Name a game that got bad reviews, but you actually liked the game.

[Pancham Cutie]

I forgot to mention in the title because it was to long was to actually put down some bad reviews that you agreed on.So far the only games that I have seen that fit this thread is are:
24: The game - A really good game. Based of the T.V. series and it is actually good. Everything was good about this game. I don't know why critics call this game horrible (they were probably d***k at the time that they reviewed it)

Pimp My Ride - Another T.V. based game where you take peoples' cars and give them new looks and make it look the vehicle into a car that they always wanted. You can take a car, give it good looking paint, tires, accesories, and even a garden or maybe even a T.V. set and a pool table in it. However the only problem is that every single girl in the game freaked out way to much mostly the first girl you ever meet.

Dawn of the Dead - A game based off the movie, but nothing to do with the movie, if you play a few hours into it you can bet that this game will scare the p*** out of you. Zombies pop out of every where, make scary sounds when they are near, walk creepy, and they actually sometimes sneak up behind you or even pop in right in front of you.

Tenchu Z - This game had a few problems in it like the characters mouths didn't move at all and the graphics weren't next gen. But that is ok because none of that really matters -in games. You can choose from pre-faced males and females and then make them into ultimate ninjas. The main problem with the game was the co-op. Connection was terrible and when everyone was talking during the mission their voices always laged. The only way to actually fixed this problem was to start a party or invite someone to a private chat.

The Guy Game - Should I say more. This is the ultimate party game for guys. Girls should never ever play this game and little kids should stay away from this game. This is only best suited for teens and adults.

Killer 7 - Even though most critic reviews on this game were good, it only takes 1 critic review to be on here. I don't know if the critics who gave this game a bad review d**** or they had 5yr olds review the game and then take their words. There is no argument that this is one of the best games of all time and one of the best games for the Gamecube and PS2.

Geist - A great gamecuube exclusive. You goal is to find your body while trying to destroy a whole company and the only way to do that is being a ghost and scaring the living s*** out of them and then poscessing their bodies. The only thing I didn't like was the snail boss battle. The cutscene where it shows the boss entering was too disgusting.

CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder & CSI: Hard Evidence - Really fun point and click games. You know the TV series so you know what the games are like. The only problem was that each game was way to short and CSI: 3 didn't work on my computer and gave me annoying pop-ups.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - A really fun PS2 exclusive. How in the world can this game be horrible if it based and is actually as good as the anime series. They have the orginal voice-actors, characters, places, and those tachikomas (however it is spelled). Over all this game is just plain great the graphics, story, characters, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, and Batou's Death line where he goes "Major , I'm sorry." The only problem with this game was one of Major Motoko Kusanagi's costumes. It made it to from purple hair and red eyes to white hair and I don't know what the color of the eyes where. This is a must pick up game for the PS2.

Now for the games that got bad reviews and that I agree with:

The Burger King Games: When I was 11 when the games first came out I thought that they were going to be fun. I was a stupid, stupid child. After 2 or 3yrs after having the games I started to realize that the games were horrible. These 3 Xbox and Xbox 360 exclusives were just horrible. The only time I play these games is when I want to get achievements, beat the games, or out of boredom. Stay away from these games. And did mention that the buger king in sneak king is a d****e bag for sneaking up on people and scaring them and then only to give them food. Just take my advice and stay far away from these games. Besides you can not buy these games anymore, but they sell them on ebay. If you see these games and thinking about playing just remeber that the Buger King in these games is a d****e bag for scaring people then giving them food.

I am sorry of this is to long, but what can you expect.

Tomb Raider The Angel Of Darkness- gotta love bugs and glitches everywhere and it also has a Very Deep Storyline

Here are some more games that got bad reviews, but were actually fun to me:

Perfect Dark Zero - How is this game awful? There is absoulty nothing that is wrong with this game. Everyting about this game is great except for the ending. So how is this game so bad? Is it because it is a sequel to the orginal Perfect Dark on the 64, one of the best games ever, if that is the reason then the critics who talked bad about this game must be geeks.

Blacksite Area 51 - How in the h**l is this game bad. This game is awsome. The only bad thing about this game is the command system and the multiple glitches with some of the characters and the multiplayer system was kind of crap as well, but I don't care the game is good.

Kane and Lynch: Dead Men - A very awsome game so why is it getting bad reviews, is it because it you uses the f**k way to much, is it because it some parts where so hard, or is it because it was a great game. I really love this game, some parts, mostly in Havannah, are way to hard. Had some funny dialoge, and the game was just plain bad-a**. The problems I have with this game is that the AI was dumb (dumber than Sheva). The multiplayer was craptastic due that if the everyone had bad connection to the host then the host would lag then the host game would frezze, and we all hate teamkillers, well if you play online on this game you will find alot of teamkillers because in the instruction manual it says that you had to kill your team mates if you wanted more money. And that all my save data on the game was corrupt and U had to start the game all over. but otherwise great game.

Bad reviews that I agree on:
Spawn: Drake of the 99 dragons - This game is awful. Everyting about this licked my a** from the graphics to the camera.

