gamers tend not to remember these ones
and we can’t figure out why welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
forgotten third-person shooters for this
list we rank the most underappreciated
third-person shooters that either didn’t
sell well on their initial release or
have since been forgotten over time
people are being attacked by giant
insects we’re sticking to one game per
franchise and we’re also ruling out
open-world sandbox games since those
titles are a genre on their own back in
your cell everything’s under control
number 10 the club expert racing game
developers Bizarre Creations mixed
elements of their driving titles with
violent mayhem and the results were
pretty interesting this club where most
of the game’s action takes place is a
brutal underground gladiatorial sport
where tough guys go head-to-head
while wealthy businessmen place bets on
who will survive
hard features from racing games like
Time Attack events were flawlessly
integrated into the shooters framework
and the combo system makes blowing your
enemies away
pretty damn addictive number nine psyops
the mind gate conspiracy find a way to
get it but be careful these powered are
dangerous why shoot when you can mess
people up with the power of your mind
here you play as Nick Squire an agent
with telekinetic powers who has his
brain wiped by the government so he can
infiltrate a mysterious organization
known as the movement he expects his
voters to be met
besides typical weapons he can use his
telekinetic abilities to throw his
enemies around or pyrokinesis to burn or
blow him up
best of all the games ragdoll physics
make every explosion look pretty damn
sweet think mass effects biotics but
long before that game ever showed up
number eight shadows of the Damned
if mister man a monster wants to play
magnifico what do you get when you team
up Resident Evil Shinji Mikami with
killer sevens and No More Heroes suda51
well you get this absurd action-packed
tale of a demon hunter Garcia Hotspur
who has to save his girlfriend from
terrifying supernatural enemies with the
help of a crude joke telling floating
skull well I’m just saying demons of
photos you really wouldn’t like it that
said floating skull names Johnson spends
most of the game as a torch but he can
transform into a pistol when he calls
himself the boner which fires and sticky
payload he also later gets an
appropriately named upgrade now that is
a big boner number seven heretic two
this fantasy title was the sequel to an
FPS and it showed that the concept
worked equally well through the
third-person perspective like its
predecessor it tells the story of the
elven hunter Corvis but this time he has
to find the cure to a mysterious plague
that turns his brethren into vicious
killers it’s quite an entertaining
journey because the expansive levels are
a blast to explore here instead of
pistols and shotguns
Corvus uses a variety of magic and melee
weapons to dispatch his enemies a rather
unique feature for a game of its time
number six the suffering you hear me
inmate do you hear me give him a chance
close it all though nobody really
mentions this franchise today this genre
is certainly alive and well and you can
see the influences of this gorefest
almost everywhere the suffering tells
the story of tork a convicted killer who
ends up having to deal with enemies far
more terrifying than the law you’ve got
to get me out of here while the gameplay
is still your standard third-person
shooter affair the added tension from
the horror setting and the terrifying
monsters clearly laid the groundwork for
other similar titles to follow
number five win back covert operations
known as operation win back in Europe
many gamers hoped that this stell
shooter would be the n64 s answer to the
Metal Gear Solid games it ended up not
catching on quite as hard as that
franchise but it’s still worth playing
the game uses an interesting cover
mechanic that allows special operative
jean-luc cougar to stick close to walls
and perform quick pop outs to shoot
enemies way before Gears of War ever
graced the scene the game later was
ported to the PlayStation 2 with
improved textures and voice acting that
was well judge for yourself the Gulf’s
system right it can hit any spot on
earth with endpoint actress yep that
pretty much sums it up number 4 Dino
Crysis 2
so what happens when you take the
pre-rendered backgrounds of the first
three Resident Evil games and make a
shooter out of it where you can actually
move and shoot you know one that ditched
the puzzles from the first game and gave
us an all-out Dino slaughter well I
guess you’re looking at the answer this
is a game that really makes you realize
that there is a major lack of good
dinosaur games out there the more
fossils you kill the more extinction
points you get allowing you to acquire
new weapons in a surprisingly good
gameplay loop honestly it’s pretty
baffling that Capcom killed this
franchise I mean it’s not like it was
something absurd like dinosaurs in space
or oh never mind
number three jet force Gemini in the
late 90s rare was to the n64 what
Naughty Dog was to the ps3 and yet this
game didn’t quite catch on as well as
the company’s FPS counterparts despite
the less than intuitive targeting system
the title was way ahead of its time
thanks to its varied gameplay console
defying visuals and a synthetic
orchestral soundtrack helping the three
members of the eponymous team defeat the
evil insect Mizar makes for a pretty
good time especially seeing that one of
them is a dog with a jetpack need i say
more number to vanquish oh yeah this is
Sam DARPA Sam to come along with us
another Shinji Mikami game on this list
and just like shadows of the Damned it
hasn’t had the staying power of his
Resident Evil franchise which as you can
see is kind of a shame although it’s
difficult to master part of the charm of
vanquish comes from its incredibly fun
ARS suit system which allows you to do
cool things like skid at high speeds
across the floor or make massive jumps
into the air
awesome animation and super fast
gameplay made for a good package but it
seemed that no one ever played it I
think I’m gonna need a bigger gun before
we get to our number one let’s take a
look at some honorable mentions
number one Star Wars
shadows of the Empire I just found out
the Empire’s about the ruin our day
as unforgettable as the original Star
Wars movies are gamers tend to lose
track of some of the games like this one
shadows was actually part of a
multimedia project which also included a
novel and a comic of the same name and
it tells the story of – totally not Han
Solo render a smuggler hired by the
rebellion that gets caught up in their
war with the Empire as there is a zero
percentage probability that you will
survive this encounter
I see no risk in informing you
noteworthy moments include an amazing
recreation of the Battle of Hoth intense
third-person combat where you can use a
jet pack and pretty much all of the
iconic Star Wars locations characters
and weapons you know and love yeah
except for lightsabers chances are given
the nature of this topic it’s likely
we’ve forgotten about a few hidden gems
now hold on
what was your name again so let us know
about what third-person shooters you
wish people talk more about and for more
memorable top 10s published daily be
