Most underrated Xbox game?

The Xbox has a lot of highly touted games, but what about the gems that have slipped under the radar or have been on the market so long that they´re being forgotten?
 
 When it comes to underrated games on the Xbox, Amped tops my list.
 
 This snowboarding game is fun as hell, has beautiful graphics and great sound, has very good gameplay, a deep, addictive gameplay system and is only $19.99 new now at Best Buy! It´s the best snowboarding game I´ve played.
 
 What is your most underrated Xbox game?
 
 Take care,
 PK

I´ve yet to see or try Moto GP for the Xbox, but I wonder, couldn´t it be said that it was underrated? I´m amazed at how scarce it seems to be now.

John:
 
 Not sure about Moto GP being underrated.
 
 Sure, Xbox Live has given the game new horsepower, no pun intended. But I think I was the only guy who wasn´t impressed after his first play with Moto GP. It was roundly praised by gamers and critics when it was released.
 
 I´m a bit slow -- it took me three rentals to realize just how brilliant Moto GP really is. <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif">

I guess I wasn´t following Xbox happenings closely when Moto GP was released. I´m glad this is one the critics didn´t miss. Usually, anything that has simulation value is lost on the mainstream when it comes to console games... ala WoO Sprint Cars. This is one title I´ll try to get a hold of once I score my Xbox.

Happy New Year everyone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
 I would like to vote for Bizzarre Creations (F1 ´97 Fame) Project Gotham Racing. The game has incredible graphics and audio. You can also copy your own music to the Hard Drive if you like. It has the perfect balance between sim and arcade. The AI is tough and the game puts up a good challange.
 
 Definately looking forward to Project Gotham 2 later this year which will be Xbox Live. [ This message was edited by: Rodster on 01-01-2003 21:21 ]

 Great call, dude. PGR was one of my personal Xbox "launch titles," and I still play it regularly to this day.
 
 Metropolis Street Racer from the Dreamcast was one of my favorite racing games of all time. Since PGR is the successor of MSR, I guess you can say the same!
 
 I can´t wait for PGR 2 on Xbox Live, too! Yeah, baby!

 No question, bro: I´d change my vote to ID 2003 in a second. Amped is a good game, but ID 2003 is superb.

What´s up PK. Alright, you sold me, I am going to get Inside Drive 2003. I haven´t purchased a pro bball game yet(I have ncaa 2k3, and I am loving it) I was going to get nba2k3, but you have convinced me to look at ID2003. One question, is Jordan in the game and does he have his fade away?

Nova:
 
 MJ is in the game. I´ve only played with the Wizards once, and it was a couple of months ago, so I can´t remember if the fadeaway is there.
 
 Can anyone help?
 
 Thanks,
 PK
