Good Games That Got Bad Reviews

What game do think deserved a better score than what it got?

Aliens vs Predator 5.5

Dante's Inferno 6.5

White Knight Chronicles 6.5

Dark Void 6.5

If other pl list

AvP is certainly underrated, and you can tell by the big backlash negative reviews of it have recieved, namely the Game Informer review, which is the saddest excuse of journalism out there. The game pretty much got bashed because reviewers seemed to be expecting Alien vs Predator: Modern Warfare, which is not what it's about at all. The game was MEANT to feel old school. It's easilly a 7-8 rated game.

Ive only played WKC and DI and IMO WKC shouldve been a 6 and DI shouldve been a 7.

Ohh dantes infero, though I don't agree with you. It tis your opinion so I must understand.

Alone In the Dark

Army Of Two

Mirrors Edge

Dark Sector

Condemned

Ninja Blade

Viking

The bourne conspiracy

Time shift

Halo Wars. Dante Inferno is also a good game

shadowrun...awesome MP game

All of the ones you listed deserved what they got.

My list is:

- Madworld.
- Boom Blox.
- Monster Hunter games (PSP).

There are some more. Can't think of them though.

Halo Wars. Dante Inferno is also a good game

PAL360

Halo Wars comes to mind. It wasn't perfect, but in no way shape or form did it deserve a 6.5

Halo Wars

Too Human

Lost Odyssey

Crackdown

Mirror's Edge.

Most sources panned the game for being a poor first person shooter... without realizing it was created to be a first-person parkour simulator with shooting elements. It was a very ground-breaking game for the first-person perspective, and most people wrote it off as bad or mediocre.

Syphon Filter 2.

Much better than the first game, with many improvements and yet received (especially here on Gamespot) a very low score and panning review.

It just goes to show that you cannot trust reviews from other people.

Dante's inferno... the main complaint I have with the game is that it was too short and some of the platforming isn't balanced properly but other than that it's a great game.

Maybe Halo Wars, GS was slightly critical.

Halo Wars is still one of my most played games on xbox.

Good games that got bad reviews? What does that mean? Aren't you really just saying "Games I personally like but can't handel that someone else gave it a bad score and I can't be bothered to read or discuss the actual article review because that would be too much work"?

Of course those games deserved their low scores. They are clearly just derivative games that aren't worth the sixty bucks. When games like Uncharted 2 show you how it's done its tough to settle for games like Dark Void and AVP.

No I'm asking if people think that a certain game got an unjustifiable low score. I suppose you think GS is immune to errors and is never wrong right?Shielder7

That game...when drunk...or high, is incredible.

I like Dark Void, Dante's Inferno, and AVP. The first and last had some technical faults, however, which brought down the experiences, but both were 8's or so as far as enjoyability goes.

Mirror's Edge deserved much more than it got.

[QUOTE="Shielder7"][QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"] Opinions technically can't be wrong. Certain things are facts such as "screen tearing" and "controls don't work." When a game is broken that's not an opinion that's a fact. Skittles_McGee

Parts =/ Full Game and just because a game got a low score doesn't mean any of it was broken. You guys need to take a chill pill I know Game Spot is your god but it was just a simple question asking if anyone thinks a game got an unjustifiable score and since some games get mixed reviews I don't see why your getting all bent out of shape. Sorry I questioned Game Spot I was foolish to think they could be even slightly wrong......

Mount & Blade. The game got 6.0 on Gamespot only because of the simple visuals, the lack of cinematographic feel and the overhall low production values. Gameplay-wise it deserves a 9.0. I had more fun playing Mount & Blade than playing most of the mainstream games released lately.

If it was up to gamers every game would score a nine or ten. Just accept the fact that many games are average and yes you can still enjoy them but a job is to tell people if a game is worth sixty bucks or not. None of those games are worth sixty bucks. Bread_or_Decide

[QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"][QUOTE="Shielder7"] I hate to break it to you but unless there's a game stopping glitch or bug they can't be considered broken and screen tearing happens in the best of games like Demons souls try again. Shielder7

That all aside, he is technically correct. There are things in reviews that are simply facts. As a reviewer, its their job to point these things out. Nothing more. They don't say "Oh, you will hate it", they say what flaws it has and if said flaws won't bother you, then the review has still done its job. Reviews are to inform you of what to expect from a game.

Now please, respond in a civil manner instead of claiming I'm "bent out of shape" or something other nonsense.

I agree 100% of Syphon Filter 2! That game is godly! I played it again about 3 months ago on PSP, so much better than the first and just as good as the PSP iterations IMO.

Definitely GTAIV.Fuhgeddabouditt
