Games that don't deserve their art design

Well, I'm speaking more in terms of character modeling on that one, not stages or anything.

Oh, and GUNGRAVE.

Unlimited SaGa - Gorgeous art design for a poor RPG. Wacky Races for the DC comes to mind as well. Sure, it makes great use of cel shading, but it is a poor kart racer.

Skullmonkeys (not an awful game, but generic without its art)
Rise of the Robots

and in a twist:

Relentless: Twinsen's Odyssey and it's sequel, because it deserved much, much better.

They should remake FFVII just so cloud and aeris can fuck.

My #1 pick right away would be Red Ninja. The artwork makes me feel funny down there, and I love Kurenai's design, but I hear the game ended up not being good. Yet, because of that cover, every time I walk past it in a game store, I am drawn to it and want to buy it.

Agreed. But one game in the series REALLY belongs in this thread more than the others- Saga Frontier 2, where all the backgrounds were lush watercolor paintings. The game was fucking BEAUTIFUL, but so painful to play that you'd have a better experience shitting into a frying pan and shoving your face into it. It was really sad that so much amazing artwork ended up in an otherwise horrible game. Such wasted potential.

I think there was a Secret of Mana game on the PS1 that was pretty art-wise, yet complete crap as well.

Dammit, me too. I keep wondering one day if I'll ever just finally break and buy the fucking thing.

you must be out of your god damn mind if you think Enclave's art design went to waste(ESPECIALLY if you've played the pc version, which is 5000 times better than the xbox release). that game plays like silk on the pc.
