GTA: Vice City is definitely overrated, and I've been anti-Nintendo since the Genesis days . It's repetitive, the aiming is poor, the physics are as horrible as in Half-Life 1, and generally the only fun thing in it is just driving around enjoying the sunset and the radio. But I thing you can knock out the aiming problem for the PC version. Either way, if you want a fun "drive around, steal cars, and shoot people", get Mafia. Though unfortunately, you only get the GTA freedom after winning the game. And the game's pretty damn hardcore.
Halo is fun and not that overrated. NFS Underground is simple, but it's also a lot of fun. Beats most racing games, IMHO. Counter-Strike is even more fun (especially if you're as skilled/lucky/devious at it as I am).
As for Click games, I'd say both ED and The Spirit Engine are the most overrated so far. ED was yet another boring platformer, but with lotsa tiny details. I merely mentioned that it looked "commander keen-ish" (i.e. typical) once on the Blackeye Software postboard and everyone there bashed me back inside and outside the postboards for several months.
TSE was fun at first, then it got really, really repetitive. Yeah, there's cutscenes, multiple characters, details, etc, but I've seen plenty of more fun games that nobody even talked of (e.g. Legend of Baldric).
And Mr. Coffee, there is such a thing about overratedness. Most people won't admit it, but humans are horribly vulnerable to propoganda. If they haven't played a game and everyone says that it's good, they'll just go about trying to "fit in" by saying that it's good till they get the game. Then even when they don't like the game, since they can't back up and say "You know what? This game sucks!" after saying that it looked like fun so long ago. Us game lovers may not do so, but I can name a hundred people who do.
If people weren't so vulnerable to propoganda, Coca Cola and Pepsi wouldn't be even be 1% as big as they are.

There's um... Aladdin for the Genesis. And the WWE games, if you consider those long WWE matches as movies.
