A trippy visual style and a dynamic soundtrack done in co-operation with Les Claypool. The gameplay is Okay, but the music is just amazing.

That looks awesome :o
I love games that is like this graphically. Like Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Ratchet & Clank Rayman 2 ect. Sadly I do not own a Wii... :/

[Moosey Fate!]

Alright, here are two PS1 games that I've never heard anyone talk about.

Kileak is a first-person shooter/exploration game. You control a soldier in a mechsuit as you explore a laboratory in the South Pole.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pToG1kCXwoo[/media]
Incredible Crisis is a bunch of minigames strung together into a story that involves oyster aliens, a giant teddy bear attacking the city, robbers in wolf masks trying to steal a golden pig idol, giant bugs, and a grandmother's birthday party. Its soundtrack is performed by the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.

[B]Warning, huge-ass post incoming![/B]

[B]Note:[/B] Traveller is the Swedish/Nordic name of this game and is otherwise known as Globetrotters (I think!!).
They literally gave this game away when renting movies on a gasstation chain named Statoil. More like fucking forced it, I have 3 copies of this game because my relatives thought I liked PC games enough to give 2 shits about this horribbly horrible game.
[B]
Okay time for explainations![/B]

[B]Traveller A.K.A. Globetrotter[/B]
This is a quiz game, but with a bit of style. You controll you caracter on an isometric map. Yes, map, as in what you take with you on vacation so you don't get lost.
The goal of this game (I think!!!) is to travel to as many locations as possible without getting broke, you can find "Jobs" in most cities you find but it's shit easy. All you do is answer a bunch of quiz' and you're done and gained some money. Really easy to cheat aswell, when the quiz is over and you didn't answer everything right, just click cancel or the x or whatever don't remember really and start the mission again. It's the same questions again.

[B]Worms Blast[/B]
This is a puzzlegame made out of the worms franchise. It is basically a Bust-A-Move game but with some crack added for pleasure. It's fun if you're 2 and mostly enjoyable after a few beers.
Please not that this is [B]NOTHING[/B] like the original worms games, except for the fact that gravity will make you shoot yourself a lot.
You sit in a boat, balls above you, shoot them with the corresponding colours so the disappear, repeat.
There'se actually a (kinda) wide range of weapons including Bazooka and Shotgun.
As an added bonus this "Special Edition" game included:

[B]Worms Pinball[/B]
It's a Pinball game with Worms theme. What else is there to say?

[B]Throne of Darkness[/B]
This... Is... Donkeyass luquid on a stick. I'm almost sure that it's built on the Diablo (2?) engine and it's an RPG like it. (Though Diablo 2 is a really good game)
Luckily I managed to lose my disc for this but I still have the box as proof that I own this wondeful game.
You controll 7 "Ninjas" but the strange part is that you can only controll 3 at a time... Because I guess ninjas only work well in teams of 3..?
I never actually finnished this game, with good reasons I might add.

[B]Nomads[/B]
This has got to be the wierdest freaking game I've ever played... You controll a flying Island and shoot down ships, and get this, flying people with this flying island.
So the story about these island is somewhat faint to me, but I think it was something about the world blowing up and these flying pieces of rocks everywhere with no gravity was found suitible for warfare. Yeah... Neat.
The voice acting is what made me not play through this game though, call me shallow but it really sounds like they used the nearest headset they had to record the voice.
There isn't really much more to say about it except it has really pretty graphics for being a 2001 game.

[B]Battle Realms[/B] I think some people might know of this game though
Last but definetly not least! Battle Realms! I'm so glad I found this game. I've never really liked samurai/ninja themed games but oooh then this came along. Though not widely known this is a fairly [B]FUCKING FUN[/B] strategy game with Samurais, ninjas, geishas, fucking undead nasty as fuck dead people and more.
What I like with this game is that your 'warriors' are actually your peasants... But you build barracks to train your peasants to become warriors.
The storyline is fairly good but the prize is the multiplayer :dance: Me and some friends played this like crazy village idiots for hours.

[B]This is a year before WC3!

Shiren the Wanderer. Infamous among the (relative) few who know it for its boxart, it's an excellent roguelike. Easily worth a look for fans of the genre!

But in the Europe and US, many don't even know it.

[Tacogeddon]

Cosmology of Kyoto is fucking bizarre, it's a point and click game about DYING multiple times to take trips through the underworld, inspired by Japanese legends and such.

It's really creepy though, actually.

Platformer for the PS2 and PC where you get a bunch of psychic-based powers like Levitation, and you go into people's minds. Good stuff.[/QUOTE]

If you never heard of psychonauts, then you never played one of the most awesome games, besides all the games made by Team Ico.

Tempest 2000 = win.

[GenericAlt]

The Baten Kaitos series.

'Cult classic' hardcore JRPG with card-based fighting system. The best qualities qould be the rich storyline, and in the second game, the fleshed out characters, writing, and quality voice acting.

Oh yeah.

And the music is amazingly good, it is actually worth listening to stand alone.

All by Motoi Sakuraba, if anyone gives a damn.

It is rumored there might be a third, and many of the staff would love to do one, but due to poor sales and a small fanbase, the DS project was scrapped, and no new plans have been made.

You must have heard of killer instinct, if you haven't you are required to play it.

fairly fun game actually. besides the huge exaggeration on the back of the case saying the final boss is as big as New York City. and the extremely cheesy story and remarks the main character makes throughout the game.

the little beam is fun to play with though.
