Every now and then a game comes out that to the untrained eye, frankly just looks like it's going to be terrible. No matter who was behind the development, big name or no name, sometimes people will skip over something or doubt it's quality before the reviews start pouring in. Sometimes even the reviews don't go over so well, either.
Games like Killer 7 and Cubivore for Gamecube and Urban Yeti for Gameboy Advance come to mind. These are games that if people got into them, they have so many positive things to say about them. But those who have never played them, or "just couldn't get into them" seem to bash the games as if it did harm to them in some way. Well... maybe not so much for Urban Yeti, but it's still really fun.
Anyone else have games they think fall into this category? Games that are just amazing, but don't look like they'd be?
Below is a video a friend recently shared with me that put this idea in my head. It's a great example of quality over quality.

N+ is BENT on getting anyone of age to get their hands on No More Heroes, which comes out in north america this Tuesday - the 22nd! Because we KNOW that Grasshopper Manufacture and Suda 51 deliver a gaming experience you have never felt before. Also, this will be one of the very few games on Wii that actually has a true story to play through! As a mature gamer who wants to see more mature games on Nintendo systems, I really want this game to sell well and bring a message to developers: "Wii want a dark side in Nintendo too" Plus, the game just looks amazing to play! So if you missed an update or two, or would simply like one page to throw you a ton of NMH, "Read More"...
