Overrated... definitely. Maybe the storyline and the gameplay were perfect, I don't deny that it may set a bar for the vast majority of Playstation gamers. My problem is that it's not revolutionary at all. It's just taking tried and tested formulas and perfecting them. Is that really worth the title "best game ever"?
Take The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, it was called the best game of all time by many because it was a patent warehouse of original and groundbreaking ideas.
Take Half Life and it's sequel, both broke down more walls than any FPS before them. HL2 came out a year late and it still had it's graphics compared to Doom 3 which was released even later.
These are games that took risks to push the boundaries of game development. There were minor flaws in each, but they set the pace for every game after.
