Most Over-rated Game Of All Time
Since we have a most under-rated game of 2004 thread, it is only fair to start a over-rated thread, only this time, list your most over-rated game of all time, not just 2004.
I personally would have to give this reward to Halo. After months of listening to all the hype of "this is the greatest game of all time" and "game of the year" and this and that, I figured, "holy crap, this must be some amazing game!"
I don't have an X-Box so I decided to wait it out till the PC version was released. Anyways, I purchased it when it came out for the PC and after about 1-2 hours of gameplay, I thought to myself, this is the game that everyone is going crazy over?
Not only is Halo one of the worst single player experiences I've ever had the displeasure of playing, but every other aspect of it (I didn't play Mp) was absolute crap!
Never have I played such a repetitive and boring FPS in my life. Every level seemed to be a rehash of the previous level, either that or it was the same level except played in reverse. Not only that, but the amount of enemy re-spawns every 5 seconds was absolutely ridiculous and tedious.
In a nutshell, the gameplay consisted of this: kill 50 enemies, move 10 feet, kill 50 more enemies, move 10 more feet, beat the level, play the same level again in reverse, kill 50 more enemies and so on.
I give the single-player a score of 3/10.
If I hated Halo 1 this much, should I even give Halo 2 a shot, or is it the same garbage?
List your most over-rated game of all time.