A game got good reviews but more or less flopped. It's rare this happens so I want to mention this game. It's a favorite game of mine. It is Magic & Mayhem (review) (Mythos Games and Bethesda Softworks, 1998).

By the way a few reviewers commented on the lack of depth in the strategy of this game. After playing it as much as I have I assure you this is not true. If you look hard enough you'll find a lot of underlying synergy between your spells and creatures, and each mission in the campaign has various approaches to completing it.

It even has an AI that observes your play style and adapts its play style to yours.

What impresses most is the music.

==================================================

Tomb Raider The Angel Of Darkness- gotta love bugs and glitches everywhere and it also has a Very Deep Storyline

Angel of Darkness got bad reviews? I can't remember any Tom Raider reviews. But when I was in the game store to buy Tom Raider games, the guy behind the till adviced me to skip Angel of Darkness because it was not good. So I bought only Anniversary and Underworld in the series.

He gave spesific reasons why Angel of Darkness was bad, but I don't remember them now. At least he was honest, I was prepared to buy it but I put it back on the shelf.

 

[Pancham Cutie]

I think Angel of Darkness did get some bad reviews seeing that the lowest it got from a critic was a 5.3 from IGN. I consider that a bad review and the game was not even terrible.

Any way some more games that I know that got bad reviews:
Mercenaries 2 - Are you f**king joking. This game. This game got a bad score from a critic. Yes and this game wasen't even terrible. It is free-roaming like GTA except it is rated T and you can destroy buildings. The critics probably sucked at it when they played it because it is a good game, one of the best.

Mirror's Edge - Yes this game is great, but like I said one bad review from a critic and it gets thrown on here. The only critic that gave it a bad review was Edge. Why did they give it a 5? The game is great. It was short, but it was fun. The music, graphics, levels, characters, enemies, and the story. This game is a win! The critics at Edge must have sucked at the game because the game was challenging, but it was fun and easy. Lesson to all critics: Just because it is hard doesn't mean it sucks.

Reviews that I agree with:
Monster Garage - What a pile of s**t. This game was fun for the first 2 levels, but when the 3rd level came it had problems. It tells you what to buy, but it doesen't mention how much you need to buy. In every level before it tells you what to do except at 3 and after. Every character was un reasonable. Some of them quit for no reason. It is boring when they are fixing evrything and at the time you didn't have anything to do. Don't buy this game I was an idiot ti buy it. I may go back to it just to beat it or out of bordom.

 

[Romero]

Believing you were right and that Mercenaries 2 is a good game, I read some reviews. But unless the reviews are full of lies this game is really flawed. It could be entertaining, but that depends on what you expect from a game, I guess.

I really liked Lost: The Video Game.
Because I love the show, I had to buy the game when it came out, I thought it was really good and connected with the show very well. The only downfall was that they didn't have all the voice actors for the parts and the game could be completed in under 5 hours, but I liked it

 

[Jason-Voorhees]

the main problem with Angel Of Darkness is that it was unfinished because Core was fired and so what they had done was worked with and sent as the released version, the original was supposed to be WAY longer and more polished textures and graphics, i love the story , very good compaired to the recent ones and Lara just looks great.

More games that got bad reviews, but I enjoy:

The House of the Dead: Overkill - This game is just f***in awsome. It was gory, bloody, fun, and it was funny. I even liked the profanity of the game, they say f**k in almost every single sentence and even the one civilan that wanted soup even says that all he wanted was some f***ing soup. Some of the funniest part included one woman who said "Mutants, I got muntants in my pantry", then there is, Announcer:"Issac Washington. Make him mad and he rip your b***s off. Issac(just seconds laater):"I am going to rip your mother f***ing b***s off." And there is one part in the director's cut where the zombies are dancing to music. This game only got 2 bad reviews and like I said 1 bad review and gets on here.

Still Life - This was a fun puzzel solving game. It had a great story line, good graphicss, some comedy, and very challenging puzzels (harder puzzels then the RE games). The only bad side was that it was slow, you couldn't do anything except for collecting stuff, and 2 puzzels that were way to hard. The cookie puzzel was way to hard, how am I supposed to know how to make gingerbread cookies when all it says is crap like 2 spoons of love. Then there is the lock picking puzzel. It was way to hard and you didn't know what the h**l you were supposed to do.

John Woo presents Strangle Hold: This game was insane. Bullets flying everywhere, shiny graphics, nice blood effects, and an amazing story line. The bad things about it was that it was short, you only held a small amount of ammo for each gun, and that when time slowed down the screen turned red.

Starfox Adventures and Starfox Assualt - These games where good. You can call me a kid all you want because I like these games, but I don't care. Adventures was basically run and gun since they took out the flying, but hey its ok, it was still good. Starfox Assualt brought back the flying and run and gun it was awsome, but they still gave it bad reviews. These games where awsome. The bad thing about Starfox Adventures was one of the levels that I can't remeber. The bad thing about Starfox Assualt was nothing. The bad thing about both of them was that f***ing frog Slippy (I hate you!) He is such a p***y a** b***h.

Bad reviews that I agree on:
I can not think of one.
