overrated:

halo 3- I think a game should be judged by its single player. Need I say more?

rachet and clank- by gamerankings, and probably by gamespot too. Not a good game, 7.5 flatters it

warioware- great game, but really AA territory. Its scope is so small

[QUOTE="Wii60_FTW"]an 81 for wario ware seems fair.azrealhk
Yes Wario did not deserve the score it got.

So did Halo 3. The big difference is that Halo 3 was hyped like a second coming of Jesus. Warioware was not hyped though it should get a lower score 8.5, but due to it's uniqueness, fun, genre, and good demonstration of the Wiimote, it should get about 8.0-8.5. Halo 3 should have got an 8.5-9.0 like the other FPS games released this year.

I totally agree with Metroid Prime being underrated, it was one of the best games of 2007 and it didn't got any nomination in the GS 2007 awards (not even in the best wii game)

Overrated - Assasin's Creed. I'd give it less than 7/10, it's only fun for a short time imo.

Underrated - PGR4. Liked it more than Forza even.

Most overrated/underrated according to GameRankings?

Overrated:
Super Mario Galaxy
I have this game, and I really like it, but second greatest game of all time? I don't think so.

Underrated:
Gears of War (PC)
It's everything that the 360 version was but better, yet it has 6% less on GameRankings than the 360 version? That's just off...

I have to agree with you on galaxy. The game should have been less linear and more open like mario 64 was. It seems like your path is etched in stone once you select the stage and star. There's no wandering room in that game. I was also expecting planets that were every bit as big and even bigger than a mario 64 stage. The only stages that came close were the ones that didn't even have the gravity effects. Even in those stages your progress was very linear. Still a great game, but NOT best game ever

I think Uncharted isn't as great as everyone is saying, it deserves an 8 but it's just kind of boring some times, and the shooting sections aren't that great either.

Why should a game be judged by less than 25% of its content?
