There's an underrated games topic, so why not?
Mega Man 2- For me, whenever the subject of overrated games comes up, this is always the first one to come to mind. Many people consider this game to be the absolute best in the series, and considered it to be unrivaled up until Mega Man 9 (which is also pretty overrated) was made. I, on the other hand, consider it to be the worst. The game has garbage level design, shoddy object placement (where enemies will reappear before completely scrolling off the screen), and a broken Robot Master weakness cycle, where nearly ever boss is weak against the same weapon, including the one that it's obtained from. Truth be told, I actually used to like this game, despite its flaws, but the fanbase has pretty much killed this game for me. As of six years ago, almost any remaining fondness I've had for the game has pretty much flown out the window.
Sonic Colors (Wii version)- Many people in the Sonic fandom, especially the classic purists, claim that this is the game that "saved" the franchise, labeling anything between this game and Sonic 3 & Knuckles as garbage. While I did have some degree of fun with this game, it just didn't do it for me the same way that the so-called "terrible" games did. For starters, I hate how this game continued the trend of only Sonic being playable, with everyone else being brushed aside and treated as if they're insignificant (due to people complaining about "shitty friends" and whatnot). Secondly, I wasn't very impressed with the storyline, and as far as the writing is concerned, it's almost as if the writers were trying to be funny in every scene, and failing miserably at it (with a few exceptions). Thirdly, the soundtrack was pretty bland compared to the past games (aside from a select few songs), and lastly, the gameplay felt like a severely watered-down Sonic Unleashed (PS3/360) engine. Again, this isn't an outright terrible game, but I don't consider it to be anywhere near as flawless as so many people make it out to be. I had far more fun with the DS version (which many people have deemed inferior to the Wii version).
Sonic Generations - When this game was first announced, I was out-of-my-mind excited for it. Unfortunately, it ended up being a total letdown. The game ended up being ridiculously short, had a selection of stages that seemed as if they were randomly pulled out of a hat, a bare-bones, nearly non-existent plot, and somewhat sluggish controls...at least when it came to Classic Sonic's gameplay, along with Super Sonic. Like Colors, I don't consider the game to be a hundred percent terrible, but at the same time, it just wasn't all it was hyped up to be. It basically has "wasted potential" written all over it.
