I recently looked at Metroid:The Other M's reception and it was positive to mixed, which dumbfounded me so I thought. There always good games that got bad reviews posts, why not bad games that got good to mixed reviews. Thoughts?
In before Halo, Gears, Half Life bashing
The closest I can think is Killzone 2, I think is highly over-rated but still a solid game. I rented it specifically TRYING to hate it and I couldn't I couldn't help but admit it was fundamentally right. But not a 9.1 right. There just wasn't enough to it yet it was not at the other nd of extremely pure kind of gameplay, it was lumpy but brisk.
I suppose the only BAD game I have played that was highly rated, and I mean so bad I regret playing even an hour of let alone TWENTY HOURS of: Final Fantasy X. FUUUUUCK, I gave that game so many chances to begin to get good and it. never. did.
Ah well, maybe there is some aspect of that schlock someone else likes but I didn't find a single redeeming feature for playing it.
The combat was unengaging, the leveling was uninspiring, the characters were terribly presented and the main plot meandering along like a side-quest. CGI was good... for year 2000.
It's not that there was anything to hate, just nothing to like.

BioShock 2 comes to mind.
But that game was so under rated, clearly only by comparison to the original Bioshock. In comparison to all the other games on the market it did so much right.
Did you play it on PC or console? Everyone who hated it played it on console, I'm telling you games like that do not work on console.
Where did bioshock 2 fall short? What aspects did you hate? What aspects do you think were missing or fell critically short?
