So if I'm reading this right, you dislike a game that you haven't played enough to make a fair judgement on.

If that's the case, stop talking.


No, I'm saying I've played Gold and silver more, One of my friends has it, just cause I don't own it doesn't mean I don't PLAY it.

Sonic 2 Genesis- Best sonic game EVER, but still, it's overrated. I mean so much was added and the music was awesome, but still, sonic 3 doesn't get any attention because it's the middle child of the genesis (sonic 1 already left home and moved)


Seriously... you've got it all wrong... S3&K has always been the skyscraper shadowing Sonic 2... and just to let you know... I'm not angry. Just confused about how you could have gotten this wrong =/

NO.... Even Sonic 3 takes the cake ... Go to any sonic site. You'll see that they worship it... even without the lock on...

I still think sonic 2 was better
and I do go on sonic sites sometimes, usually forums, and a lot of people agree with me there.

and note I did play sonic 2 for a few years and then WAY later got sonic 3...

I must say, I'm genuinely surprised that no one has mentioned this.

Underrated:

The Ogre Battle series. Everything, and all of it. I'm let down that there hasn't been any development of it since The Knight of Lodis, but really, it's truly an epic series. For the true Ogre Battle games, it gives you a unique gameplay experience, and can really make you feel like you're in charge of an army. The Tactics Ogre games showed the precedent of characters with interchangeable classes.

In short, a very memorable series, and one that hasn't seen one bit of real consideration, from Atlus or it's fans, in a very long, long time.

Apparently you are lying tyty.
Go to Sonic Cult some time and dig up the ol' "Which is better" polls and you will find S3&K wins by a fuckton.

Meh, I don't go there, so I wouldn't know about that. I usually go to smaller sites where people aren't drugged by the fact that sega hasn't released a remake of sonic 2 for the PC yet. Hell sonic 3 wouldn't exist if it weren't for 2. (neither would really cool oldschool super sonic)....

I just realised everyones making me contradict my post about it being overrated...

That's not contradicting. You already said you thought it was the best (Sonic) game ever, you just tried to give supporting opinions to the discussion.

Why not call it a draw and let more people come forward with their opinions on what is over/underrated?

I like mostly every Sonic game pre-Adventure, with Sonic 360 being the worst Sonic game ever, in my opinion.

Has anyone here ever played SimTower? That game was kinda underrated...


SimTower was the shit, I seriously wasted my whole life in one year of high school playing that game.

*Puts on fireproof clothing*

Overrated:
  • Goldeneye. Where was the fun in this game? There were far better FPSes even on N64.
  • Zelda: Wind Waker. Who designed these levels? The rest of the game (graphics, sound, plot etc) was good, but I couldn't be arsed to play through so many boring/annoying parts.
  • Halo series. A good game, but not the amazing end-all-be-all king of video games fanboys describe it as.
  • Pokémon games after the GS series. (If you checked the box/cartridge art, it was actually Pokémon GS: Gold/Silver/Crystal version... but nobody, not even the title screens, called it that. )
  • Mario Kart DS. They fucked the game mechanics, plain and simple. The physics are much different from the others, and the others had it right. Also, now that the AI really gets items instead of randomly using things, you constantly get bombarded by the guys in last place. Realism vs fun.


Underrated:
  • Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. Maybe not as good as the original Sonics, but this game is fun.
  • Pokémon Gold/Silver and to a lesser extent Red/Blue. Very solid, well-made, enjoyable games.
  • Metroid 2. Bloody great stuff, but overshadowed by 1 and 3.
  • Yoshi's Story. A bit too easy, but a fun game (and with good music too ).
  • Mario Kart: Double Dash. This is my favourite of the series. I don't see what it is that makes people dislike this game.
  • Chromehounds. Very well-made game. Story mode kinda sucks but online play is awesome.
  • Diddy Kong Racing DS. People describe this as being absolutely terrible, when in fact it's just very bad. A shame, because the original fucking owned.


A lot of games are over/underrated simply because of their characters. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle is underrated because it's not as good as previous Sonic games; Pokémon R/B/Y/G/S/C are underrated because they're Pokémon games, Wind Waker is overrated because it's Zelda. If you ignore the characters, or imagine the same game with new made-up characters not similar to the originals, you can get a very different perspective of things.

Actually, RBYGSC are, for the most part, generally well-recieved by people. Still not underrated, by any means.

and for goldeneye, yeah, there's better ones on the n64.

too bad they use the same engine.

HyperHacker: I wouldn't say that Wind Waker is overrated. It seems to be hated by a lot of gamers, even if it's a Zelda game.

How can you call Double Dash underrated? I can't think of anyone that didn't like the game. It was very well received, too.

And I agree with DarkSlaya about Wind Waker. I liked the game, but many more people didn't.

Overrated:

-Games that overuse the same boring RockStar, GTA engine.

-Need for Speed IV and later, the first three were cool, then the urban hype bullshit ruined it.

-Sports games like Madden *insert random year here*; face it, it's crap. It's a glorified version of rock, paper, scissors and it's boring as hell.

-House of the Dead IV; zombies aren't supposed to be pretty, where's the fucking gore!?

-New Mario games. They lack the charm of the old 2d mario games and all the new power-ups don't really pique my interests, in fact, they grow dull.

-DDR; really, who cares if you can step on a few blocks really fast? If you want to know how to really dance and not make yourself look like an ass, go to a dance school. I had the misfortune of seeing a portly geek with a ponytail (who reeked of cheese and sweat) play that wretched game and nearly break it, working on another heartattack. I'm not amazed by it at all.


Underrated:

-2d Contra series; really, it's a hard game but it forces you to game out. Blowing crap up for no reason and getting all the variety in every level makes it one hell of a good game.

-CarnEvil; It's wonderfully bloody and the zombies don't bore me. You move at a fast pace shooting anything that tries to cut you up. It's sad that this is only available on the arcade and the MAME chds add up to a total of 19gb! Anytime I find this in an arcade, I'll play it for hours spending all the quarters in my pocket.

-Dofus; It's a really good mmorpg! Many people insist on shaming themselves as gamers by quitting at level 5 or so because they suck at it and I'm tired of hearing that crap. I love running around and trading with people, making friends, gathering groups to hunt monsters... there's just more than meets the eye and I think this game deserves more recognition from people who don't live in France.

How is that underrated. Half-Life 2 was one of the most anticipated Sequels ever.

Compare any hype Half-Life 2 got with the hype a Halo game gets, then compare the gameplay. You could say it's "comparatively underrated".
