to be fair, it's easy to look to games with large casual fanbases as being overrated as large numbers and a ton of praise will make you go 'why did this get so much love and praise.' but... hm. if you want overrated smaller games (which KOTOR does end up fitting under more than not!) then i'll give you probably the king of these - Xenogears. there's a lot right with the game. it is not even close to the best rpg on the ps1.
