MGS4. Played it at a friends house. Watching 10 minute long cutscenes then playing 5-10 minutes of actual gameplay then watching another 10+ minute long cutscene was painful

Gran Turismo 3. Easily the worst GT, though it's still ok.

FF7. Wow, this game was probably my least favorite FF, everything was just so expected, the characters weren't all that great and the character textures... god.

I bet everyone will say halo, but I say god of war. I never really found it interesting.

I'd say Halo. I'm not saying it's a bad game--it's actually a very good game. But it does not deserve all the attention it got. Besides the controls, I just don't see what that game did that was revolutionary. It just felt like a regular FPS to me. Not a terrible game, just an over-rated one.

Not At All. The graphics from 2 to 3 were a huge jump, and not just because it was an upgraded console. It was also a very addictive game, and I have probably played GT3 the most out of any other game in my life.

You can skip them if you have no interest for them. And the gameplay intervals are actually much longer than what you said... Your post sounds more like a description of MGS2.

Yeah, that figures, I didn't like that many tracks, the driver a.i. wasn't that challenging and I didn't find many of those events to be a lot of fun. Graphics were the best thing about the game though.

It's a hard call but two game series stand out to me. Donkey Kong Country and Gran Turismo. Neither of these highly regarded game franchises deserve to be anything other than footnotes in gaming history. They are not good, original or exciting in anyway.

I grew up with these SNES games, so I always have a fond spot in my heart for DKC. It's the best platformers series on the SNES besides the Mario games, and Mega Man X if you count that as a platformer.

I guess that is kinda my point. The DKC games while still decent, were NOTHING on Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Mega Man and so forth. They were just run of the mill jump on the baddies platformers. They had flashy graphics and that is the only reason they sold so much and everyone reckoned they ruled. Whcih reminds me. Golden Sun is by far the most overrated GBA game. The game's combat has zero strategy whatsoever, the characters are all boring and the storyline is complete drivel. But hey mode 7 scaling on a pre rendered world map? Rotating camera in battles? High quality music? I LOVE GOLDEN SUN OMG GOLDEN SUN DS!

Hundreds are going to pick Halo which is pretty redundent because those games have been beaten to deaht already so give the game a rest even if you don't like it.

Here are my overrated game picks:

BioShock is a dumbed down System Shock 2

Half-Life 2 is great but not THAT great.

Final Fantasy VII is a dumbed downed and animenized version of Final Fantasy VI but a very fine game.

Morrowind < Oblivion

Red Faction was awful and represents everything that doesn't work in a console FPS, at least Halo proved how a FPS can work on the console but Red Faction didn't in the slightest

Killzone 2 is very good but the Resistance series are far superior.

Goldeneye hasn't aged well.

Metal Gear Solid 4 and Uncharted are probably the most overrated games on System Wars. Valkyria Chronicles and iNFAMOUS are up there, too. Oh, and I fought the ninth colossus in Shadow of the Colossus yesterday, and it was boring as hell. I lured the thing over some geysor, shot its ankles, climbed on top of its head, and then killed it. So exciting.

However unlike Crackdown, inFamous was great and hell it even impressed Yahtzee.

You have a lot of hate for Sony games, don't you. Most overrated? I didn't like Bioshock, and GTA4 seemed kinda bland. I completed the game but the online was dull and definitely should have had more content, it got perfect scores everywhere.

Oblivion was also the worst in the elderscrolls series and extremely overrated.

I don't hate any of the games I listed, except for iNFAMOUS. All of them are a lot of fun, but overrated to hell and back on here. The only big name PS3 exclusive that I don't think is overrated on here is LittleBigPlanet.
