Games with good graphics that sucked

[acertim]

Everyone says graphics don't make games, well what are some games that fell short on the gameplay side but had really good graphics?

FINAL FANTASY X

FINAL FANTASY X-2

Was Doom 3 really that bad? I never played the game completely, just a copy at a friends house for a few levels. From what I played it was pretty dark and scary. The sound was done very well, although there wasn't that much variation in the characters or gameplay. But it did seem like it was a fit installment for the doom series to me.

Need For Speed Underground

way back in the late 1990s, (1998 I think) a PC game called Trespasser. :p I thought the graphics were amazing :pinch:

[OrenSparkyBoi]

The Legend of Dragoon (man, it sucked!)

Enter the Matrix

Ecco the Dolphin

Tekken 4

Unreal 2

Myst IV

Like the movie Stealth, which might as well have just been called, "BANG!" The special effects don't really do much to mask the crappy acting and horrid plotline.

deus Ex - graphics way before its time.. amazing!

system shock 2 - boring, but amazing graphics.

Star Wars: Rebel Assault - "cinematic" adventure. Using "photorealistic" visuals to move your Xwing on an entirely predetermined path.

Deus Ex 2 it was one of the first games to use Bloom and killed your system when you switched it on but nowadays if the game doesn't have bloom then the developer has taken more time on the game. The game on a whole was a big disapointment i couldn't even complete it i was that disgusted.

damn, that was must be some nasty crack you're smoking. FFX was alright, FFX-2 however I must agree with.

Dungeon Siege - If I liked watching things fight by themselves, I'd watch a movie

Need for Speed: Underground (1 and 2) - Very repetitive (but it's a racing game, so how original can it really get?)

System Shock 2 was great. I can't remember having such a thourough game. Being able to pick up game cartridges off the floor and play them on your pda, whilst playing the main game. Very freaky as well - "Iiiii Seeeee Yoouuuuu...."

Anyway, to the topic.

WHAT!

deus Ex wasnt THAT brilliant graphically for the time, it popped up not too far from Quake 3. It did look ok but. Gameplay wise it rocked.

[Whiffle]

Doom 3 - got boring

I thought Deus Ex was fun... at least it had a story.

oooh the good old days :happy:

[Leo Natan]

Guys, stop dissing Doom 3... It's was not bad at all!

I'll add Armies of Exigo, which was an amazing looking fantasy strategy game, but was bad gameplay-wise.

[huddy]

I have to agree Doom3 was very pretty, but very, very, very dull.

Let's hope Quake 4 isn't so dark and repetitive.

[Goldin]

farcry was a huge disapointment once you got into the interior levels. looked ace though

[Vice]

Doom 3. So boring.. corridor corridor corridor corridor. oh what's that? a door? oh look another corridor..

HL2:DM lol Looks hot but also boring.
