Over-hyped games are not always great. Every year there are some games that are not nearly as good as they are said to be.
Here are some truly hideous games that have been way over-hyped before their release.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When shopping for new video games you can often trust the name publisher or developer on the box to be an indication of the quality of the game. Names like Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Capcom, Xbox Game Studios and Sega are world famous because they helped shape the industry by releasing some of the most defining video games of all time. Though sometimes even these great gaming houses stumble and put out a stinker."
Splatterhouse remake . Loved the og’s at the arcade growing up . Hell the best thing about the remake was the og,s were included . And left alive by Square . That game had so much potential , but the gameplay was worse horrendous .
I'm pretty much certain that any Sonic game that comes out will be terrible, I've not enjoyed one since the original side-scrolling days of the MegaDrive.
The action-RPG by now-defunct Silicon Knights is now free for Xbox gamers! Check out the Too Human free direct download link with armor sets here.
Fun fact: I'm one of five people to have completed Too Human and actually liked it. It should be noted that the other four ended up in mental institutions....sadly.
I liked this game. It has it's flaws but the story and mechanics are pretty good. It still holds up today.
two worlds was hyped? ironically i like both two worlds and too human for the same reason: insane loot. the quest for better gear lets me overlook a myriad of flaws.
2 words: Modern Warfare....(2)
Modern Warfare 2 will always top that list for me.
I'm trying to decide how hyped HAZE really was though because I honestly can't remember. It had so much potential and rather than being annoyed about how bad it was i'm more disappointed about it because it could have been so good, and it's because of that game that Free Radical had to shut down and that we never got to see a Timesplitters 4. (Or at least, not yet.)
