Titan Quest.

The game scored low in a lot of reviews because of technical issues and seemingly repetitive gameplay, but I found it amazing.

The engine was beautiful, the class systems were fluid and dynamic and when played with friends the game was more fun than it had any right to be.

Disasteray of Crisis - Received pretty average reviews but I enjoyed it.It was like playing the cheesiest action movie ever made

Rise of the Argonauts - Again average reviews but I like greek mythology so I enjoyed the story

Red Faction Guerilla

it didn't score terribly low but most of the people I know that played it thought it was terrible. but they didn't understand the game was really about blowing stuff up. not killing baddies

 

[Armored Prayer]

Metal Gear Acid for the PSP.

Sure it was a turn based card game, but I thought it was fun.

Lost Planet. Not many people like it, but I thought the countdown made it feel tense and the boss fights and enemies were amazing. Plus, how many games do you know that have a mech that can transform into a bike and back again? (besides transformers)
I'm looking forward the the second one.

Dead Space: Extraction- So few people like the Wii, and even fewer liked this game, even though it got good reviews. I thought it was brilliant.

 

[Lord Honk]

fire warrior it IS bad, but so far it's the only fps somewhat related to the warhammer 40k universe, and i have yet to see a mod that surpasses even that low-set bar xD

 

[Daystar Clarion]

The force unleashed. Sure it lacked polish and the story was a bit 'meh' but I loved the lightsaber slicing, force throwing, storm trooper pwning action.

 

[elilupe]

I hate to say it, but I thought Star Fox Adventures was actually pretty fun. Except for the parts with that god-damned baby dino thing.

I loved that game, I thought the mech battles were a ton of fun and being able to destroy stuff while running around on foot was awesome. Whoever tells you that games sucks is stupid, perhaps they were just frustrated at how difficult it was some times. I tried to play it through a second time on a harder difficulty but got absolutely destroyed and gave up.

great game

Drakan: The Ancient Gates not sure if no one liked it or not but seemed that no one had ever heard of it. My favorite dragon related game i've ever played.

Raze's Hell creative killing was all that mattered

 

[BlindMessiah94]

This wasn't by any means considered a "bad" game but got an overall "meh" review from almost everyone I talked to (mainly because they never finished the bloody thing and the story's ending is specifically the BEST part), but Second Sight.
I love that game and it is in my top 20 of all time for sure.

Also...

Spoiler: Don't judge me)

It seems like a lot of people have poor opinions of Oblivion, but I loved it. It has faults obviously, but it helped me pass a lot of time in the early days of the Xbox 360.

Red Ninja

Great character design, innovative game mechanics and cool story all wrapped up in a game that, for once, actually made both stealth and open combat extremely viable options for almost every scenario.

Problem is, the graphics weren't great and the game had extremely slippery controls (which is a definite issue when there are as many precise platforming sections as there are in the game). With practice you could get a hang of the controls but when things got really precise it was always a struggle.

The game got mediocre to poor reviews and I guess I can't really say they weren't totally undeserved, but damn this game deserved more love anyways for what it did right... oh and if any game deserves a reboot, it's this one.

It didn't get horrible reviews, but I really liked Matrix: The Path of Neo. It might just be because of how much I LOVE the Matrix trilogy, but I had a lot of fun with the game. The beginning with the training levels had some of my favorite parts, especially the black and white sword fighting level. It did get a little crazy near the end, but I did like seeing the characters in different situations than the movie.

 

[The Real Sandman]

Fuck any and all who say Earth Defence Force: 2017 can't be better than Halo, Killzone, Modern Warfare, or any other popular shooter out right now. Because it practically is.

 

[derintrel]

i quite enjoyed haze and a lot of people didn't seem to like that any.

MegamanX:Command Mission.

Its a Turn based JRPG MegamanX game.

I really enjoyed it.
It was a good JRPG "Fix" and had some interesting characters.
