I would have to say Mercenaries 2. The fact that the games graphic were pretty terrible for a game that was made for next gen. The game suffered technical glitches and it also had no freedom over what you did in the game.

Max Payne 2 wow the story not so bad and of course improved graphics. But just the ending wasn't great and the gameplay wasn't really modified nothing new was added to the game. There shouldn't have been a sequel in my opinion.

Gears of War 2 no boss battle at the end. What!

I can go on and on. ButTell me your most dissapointing game?

RE5

almost no new guns were introduced

Sheva's A.I. is HORRIBLE and the game is a LOT less fun if you're playing it by yourself because of her. Ashley was smarter in RE4, which is SO PATHETIC.

The environments after the main urban area, past 2-2, were just bland, I felt like I was in a cave the rest of the game from that point on.

The boss battles, you're either on a turret or you need the help of a CAPABLE teammate so Sheva is basically no help, especially whe you fight Irving. All she did was waste the ammo she had and than just sat there. The 2nd Wesker battle is also a LOT harder because of her. The first time i did that boss battle by myself it took me an hour because Sheva would either not grab him, or not inject him. with a friend it will take 7 minutes at MAX.

The villagers weren't as creepy, I liked all the chanting the monks did in RE4, really gave them some character.

The Merchant is gone, what the hell?

The treasure system was simplified. I liked how RE4 had the combinable treasures. They definitely rewarded players who chose to play through the game multiple times.

If you sell your guns in RE5 you get the smallest fraction of your $ back.

Chris Redfield isn't as cool as Leon S.Kennedy.

The in-game QTE's later in the game, later part of chapter 3 and above, are utterly broken.

Finally, the game was just too damn short, first run took me 12 hours. Not bad, but once you start playing through again you'll clock in @ under 6 hours guaranteed. Being able to carry over your guns to any difficulty also hampered the replay value. It makes the higer difficulties a cakewalk. Professional is easy if you're playing with a human player.

the most disappointing game i ever played would have to be Halo 3, i expected Bungie to push the envelope but it's just an average game IMO.

Probably Street Fighter 4. I had played Street Fighter 2 on a friend's old Genesis before and never really thought much of it, so I don't know why I expected the newer one to be much better, but I did. The graphics look like something off the Dreamcast, the voice actors are annoying(especially when you're against Ryu...HADOOOOOOOOOOKEN! every five god-damned seconds! GAH. Same goes for that Mexican wrestler. "SUPERRRR MEGAAA GEEEGABOOOSTOOOOOOOOOR!"...*twitch*), the music isn't exactly something I'd expect from anything made this gen(or for that matter, last gen...) and the game's way too hard IMO(Gamespot says it's easy to pick up...?! Well why can't someone who can play Soul Calibur 4 and Tekken 5 on Hard beat Seth on Beginner?!)...

Because GTA IV was built up so much, i was really dissapointed when i didn't find it that entertaining. Didn't do too much for me so wasn't too happy.

On X360 got 2 whoppers that I felt like breaking the disc they were that dissapointing. Soul Calibur 4...the game was pointless...it had nothing...except character custom...and online play that was it! the worst possible way to end a good series, honestly it was so bad they might as well have just made it an MMO. And honestly how good would a fighting MMO be? crap! GTA4...there is no excuse for a GTA game being completed in 2 days...there really isn't...and apart from that there was nothing to do but the main story and internet...waste of time and money.

Totally agree. Also, Assassins Creed for the same reason. The game started off great but gradually became so repetitive that I couldn't wait to finish and sell it. Still, I'll be giving part II a shot :?

Gears of War 2 because of glitches, lag and constant mindless rushing. Campaign was great though. However i may change my mind because a new update will come out soon and that may fix it.

GHWT i was so angry at ea for releasing rockband 1 in australia so late, i put all my hopes in to ghwt, and the day i got it, i had never been so disapointed i guess it was my own fault for over hyping and getting so excited over a neversoft game. i reverted back to harmonix and absolutely love rockband.

i wont touch ghwt with a 10foot pole lol.

Lost Planet-saw the commercial and I was hooked. Played the game for a month, and I was totally sick of it. Brothers in Arms HH-bought the game brand new, hell I even pre-ordered the thing. Terrible. Trade-in-value is somewhere around 5 bucks at gamespot, so I'm stuck with it. oh well :/

Definitely the Burger King games. I expected so much from them, and I was totally let down. In fact they were the whole reason I bought an xbox 360! What a way to soil the Burger King License...

OH LAWDY Agreed! I didn't think it was going to be GOTY material or anything like that, just a decent jrpg. But DAMN, I hated it, only played about a half hour of it then I returned it. Craptastic game.

Star Wars The Force Unleashed. Very pleasing to the eye and fun to use force powers but imo could have been so much more then a run of the mill action game.

Fable 2, lotta potential ruined by overall easyness, not just in fighting but making money, becoming extreme good/evil pure/corrupt, making NPCs like you,having morphs applied to character.

Gears of War 2

I was expecting them to fix the multiplayer but it's still a laggy piece of sh!t.

The campaign is also very uninteresting and repetitive. It's sab because Gears 1 was one of my favorite games.

I'm going to actually pick a game that did not receive a high review score nor was it critically acclaimed by...well....anyone. I pick Golden Axe: Beast Rider. It was pretty terrible and I'm glad I didn't pay for it. There is no excuse for Sega to make such an awful game.

EVER? hmm, its probably a game I palyed long ago when i was a little squit, but I honestly have no idea what it is.

for the 360... The Simpsons game was really poor. Farcry 2 was really disapointing. It had nothing to do with the original. and was totally boring. It was like playing an RPG with a character that didnt develop.
