Heard great things about the game, and when I actually played, it ended up being a frustrating, dull game. Not bad, just not as good as I thought it'd be.
Alien vs Predator, one of my favorite franchises and I've been waiting years for another game, and this one was a real letdown, it could have been so much better if in the right hands, honestly I think people gave Rebellion too much credit even before it's release and would have been much more comfortable giving the project to Monolith. anyhow, hoping Aliens: Colonial Marines is good, if it ever comes out, though I'm worried that Gearbox's involvement with Duke Nukem Forever will delay A:CM even further
New Super Mario Bros. Wii. It wasn't that bad, but it was basically an unnecessary that isn't nearly as fun as either the old Mario 2D platformers or the newer, superior 3D platformers. Even my most trusted, normally very critical independent Nintendo magazine gave it a 9.5, so I believed the hype, bought the game for 50 euros and got bored with it in an afternoon.
Assassin's Creed. Maybe it's because I'm playing the sloppy PC port, but I bought this game not long ago for 5 euros and still wonder if it was worth it. I have only played about an hour though, so maybe I should give it a bit more time.
I might go with Empire Total War. It's one of the few games I've paid full retail price for this gen (mainly through luck, actually), but the gun-based combat simply didn't do anything for me. I dropped it after only one or two campaigns, and haven't felt any desire to play through it again. I'd also say Oblivion, but that was unintentionally fun, and Dragon Age, but I really wasn't hyped for that to begin with.
Personally I'd say Metal Gear Solid 4. The hype for it was ridiculous. It got perfect scores and was supposed to be penultimate MGS. When I eventually got round to buying it 1 1/2 years later it turned out to be one of my least favourite MGS games. If any more evidence was needed that Hideo Kojima requires someone to edit his dialogue then MGS4 is it.
Resistance Fall of Man - most times when I buy consoles there's at least one game that I can get that I can enjoy for quite a while until new games start demanding my attention, Resistance Fall of Man though made me not want to play my PS3, it was as an over-hyped, substandard FPS game, and there were no other PS3 games worth getting for months until Motorstorm was released, luckily the PS3 could play PS2 games so that kept me busy.
Though I didn't feel a huge sense of disappointment while playing it or anything. The overall experience just didn't compare favorably to the level of hype I had.
Halo 3. The campaign's storyline almost nonexistent, there was too much Flood, and it really just felt like more of the same. But it was the multiplayer that really disappointed. It just felt like a slight update on Halo 2's multiplayer with inferior maps and gimmicky equipment.

Oh yeah, this as well. Although I loved the multiplayer, the campaign wasn't much better than Halo 2's (which was a huge step down from CE).
1.Medal of honor... yes the last one, it made mw2 look like the most complete game ever....jeez, just how lazy gamedevelopers can get? 2.Oh and i played alan wake, its good for a while but later on its like they run out of ideas and tried to stretch the gameplay time with pointless chapters. Also it was suposed to be open world which counts as a big dissapointment in those 5 years of development. 3. Gta iv, simply because gta sa had bigge and better maps, more vehicles, better characters, story, missions, more weapons and more gameplay features. Gta iv seemed simplier and smaller.

Yes, and towards the end the game became boring . The last dungeon and endboss was a joke . However, even higher on the disappointment scale for me was Resident Evil 5 . I had such high hopes for this game, but it came nowhere as close as Resident Evil 4 .
FFXIV, i was really looking forward to it and I loved FFXI, but 4/10... no thanks...

The devs have timetabled alot of patchs set in stone, within the next 2 months every single complaint (bar the request for jumping) is being fixed, its a dissapointment now, but I reccomend keeping an eye on it!

Mass Effect. I only own a 360 and people were saying the game was really good. Turned out it was a mediocre game and the worst 360 exclusive (IMO).Mr_Cumberdale
Suprised no one has said this one but mine is Resident Evil 5. It took everything that was RE out of it. The gameplay dissapointing,co - op was the wrong way,inventory sucked,bosses were dissapointing and had a bad cover system and some monster were uninspired. It is not even close to RE4 which is one of the best games ever.

Everything after chapter 3. It felt like the developers run out of ideas and tried to increase gametime by grabbing things here and there and stretch them into gameplay rather being as good and well made and directed as the first 3 chapters. It felt like they run out of ideas or lost their touch along the way.

Well, real RE fans gave up with re4 which was definetly survival but not horror and it was filled with trials. Then re5 came to show up with dumbed down gameplay and coop gimmicks. The real re fans did not care anymore.
