What were the most dissapointing games for 2007

In my opinion, the most dissapointing games for each of the platforms this yearwere:

PS3=Lair: Bad controls negated thegreat graphics

Wii=Manhunt 2:Murder simulator? Whatever... It was less violent than part 1, yet recived more contraversy because of the waggle.

360=PGR4. Not a terrible score, but certainly not what some had hoped for. ANd it's selling like ca-ca.

PC=Hellgate London. How could the Diablo crew release an unfinished game?

What are you're biggest dissapointments for each console?

Halo 3 and Bioshock. Halo 3's story was bland and the multiplayer is dissapointing compared to other games on the 360 like CoD 4. Bioshock promised too much and under-delivered. Weak shooting mechanics and gameplay, unbalanced plamids and one of the shallowest "moral decisions" ever included in a game. A great story and some of the best art design, but the gameplay left much to be desired.PBSnipes

My god someone shares my opinion on Bioshock ... can I have your babies?

Halo 3, Bioshock, Super Paper Mario, and Heavenly Sword.

Why?

I gave them all 8.0 so far. 8.0 IS great. But I want amazing. Halo 3 = weak graphics and been there done that. Essentially the same as Halo 2, nothing really new to the formula.

Bioshock = generic FPS with high production values with almost none of the "deep moral choices" so highly touted.

Super Paper Mario was possibly the easiest game I've played in a long time and lacked the charm that its two predecessors did, the graphics were almost literally a copy and paste from The Thousand Year Door and you could basically have played the game with a NES controller, not the Wiimote. Not to mention the plethora of fetch missions and the part of the game where you literally have to hold right on the control pad for 15 minutes where Mario runs in a hampster cage to earn money... yes, seriously. Watch Zeropunctuation's review of this game. He's spot on.

Heavenly Sword = WAY TOO SHORT and some aggrivating boss battles. Also very linear. Again, like Bioshock, some amazing graphics and production values, but no real longevity.

Those are my choices.

PGR4 is an excellent game. My experience while playing it is not diminished in the slight bit due to its score or sales figures ;) So I don't see how that's "disappointing"

Hellgate London for sure. I expected it to be so much more than it was, but all I've been hearing is that it gets old pretty quick.

I would also add that I thought The Darkness was going to be an awesome game, but I didn't really end up liking it.

360- Bioshock. It started off very good and the story remained strong throughout but due to the limited ammo in the game I just got used to using the wrench for 90% of the game which got pretty boring at the half way mark.

PS3- Resistance (I live in the UK where it didnt come out until March). I was expecting a very good single player followed by an okmultiplayer what I found nearly the exactopposite. The single player had its moments but there were a few annoyances such as the level design, health system,not being able to take full cover behind blocks and soon. The multiplayerwas alot more funthanI had expected but the lack of vehicles was also an annoyance.
Warhawk. This was the game that made me go outand buy a PS3 but sadly didnt meet my expectations.It does have potential butat the moment the game just feels rushed to me with the small handful of levels, guns and vehicles added to the poor on foot aiming and having thekiss your ass goodbye alarmgo off after5 seconds of flying a plane just didnt hit home for me.

kane and lynch for the 360

So far i'm not dissapointed with any release on the ps3

the wii i'll have to say mario olympics, such a boring game i wanted more

and crysis for the PC, all people care about is the graphic's when the graphics are gone it's not so much a nice game

well thought ea was going to turn the harry potter franchise around had hopes for order of the pheonix to be good well that game turned out to be garbage.

360 lost planet it was ok but was expecting a bit more

wii almost everything except for smg metroid

Harry Potter: OotP(Wii). I had thought that having Hogwarts as a sandbox area would be interesting and fun. It was good... for a couple hours, then it started to get boring. It wasn't a bad game, the graphics were still good, hardly any loading, great voice acting and sound, and using the Wiimote was interesting, but the fun wear off very quickly.Wanderer5

Agreed.

Please elaborate I still consider getting this game from time to time because I want SKD.

Wii - sonic

360 - AC

PS3 - um...it?

PC - the only major flop was HGL, but I saw that comming from a mile away.

I don't know for me it had to be Lair everyone was arguing about it in the forums night and day, night and day and it ended up being a total turd reviews wise so I never even gave it a rental. I'd break it down like this

PS3-Lair

360-Nothing Really I mean to be toally honest some games might have been dissappointing but it's had a solid second year

PC-Hellgate- This game was hyped to be the greatest game ever and it ended up being....decent tisk...tisk...tisk

Wii-Red Steel- I know it was a 2006 game but I had to just mention that this game was total trash...TOTAL TRASH

Multiplatform-Assassins Creed- It's still a good game but its not the GREAT game I was hoping for. I wish they had spent another 2 months fine tuning it instead of rushing it out for the holidays.

The biggest surprise this year had to be Drakes Fortune.......AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING

I was so high on Skate from the demo, but the single player of the game really disappointed me.strudel420

What is wrong with it exactly? Would you consider it worth buying at 30 bucks or is it too exasperating or something?

First things first: do you skate? If so, you should be ashamed of yourself for not owning this game. Just kidding. But if you do, that alone warrants a purchase. If not, then it's really hard to recommend it to you. Why? The game is broken, the gameplay is repetive, the multiplayer is executed poorly and the game just feels unfinished. Just the stuff we've come to expect from EA, ya know?

On the other hand the game is a welcome change and shows enormous potential.

Ya personally some moves were really difficult to pull off just to get sponsers and stuff. Frustrating definitely. Maybe unfair to be disappointed in a game because I'm not good enough to do what it asks me, but thats my reason. I didn't take it online, but maybe there'd be $30 worth of game there if you'd do that.

Skate uses the analog stick to perform flip tricks rather then buttons. Insane combos are gone, and replaced with more satisfying "realistic" combos. Like someone else said there is a lot of potential there with the new controls. Check out the demo, rent the game if you like the demo, and buy the game if you feel its worth it. I didn't buy it and I don't regret it, but you might like it enough to get it.
