Some games have 'Hubs' and 'Overworlds', which is a main world in those games, and has entrances to levels. How did you feel about it?
I like Hubs- because I can explore there a lot.

These are awesome, especially if there are hidden secrets within the overworld that are not listed (Like a secret level)
Depends on the game. If it was something like Mario 64 then great. Crash 3: Warped? Eeeeeh.............
Also a note on overworlds: SKYRIM <3

As said before, it depends on the game. Sometimes in games it feels a bit annoying trying t get from point A to point B having to travel through a huge boring hub world when you just want to start the level but can't due to having a long overworld to travel through. But in case of Mario games I tend to find those hubs enjoyable.
Just played some Super Mario Galaxy for the competition we are having, and I have to say that I really miss the open hubs. Don't get me wrong, I loved Starship Mario and how streamlined getting to a level was, but I really do miss that exploration and finding a new or secret world around the corner. One of the reasons why I love the Banjo Kazooie series so much.

Exactly, the B-K series did an excellent job with their hubs. I use to spend a fair amount looking through everything and that kept me pretty busy for awhile. Those are the only ones that really stick out to me.
To keep the conversation going, has anyone played a game where they really enjoyed the hub? Or maybe you just played a game that was really lacking a hub?
I enjoyed Donkey Kong Country 2 Lost World in fact, I still have not completed all the levels because I did not collect enough coins to re-enter it.
The same goes with Donkey Kong Country 3 where it is more harder.

I enjoyed the ones in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine a lot. Delfino Plaza was very fun to explore and run around endlessly while riding Yoshi. i kind wished Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon had a hub to run around, or just have the Bunker be the hub, just a rather small one. its an awesome game regardless.
I LOVE a good hub! But modern gamers are iffy on them. 
The Banjo-Kazooie games have been mentioned, and for good reason; You know a hub is a good one when you enjoy just aimlessly exploring it.
Zelda Majora's Mask is also well loved because of how awesome Clock Town is, it practically is the game.
I also have fond memories of exploring the Edo countryside in Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon, it really added to the charm of that game.
Really, the N64 had a lot of great Hub worlds.

I love them! They are fun to explore and discover. You can also test out your new moves in them.
Not many games I play have hubs in them but one of the most well known ones I can name are the Comet Observatory and Starship Mario from the Galaxy series. I do love them I just don't see them much.
