What was the average review for Perfect Dark? The frame rate was unplayable many times in The single player and especially in not heavy, nbomb multiplayer. Critics loved it.

Keep in mind that was back in a different time where hardware limitations were heavy and pushing the envelope often resulted in issues.  It was a pionering game, the early ones always have the advantage of not having points of reference to be compared to.  That and what was considered "acceptable" back then was different.  OoT didn't even run at 30fps

Personally, I always saw this game as a potential B-Game.  Much like B-Movies, B-Games can be fun.  I Two Worlds 2 is definitely a B-Game that many enjoyed.  But anyone can sit down and pick it to pieces.  I wouldn't rate Two Worlds 2 very highly or give it any awards, no way.  Same wtih B-Movies.  There are some fun ones out there.  I watched Shoot Em Up once.  The writing was poor, the dialogue was cheesy, and the "political commentary" (forgive me writers who have *actually* done good political commentary, I had no other words to describe it) wre cringeworthy oftentimes.  But it was amusing for its absurdity and crazy action.  And that's perfectly fine.  And I would never rate it highly - not in a million years would I give it higher than a 6 - but I had fun with it and there you go.  That's also fine.  People need to understand, having fun with something doesn't make it necessarily good.  I have played Mount&Blade for hundreds of hours.  That's a B-game through and through.  It has a 6.5 to 7 on most sites and I couldn't agree more.  But I enjoy it a lot and I'm perfectly ok with that.  Critique is about pointing out strengths and weaknesses and evaluating based on that.  Not just on whether you had some fun.  

You might enjoy ProJared's Two World 2 review. It cites a lot that is wrong with that game.
