    woh woh woh woh woh !

    id have to disagree with yas when it comes to halo & FF7 those 2 games are sum of my FAVORITES, but i do agree that Halo 2 was waaaaayyy overrated, after watching all the trailers, and videos etc, i was soooo excited when i actually got it, but unfortunatly i was sorely dissapointed when i acctually played it, same goes for GTA san Andreas exept it sucked more !

    if you want a new sig, or you just wanna see more of my work, go [/!]here <--

    Just because they're your favourites, doesn't mean they aren't massively overrated, if anything it would lead to a less objective view of how overrated the games are because of your personal preference.

    FF8 and FF9 are sorta underrated. FF9 is the best FF game, in my opinion. It just has so much magic to it, and it was just plain fun to play. The minigames were actually enjoyable, as opposed to FFX where I would rather bash my head against a door then do the lighting dodger. And FF8 had a good story, just because the battle system wasn't good doesn't mean it wasn't a fun game.

    Actually, the battle system in FF8 > Story, the story was just a big joke for the most part.

    Yeah, that part sucked, I think it was a story cop out. What interested me most about the story was Laguna's part of it, the romance story (because I just can't help it, I'm a girl) and the whole Rinoa's Mom = Laguna's ex lover and all that. And the R = U theory. But FF7 is much better if you enjoy theories.

    Ico may have been critically acclaimed but most have never played it. I believe it sold something like 50,000 copies or somewhere in that range. Let's face it, Shadow of the Colossus isn't being made because Ico was a runaway hit. That's the main reason I consider it underrated. So few have actually played it which I consider a shame, since it really was one of the most beautiful, unique, and fun games I've ever played.

    I haven't heard much about Katamari Damacy on the interspace, so I always thought that people just shrugged this piece of gold off.

    Yah, I can't believe how underrated Sonic is! It's only had atleast 3 or 4 TV series, and a billion different squels! God! When are people going to realize how good Sonic is and start REALLY buying it! It so totally deserves one new game in the series every month, anything less than that just won't cut it for me!
