Several great games for the PS2 have come out that went unknown. Two examples are Katamari Damacy (the sequels are now a bit more well known) and Rez. What others do you think are noteworthy to tell about?

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne.

Only a few Japanese companies bother to do any advertising in the US (Square-Enix, Capcom, Konami, Nintendo, sometimes Namco), so any good game by anybody else from Japan is pretty much underrated.

Since you like Shin Megami Tensei, you should try finding a downloadable version of the original 16 bit on the internet.

The Bushido Blade series was very underrated. I'm expecting a Bushido Blade 3 for the PS3.

i think beyond,good and evil was an underrated game it was an enjoyable and fun game to play

Well...not so much underrated as it was "under-bought." It recieved good, if not, great reviews from magazines and website and did sell quite a bit, but not to its full potential.

I finally found Beyond Good and Evil at Gamecrazy for around $7, which is absolutely fantastic.
I just rented Psychonauts, and while it doesn't have the best gameplay mechanics in the world, it is extremely clever, inventive, and original, with
hilarious voice work.

Some underrated games were Cold Winter, The Thing
and probably Rouge Trooper which doesn't seem to
be getting much play.

The prince of Persia games for the PS2 are all amazing. They have a sort of cult following but other thant that they really don't get that much exposer.(i wish they will make more it's got to be my favorite seris)

I'd say some of the underrated games on the PS2 are Indigo Prophecy, Katamari Damacy series, Shadow of the Colossus, and the Guilty Gear series.

I seem to have a knack for finding buried treasures. Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy was great for any Jak and Daxter Fan. Beyond Good and Evil was breathtakingly beautiful and a gas to play. Both of these were much better than The Getaway, which I couldn't even finish because it was so awful.

While I'm at it, Devil May Cry seemed way OVERRATED to me, but I digress....
