With all the talk in the Shenmue III review thread about what the game is going to score from critics, there's been a lot of belief that the game will receive mid range scores. I'm of the belief that it will probably sit somewhere around 60 to 70 on MetaCritic, which to me, is not an entirely terrible score.
It got me thinking though that I actually quite enjoy a number of games that got average scores.
For instance
Shadows of the Damned has a fairly average Meta Critic rating of 76....yet for me, it was one of my favourite games of last gen. An underrated and overlooked gem of a game.
God Hand has a 73 on Metacritic -- I really enjoyed the game none the less and would call it one of my favourite PS2 games.
Yakuza (PS2 original) -- 75 on Metacritic....again, one of my favourite games from the PS2 era.
Yakuza 3 sits at 79 on Metacritic....yet for me, I consider it one of my favourites in the Yakuza franchise.
Deadly Premonition is 68 on Metacritic....yet somehow, someway, it's actually getting a sequel next year and has quite the cult following (I still haven't played it, but I should rectify it one day)
The Last Guardian only got a 7.8 from IGN...if you asked me though, it's one of my favourite games of the generation.
So what about the rest of you? What are some lower (or average) rated games that you really enjoyed?
