I believe by anime she meant games based on an already existing anime series.

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention, posting in the middle of writing an essay will do that.

Oh hey, that just reminded me. MMX6. Why does everyone hate MMX6?

Worst storyline ever, and X5's was bad enough already.

Then again just call me an odd Megaman fan since I hate Zero, and really wish the series would have ended with a real duel between X and Zero (like X2 and X3's endings hinted at), but I guess that was just TOO dark for Capcom. But it would have been epic. Instead we got the monstrosities that are X7 and X8.

Underated
- Metroid series. Can't wait for Prime 3!


Wha? When is Metroid undertated?

True, though they don't seem to get nearly as much recognition as Mario/Zelda/other big names.

Overrated:
*COUGHSTARCRAFT2COUGH*
Pretty much what everyone else said


Underrated:
The Incredible Machine (all versions)
Sim City 2000 (even in 2007)
McDonalds Treasure Adventure (or whatever, for Genesis. Nobody will play it because it's a "McDonalds" game)

I thought I had more than just that... I'll have to think.
SC2 isn't even out yet, how can it be overrated?
Incr. Machine - That game was ... awesome beyond words. One of them at least, I played it like 8 years ago and wish I could find it again (find it not as in I lost it, find it as in buy/dl it)

Things that generate a *LOT* of hype have a large tendancy to not live up to it. Thus, be overrated.

That requires an amount of prescience that I doubt you have, Drag. Right now, it's just overhyped.

* Sonic the Hedgehog 360


Again, unless you go to some Sonic yaoi site, I don't think you'll find more then five people in the world who rate the game more then a 2 out of 10. That's like saying Superman 64 is overrated, just because you and everyone hate it doesn't mean it should be on an overrated list just so you have more excuse to bitch and whine about it. Yeah, I guess I do this too much but I just hate how people seem to try and find any excuse to bring it up.

I think Capcom originallly wanted it to end at X5, hence the rapid downward spiral plotwise after that

(Naturally, cash cow = milk it longer, etc)

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle: Now.. I bet I'm going to get some weird glances for this one. If you've ever played Sonic Adventure 1, and then this back-to-back, you'd realize how much of an improvement that this game is. Everything runs smoother, and camera is actually... A bit better. (Not hard, but..) and it flows nicely. The story didn't seem as gripping (?!) as the first Sonic Adventure, Robotnik/Tails were terrible replacements for E-102, and it had some other problems, but I found this game as a whole, very enjoyable... It is the last 3D Sonic game that I've enjoyed, actually.



Totally agree, and I never understood the people who rate the original higher.

Let's see:
The removal of stupid overworld that never told you where to go? Check
The removal of retarded fishing levels everyone hated? Check
Improving the shooting levels a hundredfold? Check
Improving the treasure hunting levels a lot as well? Check
Improving Sonic's running levels, while removing Tails' dull and easy variant and Amy's slow variant (Sonic games aren't supposed to be slow!)? Check

Why the complaining? They improved the stuff that worked, and nixed the stuff that sucked, making the sequel a far far better game.


On the subject of Sonic, Sonic Labyrinth gets a lot of hate as well. Sure, besides the use of it's characters, it has barely anything to do with Sonic, and it's not really that great a game in the first place, but labelling it one of the worst Sonic games of all time, or even going as far as calling it one of the worst games of all time? No. It's a completely decent game as long as you ignore the fact that there's very little Sonic about it.

I agree with Shadic, SA2B was underrated. I mean, seriously, they got rid of Amy except for multiplayer. Sonic Battle was highly underrated also, it's really fun to play.

Underrated:
Metroid Prime - Yes, I believe it is underrated, since for me, it is one, if not the, best single player experience of the last generation.

LoZ: Majoras Masks - The awesome mood in this game makes it (plus alot of other things, like great gameplay etc thats common to the LoZ series) IMO actually the best LoZ game.

Fallout - The best game in the Fallout series, and a great computer RPG. It feels like you are actually living in another world, and can do more or less what you want, not like a sort of interactive fiction like some console RPGs...

Overrated:

World of Warcraft - Suffers from way many of the normal RPG and MMORPG flaws (ie, grinding, quests that doesnt effect world, it feels like a lot of the world could be offline etc)

Halo - I saw the first videos when it was going to be a Mac/PC game, and it looked really cool. 5 years (or somesuch) later, it is released for the Xbox, and not looking much better. Meh, I say. (note, still a good game, but not some kind of holy grail of FPSs on consoles)

Overrated games:
* Basically any Final Fantasy game
* any anime-related video game




fail

Maybe you worded it wrong, but not all Final Fantasy games are overrated. The series itself is (because IX was awesome and was underrated, I'd say)

As for anime-related video games being overrated, so much is wrong with that statement? Honestly, some games are relatively unknown or get bashed because they get away from the anime.

I think I was the one that mentioned the Hakusho game that I doubt anyone takes unless I force-feed it down their throat and through their ass. :\

It is underrated, it is good.

Actually, you'll find that there are a few people on places like zbattle that will play exceedingly rare games. I sure as hell didn't know what Kishin Douji Zenki 3 - Tenchi Meidou was before I went there.

No, a game can be unpopular and not underrated. If the game sucks, it's likely to be unpopular, but that doesn't make it underrated.

and calling games overrated before they even come out is the mark of an idiot.
even super paper mario thinks so. You wouldn't disagree with that game would you?

just throwing that out there.
