Overrated Games

I love how you think you know every game i've played. I have cousins with 360s you know. I've played through all 3 halo games AND played some MW2. Don't make baseless assumptions.

people love halo for more than just the story lines.

Look at the pie chart on the right of the page.The green area is campaign, all else is multiplayer. And to put it in scope, there's 15+ hours of campaign.

I have 9 hours played on campaign. and wow, only 7 on multiplayer.... :S

Doing the campaign on legendary chews up so much time. The last level alone took me 2 hours. :S

Overrated:
I say Halo, Call of Duty 4 and onwards, Final Fantasy VII, X, X-2 and maybe VIII, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Guitar Hero/Rock Band, Super Smash Bros. and maybe Metroid.

Underrated:
I say Ace Attorney, Okami, killer7, Hotel Dusk, Cave Story, MadWorld, Muramasa, Little King's Story, Zack and Wiki, Shadow of the Colossus and maybe Viewtiful Joe.

viewtiful joe was widely accepted when it first released, IIRC. then 2 & subsequent releases came out, and no one cared.

Ace attorney's gotten it's mentions, but i'd agree with you, if not only for just the first game.

heard good things of zack and wiki, but haven't played it, myself.

I would argue against metroid being overrated.. except maybe the third prime game. it isn't a whored out series (disregarding the pinball game) but then again, i might just be fanboying.

little big planet is overrated, imo.
also, Killzone, MGS, and let's go with Heavy Rain.

Ah, haven't done that yet. Man, I need to play this game some more. Having a job and going to school really eats away video game time.

I think games like CoD and Halo are overrated. CoD WaW was a bit educational in the history department, but other CoD games are just shooting to me, just my opinion so don't kill me.
I think Okami and similar underreated games need more attention.

Every realistic firstperson shooter clone ever made.
LOOK! You can kill someone with a gun! And in the next game, you can kill them with, wait for it, A DIFFERENT GUN.

This. :< Every Co... Call of Duty. Some Final Fantasies (7, anyone?), even though I love them.

Overrated doesn't mean if you like it or not. It basically means overpopulated.

Not from the people who have it. Maybe people who saw the game we're like, "That game looks terrible. BAD RATING." Maybe they've never played it. 9/10 they probably have, but you never know...

By pretty much every game reviewer. It was not popular.

And yes, the game reviewers play the games they review.

yeah, all those dumb mario sports games suck. Having sonic in it didn't help either.

Both characters separately aren't that bad. But, together, they're just...bleh.

No. They'd be fine in an awesome action game, but no. They decide to do a sports game.
