Games everyone hates but you love?

Inspired by Dreama's post. This is the question in reverse.

For me a game I love that everyone seems to hate is...

Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde for nes.

I enjoyed Duke Nukem forever, Im not going to say it's a great game, it certainly should have been better in every aspect, but I did enjoy it for what it is

While technically Brutal Legend and Splatterhouse aren't games that I think everyone hates, I feel like they are games I love a lot more than others who didn't care for the games, as they weren't very critically liked, they didn't sell very well, and really only hit with a very niche audience.  Both I think are super awesome games.  Flawed, but good lol

Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku I for the GBA. Now this game got heavily criticized for lackluster gameplay including fetch quests, enemies are way too difficult requiring spamming tatics, and you can glitch when flying and get stuck, and that it takes a lot of liberties with the story. However, it was one of the first gba titles I managed to beat, and I thought some of the music was pretty good, ok graphics, and spamming bosses and finding new tricks motivated me to replay this game a few times after I originally beat it.  Unforunately, you will struggle with combat until you get Solar Flare, which is easily used to stun enemies for long periods of time, and used for 3/4ths of the game as the primary way to win.

Not sure about love, but I enjoyed Mega Man Star Force on the DS. It got some pretty crappy reviews, but I honestly didn't think it was that bad. As for MM Star Force 2... ugh, that one's a bit worse. Haven't gotten my mitts on 3 yet unfortunately.

I didn't like Star Force as much as Battle Network, but I definitely enjoyed it. Didn't know about 2 though... I should try it and see

I don't think I'd go as far as to say I "love" this game, but I enjoyed Alien Colonial Marines despite tons of bad reviews.

Cross Edge (PS3), but, that's always been very much a love it or hate it kinda' thing,

-and-

Stella Deus (PS2) never seemed to get much love.

I enjoyed Duke Nukem Forever. It is quite good, old school style game. I also liked Journey to the Planets for Atari 8-bit, while my friends said it was crap.

While I think Legacy of Goku II and Buu's Fury are far superior, and that I don't really find myself going back to Legacy I all that often, I still applaud the game for what it did, what it tried, and what it did right. It was not only one of the first GBA titles, but the first in the Legacy of Goku series, so being lackluster is excuseable. Plus, I am sucker for voice-acting and FMV cutscenes in my video games, I loved how you heard Goku yell "KAME-HAME-HAAAAA!!!" upon firing a fully charged Kamehameha, how he yelled "aaaarrhhhh" upon dying, and the fact that the game had FMV's taken from the anime^_^ It's a guilty pleasure, but not a bad game - just a game with some flaws that its sequels successfully ironed out.

--

That said, if I should pick a game, I'd say Chain of Memories. I love how that game forces you to think strategically instead of just button mashing till you win, the sprites are beautiful, the FMV cutscenes are impressive, I love the story, I absolutely ADORE the remake..... and everyone else hates the game for introducing the card gimmick^^'

I have Stella Deus, I think. I'll have to check it out eventually. But who knows when that'll be.

Everyone has different tastes & likes + dislikes, and all -but- I had fun with it (and I think that Kashell liked it too)!

Almost everyone who hates this game has no idea what they're talking about since they've never even played it! It has N64 graphics! The controls are horrible! You die too fast! Sheesh. These kids have no idea what a bad game is.

I beat this game from start to finish. If it wasn't for that game I wouldn't even like third person shooters at all.

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: A lot of people seem to have developed a hate for this game. Honestly my only complaints about it are that the Swimming could be better and Fuck that escort mission.

I liked Skyward Sword.  I hated the motion controls and Fi is more obnoxious than Navi, but I still really enjoyed the game.
