Line 8:
* [[Metal Gear|Metal Gear Solid]].
** Hell yeah! No other game has a plot and scenario that engrossing and (on at least two occasions a game) emotionally devastating. The wacky-but-effin'-badass characters, the overarching narrative that encompasses cloning, vampires, enormous mecha, ridiculous [[Xanatos Roulette|XanatosRoulettes]], malevolent [[A Is]], ghosts, psychic arms, international assassins, love, loss and battlefield philosophy while handling eternal themes like political corruption, the passage of time, war, the nature of death etc. etc...
** And it cannot be touched for epic moments - each game in the series culminates in several hours of distilled awesomeness, but once you're about 1/5th of the way through [[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]] Kojima pulls out all the stops in order to best conclude his epic. The nostalgic battle atop Outer Haven has GOT to be the greatest setpiece in gaming ever.
** The music! Themes like Encounter, Old Snake, Mantis' Hymn, Debriefing, the Main Theme from MGS 1,2 & 3, and the new one for MGS 4... They're all unbelievably exciting and moving.
** [[User:Fly|I]] think ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 2'' was ludicrously ahead of its time, and ten years from now people will be looking back at it and realising it was incredibly underrated. Mind you, I also admit my favourite character in the game is Snake's butt, so who am I to judge?
Line 15:
** Oh yes, yes, yes. This troper absolutely LOVES Metal Gear Solid. Ever since she first played MGS3 (that was her first in the series), she has been in love. She has finished the games multiple times. MGS2 and 3 are her favorites. (and MGS1, too) No other story in gaming history can ever come close to topping the MGS series.
* This page needs more Castlevania! Especially, Symphony of the night.
* The freeware fangame [https://web.archive.org/web/20130818080813/http://horrorquest.altervista.org/ Castlevanie II: Dracula's Shadow] is a strong candidate for most underrated game of all time. The author spent 5 YEARS on this remake, keeping all the good things about Simon's Quest, removing all the bad, and then adding so very very much more. Item crashes, 3 playable characters, a boss-fight at every levelup, and on and on. It's everything you ever loved about the NES castlevanias. If Dracula's Shadow had come out on the NES in the early 90s it would have been an instant classic, but released in 2005 for dos and windows it hardly made a ripple. Even after 5 years it's still obscure beyong all reckoning. A youtube search will turn up only a single ''[[Let's Play]]'' and a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QouE-JHDq0 parody/review] both of which were posted within the last 4 months.
