Too Human and Lair comes to mind in recent memory. I'll leave this up for open debate though. What other games were extremely hyped and weren't nearly as good as the hype.

i agree on metal gear solid. I never understood what the big deal is. It's a great production and has great production values but meh. Same with Gears. I'm playig gears 2 right now and it's really cheesy. It's a good game for production value as well. But it's cheesy as hell.

some people really like those games though so i wouldnt say they are overhyped.

Oh, I just re-read the TC's OP: All of the games I listed weren't overhyped because they actually turned out to be really good. So I'm going to list Halo 2 as the most overhyped game of all time.

That was the fault of the gaming press mostly. There was very low community expectations after footage was revealed. Reminds me of the conduit now, i think it might just be nealty as good :P

Haze,Heavenly Sword,Lair...Heavenly Sword is alright though..but HAZE was a complete failure and disaster..And Lair was bad too...And the controls didn't even bother me.

Halo 3, whichunfortunately didn't surpass the hype.

Stringerboy

How didn't it? It's AAAE, and it has sold millions.
