Okay, so I won't say Halo, umm, Prince of Persia (2008)? Okay, that doesn't meet the credentials either, umm, I can't do this without my own objective opinion...
The most average game ever

Wasn't bad, wasn't fantastic, but good enough to be played and enjoyed. Story was good, but maybe the game wasn't long enough for it to be fleshed out properly, but the ending was interesting. Action was fun, but not too in-depth or complex, some variety in it with puzzles, although not too challenging, and not a breeze in one attempt either. Models, world and graphics looks good but not amazing, overall just sits in that spot for me. Average-good game.

Ok I know you said not to mention the Halo franchise because people like it. But from my perspective I thought the games were pretty darn average. Not bad, I'm not going to jump up and yell to the heavans that it's a load of crap. Just mediocre.
EDIT: And why aren't we able to include games like "Halo", If one honestly felt the game was average let them speak there mind.

One, I'd appreciate you not calling me a dick. I wasn't crying, just trying to improve the forum community by either a) getting more people to read the OP or b) removing trolls.Greenhand said:
Two, read the OP:
Then read my post. Arkham Asylum was critically acclaimed and the OP specifically states no Halo.Glass Joe the Champ said:
So yeah. It helps to be right when you're on a moral high horse.
The last two COD games, and probably CODMW3 were both pretty mediocre.
The MOST mediocre game i've ever played was The Saboteur. Nothing wrong with it, but it didn't do anything new.

When you mention a game that everyone else loved or hated and say it was average, what you're really talking about is how the game was disappointing or over/underrated. I was trying to find a game that is neither bad, good, overrated, underrated, disappointing, pleasantly surprising, or anything similar.

Sorry
Halo is average to me
That's just my opinion
Had I have read what the topics creator had written I would never have written what I did.
PacMan. It's notable for historic relevance and might have been fantastic at one time but seems to have been downgraded to solid and average now-a-days.
Any mainstream game on the Wii is mostly average, other than fitness games because sport isn't a game it's a form of torture.
Also, Dragon Age 2 which would have been considered average if it weren't for all the hype that made it incredibly disappointing.

Ultimate Alliance 2 wasn't as good as the first and probably killed any chance of their being a third but I liked it. I had enjoyed it and really need to get it back. I enjoyed the characters but hated how I didn't recognize any of the villains (the ones you fight anyway).4173 said:
Now that I think about it, Ultimate Alliance was pretty average too. Sure you fight Galactus but I didn't think the Galactus fight wasn't really all that epic.
Final note: Star Wars the Force Unleashed. Could have been great but could have been much, much worse.
Call of Duty games.
I mean, they're not as horrible as some people let on. They're just...Meh. Kinda fun with a group of friends.
Other candidates:
Disgaea series (Freaking hilarious, yeah. But hasn't done anything new or interesting since 2)
Transformers: War For Cybertron (I was hoping for something a bit more akin to the Armada game. What I got was alright, I guess)
Prototype (I don't really have a reason. I just used it as a timewaster when I was bored)

I was going to say halo 2, since after the first one it just felt... average, as a lot of the things halo did were already being copied by so many other developers at the time... but I guess that's not allowed... so I will instead choose Brink because even though it has a whole lot of awesome stuff in it... it just feels... so average in every other way... I mean I play it every once in awhile... but it's not really remarkable to me... sure the movement system is freakin awesome... it's just that the game FEELS so uninteresting most of the time... just feels like ANOTHER team based tactical shooter with level-y achievements and such...
I keep coming back to this. Dark Sector was so mediocre a game that I still despise it to this day. I mean honestly, how on earth does anyone manage to make decapitations uninteresting?Arqus_Zed said:

Probably the first Lost Planet. It wasn't bad, but I found it really forgettable.
Another would be WET. I expected to at least have a little more fun with it than most people did, but it was just meh.
Also, Call of Duty 2.
I'm sorry, but I found it boring for the most part. I actually like the newer COD games better

It's astounding how few people read the OP before posting. I went threw this entire thread just shaking my head in disappointment. lrn2rd
I'll go with Mafia 2 like some others here. It's not a baaaad game per say. The graphics are nice, the setting is great, the gameplay is solid, but it's just average everywhere else. The game has no side quests so it's basically A to B with no chance to do something else. Having different things to do besides the story is essential if your game is open world like this, if you don't whats the point of making it a sandbox when the game could have just been level based.

That's cool, I understand what you mean, I think it's waaaaaaaaay over rated. Don't get me wrong, it's a good game; I just don't think it deserves some of the acclaim it receives.KnightOfHearts said:
But yeah, as the OP said, I think the thread is more about "general consensus" average than "personal preference" average.
Tron Evolution.
It was fun.
It wasn't great.
The cutscenes took theirselves far too seriously, the light-cycle races were just pretty versions of Tux Race, the tanks were cool but failed to recognise the concept of "mouse play", there were a few dodgy fixed camera-angle moments, combat was uninspiring and cool.
Played the whole way through thinking "hm
".

".I played Dow II and Retribution (the stand alone expansion) and I tell you the first levels of boths games are incredibly boring but it gets a lot better a soon as you start leveling up and gearing up your squads.Jake Lewis Clayton said:
Back on topic, one of the most mediocre game I played is Darksiders...
It wasn't that bad but the one button combat never got me interested enough to keep playing.
This, "Dark Sector"... Daaark sectoor, even the name is uninteresting.Lord Mountbatten Reborn said:
The game is the very definition of average, apart from the opening act, it was just plain boring.
But the again, it didn't do anything wrong.
Graphics are not bad, just mediocre. Art style is boring, yet it looks kind of original, kind of...(If that makes sense)
There is a large variety of enemies, but they are almost all uninteresting.
The combat works well, but it's too repetitive.
