DC:
As far as presentation goes, Shatter is a beautiful game powered by the PhyreEngine that was used to bring Gripshift to the PSN back in 2007. Several other titles are born from the PhyreEngine which is a SCE development tool who's limits have yet to be reached. Shatter is one of the most colorful titles I've played in a long time and it features plenty of effects and eye candy, all while maintaining a silky smooth framerate. I can't say enough about the soundtrack, which is comprised of ninety minutes of electronica created by a New Zealand DJ named Module. The music is perfectly fitting to the entire feel and play of Shatter and perhaps we'll see the tracks available separately in the PS Store someday. All sound effects are also well done, making the entire presentation an impressive package.
Classic brick-breaking arcade game Shatter is getting remastered for modern consoles with upgraded visuals and even more smashing music.

When people think about memorable video game soundtracks, there are a few recurring faces that seem to pop up every time. Final Fantasy, Zelda, and Mario are just a handful of franchises that get the bulk of the love when it comes to notable video game music. BagoGames presents 5 underrated soundtracks that you should give a listen to.
Nier had a fantastic soundtrack, but I don't really know if it would qualify as underrated. I still would have placed it on the list though.
