What is the most overrated games you have ever played. I know this has the potential to turn in to a flame war, but honestly, what game failed to live up to all the hype? For me, it was Assassin's Creed. I played for about 5 hours, and found the game play to be insanely repetitive. The abnormally weird story line didn't help.

Quake III.



runners up: Every Modern Warfare, Call of Duty etc. game in existence.

I think it more depends on what sort of games you like. I felt Battlefield 2 was overrated but I prefer a faster paced shooting game. Then I could say Dragon Age is overrated but I hate western rpgs.

Probably the best example of an overrated game would be a game in a genre(s) you like. Taking that into account I'd say the Uncharted series is overrated. I think the characters and story are awful and the online multiplayers is bad.

The God of War series...incredibly boring. I like shooters and action games, but they are nothing more than button-mashers to me.

Madden.

MW2 and Black Ops

Monopoly. I played for four hours and ended up broke and in jail.

I hate to say it...Black Ops

Motion Sensors, Camera Spikes,....a campers dream game. I hate this.

If MW3 goes camper friendly, I will boycott!

The last Madden I bought was 2008. All they do is add some inane feature and update rosters.

MW2, awesome game, but it is not the best game in the COD series. COD4 is easily the best game in the series.

Homefront...just don't like it at all. Was pumped for the campaign and it poo the bed.
