OK, we've had bad company. We've had good company.
But who's the most overrated?
My top three picks, in no paticular order.
Rare: Had a couple good SNES games, a couple good N64 games, and a whole lot of bombs. On top of this, Rare's games rarely have a good shelf-life... only two I can think of that I still find enjoyable from time to time are Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. Again, Nintendo didn't put up a fight for a reason.
Treasure: They're still living on a the reputation of Gunstar Heroes almost 10 years after the fact. Sure, they've had a couple games I would say are 'good' (Mischief Makers and Ikargu), but for the most part Treasure's games are weak, overly difficult, too short, and have no self-life. From what I've seen of Wario World so far and from all the reviews I've read, it's pretty much the same thing: repeditive and incredibly short. Treasure doesn't know how to make a game good or difficult... all they do is throw more badguys at you and unblockable weapon fire. There's a reason why people always bring up Gunstar Heroes when they talk about Treasure: Because they haven't done anything else worth mentioning. And yet they still get verbal blowjob everytime they produce a new game.
Capcom: Sure, they were great 10 years ago, but what have you done for me lately? By all accounts the new Gamecube Mega-Man is as bland as bland can be. For Resident Evil they keep recyclying the same crap over and over again... this is a company that has never heard the term "innovation." And if they heard it, they would likely wet thier pants and run screaming for the hills. And Viewtiful Joe... I've played the demo and while the idea seems nice, the demo itself already had me bored by the end of it. Come on Capcom, you're better then this.
