No, I am... but the new ones are disgraceful. FF7 was pretty good, but it's way overrated, so I threw it in there for good measure.

Hydra · January 27th, 2003

The shenmue games were massivly underrated I thought. Great games which not many people played or had a chance to.

Over-rated: All final Fantasy games following FF7, MGS2 ( and almost every single GBA game j/k

)

Under-rated: Xenogears ( some people still didnt hear about it, i myself knew it from 3 months ago), Project I.G.I ( reminds me of MGS) , and Sin and Punchiment ( very nice shooting game)

Glad 2 see that a lot of ppl agree that Lufia 2 Rise of the sinistrals is underrated!! It's a very good RPG, in fact, it was my first! After that came FF7.
Overrated, hmm I don't know, I don't play the newest pc games, because my pc is too slow, and I don't own a new console.

overrated: The Sims, Jet Grind Radio
underrated: Space Station Silicon Valley, Conker's BFD

Everyone I ever knew to play The Sims got tired of it quickly. When I introduced people to SSSV and CBFD, they had never heard of them, but ended up liking them alot. And Jet Grind Radio, while I certainly enjoy the graphics, style, and presentation, the gameplay was a little too repetitive for my liking. Not highly overrated, but it has gotten more attention that it deserves imo.
