YOUR most overrated/underrated game of all-time!

Re: YOUR most overrated/underrated game of all-time!

My most underated:
Kengo on x360-The mission modes aren't great and the absence of an online mode is a bad game decision but I simply love the one on one sword fighting against a human or cpu.
Enclave-This game is very difficult and it certainly had some gameplay issues but I enjoyed it alot and the graphics for the old xbox were very good.
Circus Maximus-Better collision detection, elimination of some of the corny dialogue and a co-op campaign could have made the game a lot better, but i enjoyed it. It made for a great multiplayer (2-4) game as you really had to communicate with your partner to do well around the course.
Phantom Dust-simple and strategic fighter

Why do you think Rockband is overrated? I've never played it but was always interested in it, I've played Guiter Hero 3 and it was fun but too hard, I'll prolly enjoy the drums on Rockband

OVER-RATED: Boom Blox (Wii) - The Game Informer crew continues to sing its praises. I hated it.

UNDER-RATED: Bottom of the 9th (PS1, made by Konami) - Anybody remember this one? The most immersed I ever got into a season mode until H.H. 2004.

Idk really. I really don't like how the notes are displayed and just enjoyed GHWT more than Rockband 1 or 2.

I played it at a friend's house for about an hour. It was mildly entertaining.

After thinking about it for a while, the MOST overrated game of all time, bar none, is:

Final Fantasy VII

The only people who think this is the greatest Final Fantasy, or greatest RPG, are those who only started playing RPGs with this title, i.e. the Sony generation.

LOL you are actually right! That was my first ever RPG an I thought that was the greatest game I've ever played...I never got past the 1st disk tho and up untill last year I've been trying to find that game so I can finally finish it but failed to get a working disk, I even was tempted to get a Japanese copy from playasia.com....long story short, i'm now following a play thru by this guy on YouTube(love my iPhone!) and I realise the game isn't that great...awesome story tho

Strange - because I played plenty of RPGs before I even touched Final Fantasy VII; and I think it's by far the best in the series.

In fact, I'd go as far as saying that the Final Fantasy series as a whole is greatly overrated, and VII is the only good game in the series... Although, some of the Pre-VII games were good; but all the ones after it are crap.
