I'm nominating Jericho and Manhunt 2

Undying was great, but Jericho was simply awful, almost laughable and did not live up to my expectations

And I thought Manhunt 2 would've been more grim considering that they rated it AO, and when they re-released it as M...I suppose I was expecting too much from this game

So what games do you believe were the most disappointing of 2007?

Lair, Blue Dragon, and a personal of mine Motorstorm.... I could be so much bettter.... Just more variety in tracks, split screen and better load times could have made this game a hit!

Uncharted is not out yet. Give it a chance to flop at least.

Lair. How does something that gets hyped AAA get a 4.5. That's just sad. I feel bad even though I don't have a PS3.

Halo. no im just kidding. Lair hands down.Phoenix963

No actually Halo 3 for me. It did not live up to what I was expecting. The game wasn't "Finishing the Fight" it just ended openly. Also 70% of all the multiplayer maps are not fun at all. There are a few that are good like Vahalla, but it does not measure up anywhere near Blood Gultch, Wizard, Hang em High, Lockout, Midship...

That was my most disappointing game of the year.

Most enjoy it though, but yeh, up to preference.

For me.. Hellgate: London. Oh God I expected Diablo 3, I got ... an average online rpg.

Lair is probably the biggest flop this year though, gosh.. I don't know what happened.

Half-Life 2: Episode 2 in my own personal experience. I'm not kidding. It looked better in the videos: more dynamic and emergent gameplay was what came off to me. Instead I get a linear path with a final battle not as epic as I'd been led to believe. I still love it, but it seems it was limited with consoles in mind, and didn't deliver on all fronts.

I'm gonna go with Lair on this one. I don't consider R&C:F to be a flop since ONLY gamespot flopped it. Much like a few Wii games I can think of...

Why do you think R&C was disappointing? Was it because it is a great game and you expected it to be bad, or was it because GS gave it a 7.5?

1. Lair without a doubt. This game was getting hyped AAAAAAAAAAAAA by so many cows to be the Gears graphics killer.

2. Blue Dragon. While not being hyped as much, it was claimed to be the Final Fantasy killer.

You did finish the fight..

The ending basically left it open to another one starting, assuming you finished the game on Legendary. If you beat it normally, it has very good closure and ended the way the series started.

It was disappointing because I expected a game rated E to be child friendly, but in the end I couldn't even let my kids play it :cry:

For all of you saying Lair, how long was it hyped? Was it even a big deal a year before its release?

Hellgate: London is the true dissapointment. With a legion of Diablo 2 fans waiting over 2 YEARS for it to come out (I among them) each new screenshot and amazing CGI trailer hyped this game into oblivion.

And then it came out. And sucked. Hard.

So Lair may be a bigger flop by SW standards, but in terms of pure letdown, HGL is on top.

I have to agree with The Darkness it has terrible gameplay and I was expecting some kind of evolution from Starbreeze Studios. They need someone to help them design their gameplay. They have graphics down pretty good.

Have to agree wit hyou on Hellgate. Like many of the fans you said, I was one of them. Hearing the makers of Diable 2 where behind it got my hype to the stars, after playing the demo. I said WTF

Sounds like Lair is going to win the most disappointing award. I wasn't really that hyped for it, but I was hoping it would be the exclusive the PS3 needed... I do plan on getting a PS3 when it's more affordable, but only once it has enough exclusives to attract my interest. Unfortunately, Lair didn't prove to be one of them.

BioShock and Metroid Prime 3. I expected both of them to be two of the best games of the year.
