I'd have to say FEAR for the Xbox 360. That was a huge disappointment. Oh, and I loved Alladin on the Genesis even though I didn't own the system.Benevolentbob

:lol: All this love for Aladdin, maybe I need to get a hold of a sega genesis and try it again. It has probably been at least 12 years since I last played it.

[QUOTE="jangojay"]Halo 3Shattered007

Thats the worst game you ever bought?! You must not buy many games...

Meh I normally track the games I want and read up alot about them before I buy em so I'm never disappointed, went blindly into H3 and I stopped playing it after I beat the single player.. over 3 days. Needless to say I didn't think it was worth 500dollars... err that's $85us

Assuming that you haven't tried the Multiplayer

Only locally, live isn't available down here without using false info and I didn't want to go through the hassle.

Make sense...if I had to rate Halo3 just on it's single player, I would have to give it 7...

But why would you buy Halo 3 if you couldn't play online? No wonder you were disappointed...

I'm going to say Zack & Wiki, I just couldn't enjoy that game. Luckily EB games has a 7 day trial period so I was able to recoup my money. I think I'll buy Okami for Wii now instead.

Burnout paradise, I hate it.

They took all the good bits out of it, now it is not a racer, since I spend half the time checking that i have not made a wrong turn...

Warioware: Smooth Moves :lol:

I usually do research and pick games carefully, I'm rarely disappointed, but man, I was way of the mark with that game.

Lair, Phantasy Star Universe, SotC, ICOfakecliche

SotC and ICO, are you kidding me? Those two could be listed as some of the most underrated games of all time.

That would be Uncharted for PS3, i bought it thinking it is an adventure game, and turned out to be a 100% shooter game, and a very bad at that

most worthless buy i have ever made

all time probably cant think of many games worse than buying Batman Vengeance for the gamecube.

Now this gen the worst game i bought has to be either crackdown, sonic and the secret rings, or no more heroes. And considering i felt all 3 were actually good games just nothing special, id say i have done a very good job of avoiding crap this gen.

For this gen, I regret buying The Darkness. The game is great and all but its SP is a one time experience and the MP is broken (well at least on the Xbox 360). Theres a few games in the past I bought that I regret but the names don't seem to be coming to me :(

[QUOTE="MonacoX"]

[QUOTE="Gh0st_Of_0nyx"]MGS- What a wast of time and money that game was. Its the 1st game that honsetly put me to sleep with there terrible dialogue and convoluted story.Chutebox

Wow, I never thought I would hear someone say that. The original MGS on psx totally blew me away. The purchase that I regretted the most would have to be Aladdin for the Genesis.

Dude, I'm not being sarcastic at all when I say this. That game freaking ruled.

Dear god, I was going to post that. Both the SNES and Gen version were awesome.

My game, Metroid Prime... I'm not going to say anything negative about the game, just couldn't get into it.

Oblivion. horrible art direction and the most depressing game i ever played. there is not an bit of fun that entire boring game.

I have NO idea why people would want to spend + 100 hours in that godforsaken game.

I will just do recent years because I have been gaming since the end of the 80's so I can't even remember all the crap game I have played and I have played a lot.

For the X360 its FEAR (good PC game, im sure, but crap console game IMO)

Time Splitter 2 (GCN) and Future Perfect (XBox) (Oh MY GOD the single player is bad in those).

I despute this whole "from the makers of Goldeneye" thing, the MP might be good but Free Radical are crap at single player modes. How exactly is HAZE being hyped? I bet it's just because its exclusive.

The biggest mistake I think was with the difficulty, Normal is soo easy it makes the game look short, Heroic is the ideal standard difficulty and I absolutely loved the SP experiece, but I played it on Heroic first. I played it on Normal after and beat most in two days than left it, its boring too easy. Co Op Single player is great as well.

Yeah I hate how they casualized Normal. Its dull and its an insult to gamers everywhere. Even 90% casuals should be able to breeze through it effortlessly. Normal should have been called easy, and Bungie should have made something a little less difficult than Heroic for normal.
