Took the word right out of my mouth. I can't think of anything else to add, though. Btw, did you switch to dualstick controls in the options menu? I thought that significantly boosted the game's appeal.

Super Paper Mario

I was literally just about to say Super Paper Mario. Honestly, I loved the story and villains in this game which made up for the easy gameplay. And I also loved Gen 3 of Pokemon. I've heard a lot of people don't like it but it was my first Pokemon game and I loved it.

Oh right. I keep forgetting that doesn't have a lot of fans. It was a 2D Mario Platformer with a 3D gimmick, a life bar, and a greater focus on exploration. And Luigi. As far as I'm concered, it's the best Mario platformer ever.

1. Yoshi's Story- Yes, it's very easy and short, but with an adorable presentation and cute, artistic graphics
2. Wario World- Yes, it's very short, but it's also a bunch of fun. Also, so far it's the only 3D Wario platformer game there is.
3. Star Fox Adventures- It wasn't meant to be a pure Star Fox game to begin with. It has beautiful graphics for a Gamecube game, good voice-acting, and good music.
4. Epic Mickey- I think the original game is pretty good. The camera never bothered me at all.
5. Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion- It's very short and I wish it was longer, but it does well with what it has and is a great homage to short, classic Disney video games.

Phantom Hourglass

• Final Fantasy XII - I thought it was much better than people gave it credit for. The battle system was a bit too MMO-ish. It had someone like Vaan as a main character and it was a grind-fest so I understand why people might not like it.
• Grandia III - Not a bad game at all but gets hate because it's nowhere near as good as the first two.
• Final Fantasy XIII - It wasn't as bad as people told me it was. The second half of the game made up for the horrible first half and the battle system is great.
• Prince of Persia (2008) - Much better than Warrior Within and Two Thrones in my opinion but not as good as The Sands of Time.
• Assassin's Creed - Repetitive but the story is great and engrossing.
• Call of Duty 4 - I know it's cool to hate on CoD now but this game was fun and balanced. Great community on PC for a long time. Everything after... not so much and populated with swearing children.
• Devil May Cry 2 - Just kidding, nobody likes this game.

Yeah XII was pretty cool. Also it was kinda the prototype for Xenoblade, so it makes sense that it's the only FF after IX I enjoy.

Isn't COD4 like, considered one of the best entries in the series? The only people who don't seem to like it, are the people who don't like COD (or FPSers) in general.

• Yoshi's Island DS: I don't odd.
• Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure 3DS: To be fair, a lot of critics that reviewed this DO like it, but most of the actual Skylanders fanbase hate it, for some reason(while I still hold it as the best single player experience of the franchise).

I can't think of many other games that are largely hated that I really like... There are a lot more beloved games I thought were heavily overrated.

Grandia III is probably my least liked game that I'm absolutely going to play through a second time someday (not totally sure if that's actually a thing). I didn't care for the story and the only two characters I liked leave the party early on, but I love the Grandia battle system so much that I almost don't mind. It's one of the few RPGs where I'd constantly go out of my way to seek out enemy encounters, even when I didn't need any items or experience.

I like that game too. And, thankfully, Vaan is only the "main" character for the first handful of hours before he fades into much more of a supporting role for the more important and interesting characters, like Balthier, Ashe and Basch.

I want to play more of FFXII, but I really can't justify it now that I own Xenoblade Chronicles...

Yoshi's Island DS. I don't think it's a classic or as good as the original, but I do think it's a good game with some fairly interesting levels and some great boss battles. And some of the music is actually sort of decent (like the intro and final boss theme).

Pac Man World 3: Some of it was frusturating, but it was a nice way to celebrate Pacman's 25th.
Shadow the Hedgehog: I just like this game. I see some faults in it, however the missions were fun, I liked the multiplayer mode, and it looked nice on the Gamecube.
Samurai Sword Destiny: The controls are a little bad, but the 3D is great, and the RPG elements and gameplay is quite fun. But I still can't beat that final boss.

I played Duke Nekuem Forever and liked it, then all the call of duty fanboys ran away from me...............good:)
