Everyone's got their opinion. But man, I seriously disagree with some people on a few games. I'm sure you do too, so speak up. Here's mine

Overrated: Dead Rising

Do you feel like playing the same game 29 times before you finish it due to a retarded save system? Do you enjoy campy dialogue and bad voice acting? Then pick this up!

Underrated: Crackdown

More than a GTA clone. Fun to play for 5 minutes at a time, or for a lengthly play session. Yeah, killing those gangs gets repetitive, but the gameplay is more polished and refined than GTA ever was (not saying it's a better overall game, just more polished).

Your turn

For underrated, I'd go with Condemned. Maybe more overlooked than anything else.

Overrated...I'll go with Gears of War. Short campaing and a multiplayer which is nothing but a shotgun "lag attack fest" (granted I still find it fun).

Far Cry

Thought the PC version stunk, well other than the first five levels which is the most fun youll ever have in a video game so the 360 version made some nice improvements over it

Overrated:

Madden 08

So what is has good graphics and looks like it plays nice. But it still lacks alot of features from 05. All they did was put some stuff back into the game and said its new, the franchise mode is still not up to 2005's. Also it still doesnt play like football. I want 05 with better graphics and new rosters is that so hard?

Underrated:

Lego Star Wars II trilogy

I dont even like star wars but this game is funny and fun. Its easy but its still enjoyable.

Underated - Stranglehold - Sure it's short, but it's non-stop awesome. Until it stops... but then you just play it again.

Overrated - Graw - Just didn't find it fun at all. Think they may have had next-gen fever when it was released.

Most underrated 360 game I can think of is Far Cry Instincts: Predator.

The single player is all right and all but the multiplayer is just amazingly fun. Being able to make your own maps and play other people's maps is what makes this game so great. I really don't understand why more people don't love this game...

overrated-

1) elder scrolls: oblivion- extremely boring game, i found no fun in it at all

underrated games:

1) kameo- a lot of people write it off as a kids game but it is really the only platformer on the system right now and the graphics are amazing considering it was a launch title

2) enchanted arms- the combat system is different than any other rpg i have played and the game is pretty long so it keeps you busy for awhile, the story reminds me a little bit of ff 3( old super nintendo game), the game starts off slow but gets better

3) saints row and 4) crackdown- both of them add their own thing to what gta started but i actually like them both better than the gta games....both are very addicting and left me wanting more when i finished them

I liked Crackdown A LOT more than GTA, which I know I'm in the minority for. GTA had alot to do, maybe too much, and the gameplay was far, far from polished.

I totally disagree with you about Dead Rising as it is not overrated at all, as I only wish that it was overrated because if it was then a sequel might have been made and released already.

The most overrated game to me is Gears of War. Okay yes it is a good shooter game, but not as great as everyone makes it out to be. I have played better shooter games on the Xbox360 like both GRAW games and Battlefield 2: Modern Combat(multi-player though Live) and the Call of Duty games.

The most underrated games are Battlefield 2: Modern Combat(multi-player though Live) and Battlestations: Midway and Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII and Star Trek: Legacy. To me those are all great games, but it seems like no one else really likes any of them. I own them all and they are alot of fun to play and are just great games. I think the problem is no one really gives them a chance, like if people would play the actual games and not just the demos and if people have played the actual games then atleast play them longer then 5 mins. before deciding that they suck.

I still think Dead Rising is a poorly designed game. It's fun to play in spots, but could've been MUCH MUCH better had their been a fair save system, instead of the trash that artifically extends the games length.

But I agree with you about demos. Since there's no money invested in them, people rush to judgement playing them for 3minutes before deleting them unless they're blown away in the first 5 minutes. And how many games are really going to do that?

I agree, I love the game when the weapons on map are swapped out for snipers, but when you start with shotgun and get stuck with it for 10 rounds the game gets hella boring. Definitely Overrated Layla Kayleigh on Maxim

For underrated, I'd go with Condemned. Maybe more overlooked than anything else.

Overrated...I'll go with Gears of War. Short campaing and a multiplayer which is nothing but a shotgun "lag attack fest" (granted I still find it fun).

Overrated: Gears of War. I had a blast beating the campaign co-op with my friend when I got this, but I never liked the online multiplayer. I feel GoW is a good shooter with great graphics, but not much online depth. When I want great multiplayer, I play Halo 2 (and soon Halo 3), instead of rolling around and getting in shotgun wars.

Underrated: Kameo: Elements of Power. It's not perfect, but it's a beautiful game with solid gameplay, good music, story, and variety.

I love Rainbow Six, and think it's one of the most underrated games, actually. No one ever mentions it in th pantheon of great shooters for the system, but it's up there in the top 2 or so.

I liked Crackdown A LOT more than GTA, which I know I'm in the minority for. GTA had alot to do, maybe too much, and the gameplay was far, far from polished.

I used to be a GTA adict, until i found how pointless that game was. I not really in to free-for-all kill everyone, but Crackdown looks really cool, i like the rpg elements to it.

Overrated: Oblivion, to many dark and danky dungeons tocrawl inand it has no souL Poorly told story with uninteresting characters.

Underrated...... nothing really, everything's been overrated. Viva Pinata was pretty cool. Also having a real good time with Eternal Sonata but I wouldn't call any of the underrated.
