Digg it!5 Final Fantasy VII
It may be strange to see a game that is adored by millions of gamers to be in the overrated games list. However, any gamer who has played the earlier versions of Final Fantasy will agree that Final Fantasy VII made it big mainly because of multi-million dollar marketing campaign that preceded its release and the cutting-edge graphics it used. Game wise, the other Final Fantasy games offer more in terms of characters and storylines.
4. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
When the demo for Sons of Liberty was released, gamers and critics alike were wowed by the wonderful cinematic scenes and the innovations it seemed to have made in the fighting styles. No effort was spared in the marketing of the game either with Sons of Liberty setting an all time pre-sales record. However, on release, players were highly disappointed with the changes in some of their favorite characters, bizarre storylines and the unusually long time it took to play the fancy cinematic scenes.
3. Enter the Matrix
Released at the same time as the movie The Matrix Reloaded, this game sold millions and millions of copies. For Matrix fans, there is a lot to enjoy but from a sheer gaming perspective, the graphics are terrible, there are no special fighting skills included and just too many bugs to name.
2. Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness
When Lara Croft Tomb Raider first came on the scene, the game offered something refreshing and new – Lara Croft caught the imagination of an entire generation of gamers turning them into ardent fans. If not for them it is hard to understand the popularity of Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness. Facing serious problems in the code, the game had poorly designed levels and clunky controls. Certainly overrated when compared to the predecessor.

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
This is literally the worst article on the Internet. Get an editor.
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.

Articles like this really grsaee the shafts of knowledge.
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.
