| Machina said: All-time highest Metacritic games: 1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) - 99 2. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (PS) - 98 3. Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3) - 98 (360 version at 98 too) 4. SoulCalibur (DC) - 98 5. Super Mario Galaxy (WII) - 97 The only one of those which isn't massively overrated is Super Mario Galaxy imo. Which is the most overrated of those 5 though? Probably GTA IV. Reviewers really rated that based on hype not delivery, and they did so pretty much all across the board. It's probably the best example to point to of a herd mentality amongst major reviewers and their inability to critically analyse games independently. |
I'd say that THPS actually does really well in what it sets out to do, though I'd say that THPS3 is a better experience overall.
