Most Underrated Sixth Generation Video Games

The sixth generation of video games is one of my favorites. This withholds the Xbox, PS2 and Gamecube games, as well as the Gameboy Advance games.
Here is what I think are the most underrated sixth generation video games.
The Top Ten
1 TimeSplitters 2

My personal favorite fps. Halo Reach was also really really good, but TimeSplitters man, you can't go wrong with timesplitters. awesome soundtrack, great multiplayer, and extremely underrated. Although if I could pick a game you should start with, it would be TimeSplitters: Future Perfect

Fantastic fps with a lot of content and good gameplay. This game even let's you have the ability to use the MapMaker to make your own levels. How cool is that?

2 Onimusha 3: Demon Siege

A very cinematic, story driven game that was a pretty big deal back then, having quite the cast of actors. Although now it's seen more as a cult classic.

3 Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Warrior Within and Two Towers overshadow this one. The combat is simpler, as well as the parkour which makes the game more fluid and less complicated at times.

4 SpongeBob SquarePants: The Battle for Bikini Bottom

Oh, Bikini Bottom,: We pledge our hearts to you. As faithful, as deep, as true, as blue! Bikini Bottom, we love you!

Visually speaking it's not the prettiest game, but it makes up for it with fun game play elements.

I personally don't find this game as underrated as people say but I know I will get hate if I didn't include it.
As for licensed video games go, this game was pretty good.

It's not one of the best, but it clearly is an underrated game

5 Ape Escape 3

Ratchet & Clank and Jak and Daxter are the most memorable of the PS2 3D platformers but let's not forget this gem which even has it's own Metal Gear Solid spoof mini-game.

6 Mega Man Battle Network 3

The entire Battle Network series could be on this list. Lately it's been growing more of a cult following which is good because these games were pretty underrated during the age of GBA.

7 Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil

Similar to Ape Escape 3, not really as remembered as other platformers from the PS2 days.

Love this game, even more than the first one in my opinion.
Maze of Memories is a simply outstanding level.

8 Backyard Baseball (2005)

Remember this series? They used to be a favorite among the PC games of the time. Did you know there was a PS2 version of the series? And it's honestly pretty good. Still has the charm and overall is a solid sports game.

9 Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

The first game is widely regarded as one of the best Gamecube games of all-time. But let's not forget about it's just as good sequel (some may argue even better)

The fact that I gave it a 9.6/10 review score notwithstanding

10 Psychonauts

Dong Approved

The Contenders
11 Tony Hawk's American Wasteland

Everyone knows the Pro Skaters. The Underground games are remembered fairly well as well. American Wasteland is probably the least remembered, although it features the most content wise. It is probably the last great Tony Hawk game. (Project 8 was fine but lacked a lot and just doesn't hold a candle to it's predecessors)

12 Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram

The most underrated game for the SEGA Dreamcast

13 Luigi's Mansion

How can a game that gets a remake on multiple systems be underrated?

14 Star Fox Assault

I'm not sure why Star Fox fans are so hostile towards this game, especially as a lot of them defend Star Fox Adventures, but treat this game like the black sheep of the series. Honestly after Lylat Wars I'd consider this the next best game in the series.
The arwing controls were excellent, the on foot missions made for a nice change of pace, the orchestrated soundtrack was brilliant, and the storytelling was a lot more ambitious than it's predecessors.

15 War of the Monsters
16 Shrek 2
17 Kirby Air Ride
18 SSX on Tour
19 The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie

Loved this game as a kid

20 Burnout 3: Takedown

Also one of the best racing games. Very complete and holds a place in our heart for a lot of us gamers when we were young.

21 Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs. Zeon
22 Unreal Championship 2 the Liandri Conflict
23 Drill Dozer
24 Piglet's Big Game

Compared to Clifford's Really Big Movie and in general, Piglet's Big Movie (as a whole) is underrated as sin, like The Rescuers Down Under, Rosalina from Mario, anti-sexism, Demi Lovato, SegaSonic the Hedgehog, Big Hero 6 and so forth.

The amount of detail put into this game is very impressive.

25 Silent Hunter 1
