The seventh Electric Challenge asks us to talk about a game that we think is underrated. It doesn't have to be popular, it doesn't have to be obscure, just underrated, in our opinion.
That's on the tougher side, because I play a lot of popular games and a lot of games that are recommended by others to me, or that look like they'll have a good gameplay experience. So they get their rating pretty honestly.
I guess I'm going to reach into the bag, then, and pull out one of the many iterations of Capcom's Vs. Series that hasn't had a whole ton of sequels, which might have something to do with SNK as a company having significant financial troubles due to the Neo Geo not being as successful as it could have been. There have been three official arcade games in the Capcom vs. SNK series, two produced by Capcom and one by SNK. The second of the Capcom-produced ones is one that I played significantly at university, on a Dreamcast (which was a great machine but a terrible controller) and then played more effectively on the Playstation 2.
The series itself is a crossover between the two companies, and after the first game proved the experiment could be done, the second refined the concept into something very playable for newcomers and experienced hands at 2D fighters alike.
( C-A-P vs. S-N-K )
