I'd probably say Metroid Prime, but then again I'm not much of a fan of First Person view.

I also think that Zelda in general is overrated, dunno why. Twillight Princess was pretty good tho.

Well, I agree with Metroid Prime Corruption but totally dissagree with Zelda Twilight Princess. I had my first time with both of them and I thought TP is a true masterpice. I am playing it a second time one of this days!

EDIT: Never mind about TP, I read too quickly and got it wrong




Halo (all three of them) very easily

and Gears of War 1 and 2 - dont get me wrong they are great games BUT Gears is slightly overrated IMO



GTA 4~~~~!!!! definitely....absolutely rip off......

Very interesting, I felt the exact opposite. I felt really bored and been there done that 10 times already feeling with TP while I enjoyed Corruption thouroughly. Best Wii title so far imo while I'd stick TP as the most overrated one.

Far and away FFVII

followed up by any of the Halo games

 

was it even rated that highly, that it could be the "most overrated"? I only know the german reviews were good-> very good, but not really outstanding or anything .. still it was the best gaming experience I ever had in my life

Most reviews scored FFVII above 90% and it got several perfect scores.

Electronic Gaming Monthly

Simply amazing, and even better than the Japanese version. They balanced out the fights and added a couple of Bosses and some extra footage to the game."

IGN

All in all, it is impossible to not recommend Final Fanatsy VII to anyone who is even vaguely interested in RPGs"

GameSpot

Never before have technology, playability, and narrative combined as well as in Final Fantasy VII."

Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

The first PS one installment of Final Fantasy is still one of the best ever. [Mar 2002, p.34]"



Too many to name all-time, but just for this gen my most overrated would be a tie between three different Wii titles (and I paid full retail price for all three) -- WarioWare: Smooth Moves, Super Paper Mario and Super Smash Bros Brawl.

WWSM: I guess I don't "get it." Mini-games. Outside of possibly the first Rabbids title on the Wii (which I did enjoy), this mini-game schlock is all mindless tripe with virtually no replay value. How a collection of three second micro games gets an aggregate GameRanking score of 82%, making it the 14th best game on the Wii, is beyond me. If this were $9.99 on a clearance end cap at my local Target, I still wouldn't buy it. To say I'm freaking ashamed I paid full retail when it came out because of the glowing reviews would be an understatement. One of the micro games should include taking the Wii remote and whacking yourself in the head with it for being stupid enough to play this "game" for more than ten minutes if you're over eight years old.

SPM: I love me some platforming. Mario too? Awesome. So shut up already! Enough with the damn talking! 15 minutes of reading unskippable text to stomp on Koopas for 3 minutes, only to be postponed by another 15 minute cut scene that can't be bypassed, fast forwarded, or whathaveyou. Made worse by the fact that the plot/storyline was childish and terrible. "BLECK!"

SSBB: I used to think multi-player fighting games were really cool ... back in 1995. Meh.

As for NOT being overrated, I'll vote LittleBigPlanet. I've owned it a week, completed it, played it online, and I'm going to go ahead and put it out there that this is the best title this gen, for all platforms. Heck, at 95% it's underrated. On a scale of 1 to 10, LBP goes to 11.
