Games which have bad reviews and you thought were great.

Ok so post some of the games with Great reviews, but to you thoughtwere a pile of turd and games with bad reviews you thought were amazing.

So lets kick start this with some of the games which got bad reviews andi thought were grand

p.s. by gamespots standadrs anything below an 8 is bad....

Number one-Grandia 2-7.4 at gamespot, which i clearly thought deserved much higher, with its amazing combat and dashing plot.

Number 2-Infinite Undiscovery-6.5 at gamespot, i enjoyed it it has everything you would want, solid graphics,story,gameplay just fantastic

Not Some games which got good reviews i thought was bad

Number one-Mass Effect-8.5 at gamespot, very boring to platy, enviorment graphics were bad, just boring

Number 2-Uncharted 2-9.5 at gamespot, All flash little substance, the story was ok, to many scripted events which felt like you had little controll over what happens, great graphics, same old gameplay we have seen before, no decent boss fights.

Number 3-Bayonneta-9.0 at gamespot, Terrible story, great action, ridiculous music, average graphics.

Legend of Dragoon. 6.4 score but i enjoy the game a lot.

-Serious Sam First Encounter HD 5.0

Same old school arcade action as the original with a sleeker more efficient engine, great optimization and nice graphics. I don't know what the reviewer was taking when he reviewed it but I'd like some of it.

Dark Sector & Bayonetta

Sonic Unleashed - 3.5 at GS.

I honestly believe that score is too low.

I have a huge list here:

-The Conduit

-Soul Calibur Legends (wasn't great, but was good)

-The Simpsons Game Wii

-Sonic and the Black Knight, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Riders

-Enter the Matrix

-007 Nightfire PC

-Zatch Bell! Mamodo Battles

-One Piece: Grand Battle

-Gauntlet Legends and Dark Legacy

-Naruto: Clash of Ninja 1 and 2, Clash of Ninja Revolution 3

More games I'll think of later.

Enter the matrix. PC. Yeah generic, yeah bad console port, yeah unpolished, yeah just plain fun...alextherussian

Lost Odyssey - 7.5

I rate it a 9. Awesome characters, good story, cool theme & beautiful short stories in the form of past dreams.

I'd also say Ninety-Nine Nights deserved higher, though something about it just clicked with me. I can see why many wouldn't like it.

FEAR 2- People were mad about the story? What story?Like the first one had a good story now? I must have missed that. Good graphics/gunplay/AI

Age of Empires 3- I thought it was easily the best AoE.

Halo Wars- Was plenty of fun for me.

King's Field series - extremely deep and atmospheric...I think it's rather funny that GS bashefd those games for the same exact reasons they praised Demon's Souls.

Thats because Demon Souls was a trendy, over-hyped pickthat reviewers were scared to critize fully because they feared being called "n00bs, cause you think its too hard lulz"

pretty much..that's why I don't pay attention to GS reviews/scores...other than to occasionally laugh at fanboys when their favorite game flops.

King's Field is FROM SOFTWARE's series from the PS1-Ps2 era...underappreciated first person RPGs.

Shadow the Hedgehog is a prime example that comes to mind. I don't get why they said that shooting was useless; I found it quite useful.

Nah. I completely agree with reviews on this one. I loved the first one but only got half-way in the second before stopping. It was just bad.

Army Of Two got a 6.5, but its a very fun game to play in Co-op, i would give it an 8.0.

Diddy Kong Racing got like a 6.7 on Gamespot, which is overly moronic given that it was the most original karting game since Super Mario Kart. Apart from that, it was polished, had loads more content than any kart game before it, allowed players to race in cars, hovercrafts, and planes, and even had an adventure mode. It's even more astonishing that they gave the clearly inferior Crash Team Racing an 8.5. Gamespot seem to be the only ones who didn't get it, though, as DKR has about 89% on Gamerankings.

A game I really adore got a 5.1 on Gamespot, namely Rampage: Total Destruction (Wii). Like with basically all other Rampage games, I can understand why they've given the low score. It's technically inferior, the gameplay is incredibly monotonous, and it lacks depth. At the same time, though, I find it highly enjoyable. The character designs are terrific, the game has a good sense of humour, and unlocking everything the game has to offer is as fun as it is tedious. It was my first Wii game along with Rayman Raving Rabbids, and I've never regretted buying it. Thus far I've spent an estimated 75 hours on this game, and I'm sure it will exceed the 100 hour mark in the following months.

I also feel that an 8.3 is way too low for Majora's Mask, seeing as it gave a lot more depth to the gameplay concepts set out by Ocarina of Time, and as such was one of the best (Zelda) games ever.

A game that wasn't rated on Gamespot but was received poorly in general was the New Play Control edition of Mario Power Tennis. I had (and have) a great time with the motion controls, and it's just one of the most addicting games on the Wii.

A 8.5 for Metroid Prime 3 is too low given that it has the best control scheme on the Wii, and is just a magnificent adventure in general. I think IGN came closer with properly rating the Metroid Prime games.

Games that got a too high rating: basically anything they've given a 10/10. Yes, that includes Ocarina of Time. It was great to see how they converted Zelda into 3D, but perfect? No way. Gamespot called it flawless. It wasn't, end of story.

I also think Halo is a bit overrated, though still a great game, but I'm not gonna start that discussion here.

Did anyone mentioin AC1 yet?

I enjoyed Motorstorm way more than MGS 4.

Personally speaking none of the GTA games were AAA material for me either, just not my cup of tea.

From what I can think of, Silent Hill Origins. Yeah the gameplay doesn't really change much from the other SH games before it, and the melee system is kinda lame, but I enjoy it otherwise. And it is awesome to use headphones and play this game in the dark.

Can I get a Mario Kart 64? 6.4 to the greatest Kart racing game of all time?II_Seraphim_II

Nah I think best kart racing game is Mario Kart DS, but yeah the 6.4 for MK64 is just ridiculous. It was a fun game, especially with friends. I would give it a soild 8.

Can I get a Mario Kart 64? 6.4 to the greatest Kart racing game of all time?II_Seraphim_II

Indeed, in fact, one of the best games of all time. Worst review ever. I didn't know a single gamer who didn't like MK64, one of the most played multiplayer games of that gen.

The worst thing is the top review line: "Even with all its bells and whistles, Mario Kart 64 is very likely to disappoint you after about a week." Really?? Try 14 years jackass.
