.

Lol dude LoZ: TP is one if the highest rated games of all time... http://www.gamerankings.com/browse.html (currently ranked number 11).

Don't let those OoT fanboys from the LoZ section get to you.
When I said that, I was refering to how a lot of the Zelda fanbase hates it.

Also, my GF just got me and her FF Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time. It got a poor rating (7.5 on DS was one of its highest), but it is amazing. Loads of replay value, great co-op rpg multiplayer, and the armor/weapon list is amazing. The storyline is probably the weakest point, but it's funny to say the least, and with difficulties and newgame+ who cares?

Considering I loved The GCN one, I guess I worship this one because it has none of the GCN's flaws.

I think Pokemon puzzle league for te N64 was greatly unnapreciated.

It came out at the end of the n64's lifespan so it was overlooked but the gameplay is exciting and fierce, never gets old. And definitel a finger workout!

I LOVE donkey kong jungle beat!

Fun Fact : I learned how to play the game while holding the bongos backwards. I have comleted the game, platinum on everything, in this fashion. Yes, even ghastly king.

- Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
- Twilight Princess (it has grown on me recently)

And do people consider the Sly Cooper series as underrated? If yes, than they're on the list too.

Mega Man Legends 1 and 2. I really loved them and I think they're underrated.
Sure it doesn't offer anything new when you look at it now, but back then it was pretty awesome.
I loved all the different weapons they gave you in that game.

I still love the Legend series. I hope Inafune gives us Legends 3 someday.

Adventure Island II. I think I'm the only one who remembers that game. Man, I feel old...
Adventure Island was so fun. I've never beaten them. I found them hard when I was little.
At least the first one was hard for me. Can't remember the 2nd one much.

Jak and Daxter series was so awesome IMO. I look at it as the replacement of crash bandicoot
Yea i loved the Jak and daxter series. I beat 1 2 & 3 though i never messed around with the spin off games.

I like the first one the best. I think it had the most adventure

Mirror's Edge. I love that game to death, but it was received pretty mediocrely critically and most everyone I know doesn't like it at all.
Story wasn't all that interesting...HOWEVER I also love this game, simply because it's concept is unique..

War of the Monsters. 'nuff said.
I also liked this game, except i felt there was a severely imbalanced tier list (if I was to make one that is).

For me,
-Einhander
-Black
-Elasto Mania
-Gunbound (between late Thor's Hammer to early Revolution)

So today I got Drakengard at Gamestop, been ranting about it's low popularity.

What about Dark Cloud? I got it too, and boy that's an epic game.

The game was experimental and it was half successful. I, for one, enjoyed Mirror's Edge.

I just thought the way to end the game was complete **** <_<

I'd actually have to put DC on my list of disappointing games. I really wasn't a big fan of it, sorry to say.

All for the N64.
If anything, the N64 is over rated....

So did anyone else actually like FFXII here besides me? I know it gets a lot of hate but it really isn't that bad.

I loved that game to bits! Are they still coming out with a 2nd?

Chameleon Twist

Snowboard Kids 1/2.
I remember I had to leave my 64 on as a kid to keep my data for chameleon twist 2 xD

Also, snowboard kids 2 was sooo good!

I honestly have no idea why people ripped on Sonic Heroes when it first came out. It wasn't as good as other games in the series in respects to replay value but it was still fun. In retrospect that may have been Sonic's last good console platformer ._.

I think everyone was expecting another Adventure 2 Battle. I know I was when I bought it. However, looking at the 360 Sonic game(s) and a lot of the new stuff, I agree, Heroes is pretty good.

Heroes had the Majora'sMask effect to a certain extent I'd say.

Edit: Think I said this earlier, but:

Drakengard. Dark Cloud. Awesome.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Nearly 10 years later and it's still underrated. What the hell? Sure MM is short,(not to mention you only have 72 hours AKA 3 day time limit before the moon destroys everything) but that's why there's tons of side quests. I personally enjoyed doing every optional thing the game had to offer. It makes the games last longer and the rewards are worth the effort. The characterization was IMO well done. It made the NPCs more believable. If you haven't played Majora's Mask yet, do yourself a favor and buy it from VC(Virtual Console). You won't regret it.:)
