Most overrated, fairly rated and underrated game this generation? (56k)

Overrated- Gears of War. It's still AAA in my book, but not 9.6 or GOTY.

Fairly rated- No More Heroes, Orange Box. Both amazing games that deserve the scores they got.

Underrated- Super Mario Galaxy (it deserved 10 imo :P). But seriously, Fire Emblem:Radiant Dawn. Deserved at least 8.0. Same with Advance Wars: DAys of Ruin. That was a AAA game to me.

Did you just say Half Life was overrated? You are asking for it :|

not if that is your opinion. anything else is ok

Under Rated

Call of Juarez (Western Themed FPS)(Mediocre reviews - Has some boring and tedious sections, but not that bad, it never gets old shooting dudes in the face whilst reading the bible to them) ( also on the PC in Direct X 10 this is one of the best looking games out, and isnt that far behind crysis visually in my opinion)

Resistance (Should have scored AAA here, especially since PDZ did, 40 Player Online.)

Rachet and Clank (Gamespots review ???)

Uncharted (Another overly Cynical and Critical Review, deserved at least another 0.5 on the score

Deserving

Call of Duty 4 (Well ballanced online, but let down by short single player, not perfect, but an amazing game.)

Halo 3 (Same as COD4 in that it has great Online, and disapointing single player)

Gears of War (One of this gens most iconic and cinematic games, not perfect, and again it has short single player, for a game with such small levels its nothing short of downright epic at times, no pun intended)

Mass Effect (Absolute masterpeice let down by frustrating bugs and framerate issues, deserving of the praise it gets in the forums)

Overated

Im not going to go there, ill upset too may sheep.

Assassins Creed (9? I think Gamespot got the Uncharted Review mixed up with this one, nice game, rather repetitive, but this isnt a 9 though especially when Uncharted , R & C and Resistance didnt score as high as this)

Portal (Not bad by any means, its awesome, but so overated though its crazy, you'd think valve gave everybody who goes on about this game half a millions dollars they are so rabid, half life 2 was a much better experience)

Overrated: Halo 3

Fairly rated: SMG

Undertrated: MP3

[QUOTE="pro-nathan-07"]hey thrones im really starting to think you dont even own a 360.. your honestly 1 of the biggest ps3 fanboys on system warsthrones

...I praised Halo 3 as one of the greatest games this generations and..I hate the 360? Contact me on Xbox Live, I'm currently playing Gears of War until GTAIV comes out.

EDIT: In fact, I praise the Wii and PC alot as well. Along with 360..hmmm...Fable 2. I just find most of the 360 fanboys annoying on these forums, so contradicting them is one of my highest priorities :D

Over Rated

Under Rated

I'm sorry but I disargee. Gears Of War is an awesome game and far superior to Uncharted.

I think Halo 3 is the most overrated game this generation. It's okay, but it's not ground breaking in any shape or form.

PurpleBlueGreen

Obviously, these are out of what I have actually played enough to justify the positions.

Most overrated:

This game sucks super monkey balls. (I apologize)

Most fairly rated:

Rave reviews everywhere and it deserved it.

Most underrated:

Come on, Gamespot! 8.3?

Oh, I'm sorry! Here, let me put Gears of War in the "underrated" section. :| Seriously, how the hec am I a cow? I just put Halo 3 in the "fairly rated" section. :?

Honestly, how could Uncharted have multiplayer? I might understand the "no replay value" part but why does online have to be important for Uncharted? It's mainly an action/adventure title anyway.

Over = Gears

Fairly = Zelda TP

Under = Ratchet and Clank

You basically said "Uncharted (no replay value or online)." Did I miss something or was it a mistake?

Man, look at all the FPS' on the lists! Is that all our gen is? Damn!

Anyway

Overrated: Gears of War, Half Life: The Orange Box (Portal and TF2 are the only good things to me, I can't get into Half-Life and I tried hard to like it, it's just not for me), Lost Planet, Army of Two, Guitar Hero 3 (horrible game that ruined the series with me)

Fairly Rated: Halo 3 (yes, I said it, for me adding Forge, Four-player online coop, and Theatre mode along with keeping records of all your kills on Bungie.net is worth of AAA scores), Brawl, Crisis Core, Oblivion, Call of Duty 4

Underrated: Kameo: Elements of Power, Call of Duty 2, Condemned.

Tons more in the overrated category that I can't think of.

I'm suprised so many people have said Bioshock was overrated why do you say that.tb254

[QUOTE="MetroidPrimePwn"]

I can't tell you about overrated or most fairly rated, but I can sure tell you what the most underrated game (by GS) of this generation is.

Seriously. A 6.0 because its too hard? Its not even that hard until the final few battles...

tman93

Well, I wouldn't go that far. 1Up's Trauma Center: New Blood review was far worse. They gave the game a 5 because they couldn't get past one level without needing to use Co-Op, and the entire review was spent whining about how they couldn't get past that one level.

Now that you mention it i haven't played system shock two

(goes off to spend who knows how much on ebay.)

Bluestorm-Kalas

OVERATED: Assasins Creed (so overated) , Portal

FAIRLY RATED: Halo 3

UNDERATED: Crackdown, Mass Effect, Resisitance

overated-gears, bioshock, halo3, orange box, vegas, resistance

fairly rated- cod4 (not here though), graw

underated- shadowrun, viking, tench z, dark sector

Overrated: CoD4, Resistance (couldnt stand that game) orange box (consoles)

fairly rated: Halo 3, Assassins Creed, Orange box (PC)

underrated: anyone who doesn't say Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn here needs to be castrated. Also Uncharted and Ratchet & Clank

Overrated- I'd say Oblivian or Virtua Fighter5

Just Right- Bioshock- deserved all its accolades and resides in a class all its own in atmosphere

Underrated- Mass Effect- I can't believe that so called "reviewers" missed the depth and replayability of this game and harped an a few frame dips. The story, the sophisticated gameplay, the strategy... everytime I beat the game and the credits roll I litteraly chuckle outloud at how they missed the boat so badly on this game... Is it with flaws, yes, should it be editors choice, absolutly...

overrated = halo 3
fairlyrated = heavenly sword
underrated = hotel dusk

I'd love to believe that most of the responses in this thread are genunine but it seems like a lot of replies are just another way for backers of certain consoles to get back at the others. This is supported by being able to look at someone's avatar/signature and correctly guess which games they will say are over rated, fairly rated, and under rated or being able to look at the games someone has listed as over rated, fairly rated, and under rated and correctly predict what will be in their avatar/signature.

Finally listing games from only one console as over rated is understandable but when you list like 3 games from only 1 console as overrated, and then 3 games from another console as underrated you really give yourself away.
