I just bought Phantom Crash, and I friggin' love it!! I've only had it for a few days and it's already one of my favourite games! Really good graphics, great gameplay, good music, insane customizability (you can buy songs in the game and add them to custom playlists), really good maps, and it's a mech game!! It kicks ass!!
It's got that furious fast-paced mech-action that MechAssault is so popular because of, but it also has loads of micro-management. Some people might not like the idea of micro-management, but it's actually a good thing in this game. You can buy and sell any part of your mech (called Scoobee's), and there are even sentient AI CHIPS that help you lock-onto targets and converse with you. Even THOSE are completely customizable! This game got a couple mediocre reviews when it came out a while back, but I love it, and I'm sure many others will. It's not for everybody, but it'd by far the best mech-game I've played for the Xbox. . .

Yes, I know that everyone is going to say it sucked, and it is a bit dry, but to me (can't explain why), it reminds me of PSO. I like PSO.

I don't know if it is just because there are so many gamers out there who don't surf (and don't understand the game), or if people just really think it sucks. I guess that you shouldn't have to surf to be able to tell if a game is fun or not, but when you can ride in the barrell of HUGE waves that suck up over insanely sharp reefs, and pull monster airs at places that you would never dream of trying to catch air at in the real world, well, it just seems more enjoyable.
I often see the game used for 14.99 and I can't help but think that this is an absolute bargain. If any of you have any inkling of an interest in surfing, check this game out. BTW, I haven't played the Kelly Slater surfing game yet, but that got a bad wrap too (deservedly?).

Sounds like a story to hear.... why don't you dredge up the horrid experience? =-)

This game was a huge success for ZX Spectrum, because of this the unit started to sell more and that was the start of home gaming as we know it. The game got me hooked back then, while by today's standards it's somewhat primitive and ridiculously simple to play, it still manages to amuse, delight and frustrate me years on.
I wouldnt say it was the Most Under-appreciated Game, but I think some younger people today dont appreciate how they got there X-Box/Game Cube/PlayStation 1 or 2, if classic games like this had not been created there would have not been a home console market like there is today.
Im getting old?

I love this game, yet all my friends cap on it. The dancing characters put them out..........that's just cuz they are a bunch of homophobes with no rhythm!

Yeah Gackt but it was only because Tobal "1" sucked so much ass nobody gave it a shot!

This game that really did not receive much hype and unfornatley was launch around the time Final Fantasy X so most people over looked it.
I thought it was a decent game. No matter how bad the critics trashed it.

Bottom line: is it better than Mech Assault?

yeah, if I had to vote for a PS2 game then it'd be ICO. Fuck every other platformer/adventure game on the PS2 - this is the one to get.

Plus there were no cheats available for it
Plus there was the free bonus disk Xmas Nights
Still no fucker i know has played the game except me and its kinda hard to explain the gameplay on it
In the end on most levels i could continuously link
For a small time i felt like God because anyone watching me felt like throwing up
