I am hugely dissappointed with GTA IV. The driving missions are monotonous, there are no in game check points, and overall the gameplay plainly sucks.

Spore REALLY should've made this list, was even more hyped then GTA4 and turned about to be a really shallow game with frankly uninspiring editors. But since it's not in the list, I have to go with GTA4: same stuff all over again, minus all the funny over-the-top stuff that made other GTA's fun plus an extremely annoying friend system (this is not The Sims!!! same applies to San Andreas for the excersise thing), incredibly repetative missions and Nico was unlikeable. Ofcourse it ain't all bad, I think it looked great, Times Square (well, GTA's version) by night was pretty impressive.
I heard about GTA4's performance problems on the PC, but what's so unplayable about Fallout 3's PC version?goodman528 said:
voted Fable 2, not because I didn't like it, in fact I thought it was good. But just not as good as everyone was saying it would be. They were talking about it being more Fable with some extras. I'm still waiting for the extras... It's just more Fable, which is okay for me since I loved the first one, but I thought the point of sequels was to add more not just rehash the old and give it a small make-over.
however I would have voted Spore if it was up there, the sheer amount of hype for the years before its release really make it the winning title for the most overrated game. They promised an evolution sim, they gave us a Space Age game with crappy mini-games that you have to play through to get there.

Cant believe Gears 2 didnt make the list... and the 360 is the only current gen console I own. I voted for GTA4, Ive still not finished it. Just not very inspiring.
I can see whats being said about CoD 5 WAW. Its a good game, although the spawns drive me mad on muiltiplayer. The problem is that COD4 was the best shooter ever made. Its a tough act to follow.
Now Im so excited about CoD modernwarfare 2 I dont see how I cant be disappointed when it finally arrives. My hopes are so high a little bit of wee just came out...

Yes if the poll were about overhyped games No More Heroes would've been replaced with Mirror's Edge. But this poll is about overrated games: games that the reviewers gave overly rave reviews for. No More Heroes was given very high scores by the critics even though it was a shallow and poorly developed game.Eclectic Dreck said:
How many times do I have to explain this?
Fallout 3 all the way. Kids complain Fo 1-2 suck and fo 3 rulzor but its almost the other way around. No big cities full of addicted junkies or porn studios to get some pocket money or anything that made the originals awesome and atmospheric. Fucking bethesda. Not like its a bad game its just overrated.
Fable II, definitely. I still can't believe how Edge gave it a 9. If that wasn't enough, the game was runner-up for GOTY. Grand Theft Auto IV was hugely over-rated as well with the difference that it did have at least some quality behind it. Not enough for all those 10ers though.
