Gears 2. Decent SP, but it had an utterly broken MP that nearly made my head explode

Definitely FarCry 2.Sold it to a friend a day after i bought it.And i don't know why theres all the hate for Gears 2.I enjoyed it alot(No im not a fan boy.),even the multiplayer(Once the patch was released).If you didn't like it simply because the bugs in multiplayer at first so you just gave up on it,give it another go and youll see it's much better.

Why would the graphics make the game any less fun? As for the sounds I thought they were good but I never paid a lot of attention to them. Also it's an RPG they tend to start out slow the Citadel part was eh but after that it really picked up.

I gave Gears 2 a try earlier this summer, after the 3rd patch, mind you. And that game was still glitchy as hell, sluggish gameplay, and largely inconsistent game mechanics. Drove me nuts! I moved to BF:BC and, while some maps are too large and kills take too many bullets, I've been satisfied.

Call of Duty 4 and Fallout 3, off the top of my head.

I just can't see how people think CoD4 is so great, I mean, I try to get into it but the multi-player is horribly unbalanced. No fun at all. Really was expecting more.

I made the fatal mistake of buying dead rising when it was only $20, that piece of s*** wasn't even worth spending $2 on. I smashed the game to pieces later on.

Oh and Guitar Hero World Tour sucked badly too, what a waste of money.

Gears 2 was not my cup of tea. I found the campaign to be extremely repetitive and the MP a bit too difficult (i always got pwned). Horde was fun though.

Turok. I really enjoyed the N64 game and thought the remake would be cool but it was just mediocre. Not terrible but not great however it only cost me $10 brand new and I actually got $12 in credit for it at FYE whe I traded it in so I can't complain.

Yeah it really picks up after that, I thought it was great. Mass Effect 2 looks like it will be really good

Alot of people seems to think that Dead Rising sucks. I am about to buy it in October to fill a gap in my collection, maybe I should rethink that. As for games, The Club was a big disappointment. Perhaps it was because my expectations of that game was too high.

It's been a long, long time since I've been really dissappointed by a game. I go to this website, called GameSpot. It's got reviews, previews, gameplay movies, and forums where you can check out a game before you buy it.

All I can think of is Far Cry 2. I like the game, but it's time-consuming and this was in the winter when I had a lot of free time.

Fallout 3. Can't abide that game at all. Gave it another go recently and it was still just as annoying.

Assassins creed got repeptitive pretty quickly as well but I still managed to stick it out till the end enough for them to have snared me in to wanting to play the next one.

I hope that make it clearer when you've finished this time though. Half an hour I was, looking round that room trying to work out where I was supposed to go next!!!

I would say Far Cry 2. Really impressive at first but after a while, it just gets a bit annoying. I remember watching all those videas on gametrailers.com about it and just sitting there amazed at the games features. Too bad it ended up being super annoying with spawn times and traveling.

Crackdown. Heard it was "the new GTA" (even then, I was doubtful, because GTA isn't even THAT good) and I played it for like 30 min., got mah 5 Gamerscore from it, and gave it to a friend. Found the gameplay way too repetitive.
