Piggy-backing on Zen444's post about games that "sucked" but you loved, conversely, what game received broad accolades that you personally despised?

I realize I'm in the minority on this (but isn't that the point of this thread?), but I was more disappointed with Halo 2's single-player game than I have ever been with a hightly-anticipated FPS.  It seemed like a total rehash, except shorter, and with a weaker story.  I know the VGC loved it, but I do agree with the question he posed: why did this game take three years to make?

Mario 64. HATE 3D games. That one convinced me to bypass
the N64 alltogether.

I don't abhor Viewtiful Joe (GC), but I definitely don't think it is as good as many reviews made it out to be.  I also got pretty bored with Black and White (PC) after only 3 levels (is it ok to talk about PC games on this forum?).

I strongly disagree.  While FF 8 may be a bit overrated, FF 7 got me into RPGs and it's still one of my favorites.  Did you give it a chance?
