I personally think the most over-rated game was the .hack series. It is a good game, and has an OK story, but it just wasn't what everyone made it out to be. Final Fantasy X-2 was a pretty big let down too, but it did have some pretty big shoes to fill.
Over-rated?

I'd have to agree w/ all FF except FFV and FFT. too bad they didnt even get as much hype as the others.just cause a game has some movie-like cut scenes doesnt make it good...nuff said

I completely agree with BOMEz... Halo2 and Fable were not nearly as great as they should have been.

i would sy doom 3 it was much graphics and not too much beyond it and maybe half life 2.half life 2 was good but too over rated only because of the half life name.

No. Paper Mario rules. SMRPG is a disgrace to Mario, to RPGs, and to video games in general.maybe paper mario sucked, but super mario rpg was frigging awesome.

I'm gonna have to agree with Bomez also. I found Halo 2 and Fable both to be extremely overrated.

The most over rated games are the Halo games. They're just plain old normal shooters like on the PC. Dual wielding has been here for a long time and nothing is new in that game. I wonder why people like it so much.

Golden Sun is definitely at the top of my over-rated list as well. It's got an interesting game engine, but whomever wrote the script should be ... well ... ... bad things should happen to him/her Legacy of Goku I & III should be scraped and forgotten (not to mention the commercials for III were dumb) as well.

I agree that the Doom 3 hype died down soon after, when people started realizing that it got quite boring - look, shoot, look shoot. Not much for story or strategy.Actually, I heard a lot of people rooting for FFVIII here on the forums. But it obviously didn't do so hot in sales as its predecessor (FFVII), so... maybe that classifies as being overrated, maybe not.Halo 2 was supposedly better in single-player than in multi-player, which is why some people might have been complaining.And last but not least... Sid Meier's Pirates got really good ratings, but it got old very very quickly

The original halo was NOT over-rated. I speak as a programmer that the Artificial Intelligence in that game was legendary. It may not have seen like much, but what you witnessed were enemies that worked on instinct and not some simple script where they walk back and forth like Quake and MGS. The enemy sprites were able to form minute and subtle strategies based on the situation at hand and not by some laws of physics inputed by the programmer. Halo 1 is worth it's weight in gold.The most over rated games are the Halo games. They're just plain old normal shooters like on the PC. Dual wielding has been here for a long time and nothing is new in that game. I wonder why people like it so much.

Dnasty - out of curiosity, which game would you say has the best AI, overall?Another overrated game (in my opinion) that came to mind - a lot of people like Final Fantasy X-2, but I think it was a little disappointing. I'm guessing most people just enjoyed looking at the hott chicks, and didn't judge the gameplay as much (I do admit, though, Yuna was pretty fine :whistle2: )
