I was sad about Red Steel.  It isn't the broken mess that GS makes it out to be, but it's no more than a 7.0 really.

At least the MP is like an updated, motion sensor goldeneye.

Sonic on the 360 was definitely a HUGE disappointment. And Halo 2's multiplayer was as well, IMO.

I'ma huge Sinoc fan and was very dissappointed. If the one on the Wii is really good than I will go hunt down a Wii at a lucky store and buy the sonic game for it. Don't get off topic now.

I mean, I don't know if it was hyped here very much, but it was talked about all of the time while in other games, Battlefield 2, CS:S, HL2:Source...It's a fun game, Titan mode is awesome, but it feels kind of bare sometimes. Needs more content.

all GTA games in my opinion...probably Bully too...juz doesn't suit me...I think gamespot(or any other gamers) should be moderate in judging a game,cos not all gamers have the same interest..most of the games are judged by one person,and i think they should have at least 5 different types of opinion before finally rate a game...what do you guys think??

BF2 was even worse. All you had was conquest mode... and the bugs... oh... the bugs... *sigh* some of which, I believe, still are not fixed... almost 2 years later.

Sure... the game was fun when you played with a team and squads and had all the unlocks... but finding a good, low latency, almost full, ranked server, was more a pain than it was enjoyable.

I think I uninstalled and reinstalled that game no less that 30 times. That was the last straw I had with EA and they destroyed every chance they had of pulling me back in.

I am so thankful Forgotten Hope 2 is coming out soon...

Seriously? I thought BF2 was awesome. BF2142 was just horrid in comparison.

How about BF Vietnam? That game was hyped but all it had going for it was the 70s soundtrack.

Halo 2's multiplayer was a joke compared to the first Halo in the fun department. I feel that the majority of Halo 2's maps were just too enclosed and preferred the wide open arcadey vibe Halo 1 had going for it. There's not a single map in Halo 2 that can beat Death Island, the Old Blood Gulch and Timberland.

I think halo 2 was over hyped, was the same thing as halo 1, just with diff weapons and continued(short) story.

I love Gears, I never said anything about it. But Halo 2's multiplayer was a huge leap backwards. Compared to Halo 1, it had inferior weapons, winning doesn't really nearly as much on precision, and the level design was horrendous...

I've been playing first person shooters for almost 20 years, and I had more fun playing Halo 1 than any other game in the world. In fact, I'll probably never get tired of playing it. I still enjoy it just as much. But everyone has their own opinion, my is just A LOT different than yours...

Red Steel, I really thought the game was loaded with promise.

Also Tekken 4 (Shame on you Namco)
