Heavy Rain.

The story is full of plotholes, the voice acting varies from acceptable to horrendous and the controls are fiddly and awkward. And those were three of the main things they really had to get right with this game. Also as an example of storytelling in games, it's terrible. There is no subtlety to anything, they just throw a bunch of high tension scenes at you without any rhyme or reason just so they can cry "Oh our game has emotions, look at all the emotions "

Though my main issue with the game is the fact that they claimed your actions would have consequences. But what they actually means is that during a few moments in the game there is a small chance the character you are controlling may die which might mean you won't see a small cutscene with them at the end of the game. I played the game several times, trying different things in order to see what difference it made to the storyline.Turns out, barely anything. One time I even played through the game deliberatly failing at everything and nothing changed until around two thirds of the way through (When the game had to end because all the characters were dead). And then you have David Cage saying "Oh well you should only play this game once, so you're always left wondering what would have happened if you'd made different choices". No David, i think what you meant was "You should only play this game once, so you don't realise I've conned you out of £40".

So yeah, I'm not a fan.

I hear Twilight is overrated all the time. Id call what your describing "overreviewed". To "rate" something can imply what a fan thinks, not a review score. When people say COD is overrated, its because it sells more/more popular then what it is, not because they feel its metascore isnt justified. Just me anyway.

Oblivion by a lot. I fell for the hype and paid the price. It's one of the main reasons why I generally look down on PC gaming (Which I'm attempting to change in the next few weeks).

Skyward Sword was great, and i think OoT deserves it's praise. Many will hate me for this but the only Zelda game that's overrated imo is Twilight Princess.

I enjoyed the game but it's clear that fans REALLY like it that much because it's "dark and realistic". They never mention how freaking easy the enemies and bosses are, boring temples, the lazy sidequests and that it tried to be exactly like OoT.

It's baffling how Wind Waker turned out to be the better and more original game, yet many fans (i was one of them) and critics dislike it cause it's cel shaded.

I would say gaming in general is overrated.

Dark / Demon's Souls
Battlefield 3
Halo (entire series)
Metal Gear Solid (entire series)
Portal 2
Skyward Sword
Any Final Fantasy game post III (or VI for you purists out there)

Monster Hunter: I played on PSP and couldn't stand the animations and very narrow view.

Any 3d Mario: Ok games, but really easy and nothing makes me want to continue for long.

Minecraft: Fun at first, but after a while I felt like I was wasting time even with mods...I'm not suppose to notice I'm doing nothing important when playing games.

Final Fantasy VII: It's ok, but people pretend it's the best Final Fantasy or best game in general...I played it long after it came out, so I think it's a "you had to be there" type of thing.

Skyrim: I played just 4 hours on this game and never had the urge to return. It felt like I was playing a single player MMO (very bad), do silly fetch quests and nothing important ever happens, dungeons were stupidly underwhelming, environment was not immersive and not interesting like people pretended. It was the only game I ever bought because of hype...very dumb of me.

Journey, ico/sotc, flower

I don't know why it just makes me kind of laugh inside when people get all dramatic about these game when they say its a life changing, emotional game, "art" or whatever. I guess I just view video games differently.

Skyrim and Ocarina of Time. Dear Lord are those games overrated!

I would have to also say CoD, though it is more overplayed than overrated.

UC Vita version.

Honestly, I gave it a chance but I see nothing beyond its pretty face.
