Yes, but that is true with any game. As long as the game is popular, there will always be a swarm of annoying people bashing you for not liking it. 12 year olds shouldn't be playing GTA anyway.

Thats cuz most of us are mature :x
Most overrated games are FFVII, DiabloII, Halo2, Halo, Soul Calibur2(maybe its just me), Zelda: WW(it was good but not THAT good..), and GTA...along with most of the Warcraft series including WoW.
Underrated games are FFXI(seriously), KoF and SF series, Metroid, Xenogears, Perfect Dark, and FFIX.
Damn... I know I shouldn't be doing something like this, but screw it. I'm doing it anyways.
Games whose worth I don't quite feel match up with the amount of praise they receive:
Golden Sun
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Metroid Prime
Secret of Mana
Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy VI
Suikoden I
Dragon Warrior VII
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (Although this might flat out have just been personal preference)
Mega Man 2
DDR
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Resident Evil
Devil May Cry
Breath of Fire III
Now for some games that I feel don't get the credit they deserve, or simply got passed up by the vast majority of the population:
Secret of Evermore
Vagrant Story
Breath of Fire II
Actraiser II
Soulblazer
Illusion of Gaia
Dragon View
The Final Fantasy Legend
Final Fantasy Legend II
SaGa Frontier
Legend of Mana
Chocobo's Dungeon II
Wizards & Warriors
Demon's Crest
Mega Man X4
Legend of the Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon (N64)
Lunar 2: Eternal Blue
Crystalis
Well that felt good to get off my chest, although it isn't going to do anybody any good.
Most overrated:
Halo

I'll say that I absolutely love Halo 2, and play it more than I should, but I still believe it's overrated. It's hailed as the best FPS ever by many people, but it's nothing revolutionary--it's just designed very well.
I don't know if saying these games are "underrated," especially, but Eternal Darkness and Mario Kart: Double Dash are both incredibly fun titles that don't often get much attention. There are tons of other games I could comment on, but this'll do.
Overrated: Final Fantasy as a whole EDIT: with the exception of FFT
Underrated: Suikoden, Lunar, most other RPG series outside of FF. EDIT: FFT
Overrated: All FF's
Underrated: Suikoden, Shadow Hearts, Lunar, Legend of Legaia
Raist, don't forget FFT. That game is HARSHLY ignored.
overrated i'd have to say halo. put socom 2 and killzone together and viola, halo.
underrated i'd have to say metal gear ac!d and the dynasty warriors saga. as far as ac!d goes, maybe they don't want to use their brains more or maybe they're low on strategy... same with dynasty warriors only its real time and fast paced.
overrated/GTA&FIFA series
don't really know many underrated games it's down to personal taste
overrated: FFVII
Underrated: FFT, Xenogears, Chrono cross, suikoden
I think the GTA games are overrated my personal opinion is that they never should have been made.
Underrated I think FF8
I go to alot of Final fantasy sites that complain about how 8 sucks I know the junctioning is different and takes a little getting used to but the game itself and the storyline were awesome.
Underrated: GTA series. These games are so fun it's hard to believe no one likes them.
Only hippy dorks on RPG forums don't like GTA.
The other 90% of the world appreciate it for the neverending super fun romp it is.
Overrated: Final Fantasy series
Underrated: Suikoden series
