Most overrated games of all time?

[Mixability]

Sims is definately the most overrated.

Halo is right up there.

Sims was like crack when I first got my PC.

They have a new game coming out called Spore, where you start as a single celled organism and work up to exploring the galaxy. No .

4. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty: Never played it. No idea.

He got this one right too. It's not a terrible game, but it's not any better than the first, which is pretty inexcusable for a franchise making the jump from the Playstation to the PS2.

I think Madden falls into this category perfectly, especially the "next gen" ones. I mean, the 360 versions of 06 & 07 were COMPLETE CRAP. Good graphics, horrible player builds, horrible tackling animations, horrible presentation, laggy online play, etc... They take features away every year then reinstall them in the next year's version and call them "all new." They outsell almost every other game every year, and mostly because there is no other sim style football game out there, since they bought the NFL liscense.

Add a couple tracks from AFI and 30 Seconds to Mars and you have the biggest piece of crap to ever hit consoles.

I am ADDICTED to Madden on PS2, on the new consoles, not so much.
I am not really a fan of Gears of War, it looks nice but I dont really like the gameplay. I also have never really liked Socom or Ghost Recon, but I can understand how other people would like them. I cant believe some people think the Halo series is overrated, it was visually groundbreaking. As far as underated, Ninja Gaiden on XBox was one of the best games I have ever played, I still go back and play it to this day.

I thought it was pretty sweet, especially at the end of the game when the game tries to get you to turn off your PS because it was messing up. But then Snake Eater came out and did make it look like a piece of crap

Black & White was overrated to me

So was the Mortal Kombat series. Even though I liked it, 70% of kids in my class liked it strictly because of the over-the-top gore. It didn't hold a candle to SFII or even Killer Instinct. Don't forget Tomb Raider.

Killer Instinct. O...M....G!

MaMaMaMaMaMONSTER COMBO!

My man, TJ Combo. Probably could still pull his ultimate combo out of my ass right this very second.

That's a big part of what made it great, over the top violence. I never got tired of ripping people's spinal chords out or punching somebody into the Pit full of es. The gameplay might not have rivaled that of SFII but the payoffs, when you won, were well worth it.

GoW looks good, but thats about it. That is really how every 360 game should look. Online play is sooooooo repe ive though, it's the same strategy on every level.


Halo is overrated, the graphics are good. But it has the slowest gameplay. It sells good because little 6 year old can play it. Socom has it's flaws, but the gameplay is probably the best of any online game ever made.

if you used the speed code at the fight screen, riptor was the sickest guy in the game if you could move your fingers fast enough

Some of these lists are pretty farfetched the ones that have caught my eye are:

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Street Fighter series
all Final Fantasy;s - except Tactics.

Totally disagree.

WTF Tactics.

[monosylab1k]

We're all in agreement that any discussion of the "Greatest Game Ever" immediately begins with Tecmo Super Bowl and then everything else is second place and on, right?

MGS2 gameplay was damn good. I think the prob for me was the ed up, convoluted storyline. Or maybe it was the fact I borrowed it from a friend and had to return it in a short amount of time. But the story was still messed; the video sequences were longer than the game.

Sons of Liberty storyline is pretty complex, it took me three replays to understand what was going on, also it would help if you have played Metal Gear Solid for the PSX. The MGS series is why we have stealth-infiltration games today, it's the finest product that the genre has yet produce.

they have the arcade version at room 710 in austin. it's on red river st, and works great.

[THE ONE AND ONLY]

Halo 2 online is the most addictive game ever.

Sims is the worst.
Tiger Woods is the most boring.
