I'd say another overrated classic is Suikoden. It has the quantity over quality problem. What's the point of having 108 playable characters? The game gives a personality to maybe 5 of them, and over half of them maybe say 5-8 lines of speech in the entire game. Also, the giant army battles that every one raves about are just rock-paper-scissors with the worst graphical representation of an army I've ever seen. I laughed when I got to the first large scale battle at how silly it was. Combine that with the turn-based battles being simpler than NES era Dragon Quest, and you have a recipe for an overrated game.

Metroid Prime series. It did not hold a candle to the 90s and 2000s fps.

A lot of popular Ps2 era shooters, both first and third person. Don’t get me wrong, there are some absolute classics like Halo 1 and 2, but most are cookie-cutter rip offs of each other. I’ve played the likes of Medal of Honor, the early Call of Duties, Brothers in Arms, Killzone 1, SOCOM, etc. They’re all average to bad and do little to reinvent the same boring formula. I mean, games like SOCOM do try to spice it up with squad based gameplay or Battlefield’s destructible environments, but at their core it’s all the same. Gets old wicked fast. Just the consequences of the military shooter fad honestly, oversaturation of the market.
(And some suffer from obnoxious control schemes too; Metroid Prime on GameCube and SOCOM have really weird control schemes that don’t feel comfortable at times
