In complete agreement with FFX-2; that just goes without saying... However, to mention another sequel, or continuation rather, Xenosaga Episode II completely pissed me off. Yes, it was gorgeous to look at. Yes, the cut scenes rocked. Yes, the story line still rocks. But christ, could they have spent anymore time on a game that took only 21 hours to finish? I spent 96 hours on Episode I, way back in 2003 when it first came out. Then I wait those two long years, thinking 'it's cool- I'll have another almost 100 hours of playtime; I can definitely wait.' What a disappointment. The supposed extras were about as lame as could be, the bosses were obscenely hard and involved the only time consuming part of the game (masses upon masses of leveling up and in the most boring of dungeons at that- and let me tell you, I love my rpg's. I understand that a good portion of the games involve leveling up, that is if you want to plow through the bosses with ease. But to just get to the point where you barely scrape by, you had to spend five hours of leveling up- it was ridiculous.) The Good Samaritan Side Quest was beyond uncreative. And story development wise, it was pathetic compared to Episode I- 3/4s of the game was spent in memories.And, on one final note of complete griping, the voice actress for MOMO was still the single worst example of voice acting I've ever heard in my life. I wanted to gash out my ears and puncture my ear drums with a coat hangar if only to never hear her speak again. Shion's voice actress was not up to par this go around either. Shame, shame. Oh- and chaos' voice actor...monotone much? What ever happened to the gentle, soothing tone from the first episode?Gar...obviously, I was peeved. For such a long wait, I had hoped to be more impressed.

GTA is becoming damn overrated with each new release. Halo, well part II anyway is another one (half-life is your daddy), but then again this is the PS2 forum. FF progressively becomes more and more overrated. They're aren't bad games, but damn the press gives 'em so much lime light. Finally... almost anything that EA puts out (how many times do they expect us to pay $50 for the same game every year.) I think they bribe mags and sites to get good scores.

Is anyone forgetting how much good scores Return of the King got?? It was the same EXACT thing as the two towers, rehashed. the fellowship of the ring (which for some reason is considered to be horrible, but its better than the return of the king) was better. And medal of honor is always the same thing. I think the only popular series that gets what it deserves would be the metal gear solid series. GO OUT AND BUY THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING AND THE HOBBIT FOR PS2.

I don't think FF is overrated some yes (Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is one of the worst a big let down from Tactics on the ps1) but most of them are damn good but you do have a right to you opinions.Halo 1 and 2 are both the most overrated games in the world my opinion(expectally Halo 2) kings of all FPS my eye.Zelda also very overrated oh how i hate the Zeldas not just one but all. I just can't stand them don't ask my why.

Wow what a list. GTA is the worst offender. FFX-2 and FFTA come in a tie for a close second. Tekken to an extent.

GTA, THUG...and although I think the FF series is great, it really is overrated...with some people you mention other RPG's and they say something like 'Sssh! No! Only talk about FF!' What's that all about??

Anything after Final Fantasy 7 is over-rated, although 8 had some unique ideas... Every Medal of Honor game sucks. Terrible controls that can't decie wheter to be Metal Gear Solid or a real FPS like Black. Superman Returns was listed as a great game too and I threw down the controller in frustration after about 15 minutes...

I hate GTA with a burning passion. I just never found that game to be even the slightest bit amusing.

Yea but I liked the fact THUG2 had the classic mode, where you have to collect skate and stuff. Although after you've done all the levels once in normal mode you don't really want to do them again.

I hate to say it but I have to go with Halo. People treat it as a top series when it was simply a flagship FPS for a new console. Nice graphics and little innovation paved the way.

Alien Hominid is pretty overrated. It's recently appeared on the fifty best indie games list, but it has some serious issues with bullet visibility.
