Overrated - MGS

Underrated - Pokemon, eventhough it scores well, too many people think they're for kids. Its core gameplay is way too complicated for children and it annoys me to see it ignored.

Overrated: Halo, GTA. Never understood the appeal of GTA at all, and I understand why people LIKE HAlo, but it's an average game at best, hardly worthy of the score and praise it gets...

I;m assuming one of the reason you stated them underated is since not a lot of people know about them,.

By this logic, any game that scores in zelda range (8.8, 9.3) should be played "at least once" by everyone.

What im getting at is, the guy told him to buy a wii and go play like 4 zelda games because they are appearently THAT GOOD. What im saying is, what makes zelda any more speacial than the dozens of other high scoring video games?

Zelda is now a tired system with weak plot, weak combat, weak exploration, and yet is held on this pedastal thanks to nostalgia. Atleast galaxy revived mario. zelda hasnt changed in 10 years.

ok, I understand what you're saying there. Buying a Wii and all that is extreme, agreed 100%. And it's not the scores that zelda gets that makes people think it;'s so great. It's that it's an old AND great series that has had a large impact on the gaming industry.

True, i wont deny zelda's impact.

but yea, basically it was people like him and his reponse which lead me to call zelda overrated. They are good games, but obviously not everyone has to think they are the second coming.

glad we agree though.

JPOBS

Same, and, I agree. Not everyone has to think Zelda=God, or for that matter even like Zelda...afterall, everyone has their own prefence. Just one of those games, due to it's impact, everyone should just play once. Not play through once, just for like 30 minutes or an hour. Just one of those series I tihnk everyone should try once. Like Final Fantasy or Mario. And I don't mean the 3D final fantasies, I mean the old school ones. I-VI.The 3D ones are good, but not nearly as good as the old ones, nor did they have as much as an impact.
