highly-rated games you didn't like

Two games I can think of off the top of my head that I thought were overrated are Super Mario Galaxy and Viewtiful Joe. I liked Mario Galaxy alright, it just wasn't great. I got bored with Viewtiful Joe and still haven't finished it.

Off the top of my head, And Yet it Moves was highly rated but I didn't like it at all. Same for Mario Kart 64. I really think it's the worst Mario Kart game of the serie.

Games that were highly rated but I kinda liked but still felt like they are greatly overrated are the Super Smash Bros serie and the Bit. Trip serie.

Can't think of anymore at the moment, but there might be more.

Kirby's Epic Yarn was way too kiddie even for a Kirby game and was too different from the gameplay I'm used to seeing in a Kirby game.

Agreed with you on that one. Especially with the Bit Trip franchise. Bit Trip BEAT is by far my favourite Bit Trip game, followed by Void. Fate I'd say was the most disappointing entry in the series despite the positive reviews everywhere.

Final Fantasy X-XIII are awful I don't know why the series is still defended by hordes of fans because its days of glory ended after IX.

Mario Kart 7 - It has notably less content than Mario Kart DS in exchange for better visuals and a better online mode. Not enough for me, really. The gliding and underwater segments seemed pretty throwaway as well. Don't get me started on the AI.

Kirby's Epic Yarn - I loved the visual style, co-op, and certain elements of the gameplay, but the inability to die and the lack of challenge ruined the whole game for me. It felt like I was walking down a defined path with no obstacles, which just isn't engaging.

Keep in mind I don't hate either of these (I beat KEY once on my own and once in co-op in fact), but I found them disappointing enough to warrant mentioning here. I really had to force myself more than a few times to continue playing so that I could justify spending full retail price.

Red Steel 2 - While there was much to like, the ridiculous loading times for small areas, the complete lack of multi-player (which was what I played primarily on RS1) and the fact it was basically a one trick pony killed my enthusiasm for this game.

SMG, LoZ:TP, MP3 - All good but all bored me. Love NSMB, LoZ:SS and MoM though.

Kirby - Epic Yarn. - I finished it but the kiddyness of this one was really grating (mind you I played through it with my son which helped).
