[quote name='ViolentLee']People mentioning Fable have a good point. It didn't turn out near as good as I hoped, and I quickly forgot about it.
I'll say most Square games and Star Wars games are overrated. I'm not saying they're bad (I love KOTOR, FF VI/X, etc.), but some people give them an extra point or two (or more) just because of the fact that they're Square games or Star Wars games. Front Mission 4 is a good example -- I disliked it, but most reviewers scored it high.
Most overrated, in my opinion, is the Mario Party series. I absolutely hate those games and have no idea why anyone can have fun with them. Here's what I think, though, as always, it's just my opinion, and I know others disagree:

Funny, I was thinking that the Donkey Kong Country series was one of the most overrated games I can remember.
It was a fun platformer, don't get me wrong. But because of the graphics technology used to develop the game, it was treated like the second coming of the messiah in previews; anything less than the most stellar platforming experience would have been a disappointment.
And it was a slightly above-average platformer.
Part of me also wants to nominate Killer Instinct.
