Overrated:

- SMB:BB: Quite possibly one of the worst Wii games so far. The controls are finicky, its frustrating, the party games are "broken", and it lacks everything that made the Gamecube games fun.
- Zelda VC: I loved this game, but it hasn't aged well at all.

Underrated:

-Red Steel: The controls take a while to get used to, but once you understand everything, its an excellent First-Person Shooter.
-Kid Icarus: One of my personal favorites. The music is great, the graphics (for the time) are great, and everything else is great. Why such a low score?
-Excite Truck: A great game on all fronts. It deserves at least an 8.

Under is Chicken Little, one of the best games and plays just like the Ratchet and Clank series but uses the Wiimote and chuck.

I think Call of Duty 3 on the Wii was underrated, I find it tons of fun.

Overrated:
Super monkey ball BB : more like BS. Main game is frustrating to use, party games are ill-conceived and poorly executed.
Tiger Woods 07 : Vague golfing controls, terrible menu system, commentators are annoying but at least they can be turned off. The crowd sounds get painful after a few minutes of play. Irregular putting, "strange" ball physics. This stinks of a quick port from another system and is best avoided. Recommend you rent before buying!  EA: Please fire your game testers.

Underrated:
Wii SPorts : Still the most fun game. It has little depth but is easy to access. Never tries to be anything more than just a fun game. There are some lessons to be learnt here.

Dragonball Z Budokai: Tenkaichi 2 and Excite Truck are under rated. With a little practice, both become incredibly fun. Well, DBZ is more fun with some friends, while Excite Trucks fun is mostly in the single player.

Under-rated: Sonic Over-rated: Monkeyball. Worst game on the Wii I've played, and I've played 11. It just is so broken, and got rid of almost everything fun about the first two.

Underrated:

Elebits and SSX: Blur

Quite good, even by having some small flaws. The bad thing about Elebits though is the little substance in it to keep playing and the lack of a "maturer", less Katamari-style presentation (way too much childish IMO).

Overrated:

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz

Everyone knows what I am about to say. My opinion is shared by others who posted here...it ain't the GC versions fun at all.

[QUOTE="DTbikerider9"]Underated: EXCITE TRUCK Overated: Zelda TP



My thoughts exactly, although to make EXCITE TRUCK sound more exciting is if you had an explosion gif right after it.

Under-rated: Dragonball Z Tenkaichi Budokai, Excite Truck, Trauma Center.

All 3 games are very fun once you take the time to explore there depths. Especially Dragonball Z. Extremely fun once you get the controls down.

Over-rated: Zelda, Super Monkey Ball.

I really don't understand the fuss over these games. Zelda has it's moments but in no way is it impressive. It's dull and lifeless and the controls are a bit tacked on. And Super Monkey Ball? Avoid this piece of crap at all costs. Nuff' said.

Wii Sports is definatly underrated, not only is it free, but a good game to boot. And to all the people shunning any Zelda game; Shame on you!!!

Underrated:

Wii Sports - A classic!  Best game on the Wii.  Should have been 9.0+

SSX Blur - Alot of the reviews said the uber ticks were broken, these reviews were clearly rushed and the reviewers obviously didnt play the game much..  If they had practiced a bit they would have learned how to do them.  Should have been 8.2-8.6

Overrated:

Excite Truck - I'd give it a 6.0  Very dissapointed, I was expecting something a little deeper.

SMB-BB - Only about 10 of the 50 mini games are fun.  The single player game goes from waay to easy, to stupidly hard, with not much in between.  6.8-7.2

Underrated: Zelda, SSX Blur, and Red Steel 

Overrated: Wario SM (still an awesome game but AA at best, i just rekon that Zelda deserved the AAA and not warioware, and stangely enough i think jeff knows that to) and Rayman

Oh and to those that think SMB is overrated i definately dont agree, i mean yeah some of the minigames suck but that doesnt stop the good ones from being fun, and i thoughly enjoyed the single player.

I feel that Excite Truck is a little underrated on GameSpot. I'd give the game a 7.5. The game isn't shorter than, let's say, Mario Kart: Double Dash, which got an 7.9. The graphics are good, in my opinion, and the game is sweet while it lasts.

Highly underrated are Red Steel and SSX Blur. Red Steel was more like a 7.5 / 8.0 to me and so far SSX Blur is a 8.5 to me, that game rocks so much. It's really bull to say the controls don't work, because they do! It just requires some practise and also some 'will', it doesn't work when you will sit on your couch, being lazy and flicking the control a little bit to make a drawing. I pull off Ubertricks all the time, and it's awesome. The reviewer who did the SSX Blur review here seriously needs to learn to play the game.

Overrated: LOZ TP.... It is my fave LOZ game, but is not my fave wii game... LOZ is basically one of the only games i hear talked about and everyone pushes this game WAAAAY out there..it is a good game but it shouldnt be one of the only noticed games though. Underrated: Red Steel.. Most GS users has nothing but bad things to say about it, i think it needs some more credit than what it has. im not saying make in another over rated game, im saying just check it out some more before totally bashing it.. if you have put manyhours in to it and you still feel that it sucks, well bash away because its your straight , honest opinion.

Underrated:

Red Steel: From the moment I started playing this I knew it was gonna be great and I haven't been proven wrong. Apart from a few glitches this game is awesome.

Wii Sports: Definatley should have got a better score. Wii Sports is one of the simplest games I've played but also one of the funnest.

GT Pro Series: For some reason, the "uber crap graphics" forced reviewers to give every part of this game crappy ratings. The graphics are the only bad part of this game IMO but they're still not that bad. The controls are great, there's a huge selection of cars and some pretty cool tracks.

Underrated - Red Steel (On a small tv the controls actually work :O), SatSR (The controls are easy!), Wii sports (brilliant as a party game) Overrater - Nothing that I've played so far. I see a lot of people saying Zelda is ovverrated. Which is wierd since it does everything better than its 3d predesessors...
