-Brave Fencer Musashi (PS1, not the awful PS2 sequel): I just loved this game to tears. It was funny, suspenseful, had great dungeons, and had a great story.
-Sonic Shuffle (Dreamcast): I don't understand why everyone hates this game. I had tons of fun playing it, and it even had a Chao as a playable character! =)
-Majora's Mask (N64, hopefully will come on the Wii soon): Best Zelda game ever, in my opinion. And to the people who complained about the 3-day system, I have four words for you: Inverted Song of Time.
For recent games:
-God Hand (PS2): Reasons already stated in previous posts.
-Indigo Prophecy/Farenheit (PS2, Xbox): Did I spell that right? Anyways, this game had some of the most unique gameplay experiences I've ever had. Too bad the story falls apart towards the end, though. )=
-Tales of Symphonia (GC): Yep, you guys convinced me to get this game (on the original board), and I must admit that this is a very great game! =D
-Luigi's Mansion (GC): So what if it's not a real Mario game!? It is a perfect game on its own!
And that's all!

That was really a diamond in the rough and much more masterfully done and executed than any other Zelda I've played. The three day realism and learning when to be where for what is one of my favorite parts. besides, transforming was brilliant. Zoras are great to play as.

I definetly agree with Majoras Mask. Not so much with Sonic Shuffle though. Would have been a little better if it weren't for the loading times, IMO.

My favourite underrated game would probably be Another Code (Trace Memory to you folks in the USA). Firstly it's Hotel Dusk's spiritual predecessor, and secondly the storyline is awesome. Some people claim the game's too short. I thought it was short too, but it was still cool. If anyone wants to get more out of it they should try to see if they can:
Spoiler: Another Code/Trace Memory
If anything, my two favourite puzzles on there were the one that involved half closing the DS to solve the puzzle, and the one that involved completely closing the DS a couple of times to make a printing. I like how they continued that idea on Hotel Dusk =D

Because it deals with a female bounty hunter in space, with a virus infection, it's easy to blow off as a Metroid Fusion clone. However, the gameplay and view are too different to compare.
Plus, there's a sense of urgency in which you need to visit a healing station to slow down your infection rate. Otherwise you start losing life :0
Ah, and Sigma Star Saga for the GBA, and Plok for the SNES.

The first Grandia is an AMAZING game with funny humor, a lengthy quest, believeable characters and a kickin' soundtrack. Unfortunately, I think this got released that same time as Final Fantasy VIII so no one got their hands on it.
The Suikoden series as a whole is underrated, however, I think at least for the second game, people KNOW it's awesome. Makes me wish I hadn't sold mine on eBay...

The literal predecessor to today's misfit GTA series, complete with carjacking and weapon arsenals. Though low-tech by today's standards, the protodesign of exploration-based gameplay kept me playing the game.

LOZ: Wind Waker, and Okami.
I expect to be killed by a mob of OoT fanboys, but I truly believe Wind Waker is the best LoZ game.*ducks*
And it's criminal how bad the sales of Okami were. One of the saddest (video-game related) sights I've seen was a PS2 chart where Okami was barely clinging onto the end of the chart, and guess what was at the top?

How in bloddy HELL has no once mentioned EARHTBOUND.
Yes, it was released over here, but was TERRIBLY underrated:(

Legend of Dragoon wasn't underrated at all. It was generally considered a mediocre game by critics and that's all it was.
But how many Mediocre games cover four discs?
Another one I like to add, was Suikoden 4. A good entry into the series, but for obvious reasons, it faded into the horizon to be replaced by it's shinier, more vibrant brother, Suikoden 5.

More often than not, an excessively long game is compensation for shortcomings in the gameplay.

*Okay, they're a strong fighting force, and their morale and strong will in combat was useful. However, the stipulations on research made them too unenjoyable to play, in my opinion.

The only problem with the expansion is the new factions invariably suck. Original 7 = way to go.
Really? That's a shame; from what I heard, some of them seemed pretty interesting. On the other hand, the alien factions seemed rather...dissapointing. Oh well.

Yeah, I like the concept of the Pirates and the Data Angels, but they're not executed very well. Of course, part of that may be my attachment to the Hive.And yeah, the alien factions are broken. To alleviate that, in any game where they're in, they're always at each others' throats, but they still dominate.

River City Ransom, yes, definite underrated/forgotten game of the NES. Co-operative RPG/Action is a rare thing to find throughout video game history. That said, Secret of Mana for the SNES was the shit.
Another game that gets my vote? The Adventures of Lolo. Perhaps it did get its proper accolades, but when thinking back on puzzle game history people seem to forget to mention that great series - another great developed by Nintendo's own HAL Laboratories. Bunch of geniuses there.
And Tetris Attack/Panel De Pon for the SNES, by Nintendo's Intelligent Systems. Immortalized in modern days as Puzzle League. Gawd. As far as puzzle games go, this is one I find to actually be "fair and balanced" in terms of competitive play, and is far less arcane yet highly complex than whatever craze is sweeping southeast Asia these days. I wish they'd bring this back as a high-profile number, but eh.

Suikoden.
Suikoden.
Suikoden.
If you're a fan of RPG's, the Suikoden series is a much. Except IV, which I like to pretend never existed. Suikoden II is one of the best, but it's damn near impossible to find now for under $80. I suggest snagging Suikoden V. It's tied with Suikoden II as my all-time favorite RPG.
I and III were okay, but they don't hold a candle to II or V.

Overrated? Are you kidding me? Maybe it's a Canada thing, but where I am no one's even heard of the series. Of course, it'll also depend on what you're looking for in a game. I dig character history, character growth, storyline, and replayability. I like stories with alternate endings, because god damnit if I'm going to pay $50 for a game, I want to be able to play it more than once.
Suikoden II was the best at capturing all of these elements. I even loved the sidequests. V was incredibly close to II insofar as gameplay went, and characters as well. I like how they don't give the main character as much emphasis, because that's one of my big irks with the Final Fantasy series. I don't really care how badass/aloof/cool/untouchable my main character is. I'm not playing because I have a small penis. I'm playing because I want to be a part of an interactive story.
