Games I Like That Everybody Else Dislikes

Endearingly janky in that early-PS2 way that's just impossible to hate, with an authentic sense of adventure and pretty much perfect progression for this type of game. I'll be honest, I hated this show as a kid - I thought it was butt-ugly and reminiscent of the most noxious stereotypes/fads of the late 90s/early 00s. But the way this game uses the show's extreme sports template to essentially create a looney, sprawling Point Break-esque robot eco-terrorism conspiracy is ridiculously fun. There's tons of variety in the gameplay and you can go from chill, cozy exploration sections to over-the-top races to puzzles to shooting minigames to beaming robots with exploding hockey pucks to puzzles to skateboard/rollerblade competitions to jet ski boss fights to diet espionage and... man, it's really good. Plus you can pick your character pretty much at will. A classic.
