10 Underrated Video Games That Need Sequels

10. Project Gotham Racing 4

Metropolis Street Racer was - as you may have guessed from the name - a racing game that featured a variety of vehicles and tracks. It was also known for introducing the Kudos system, a gameplay mechanic that encouraged players to drive stylishly to earn points. Due to the discontinuation of the Dreamcast, the series rebranded itself as Project Gotham Racing and moved to the Xbox. The last entry, Project Gotham Racing 4, was released for the Xbox 360 in 2007.

Like all sequels should, the game improved on every aspect of its predecessor. The driving was tweaked to be tighter and the Kudos system offered more variety. Aside from gameplay, the game had excellent presentation. The graphics were stunning for its time and showcased the power of the 360. It also had a killer soundtrack featuring artists such as The Prodigy and My Chemical Romance. Cities such as New York, London, Shanghai were recreated meticulously while the weather system added variety to these tracks.

Aside from standard racing, PGR 4 introduced a variety of modes such as relay races and obstacle courses. Finally, it was the first game in the series to introduce motorcycles.

It is unfortunate, then, that this content-packed release would be the last PGR game, as developer Bizarre Creations shut down in 2011. Still, true fans of the Xbox remember this series in the same league as other exclusives such as Halo, Gears of War and Forza Motorsport.
