1. Halo 3 - ok, Halo1 was alright on the original xbox and PC because it had no competition in multiplayer. But now? Halos outdated. Prehistoric. Kind of like a Babe Ruth. Sure he was good back in the day, but he wouldnt be ? against todays competition. That's how I see Halo. Oh.... and Master Chief is a Samus/Metroid ripoff.


2. Assassins Creed 1 and 2 - they both suck yet remain huge sellers. I know a few ppl who bought it and never even played it, or played for a few minutes and then never touched it again. wtf

    definately, i swear every GTA game is built up of the same basic missions: drive car from A to B in time limit, pick up character while shooting people of rival gang,drive back to start with character--thats like a standard GTA mission you know is in everyGTA game just slightly different in each one

    GTA isnt overrated. GTA 3 was groundbreaking on Ps2.


    The first real open-world game done right. The first game with drug dealers, prostitutes, killing cops, etc. It absolutely set the bar higher for every other game out there to become as big and indepth as it.

    Sure it's lost it's luster after Saints Row and numerous other rip offs. Plus GTAIV was pretty wack IMO since it's just more of the same old ? and they didnt bring anything new to the table, but that just shows how solid GTA 3 was to begin with. Definitely NOT overrated. They need to make it more multiplayer friendly though if they want to remain a popular franchise because that's what ppl are checking for these days.




    Call of Duty isnt overrated either. It's pretty much the perfect FPS game. Ultra realistic and deep. Check CoD4 opening week sales. It wasnt a huge blockbuster like MW2. It got popular by word of mouth, which says alot for it.

    Assassins Creed on the other hand, got popular by massive advertising campaigns and marketing.

    The Halo series - generic super soldier shooter, although I hear the books are pretty good.
    Final Fantasy 7 - I liked the game and all, but it gets much more praise than it deserves.

    GTA. ? clown Mario for being the same when this ? got praised.

    But the Most overrated game of all time is Mortal Kombat. I saw through the blood & the ? gameplay stood out like a fine ? in the wnba. Never understood how someone could play that ? .

    trippin...i loved this game if anything this game was underrated and overshadowed by MW2. it got released the around the same time MW2 got relased. plus the single player campgin in Borderlands was longer than MW2.

    ...

    Some of the replies in this thread are hilarious-- GTA, Mortal Kombat, and Uncharted 2 are overrated?

    LOL

    I agree, GTA IV was boring as ? (Especially near the end of the game where you have to do all the Mafia missions--The ? is this ? , The Godfather?), but both DLC added a lot of ? (back) to the game and made it more fun.

    Oh, and the first Saint's Row, while a good game, wasn't competition for any GTA, just like those half-? True Crime games weren't.

    Mortal Kombat was never 'rated,' let alone 'overrated.' The series has been getting bashed for not being Street Fighter, Virtua Fighter or Tekken for years now, even though people know if the series was more like one of those franchises, people would ? about that instead of actually giving the game(s) a chance. Midway can't win for losing.

    And I won't front, I still play 2 and 3 on occasion, though--Both were/still are good games.

    ...As for saying Uncharted 2 is overrated--...

    ...And ? up the music (now that Michael died, the music'll prolly never be like it was in the first 4 Sonic games [Especially 3]), the camera, the gameplay, the voice acting, the Cutscenes...

    As you can see, I could go on and on with this ? . Sonic 4 better be the ? , too--I doubt Sega can stand to strike out with Sonic again...

    The storyline for single player was very well done. I've yet to see another game so far that filled what U2 did in a story line.


    (maybe with the exception of HR but that wasn't my type of game)

    It was a really really good game, speaking of which I need to go back and finish it on hard. I'm like 1/4 the way through with it on hard lol
