One could argue that Sony's inability to develop a console in which is developer friendly is the reason a lot of Playstation 3 games fall short.

I definitely thought Lair should've been number 1, that game flopped harder than anything in recent memory.

Shadows of the Empire was great, at least the first half of it IMO. The second half just got dull and pointless. I loved to play the first half levels, Hoth was great, the asteriod shooting was fun, and the speeder bike was fun. I don't know it should be included here in this list IMO.

yes it was, but It wasn't as disapointing as Liar was imo. Liar is just Sad. Killzone is decent

i agree here. killzone was passable, it was ok but not great as everyone hoped. lair was supposed to be amazing and it sucks big time. it is a flat out, plain and simple bad game. you could not play the game that is just bad.

can't say for killzone, but maybe red steel or somthing would have been more deserving, but did anyone notice how none of those were Wii games???

Got a good lol out of this:

Perfect Dark Zero

OK, so we scored the game quite highly back in late 2005, but that doesn't mean Perfect Dark Zero wasn't a huge disappointment. As the follow-up to one of the greatest console first-person shooters of all time, great things were expected from Rare, in terms of both gameplay and technical prowess. As a launch title the game didn't look too bad, if a little too shiny, but the gameplay proved to be a short of what was expected. The main culprit was the twitchy controls, which could only be made semi-decent after a prolonged session in the options menu. By no means terrible, but not the sequel to Perfect Dark everyone wanted.

Why not just admit that either a) you fudged the bucket on the PDZ review or b) you're too worried about angry fanboy emails not to include PDZ?

Well this is just 1 mans opinion right?

For a game to be disappointing means it would have high expectations and turn out to not be that great.

I can't agree with anything on that list because I didn't have high expectations for any of those games.

My #1 disappointment for a console game would be MP3.

I agree. Take Shadows of the Empire off of the list and put Mario Sunshine in its place.

Sadly I can't go to that site here at work but wondering if Warhawk was on the list. I remember reading some bad reviews for it. I don't believe it tripped and burned like Lair did but still was a disappointment. Also, is that dragon game that was supposed to show off the six-axis on there? I remember the dev and sony have a huge fit about that game when reviews showed how horrible it was.

I think Devil May Cry 2 should be on that list. WTF happened there.

DMC 1 was AAA. DMC 3 and 4 were very good games. What the heck happened with 2?

Warhawk is not on the list, however that dragon six axis game is Lair and it is number 2 on the list.

Why did Star Fox make the list? That was an actual good game. Killzone should've also ranked lower, somewhere like 5 or 6. It was average.

I like Brute Force as well. Problem is, it was supposed to be a franchise equal to Halo - Brute Force is nowhere near Halo.

What I find so funny is that as bad a Brute Force flopped (it got an 8 in here, but was hyped 9.5), Killzone flopped a lot harder and didn't sell as many copies, but Sony seems determined to make KillZone a franchise.

Killzone did good in sales if im not mistaken.

How bad was Brute Force in sales?

I dont see why killzone 1 got such a bad review. I played the gae at a frieds house not that long ago, and despite a few bugs, it was ok. I only played a few levels but the action was good and it was quite varied with taking out tanks and stuff. Plus the reloading animation was cool to watch, the weapons were interesting and it was fun to play. Its made me even MORE hyped for KZ2!!!!

Haze and lair did not have much to do wuth sony. Haze suprised me though as it came from the guys who made TS3, an AAA title. and lair could have been great, its a technical masterpiece, bt they got the controls and gameplay wrong.

This list is bull. The original Xbox had waaay worse/more dissapointing games than ANYTHING on that list. Fable is a good game, but was nothing near Peter Molyneux's dream. A dissapointment. Drake of the 99 Dragons. KABUKI FUQING WARRIORS.

YES!!!!!!! finally another person that thought Star Fox Adventures rocked.

It was a fun game. Gameplay was fun, the story was fun, the boss fights were fun, it wasn't repetitive.

I loved it, Starfox Assault should be the most dissappointing starfox

What a terribly biased list. Haze wasn't even hyped enough to be that much of a disappointment. Fable should be up on that list if anything...
