Digg it!Very often the hype surrounding a game is so tremendous that you hardly wait to read the reviews or talk to someone who has played it but spend hard-earned bucks on getting the first copy! Only to realize that it contains crude aesthetics, it’s concepts are half-baked or that it is simply boring beyond belief. Take a look at our list of the top ten most overrated video games at all times and see if your pick makes it to the list!
10. Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
Who can forget the design, wonderful story line and the charm of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time? The Prince of Persia had everyone rooting for him. However, the success of the game did not move the game forward; instead, the creators made everything in the new version of the game – Warrior Within – extreme. The music was no longer Persian but more like hard rock, the level of violence increased, the Prince turned too obnoxious and the game was frankly unplayable.
9. Halo
Halo: Combat Evolved, may be one of the Xbox’s most favorite games of all times but the fact remains that the design levels are repetitive making it fairly boring after a while and having to play a multiplayer game with a split screen is a definite turn-off. Sure, Halo is not a bad game but when you compare it with the improvements in Halo 2 or Halo 3, you will have to agree it is a little overrated.
8. Super Mario Sunshine
Super Mario 64 was an incredible success and there had been huge expectations from the next release in the Mario series. While Super Mario Sunshine is adequate by itself, it showed no sense of innovation leaving everyone a little disappointed.
7. Daikatana
If you had to compare the hype surrounding various games before the release, Daikatana probably ranks right at the top. The reputation of the developer, John Romero, responsible for the hugely successful Doom, preceded him and everyone expected him to come with something even more impressive than Doom. Unfortunately, nothing in the game – neither the weapons nor the action scenes – stood up to all the hype.
6. Mortal Kombat
True, Mortal Kombat was an instant hit when it was released. And though there were some refreshing perspectives as far as the fights were concerned, the main attraction of the game seems to be the level of gore in it – in fact, gamers can execute defeated competitors in the most violent manner. With not much in terms of gameplay and highly flashy at times, Mortal Kombat remains an overrated game.

Halo and Mortal combat overrated…. wow your a moron. You choose two best selling games and games that have found a place etched in our pop culture. Besides that Halo is widely considered revolutionary in its genre. Millions of people didnt buy these games cause they were boring…
And then your comparing these games retrospectively?! Of course mortal combat doesnt have the same entertainment value today as it did when it came out. its been over ten years! Video games and the consoles have come a long long way. Your comparing a wooden wagon to a car.
Im sorry I just think you missed the ball here. I remember me and everyone I knew playing mortal combat for hours on end back in the day. And halo god I didnt even really get into that but I remeber EVERYONE playing that. Infact it was the first time I noticed large girls all over playing “guy” games
Just because they are best selling games doesnt mean there not overrated look at gta 4 and modern warfare 2

I guess WoW isn’t considered a ‘video game’ per se, b/c never has a more stupendously awful and stultifying time-waster been played by more
peoplenerdsretards. It’s the RPG equivalent of the 70′s pet rock craze.This is probably the worst article I’ve ever read. You write about instant classics (i.e. Halo, FF7, MGS2:SOL) and then piece of shit games such as Daikatana and Tomb Raider. Atrocious.

Halo – multiplayer with split-screen is a turn-off? What did you have in mind in terms of not buying separate consoles and peripherals to play the same game together?
You seem to have a really hard time understanding the meaning of “overrated.” If a game was a disappointment, how was it overrated? I’ll grant you Halo and Mortal Kombat, because those games weren’t really all that fun despite being hugely popular. Daikatana is reviled by everyone. Unless you’re going to tell me that Daikatana gives you AIDS and it is overrated because people don’t generally think of it as disease-carrying, Daikatana is not overrated.
odd on this one, you got a couple games in there that weren’t rated very well so not sure why they can be overrated. But to defend points that some people commented about. yes Halo is overrated, and the millions it sold doesn’t show that it’s not overrated, it just means people buy into Hypes. The majority of people, if told that a game is great, will buy it and think it’s great. FF7 often said to be the best rpg of all time by a lot of people, is overrated. It’s a great game of course, but not the best of the series and not the best rpg of all time. I don’t like the mortal kombat one. I find it had good gameplay that other games didn’t have at the time. after mk3 the rest were rated pretty bad so I don’t consider it overrated.
Oh, one game I’m surprised I don’t see in here is Grand Theft Auto 4. This is widely one of, if not the most overrated game of all time.

cephalexin diarrhea should i be worried ,
there are only 2 ways to do this, they are either faoums or have connections, for example with me my sister is a professional gamer and my aunt designed the game medal of honor so therefore i get a lot of video games free i can promise you that no company will just hand you a few new games for reviewing on a blog. in that case nothing would ever be new any joe could just ask for a game saying that he is a critic even though he is not. work your way up get people to notice you! start by reviewing games as they come out that’s when people want to know about them not before hand! so Dr. house is right. No, for an ordinary person, i can guarantee you will find somebody with connections. in theory you know everyone in this world through six degrees of separation or less do some research on that.

No multiplayer maps for Quake 2? Apparently whoever wrote this remembers nothing of QuakeSpy/GameSpy, LMCTF, Action Quake, Jailbreak or any of the plethora of mods and online multiplayer servers this game enjoyed during its heyday, not to mention classic official DM levels like “Tokay’s Towers” and “The Edge.” It’s fine to have an opinion, but this article is an act of either an ignorant fool or a brilliant troll.
Daikatana was not overrated. Everyone knew that game was terrible when they played it, even the critics. Overhyped? Yes. Overrated? No.
lol I don’t know if the gameplay’s bteter or worse in the intro than the actual game graphics are great though lollol at Fat Samoa Joe Rikishi amd Vince McMahon
