Games that didn't live up to the hype... name yours! :)

FF12... I was so disappointed how they turned combat into something out of an MMO fest where you babysit a robot and don't have to do anything hardly. :/

spiderman 3 was not as good as i expected as the 2nd one was alright. shadowrun was also too much on the multiplayer side.

am waiting to see if ninja gaiden II lives up to the series hype,have seen some reviews of it that say its terrible,and another gave it a biased review,dont know what to believe with this one.

as for already out games,probably GTAIV,it's not as good as the hype makes it out to be.

- Unreal 2: After Unreal 1, I was really looking forward to what I thought would be a similarly excellent game with updated graphics and features. And what do I get? Mostly uninteresting missions (with a few exceptions), uninteresting story, mediocre gameplay, and endless hordes of evil spacemen. The Skaarj only make a minor appearance, and you're fighting the same friggin' space mercs over and over again. At least there were a few interesting weapons.
- Medal of Honor Pacific Assault: It was kind of boring, the gameplay wasn't too good, and it felt like a poorly-written war movie. IMO, it didn't live up to the standard of some of the early MOH games.
- Medal of Honor Airborne: This was actually a decent game, but again, it didn't live up to previous games in that series. Also, there weren't enough missions.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The Wi-Fi is very laggy and you can't change the rules of the match when you play random people on Wi-Fi. The controls don't seem as good as Melee's either.

Daikatana.

I mean even if it was good, it still wouldn'tve lived up to its hype.

that game came out in like the early 90's or something, i know because i used to be a fan of the series (there's 3 of em, the 3rd came out in 95 or 96) surely you must be thinking of another game?

There's a new Ninja Gaiden series on the 360.

oooh i feel a fool lol

I didn't even know they remade the first one! Looks cool. They should do that with more games.

Like.. Strider perhaps, that was cool or alien soldier or weapon lord << I never understood how it lost out to mk3, it deserves a reincarnation.

STALKER =/

While it's still a pretty good game, I can't help but think of how cool it could've been if they hadn't cut out so much before release.

Fable >_< Everyone was talking about how open-ended it was, so I was expecting something like Fallout, but it's not like that at all. Nothing you do has any real consequences...people forget what you did after you leave town for a while, and getting a good or bad ending depends on the final choice you make. Also, I've heard it's way too easy...it looked so dumb I didn't even bother trying to play it...but man, I'll die if I ever hear that crap again "Try to increase your attack multiplier!" "Use your stick!" "You have a new quest waiting for you at the adventure guild!"

<<Yeah fable was a big let down.

Quake III
Mercedes-Benz: World Racing
Mario Kart 64
Super Mario Sunshine
Carmageddon TDR 2000

I never heard any hype for that game, I didn't even know it existed until a few years ago.

Bioshock

It's a good game but it's just another f*****g FPS game, its "RPG" elements are too minimal.

Oh, so it's not just another f***ing RPG after all?

Crysis and to a lesser extent Medieval 2: Total War,they weren't bad,but they weren't what i hoped.
