Neir, I guess story, characters, and sound mean nothing to reviewers, but they mean alot to me.
The Neverhood. Panned by reviewers because it requires keeping a VERY detailed outside journal/notebook of random things you notice in the game, and is unfairly designed. I loved it, though. Once I dug out the notebooks Dad and I kept when we were trying to beat it and I was like 6 or something, it only took me two hours to finish. The only adventure game I've ever enjoyed.
Deadly Premonition. I remember reading a review giving it 2/10 talking about the story being entertaining but everything else letting it down. I decided to overlook shoddy controls and archaic design decisions and picked it up for £15. Utterly adored it.
Oblivion. The game might as well be rated 1/10 for all the hate it receives here. People fail to see just how ambitious the game is compared to even Morrowind and compare the graphics as though they were released in 2010 and not 2006.
In terms of Review Scores, particularly the Gamespot Review:
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (Gamespot gave this a 7.7. It is one of my favorite RPGs of the past decade 2000 - 2009, definitely the most atmospheric.)
In terms of reception from gamers on forums and the amount of hate it seems to get on forums:
Grand Theft Auto IV (my favorite GTA game in the series next to Vice City)
Tribes Vengeance (great SP campaign, it was from the same developers that made Bioshock, Tribes Vengeance was released in 2004, in a year that was already crowded with quality shooters, and T:V still stood out for it's great single player campaign. If there was any mistake this game made was putting the word "Tribes" in the title, since it was very different from what series fans had wanted...particularly a multiplayer focuses game. It's a shame we'll never get a sequel to the story.)

Are you being sarcastic? Oblivion is one of the most fan-adored RPG's of all time, and a critical darling as well.
Deadly Premonitions has got to have the most polarizing reviews from critics for a game that I've seen. Either way, I thought it was a blast to play as well. Another game that I own and liked was Battlezone Rise of the Black Dogs for the N64. I remember that got hammered by a few critics.Deadly Premonition.

From the critics: Mercenaries 2: World in Flames. Yes, it was buggy and the story and voice acting were mediocre, but it was a lot of fun to play.
From gamers: Far Cry 2. Fantastic game. One of my favorite shooters. Resistance 2 as well, it beat Fall of Man in every way.

No he isn't. Oblivion is also one of the most-hated games of all-time. There are A LOT of people who just can't get into it. That would include me. I hate it with a passion. So there you go. At least I'm willing to admit it. And it starts with the gawd awful engine...Lair, the game was great once you learned the controls one of my favorites the only snag is learning the controls is really hard
I don't feel like going through all my games to see the ratings, but usually games from NIS don't get high score even though they're my fav. games. Also the Warriors series gets horrible scores even though I love them (just plated DW7 today btw ^^)
Edit: i just saw that I can sort the games. The worst rated game I loved to play is Hyperdimensional Neptunia, got a 3.0, plated it, can't wait for HN2
Probably Sonic Unleashed. I have no idea how it got a 3.5 on Gamespot. That's lower than Sonic 06. How on Earth can it be worse than Sonic 06? I loved Sonic Unleashed, it should've been game of the year for 2008. (Either that or Tales of Vesperia.) But still, Sonic Unleashed isn't nearly as bad as most people make it out to be. Sure the nighttime stages were boring, but they grow on you. But the daytime stages were so much fun, they made up for the fact that playing as the werehog felt like a chore.
Splatterhouse, Alpha Protocol, Bullet Witch, Deadly Premonition (My 2010 GOTY along with Heavy Rain), Nier, The Last Remnant (I own both the PC and 360 versions), Infinite Undiscovery, Clock Tower, Phantasmagoria, Clive Barker's Jericho, Calling, Epic Mickey and Medal Of Honor (It may be short and flawed but the atmosphere and game mechanics are pretty cool).
Dance Dance Revolutio Mario Mix, it sucked, but I have it!
Oh, and Super Mario Sunshine. I absolutely loved that game, and fail to see why others hate it.
The Xenosaga series I guess. It didn't get bad reviews really, but it was pretty much hated by the general gaming community as well as hated by pretty much the entire Xenogears fanbase for not being Xenogears 0, ultimately failing horribly on the third entry saleswise and ultimately getting cancelled. Pretty much no one liked it. I loved it, especially Episode III.
game reviews are generally very high in ratings. its pretty rare that i feel a game is horribly underrated in terms of reviews (overrated is another thing completely, but im sure there are bazillions of "overrated" threads), so mine will be pretty weak:
madworld got great scores in multiple major review sources. however, it got a 7.5 here which isnt quite the glowing review i would have given it. oh yeah, i went there :P
NIER. One of the best games I own & I'm definitely proud I own it. Best OST & story this generation in my opinion. I'm so glad I managed to find out about it & bought it regardless of the little attention & poor reviews. It makes me wonder how many other amazing games I've missed because of this.
It has got to be one of the buggiest, worst controlling games I've ever played. For some reason I had a good time with it, from time to time--even realizing it was pretty bad. I don't remember it's release date, but I want to say it pre-dates any GTA.

funny, earlier today I met a guy in college and I told him that FFXIII is one of the best RPG games I've played and then he started saying "you're not true FF fan" although I've been with the series since 7 and went back to play 3 on DS which is clearly FF1 lol
I don't understand the hate on this game.
well, here's my list.
Demon Souls, I found this game really fun, but seeing some players' reviews in this site saddens. They actually hate the game for being hard and cluncky in controls..
Killzone 2, well, there are people who like this game and I like it for its realism aspect, the way you're carrying your gun and it actually has a weight. But people started calling it the PS3's halo... -_-
Again with FFXIII, a game that sold 5.5 M for the name and then getting the same treatment as X with a direct sequel ..? how's that a disappointment? of course they tried something new and failed miserably, but I like new and fresh ideas.
