    Mr. Driller DS. I expected it to not be fun, but then... oh wait.

    I remember thinking that Kingdom Hearts was going to be bad because of the association of Disney with the game, but it turned out to be one of my favorite PS2 game ever.

    It did get unbarably corny sometimes, not just the disney, but luckily you can skip it in KH2.

    Eternal Darkness, kind of. The waves of positive press it received were enough to convince me to buy it, but then there was a period of at least a week afterwards where I would just look at the back of the case and cringe at those ugly Canadian character designs. Once I actually started playing, though, it proved to be every bit as excellent as it had been hyped to be, mongoloid protagonists aside.

    Advent Rising. Buggy as hell, but still a good fun game.

    Katamari Damacy. Who would have guessed that rolling a ball around would be fun?

    I had heard a lot of bad things about Metroid II - RoS, but it's so fun and one of my favorite video games. I also thought Metroid Prime and Kingdom Hearts would be awful. I thought Metroid in 3D was a horrendous idea, but that turned out well. With Kingdom Hearts, the Square-Disney collaboration sounded stupid, but I found it quite enjoyable.

    Edit: I didn't think too highly about Final Fantasy IX when first reading about it either. God, how ignorant I was...

    Kingdom Hearts. My first reaction was 'What the crap are they thinking!' I perchased it anyway to give it a shot and really, REALLY enjoyed it. It's not my favorite game, but its very awsome

    Was Warzard ever released on a console in a country that doesn't speak Japanese?

    >>> It was the opposite for me, I bought the game because of all the KH hype and I had my hopes for it, then I played it (tortured myself) for a couple of days and never touched the game again..
    Anyways, my little brother loved it and played it so it wasnt a total waste of money..
