What is the most hyped game of all time?

I'd say Super mario 3

twilight princessCaseyWegner

no way, super mario 3 beats it, they made a freaking movie just to advertise that game.

The Wizard. Oh god that was a terrible movie. But it had Super Mario Bros. 3.:)Sir-Marwin105

I loved that movie when I was a little kid. I should watch it again.

well if you are talking abuot SW you probably are right.

Halo 2 probably.Panzer_Zwei

not even close to halo 3

Right now it's Halo 3...if that one flops-WOW!Nova_Mongoose

all these guesses are sad. Just look at the record books. It's HALO2.akuma303x

it wont be next month, records will change, that is a fact.

Are you saying which game has received the most hype or which game was over hyped?

Because received the most hype goes to halo 3 (it has its own mountain dew nuff said) but I think it will live up to most of it.

I think over hyped goes to twilight princess hands down.

Zelda TP, Halo may get more press attention but TP was hyped high AAA-AAAA by a huge number of people and even Miyamoto called it the best Zelda game ever. And then when that review hit, well lets just say I'm glad I'm not a mod.PBSnipes

lol, they are saying now that phantom hourglass is the best zelda ever. hope its not tp all over again.

Halo 3 is being really hyped, especially now that Mountain Dew is making a friggin drink for it.

Weird no one has mentioned HL2, I know it was a 1 platform release, but that got hyped like crazy.

Duke Nukem Forever, simply for being hyped for 10 years.tomarlyn

it hasnt been hyped in forever, no pun intended. no one really cares about it anymore.

In System Wars terms, it's either Twilight Princess or Halo 2. For both games, an incredible number of people were guaranteeing 9.7+ scores, because they were going to be even better than their predecessors. In both cases, the hype wasn't fully delivered on.

Halo 3 may have its own soda, and may have a larger ad campaign, but there are many more reservations about the title on the forums than there were for Halo 2.

probably from the craptacualr reviewing gamespot has turned to. harsher or not, i see half of the once "guarenteed" AAA games flopping here on gamespot. something like this would have been unthinkable a few months ago.

the crazy thing is, halo 3 is predicted to make upwards of 150-160 million plus in 24 hours.

Would it have?

In 2004, the PS2 had a stellar lineup of games set to go. Metal Gear Solid 3, Jak 3, Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal, and more. The only PS2 exclusive game that reached AAA during that holiday season was San Andreas, which would later be ported. Even GT4 in early 2005 wound up flopping.

Super Mario Sunshine flopped like a fish. Jade Empire flopped. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory flopped.

Gamespot being hard on games isn't really a new thing. Before 2001, the high end of the scale was used relatively frequently (Tekken 3, Soul Calibur, 2K Sports series, THPS series, etc.). Since THPS3, a score above 9.6 is exceedingly rare, and games that score well in other places get flopped all the time.

This isn't some kind of new trend, and I don't know why people think it is.

i think the exp was 40 dollars off the shelf in most places. not sure though.

maybe because a lot of those games were overhyped? i could have told you that ratchet and clank or jak 3 wouldnt have delivered. theres a difference between mass overhyping and gamespot cruelty. the hard thing is figuring out which is in effect for each game.mtradr43

Ratchet and Clank 3 has an AAA average at Gamerankings. So does Metal Gear Solid 3. So does Shadow of the Colossus, another game that didn't make AAA here. It isn't like these are bad games.

Gamespot has always been hard on games to some extent.

It doesnt matter if its an expansion pack or not (those usually sell worse anyway)...yes is was 24 hours...it actually sold out over half their stock.

and it doesnt matter if it was hyped or not.

ill give it to you that shadow of the colossus should have been rated higher. mgs 3 i didnt like so much due mostly to the controls and the fact that the camo system was almost worthless.
