Mario Kart 64, Tony Hawk Project 8, for bad reviews. Good reviews are Metal Gear series (not into stealth), GRAW and any RTS.

The Guys that made Kung Foo Kaos are working on Heavenly Sword. Cool choice, I didn't really care for that game though. WiiPlay is pretty cool, even though it's a glorfied tech demo.

I liked; Bullet Witch Enchanted Arms I hated: GRAW (top of my hated list since it was overhyped) I was underwhelmed by: Half-Life 2 (It came out 1 year after Dues Ex:IW which had realtime shadows, normal mapping and cool physics. HL2 had no realtime shodows, minimal normal maps, and was boring.)

It's a game called GTA, and it happens to be the most overrated game ever made by man.

i like Red Steel i think it was like 6.8 or 6.7. definately not in th 5s


i really really didnt get y everyone loves gears of war, i seriously gave it a try and found the games stupid. easily the best part of the game was the reloading, they couldve made a game of Gears where you continuously reload your weapons and i would have enjoyed that more

overrated or not, I love that game. Vice City is still far and away the most fun imo. I love the 80s theme.

Bad reviews but I liked:
Red Steel
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2
Sudeki
Contact

Games with good reviews that I hate:
Any Splinter Cell game (just never got into it)
Rainbow 6 games (same as above, I don't hate all Tom Clancy games, Ghost Recon is pretty cool)
Sonic and the Secret Rings (I don't hate it, I think its overrated and too frustrating at times)

excite truck

red steel was ok

digimon rumble ARENA :D

digimon world 4 was actually fun with three guys :D

games i dont like or overhpyed:

Gears- good but not a high nine, maybe a low nine

grand theft auto: never really played it but if its anything like crackdow, i wont like it much. not into the gangster stuff but sandbox seems fun. not saying i think its bad, just not interested

final fantasy- im sure its good but i dont feel like playing turned base anymore. and too emotional. didn't like crystal chronicles. played of the older ones in one of thoes 100 games in one from china. it was ok but confusing

I like Killzone despite the score and bad rep.  I thought the game had much potential but was limited to the hardware on the PS2.  I dunno I suppose I like the style of that game much like I did with Resistance.  Resistance I feel was underscored everywhere.  That game should have score a few points higher than PDZ.  I played both all the way through and had my fair share of online with both.  PDZ has good textures and descent online but Resistance has literally everything else plus sweet weapons and at least as good as CoD2.

Killzone 2 is gonna flat out own though IMO.

Hmmm, a game I liked with bad reviews. That's a hard one. For me, it would be Yoshi's Story. That was a damn good game, even though Gamespot was right in saying that I could beat it in a single rental. But a game I despise with great ratings, that's easy. Here they are:

  • Devil May Cry 3: That game was so horridly hard, it took me the WHOLE rental period to beat it. Doesn't sound like much, does it? Well, for a bit of perspective, I beat Mario Vs Donkey Kong 2 the day I got it.
  • Bully: OK, didn't hate it. It's just that it wasn't that memorable, that's all.
  • Golden Axe: It's the same damn thing again and again and again.
  • Mortal Kombat: Just imagine a downgraded Street Fighter on the Genesis.
  • Altered Beast: I thought that suckage could not go below Golden Axe. I was wrong.
  • Resident Evil 0: I can see why people don't like the pre-RE4 games.
  • Earthbound: My despisement for this knows no bounds. It's just one huge string of events that barely qualifies for the phrase "disguised thinly".
  • Mega Man X-X3: This is below Mega Man. It's just crap.
  • Earthbound Zero: Only slightly better than it's sequel. Usually games get better over time.
  • Final Fantasy II: Wow, this game is just horribly glitched. Progression is just too easy. Music and story are OK, though.
  • Dragon Warrior: It's a bare bones game. Actually, it's beyond bare bones. Final Fantasy was bare bones.
  • Space Harrier: Was the development crew high when this was made?

A low-scoring game I actually liked (well it was decent at least) was Gauntlet on the Dreamcast (I think it got a 4.x) and Blue Stinger also on the DC, which got a 6.x but I must have played through that game 4-5 times in a row. A very high-scoring game I could never get in to or fully see the appeal in was Zelda: OOT. Me and 3D Zelda just do not mix.

Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2 got 8.2 and 8.7 respectivly. I think they are both rubbish.
