Recommend me a mediocre game.

[Blue Shoe 2]

I'm looking for a game; I don't want it to be great, but I don't want it to be bad, either. Something... in the middle. Genre don't matter.

Pirate Ship Higemaru - Arcade/Coin-Op (http://www.retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/5533/)

[ARedLetterDay]

Jim Powers in 3D.
AMAZING music, but it's frustratingly hard. One hit kills you, you only have 3 lives and three continues.
But it's worth it for the fun gameplay and music. I recommend the SNES version, I'm not sure what console the other version is on.

Ristar - Sega Genesis (http://www.retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/3308/)

Ristar - Sega Genesis (http://www.retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/3308/)

Ristar is FAR from mediocre. The controls are smooth, the graphics are nice and colorful, it's not difficult or super easy, the music is amazing.

Goonies 2.

Call of duty

[Slime Slayer]

There are a ton, Ice Climbers, Urban Champion...Wrecking Crew... try one of those.

[Demon-Mask]

If we're counting non-RU games, Enter the Matrix comes to mind.
On RU? Ice Climber is my first thought.

[fungusman]

Holy cow, Enter the Matrix is THE mediocre game I never thought of that. It just flies so slightly under the pleasure radar. Prince of Persia remakes are like that too.

RU: Umihara Kawase - Super Nintendo (http://www.retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/7777/)
Last Gen: Mystic Heroes
Current Gen: APB: Reloaded (Action MMO, depends on player experience, actually. I absolutely love the game, but matches are imbalanced most of the time from a miserable system and the player community is kind of awful)

Call of duty

obvious flamebait is obvious.


why mediocre?

I like flawed games.

@everyone else: Thanks for the list, I now have a good log of upcoming games for myself. Feel free to keep adding.

[samejamesbond]

Michael Jackson's Moonwalker for the Genesis is pretty mediocre.

[Demon-Mask]

Holy cow, Enter the Matrix is THE mediocre game I never thought of that. It just flies so slightly under the pleasure radar. Prince of Persia remakes are like that too.

Yup. Enter the Matrix is the very definition of mediocrity in games.

The Medal of Honor series is pretty mediocre.
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days was mediocre.

[DrunkN]

Michael Jackson's Moonwalker for the Genesis is pretty mediocre.
You can't be serious. The controls and audio are as divine as it's charm.

Enter the Matrix is the very definition of mediocrity in games.
As a younger boy, I heard of this game when it came out by mouth of a close friend. He, too, said it was mediocre, which was a rather uncommon statement for an age when every thing was either "awesome" or "really bad".

[Demon-Mask]

General consensus is that Enter the Matrix is mediocre. It's certainly not bad, but it isn't exactly good either.

[fungusman]

The Medal of Honor series
Wow you're really good at this!

[Demon-Mask]

You seem to be implying that I'm trolling. I'm not.

[DrunkN]

For the record, the previous games I recommended are all games that I figured were mediocre, but represent what I feel is the cream of the mediocre crop. I assumed that this was what we were all doing.

[OmegaShadow]

These are just my personal oppinion, but...

The 7th Saga (Super Nintendo)
Final Fantasy 5 (Super Nintendo)
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Super Nintendo)
X Men Legends (Game Cube)
Megaman X Command Mission (Game Cube)
Mega Man X6 (Playstation)
Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door (Game Cube)
Super Paper Mario (Wii)
Shadow the Hedgehog (Game Cube)
Baten Kaitos (Game Cube)

[Razeluxe]

Modern day shooter. (CoD, MoH, BF, take your pick. They're all the same)
Magic Knight Rayearth - Super Nintendo. (http://www.retrouprising.com/game-menu/game/7723/) probably the most mediocre RPG I've ever played.

I really can't think of any that walk that fine line between good and bad.
