Ok, I know these kinds of topics have been made before, but I just wanted to know what games people consider overrated.

And please, if you say a game that's generally considered good(read:most likely every game that will be listed), at least give reasons. :)

Kingdom Hearts, mixing disney with final fantasy was a bad idea from the get-go. Disney isn't serious and FF is serious so for me they don't mix.

I think the GTA franchise is overrated after 3, I'm not too big of a fan of GTA, but play them anyways. I rather just go commit GTA myself rather than play a game about it I guess, but my main reason why I think its overrated cuz its same story same game no matter what in my opinion (the franchise can't evolve in my opinion). Wanted to get that off my chest for those who complain about repetitive games

I Agree about the GTA series being overrated after 3.

Till this day I think 3 was the best in the series. Graphically speaking... :D
Just the look & feel in GTA 3 is superior to the rest of the games that followed.

My only complaint about GTA3 is that you can't punch cars & light posts...
Thats a pretty fun habit of mine in SA.
(Like Jumping on a car and stomping it)

Also, the PC version of SA seems really cool, from what I've seen on youtube.
I watched this guy's movie starring none other than Spider-man! It's prettying F'ing funny.

Burnout 3: Takedown is easily the best racing game out there. That gamespot 9.5 score isnt much different from the USER SCORE of 9.3 (8,068 votes).

DIE!!!!!!!!! ... I mean... I respect your right to express your opinion but strongly disagree with it. =->

I'm going to say Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. It was good but not 10/10 good. Then there's Marvel Ultimate Alliance which I hated altogether.

Time to get your hate on fanboys....FINAL FANTASY games are completely overrated. Boring and tedious. I get more excitement from cutting my toenails. Tactics was solid but besides being pretty, most FF games make gaming a chore and a bore.

Every FF after 9

DMC 2 and 3 ... I don't even wanna talk about these two.

And same goes for the GTA's, after three it just got repetive. I still played them, just for the mayhem, but I actually never finished either of the 2 after GTA 3.

I want to insult you I really do... but I have to respect your opinion, I think MGS should be considered the best game series ever.

-Now on the topic, defintetly GTA:san andreas is the most overrated PS2 game, I mean 9.6? with the horrible graphics, cliché story and poor atmosphere I think it deserves at least a 8.0

FF12 was overrated...

and God of war 1-2 were also, button mashing all over the place, great games still though, but that part of the game always keep me from replaying it a second time.

Okami, I didn't see why it got some many great reviews

I respect your opinions but I think GTA series is one of those few games were being repetative is good.

On to the topic...

God of War 1& 2, Shadow of the Colossus, and all turn-based games. :)

That topic is pointless... One guy will say that Kingdom Hearts it's overrated, other underrated and next one will say that gamespot score it's exacly what it's have to be. It's only depends on our ,,taste"! One likes FPS and hates action-adventure like God of War II and would say that is overrated. Why? Because he doesn't enjoy it as much as fan of genre. Just look on games without your preferences and then give a score. Look at games from ,,further distance" and then rate.

I find it funny how San Andreas is the most overrated just because it has a black guy in it.

If you're looking for overrated games: Halo series, GEARS OF WAR, GTA series, Metal Gear Solid series, Resident Evil series, Jade Empire, KOTOR, Final Fantasy series, Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross, next-gen games in general(especially 360 games), shooters in general, music oriented games, etc.

The few games that deserve their praise:

Ninja Gaiden/Black/Sigma---deserve highest honors

God Of War 1 & 2---deserve highest honors

Shenmue 1 & 2(DC)---deserve highest honors

Metroid Prime

Jet Set Radio Future(it's sort of music oriented but still good)(underrated)

Monster Rancher series(wayyy underrated)

Soul Reaver(semi-underrated)

Gran Turismo

End of list...

Really? I thought Going Commando was good, honestly. Haven't played UYA, Deadlocked or Size Matters.

I'm a bit surprised FF, DMC, God of War, Gears etc. have been listed, but everyone's entitled to their opinions, I guess.

The GTA series is definitely overrated, I find it gets boring after playing for long periods, and I only play it if I am bored and want to play a video game to past the time.

I think Kingdom Hearts without Disney and just the FF characters would've been a much better move for Square Enix and it would've been better in general. The game is still fun but what can we do now, since it was already made...

i think mgs2 should've scored lower and mgs 3 should have scored scored a little higher so 8.7 and 9.3 respectively.

kingdom hearts 1 and 2 should also switch their scores.

i didnt enjoy GTA SA as much as i would have hoped

then there's FF12

oh and games that users and other sites over rated i'd have to say metroid prime 3 and ratchet future

I honestly don't know what's wrong with Jak, R&C and DMC.

DMC 2, I can understand, because that was the WEAKEST DMC game, but 3 was awesome, in my opinion. >>

Kingdom Hearts, i mean Disney characters? I just couldn't get in to that...ever. I like the GTA series though, I've been playing it since it was on the PS1, and each of them were extremely fun, IMO. You gotta admit though, San Andreas did get WAY more hype than it should have, i feel like that was the weakest one in terms of story and characters for a GTA on the PS2.

I'd say Final Fantasy VII. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game, people just think its too good. Also GTA.
