There are many games in my opinion that were either Under or Over-Rated. These games are not Neccesarily Exclusives

Over-Rated:

Demon's Souls

Modern Warfare 2

Flower

Under-Rated:

inFamous

Borderlands

DiRT 2

Tekken 6

Does anyone else have their own opinions?

tekken 6 isnt under-rated it just sucks compared to its ps2 days. InFamous has anoyying side missions. Uncharted 2 is over rated because everyone is jumping on the band wagon. Under rated would be modern warfare2 because it only sold 10million copies on release date.

Seriously whats with the bashing of KZ2 controls? I loved them. Not only that but theres different layouts, you can change sensitivity settings, and they even added High Precision mode to be more noob friendly. Anyways....

Killzone 2 was pretty overrated. Not because of the controls, I never complain about the controls (Except in Bad Company. The vehicle controls suck because X is accelerate and I'm not able to look around with the R stick.) Underrated? Brutal Legend, hell, it's NOT EVEN BEING MENTIONED IN THIS THREAD

I definitely believe that Flower is underappreciated. It has some good scores out there though.

One thing that bothers me, are some of the PS3 owners I've talked to. They're typical high school MW2 fanboys and I asked them about Flower and they gave me the response, "Why would I play some fruity game like Flower? MW2 is the only real game out there." Yeah, right :roll:.

underated : uncharted 2 - the bar has been raised period. its an experience you just don't get with any other game.gameplay wise its your standard tps, but where it shines is the polish and the depth that they go to to emerse you into this character and story. it really is like being in a movie. i wouldn't call the game innovative at all but it is an experience you just can't get anywhere else.

overated: demon souls- atlus can make a great rpg just look at the personna series. this is why this game baffles me. its like a developer whose never heard of or played an rpg in their life made a hack and slash and thought it was an rpg. theres really nothing new here and nothing in this game that i haven't experienced before. also for a ps3 game the graphics were lacking severely, and its blu-ray you think theyd be able to get a ton more in game dialogue in there.

Uncharted 2 is neither Under-Rated or Over-Rated due to the fact that it is a game of epic proportions and the game has been given enough praise it deserves

i dont understand people saying MW2 is overrated... its in every way imaginable better than its predecessors, and isnt that what everyone wanted? or did you guys want them to completely redo the entire CoD formula?

Overrated = MW2 (Sp is so short... and MP does't compensate for that.

Under rated = Sigma 2 (Great game)

First of all demon soul was created by software atlus has nothing to do with the game only to publish it, have you ever heard from software before maybe not most certainly not. Also uncharted is one of the most overrated game of all time behind gta 4 there comes uncharted 2 I was expecting brilliance and when I was finishing the game I almost when to sleep because of the frustrating controls and boring gun play it dint raised anything, the only positive thing I can say that it has great graphics and good dialogue that is it. Also demon soul the game dint needed anymore dialogue the story of the game is represented by its atmosphere you can say the best thing about demon soul is that the story is none existent there fore the world inside each realm has to back for it story and motives. Also then again you know nothing of what your talking about why you mention personna series it has nothing to do with software so really I may understand that you disagree with my comment on uncharted and that ok it fine for me but you come and talk thing that you are ignorant to like saying the game was from atlus and that is why people like it in other words well you are a fool my friend.
