Nice that LKS and Killer 7 were mentioned.
Does it have to be a game with no sequel?
Or can franchises which are unique unto themselves count?
If so I would say:
Calm, tranquil, frequently beautiful, addictive and wow inducing.
And this:
The only game I've played which is almost like reading a great crime novel. It makes the stories of most games seem like childish, testosterone fueled, self indulgent wank fests.
It's unique, I mean we're used to it not but remember when it was first unveiled? Aha like black and white?
Not exactly an outstanding game, but one example would be:
Mischief Makers (N64)

...how 'bouts its SNES grandaddy?
E.V.O.: The Search for Eden
I didn't like Michief Makers.
Yeah I guess Hybrid Heaven would be on there, for the combat system. It was rough around the edges but for the N64 a pretty unique game I'll always remember. It was sort of like the N64's Metal Gear game with all the cutscenes and full voice acting and darker vibe.

PERFECT!

ALSO PERFECT!

Dvader said:So many games with sequels in this thread.
Other than a few from Ask and Raven/Aspro... Which ones?
ARRRGGHH stupid site. Saga is different enough to be a side game but its still under the Panzer Dragoon franchise umbrella. I want to see completely original games.
And yeah, my addition to the list is Parasite Eve. Yeah it has sequels but all have different gameplay and style. I'm speaking mostly of the first. Modern day JRPG with random battles yet a hybrid system like Vagrant Story. It's a flawed game but rather epic and one of my favorites, like Xenogears.
And holy shit at some of the FMV. Their human character models mostly suck by today's standards (better than FFVII though!) but almost everything else still looks pretty damn awesome.
