Their choices were actually well thought out which was surprising for Gametrailers.

Although I would add: LFD1, WoW:Burning Crusade, Star Wars Force Unleashed, Killzone 1, Haze, and anything made by Lionhead

10 - State of Emergency (for being hyped too much)
9 - Sonic the Hedgehog (some gratuitous Sonic bashing)
8 - Lair (hyped; unfinished mess)
7 - Doom 3 (all graphics, no substance)
6 - Perfect Dark Zero (mediocre game)
5 - Fable (Molyneux, nuff said)
4 - Devil May Cry 2 (poor sequel)
3 - Metal Gear Solid 2 (hype, plot, Raiden)
2 - Daikatana (hype, hype, hype)
1 - Star Wars: Galaxies (retcons, and destruction of game world)

Aside from MGS2, that list is very agreeable.

Fable wasn't a disappointment. I can see the rest disappointing, however. If BK: N&B, BD, BC, HS, or LM, would've made the list, I would've been mad. :P Liked all of those lots.

Switch Metal Gear Solid 2 with Killzone 1 and I agree 100% with the list, even though some games weren't bad on the list.

Back in 2003-2004 it was being hyped to be one of the best rpgs of all time, many fell for it (me as well).

That's a fine list, save for MGS2 (It got fantastic reviews, and it had physics and particle elements that we see in games today! :shock: ).

They could have done better than that. I hate to see MGS2 lined up with those rascals.:P

Great other options, like Killzone 1 and WoW:Burning Crusade have already been mentioned.
What about the Decade making Too Human? That's another good choice.

I loved Doom 3 when it was released...and I'll disagree with MGS2 as well. Besides that, I'm OK with that list.

Yea I dont agree with MGS2 or doom 3(only bad thing was the flashlight switching). With fable maybe a little I agree with it since I actually enjoyed it,but I found fable 2 a bigger disapointment.

I don't see how Star Wars: Galaxies could get #1, was a solid MMO. Although, I'm not aware of whether it had HUGE hype or not then that seems agreeable.

ScrewAttack top 10s are more for the laugh.

Anyway, i agree with most of the games except Doom 3 and of course MGS2, i mean, c'mon, sure, Doom 3 is dark, but it's also a very enjoyable game, with plenity of scares and stuff, i don't see it as a dissapoint in any way.

And i don't even want to mention how wrong is to have MGS2 on the list.

I'm surprised that B-K N&B wasn't there (Considering it got a 6.8ish rating, and it clearly disapointed GT when compared to B-K & B-T).

I'm shocked to see how people still whines about not being able to play as Snake in MGS2.

Ugh, when I thought those times were long gone, GT comes and whines about it again.

MGS2 is not my favorite MGS, but surely they could have found a better game to take its position. Or at the very least, better reasons for why it was a disappointment

Wow, I lost alot of respect for gametrailers. MGS2 is one of the greatest games ever made (alot of MGS fans even list it as their favorite of the popular franchise) and the fact that they would even consider putting it on a list like that, let alone follow through with it, is just rediculous. Hell, they might as well of put Zelda:OOT, Metroid Prime, Halo:CE, and Resident Evil 4 on the list as well, if that's their definition of dissapointment.

quake 4 is probley my biggest disappointment ever.

this game totally sucked i grew up playing quake 1/2/3/ when it was new also.

the multiplayer maps were just so much crappier than the previous games and the guns have no recoil like the previous quake games especially the rocket launcher.

u couldnt rocket jump as high as previous games.

TOTAL FREAKING LETDOWN

Interesting list but Daikatana sounds like more of a number 1 disappointment then a number 2.

i'm shocked that of all the reasons they could have picked for Metal Gear solid 2 they focused on that.

Metal Gear solid 2 was terrible, the plot was terrible, the actor playing Raiden was sub-par, the dialog was long, drawn out and pointless. It was the metal gear game that put me off metal gear games for good

P.S. I think there's something wrong with me, because I enjoyed Perfect Dark Zero's online more then I did Halo 3's

Not a bad list, apart from MGS2 being there. The game is the second highest reviewed PS2 game of all time on Metacritic, for Christ's sake. :shock:

Overall I think the list is rather well put together compared to what most top 10s look like. I think that there could be a couple of Square-Enix games on that list as well as add Killzone and Red Alert 3

MGS2 was boring and predictable. After MGS1 (amazing game) I expected alot from MGS2. i was disappointed. MGS3 on the other hand (Best MGS game ive played). Now i just need to play MGS4.

Edit: and another thing. ridiculous is spelt with an i. Everyone on this site spells it with an e, is it an american thing or what? Is damn annoying.
