I thought the conduit was too lowly rated.

I find it a great game. I've played through story mode loads of times and it does make sense if you think about it.

Also, the online is awesome even if it isn't a revolution in gaming.

I also agree that brawl is overrated.

I must have watched so many videos of it on youtube that all the fun was taken away.

I agree, but just because something is over rated, doesn't mean its bad, it just doesn't live up to its reputation...[/captainobvious]

What's the difference if Kid Icarus has a bow & arrow?

Well you see kid icarus and ]Star Fox has guns.
Metriod has guns.
Half Life has guns.
Left 4 Dead has guns.
/moar list

Just because a game has guns doesn't make it overrated. Secondly, you named two WWII shooters that are obviously going to have guns. Get over it.

 

[SamXX]

Call Of Duty is highly overrated, good, but overrated.

1. IT'S STILL A GUN DAMMIT.
2. That's what you're implying.

Also:

Overrated:
5. Super Smash Bros Brawl - Over-hyped. Was *censored.2.0*. End.
4. Grand Theft Auto - Hey guys, let's steal cars and shoot people! Yaaaaaaaaaay.
3. The -Insert Music Related Object Here- Hero Series - It's pretty annoying now guys. People moved onto Rock Band because they don't charge as much and you can import every song from the last title.
2. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Good game, but yeah, not the absolute greatest video game known to mankind.
1. The Halo Series - I don't feel an urge to explain myself here.

Underrated:
5. Mirror's Edge - Flew under the radar for most gamer's I believe. It's a great game, the only downfall is how short it is.
4. Meh
3. Meh
2. Meh
1. Meh

I feel lazy.

I don't for 1 reason.

Ocarina of Time deserves its nearly perfect scores. In fact most of its bad scores come from rating nowadays, when it has clearly lost some value do to lacking in graphics and physics.

But for the time it was the perfect game. I still think it is perfect because for what was available they went above and beyond it. Not to mention the story, I mean now everyone knows Shiek is Zelda, but then, you never thought that, most people thought Shiek was a dude. This game shows awesome parallels to growing up in real life, when you are a kid your worries are limited, but then 7 years later, you have a lot to deal with. If you are strong you will conquer your hard times growing up to live on as the same kid you once were. I could go on interpreting things, but I need to get going.

also brawl was over hyped, but I still found it fun and was confused with what people were upset about it... I think mainly people were upset that it didn't handle exactly the same as melee...

 

[easpa]

I'm sorry but I don't agree.

 

[Ricano]

You got them mixed up :V

 

[StarBurst]

I don't like all the new guitar hero games being released at the moment. Why can't we just get all these extra songs as downloads.

I agree comletely.

I was probably six ehn I played it, and I was born in '96. I had NEVER played a game like that, because we had a SNES and TONS of Game Boys. It had a great storyline, and I was very surprised to find out Shiek Was Zelda, I thought Impa was going to be Shiek.

 

[Blue Cup]

Overrated:

1: Final Fantasy VII
Seriously, it's not that great of a game. The characters are all one dimensional with very little personality. Don't even get me started on Sephiroth. I still enjoyed the gameplay.

2: Left 4 Dead
So lacking in the content department that I find it hard to believe that it ever made it to retail when it would could made it perfectly fine as an Arcade title. Meh.

3: God of War
"OMG I GETZ TA SEE BOOBIEZ AND TEH GOOR!!" Thought the young child as he played this lame action-adventure title. I found it highly immature that Sony actually advertised the sex mini game.

4: Final Fantasy X
Guh, such a lame entry in a series that has otherwise had a great track record. The sequel was even worse!

5: Twilight Princess
Muddy graphics, lifeless characters, lame story, low difficulty *goes on and on*

Underrated:

1:Okami
If I had to say anymore, I would be here all night.

2: Wild ARMs 2
Wild ARMs had a great start. The first game made it out the door a few months prior to Final Fantasy VII and was met with great praise, but then so many sad boys and girls got attached to Final Fantasy VII and its cast of cardboard cutouts and Wild ARMs was sadly brushed aside and never managed to regain the recognition it deserved.

Wild ARMs 2 is a souped up sequel, complete with a likable cast, great story, tons of gameplay, a soundtrack composed by series mainstay Michiko Naruke and one of the absolute final battles ever in the history of RPGs. One Winged Angel < Vs. Lord Blazer

3: Secret of Evermore
So many fans of the Mana series blame Evermore for blocking the release of Seiken Densetsu 3 here in the states, but they're all mostly ignorant to the fact that that is simply not the case.

Evermore borrows heavily from Secret of Mana's gameplay, but throws in its own unique magic system, an American vibe and haunting atmosphere.

4: Joe and Mac
Mario fights Bowser and saves the princess, Boo! Joe and Mac fight DINOSAURS and rescue multiple, scantily clad cave women who reward them with a kiss upon knocking the beast unconscious. Mario at best gets a thank you from his uptight damsel, Joe and Mac get a party!

5: Sonic Unleashed for the Wii
So it isn't as feature packed as its HD cousin, but from what it lacks it makes up for in a tighter game with less dilly dallying and better controls.
