Lot of excellent games that i love with all my heart mentioned here, but they aren't flawless.
Every game i mention here i love with a passion but still have small points of hate
Soul Reaver and Ocarina have some serious level design problems i.e. points where you end up lost and back tracking through the whole level only to find that you were in the right place at the start, the door was just up above your head and you can't see it because of the mat shading invisibility issues (If you don't know what i mean think of the leap of faith bridge from Last Crusade)

Tetris is so long and really difficult and finishing it is a real achievement but that happens only through a mixture of incredible luck and practice and incredible luck

the JRPG's flaw is always going to be grinding and though FF7 came close, some of the flaws are incredibly annoying. Just to name a few: ruby weapon's tentacle attack being instant death to the entire party, Female characters being useless (yifi, Tifa i'm looking at you) all the time you spend on aeris' character being a waste. the fact you couldn't skip the Knights of the round cinematic.

Goldeneye is close but every single person has a different item to hate, mine is the blasted invincibility cheat, i have come within 2 seconds of the target time, and that is as close as i have ever gotten. I know two people who have done it, i know its possible, but I cannot do it. I amn't sure if everyone seeing a different flaw doesn't make the game flawless but its not for me.

Sonic3 and knuckles you had to buy two games for, which was a lot of money for what should have been one game.

Two ones that haven't been mentioned thatI think are almost perfect in multiplayer but suffer from annoying and/or boring single player are Super street fighter 2 and mariokart

GT2 has a problem with repetetiveness (and also who has 24 hours to race a single endurance race?

the only two I can't think of flaws for are Day of the Tentacles (Monkey Island style comedy point and click with a funny H2G2 style story) and alone in the dark (the orignal pc version) but that may be nostalgia

Starcraft: Unbalanced.
Could you explain this one? I really beg to differ...


For me, it has to be Chrono Trigger. Not once did I have a problem in that game that made me grr at it. The music is awesome, the mood was set, the action was swift and shiny, and the story was engaging. Yum yum yum...

Now, remember, we're talking a game I never had any issues with while playing and look to as unto a gift from God.

Ghostbusters - 360

As justification for my stance: I love that movie like a religion. My pantheon of gods are the comic actors of that age, SCTV, early SNL, etc. Damn perfect.

I think Half-Life 2 is the most well-made game I've ever played. I can criticize it, but it's the last game I would criticize.

Halo: CE is a close second. I actually LIKE Halo:CE more, but I think HL2 is more perfect if that makes sense.
Halo 2 is definitely not beyond critiquing.. especially the PC version. Also, yeah it did make sense.

It's of my personal opinion that this is as close to gaming perfection as we've gotten. Likeable characters, great voicework, an interesting storyline with unexpected twists, a genuinely fun battle system and one of the deepest fusion systems in a game to date. The only thing that you can really complain about is the hour and a half before you really start getting into Social Links, dungeon crawling and fusing but that's about it.
I second this individual.

Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 4, Suikoden 2, Tetris, the first Bloody Roar and the first Unreal Tournament. Those are some that come to mind I really have no complaints about.

I'd like to say Diablo 2 since it may very well be my favorite, but as a direct result of having played it so much, I have more complaints about that game than any other.

As for everyone saying Portal, I just can't give that kind of praise to it. Portal was just way too short. The whole game felt like it should have just been the first level of many. It was awesome, but felt more like a demo than a game.

I'd say Psychonauts, I loved every second of it.

Also, Monkey Island 1, 2 and 3. I've replayed them so many times, I can remember the solutions to the puzzles in my sleep, yet for some reason, I still keep going back to them... probably to laugh at the witty humour all over again.

Apart from those, I have a couple of games that I would deem near perfect (at least for my style of play), but other people find them deeply flawed (such as the earlier Elderscrolls games and Fallout 1 & 2).

HL2 pissed me off no end. Only the final level justified having played through everything leading up to it. Maybe if I'd played it when it was first released I would have a different opinion. I much preferred the original, without the gimmicky physics and misleading level design.

OT: I would have difficulty criticising Deus Ex. If I had to, though, I guess it'd be a couple of points in the game where I'm forced to make a decision in a certain way. A lot of people disliked the combat in Deus Ex but I thought it was really well done.
