Why are they so underrated? Most anime games (except DBZ Budokai 3 and Pokemon handheld versions) have terrible scores. Why?

Most anime games were not great as anime shows. PS1's Dragonball GT Final Bout had not great gameplay as PS1's Dragonball Z Legends. Some companies might rush to develop anime games as not great as anime and manga.

Because all anime games are trash and purley there for fan service. DBZ Budokai 3 is the best anime game out there, the Naruto game on the 360 comes close.

Anime games pretty much always suck.

Other than Melty Blood, which technically is based on a visual novel that was only later adapted into an anime (Tsukihime,) there are no exceptions that I've played. Higurashi Daybreak (PC only) is passably decent, but again that's based on a visual novel that was only later adapted into an anime.

Why you ask? Because most of the anime games are just cheap cash-ins aimed at diehard fans. No thought is actually put into developing the gameplay and mechanics.

The problem is that GS's taste isn't the same as everyone else's and that's a fact. The reason why the rate the DBZ and Pokemon games and any anime games is because they tend to get repetitive, nothing new really shows up in sequels and well, it's GS.

That's an interesting point. I see the perspective mentioned earlier in the thread that a lot of the games are for the fans, and not much more than that. But maybe the games would get a higher score, if there weren't the sheer volume of them that there are.

In the case of Pokémon games, your standards are probably too high. None of them scored above a 9, but that doesn't mean they're bad games.

Also, they're not based on an anime. The anime was based on the games.

Have you even played some of those "anime" games. They aren't really what you call quality games.

Anime fans will buy the games no matter how good or bad, so why spend the money to make it good?

One exception to the rule: Bleach DS is freaking amazing, and this is coming from someone who hates the show. Not that it has anything to do with the PS2.

More than one anime game were good games. I liked PS1's Ghost in the Shell, SNES's Ranma 1/2 Super Battle, SNES's Bishoujo Sensei Sailor Moon Another Story, GCN's Naruto Clash of Ninja 1-4 (GNT 3-4), and others.
