Games that look terrible/generic shovelware but are actually amazing to play.

People forget this, but GTA 3 didn't look all that hot, even when it first launched. Jaggies, pop-in... it took heat on message boards at the time. Of course, given what it was accomplishing on the hardware (PS2), it was sort of impossible for it to look like Splinter Cell, but yeah... it wasn't the best looking of games.

But it sure was a hell of a lot of fun.

Yep. And Vice City had thar blurred motion effect, wasn't really a pretty game either, character models were bad. San Andreas wasn't even that good looking for it's time. It wasn't until GTA4 did we see R* get these games up to graphical standards and even that had it's flaws conpared to something like MGS4.
