There's a lot of hype and anticipation in the world of video games today. What with the release of the immensely popular Oblivion, the mystery surrounding Nintendo's Revolution and the ever-advancing world of graphics. But many great titles have been cast by the wayside over the years, not gaining the accalim they deserve. So, according to you, what is the most underrated video game in history?
My vote goes to Yu Suzuki's Shenmue.
What's the most underrated game of ALL TIME?

...Are you talking about the same Shenmue that I'm thinking of, because that game was pretty damn huge at the time.

Theres been many of these threads before, but I'll keep playing.
Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. Faulted? Yes, in some ways, but it is by far one of the most original and creative game settings I've ever seen, and the gameplay system fit perfectly with it.
Every fantasy RPG is all about Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orges, etc. It is always the same medieval setting. Ultimately, its all just inspired by Tolkien.
Arcanum broke the tradition and created a new world. It advanced the tradition "fantasy" world to the 18th century. Like the human world, this classic fantasy world would not stay "medieval" forever, and Arcanum showed what it could be like when they advanced.
That game goes down as one of my all time favourite titles. The art, the music, the gameplay, the story, and the setting. It was all exactly what I wanted in a title.

Halo. DURP!
Mafia was a great game and I hadn't heard a thing about it when I bought it.

I wouldn't say of all time, but Ground Control II had the most amazing RTS graphics I have EVER seen, and it came out in '04. Even rts' games coing out now cannot compare to it.
It had water reflections, dynamic lighting, and when you looking up into the sky, you could see 3D planets (that's right, no sky boxes) and stars moving around.
It had Gibs also, which is a big bonus for any game in my books ;).
