"I might not be the greatest FPS player on the planet (I'm looking your way, Ku'ulei), but I do know when a project has trouble following through on a good idea. Binary Domain is that kind of project: it starts out fine, has a few interesting bits and pieces, but doesn't take those ideas through to fruition. It's just not very-
Wha-? What're you doing in here? You're not supposed to b-*SMACK* Sorry, don't hurt me! Y-you're… you're actual Yakuza!? Wait, your programmers are Yakuza Studi… oh, crap! I wasn't about to say anything bad, I promise! I mean, I love this game! It's the best… it's… it's really good!" - Kevin Schaller
GF365: "Here are our picks for the ten most underrated third-person shooters that you might not have played before or even known about."
Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10
I hope one day we get some remakes for the following
The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)
Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time
I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.
The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.
The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.
Here's hoping for an amazing sequel
Step into a dystopian world full of robots and cyborgs with Binary Domain – the sci-fi shooter game from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. Let's revisit this classic!

pretty solid third person shooter played from start to finish, also there is another great third person shooter game from that time and very unique called Inversion.
Inversion was cool. It was made by the same team behind TimeShift, another really cool but flawed shooter.
Developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, the makers of the Yakuza games, Binary Domain is an extremely underrated cyberpunk third-person shooter. Directed by Toshihiro Nagoshi, the mastermind behind the famous Yakuza series, the game is quite different from his previous works. Nagoshi stated that he wanted to explore the themes of life, more specifically through the use of robots. It’s a cyberpunk-themed game, and the game has interesting views on technology, robots and how society would behave in such a world. There are numerous references to other cyberpunk works and fans of the genre will be pleasantly surprised.
^Agreed
This was such an underrated game. I liked the story and some of the action scenes were really good.
I've always wanted to play this game. Huge fan of Vanquish and a few of my friends have always recommended trying this, too. I think I even have it on steam and PS3 but just never made time :( The backlog struggle is real.
I'm looking at my copy right now. I got rid of a bunch of 360 games years ago but I just couldn't part with this one. It was really something special. I've recommended it to several people over the years and almost all of them have never even heard of it.
This is not up for Nagoshiaton.
"Big Bo is the biggest stereotype in gaming since Barrett in Final Fantasy VII. Seriously, he's nice, but otherwise he's just a big-gun-toting mess. Is this what you guys thought constituted Americans? It's insulting, really."
Sure , true and ok , but i dont recall most folks having issues with everyone in stuff like Gears of War sounding like retards . You have issues with Big bo , but i guess Cole train is a multi-layered cake with rich and complex flavors ?
Anyway i just feel that reviewers often nitpick everything they can in Binary Domain , just cause they can , and because it's such a low profile and underdog title . As if they are letting go of all the rustration they had on blockbusters they didnt have the ball to criticize properly .
So basically they bust the chops of the smaller titles , while giving free passes to the big dogs
Reviewing at gunpoint must be hard.
