i hate spore and fallout 3!! !

motorstorm for ps3 loading times will kill you, it takes a decade just to load the cars and trucks and that's not even on the race track, just loading one race takes so long that i gave up on the whole game.

most zelda games cause i simply cannot play them.

sonic unleashed for ps3: way to hard for me.

and i am ashamed to say lego starwars 2 for the ds, it locks up and crashes so much and i get lost in the stages far to much. meanwhile i love most lego starwars games but this one was ugh.

Lego Star Wars two on ds was glitchy and all reviewers gave it bad scores. What I did like about it was the level designs. Alot of them were more interesting than the console version. Too bad the second one they made on ds, complete saga, didnt feature the same level designs.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

The sequel to one of the most fun fighting games ever made, they just had to F it up. Slowed the game down, introduced the "tripping" mechanic, added "Final Smashes", and made certain characters broken beyond all belief.

Not to say that I don't play and enjoy the game, but taking a very unique and fun fighting game and turning it into something where "everyone can win". Was a very bad idea.

Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness (PS2)

As a Tomb Raider Fan, i was scared when this game came out. controls were god awful and the story was sub par.

It was so bad that i have the riot act on one of the developers on that game that i met at a trade show on how bad it was. best venting i ever had!

Final Fantasy X, I expected it to have more action.

Grand Theft Auto IV. Huge disappointment.

Agreed. They completely killed the Sonic franchise in my opinion with this game. Sonic was struggling before this, but this had to be the final nail in the coffin...a last ditch ploy by Sega to try and make Sonic somehow seem "cool" in a rapidly changing gaming world, when the best thing they could have done to him was leave him alone.

Also, Turok for the Xbox 360 was a big letdown for me. I didn't enjoy the multiplayer. It was too glitchy for me. The single player mode was way too linear. You had no flexibility at all with the gameplay.

I thought so too...however, I really liked The Complete Saga, I thought the level design was a lot better...the first DS one, there were too many spots where the camera would go behind walls or whatever, just gave it a really cramped feeling.

Devil May Cry 2.
Although I did find it too easy, which is why many criticize the game, why I didn't like it was it just didn't feel like a Devil May Cry game. Also, the fighting was more tedious than challenging.

Star Fox Command I would stay. The enemies were so bland and just repeated. All you did was draw lines to certain enemies, which was mega tough. Plus, loads of strategy plotting your way through. There was no substance to the fighting at all.

Final Fantasy 12 was my biggest disappointment. I did force myself to finish it because I thought it might get better but sadly no. I liked the length of the game but the story, gambit system and something about the graphics killed it for me.

the next ones are Devil May Cry 4, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, Infamous, and Mirrors Edge ONLY (for the PS3) because I found those games really short despite the amount of space available on a blu-ray disc. The games themselves i found highly enjoyable

twilight princess and phantom hourglass are the main ones, just cause im a freaking huge zelda fan and these titles felt terrible to me i dont get all the praise i hated these game (but their is the fact that i overhyped tp to be the best game in the world....)

also i didnt like oblivion... at all i mean everyone tells me its SO amazing but i really hated it

also... mass effect... i mean i LOVE bioware but for some reason i just never got into it

As hard as I tried, I just couldn't get into Twilight Princess. It took what's standard for a Zelda game and spread it out way too wide. I mean, you're 10 hours in before the game starts getting REALLY good. Not to mention the boss battles were so easy they were insulting. And bringing in Ganon halfway was a lame plot twist. Either have him right at the beginning or don't have him at all. I still haven't finished it because the game felt like work, not fun (hell Wind Waker was more fun, and I never thought I'd say that).

I was also really disappointed by Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. I LOVED Sands of Time and couldn't wait to play the sequel, but it just took everything I liked and made it annoying. The angsty take on the Prince was cliched (making the dialogue wretched), the levels were repetitive and the constant back-tracking confused me (a clear sign they rushed development), and the constant metal soundtrack had me muting the TV.

MGS4 was also a disappointment. I liked MGS2 despite it's light gameplay and overlong non-sensical story, but easily felt it could've been improved. MGS3 was a huge improvement, adding more depth to the gameplay and more reasonable cutscene length (not to mention the story wasn't as bonkers). I get the feeling Kojima just lost all restraint on MGS4, because the cutscene length was insane and just not very well written or executed. Aside from the fact the story was nuts I got hung up on small details that just took me out of it like: "Why is Naomi's shirt always unbuttoned? Why is she never wearing a bra? Why do they keep going for shots of Beauty & the Beast camel toe?". Stuff like that felt really immature and undermined the serious tone I think Kojima was going for.

Not to mention the controls were just irritating, even when I customized them the way I like. It's the same reason I didn't like RE5, and this is gonna sound weird, but game developers are giving us TOO MANY options concerning controls. I'd gotten really used to RE4's method, so to completely uproot that (even when I went back to classic mode) just threw off my game. Also, do you know ANYONE who uses a Wiimote when playing Smash Bros Brawl? Give me a break Nintendo. Smash Bros Brawl has no unique Wii functionality. Just let us play with the Wavebird and shut up.

But going back to MGS4, my best friend Jeff is one of the best gamers I know, and he beat MGS4 on the hardest setting in 6 hours. Supposedly the game has EIGHT HOURS worth of cutscenes, all of them portraying stuff that could've been told in half the time or we just don't care about (I don't care if that little girl learns how to cook eggs right!). Big disappointment.

Death to anyone who says Mirror's Edge. I love that game so much.

GRAW was a huge dissapointment to me, so was Hospital Tycoon for PC.

LOTR: Return of the king... it's ok, but I feel this game had exceptional potential. Where this failed, Spartan: Total Warrior succeeded, and there's no reason why this game couldn't have been as good, but it wasn't.

Star Wars Jedi Knight II, Jedi Outcast: Average and dull, with no soul.

Any modern Fifa game - often freezes when taking penalties and such, and you can tell that EA rushes these games.

If I can think of any more, I'll post them.
