What Xbox games where the most disappointing to you? For me the most disappointing games where: Deus Ex invisible war, Advent Rising, and Halo 2. Deus Ex invisible war, there’s nothing wrong with it but the endings are absolutely horrible (unless you picked the one ending in the original then you’d probably think one of the ending was ok in DX invisible war)

..............................

Advent Rising, I was really excited about AR it had truckloads of potential a cool story, cool weapons etc etc. But it had hideous glitches, horrendous frame rates ( I think I saw it get as low as 12 FPS), the first person mode shouldn’t have made it out of alpha testing, the flick targeting stank. I think bar none AR is the biggest gaming disappointment to date (for me anyway)

.........................

Halo 2, I didn’t like playing as the arbiter and its ending (or lack thereof) was a big disappointment that left me feeling like I still should be playing for like another 2-4 hours.

I would probably say FABLE.

It was a cool game but it didn't live up to expectations.

Brute Force was the most overhyped game ever, EA killed the Medal of Honor series, and Call of Duty on Xbox was pretty bad but atleast they didnt do like EA and ruin it they made a great one on 360.

Agreed. It seemed much cooler when it was still called "Project Ego".

I actually had a blast with Doom 3, it got the sense of making you feel like your in a horror movie down to perfection by delivering amazing graphics, atmosphere, and freaky monsters, it was a good escape from all the run and gun.

True Crime Streets of LA, it was supposed to be the GTA killer, but it certainly wasnt. It was alright though.

Advent Rising- A glitch that resets your game, thats all you need to know. And the targeting system and the gameplay in general sucked.

Brute Force- was still a good game, but didnt measure up to expectations.

Deus Ex is one of the best games on Xbox, dont call it a dissapointment.

Advent Rising, Brute Force, Fable

zeroking420_666

I did enjoy Fable, but I still felt kinda guilty playing it cause I wanted so much more but still enjoyed what was actually in the game.

Far Cry. I've never played it on PC, so I don't know if it's better there, but I was just severely unimpressed with it on Xbox.

MGS:2 Substance. Bought it just to see what all the hype was about. Disappointed with how boring it was.

Did you really try to play it?  or did you put it down after an hour (or less)

Halo 2 and Fable were by far the two most dissapointing Xbox games.

Pretty sure I played it for more than an hour. Admittedly I never beat it. Got past the part with the 3 giant metal gears then stopped. I do hope to finish it...someday.

Did you play the Tanker chapter or the Big Shell chapter?  I haven't played it in a while but I don't remember any part near the begining with 3 metal gears.

Batman Begins (great movie BAADD game). When I first read the previews it sounded like they were finally making a great Batman game. The idea of using fear to intimidate the bad guys could have been great. Instead it was absolutely linear, the fear thing was a stupid gimmick and the game totally sucked.

Why someone doesn't use the Splinter Cell engine, add a better combat element to it and make a great Batman game I'll never get. Use some elements of the Spider-Man 2 game like the random street crimes and you'd have an excellent title.

Runner-up Superman for the xbox. Again it looked like it was going to be great, being able to fly around metropolis and use all of Superman's powers even x-ray vision and super-hearing but an atrocious control scheme made it nearly impossible to get past the first mission. A good Superman game should be a no-brainer but I've yet to see one.

Jade Empire... Bioware just keep recycling their RPG forumla. The graphics change a little each time, but never look too nice. The levels are small and the quests are superficial. You played one, you played them all.

My biggest disappointment was Topspin, because It got such high praises from everyone I was expecting flawlessness but what I got was a very solid gameplay experience, but the career mode very lacking, being a tennis fan I was at the very least expecting that they had the 4 grand slam tournaments licensed and would have like a calender type thing, the career mode was really my only disappointment and the shallow real pro's roster, the gameplay was great but the rest of the game made me feel a little cheated

Burnout Revenge. there i said it. BOR had awful track design that put WAY too much emphasis on shortcuts that were obvious and too easy to take advantage of, the crash mode's "overhaul" was total downgrade that put more emphasis on traffic checking than crashing, and speaking of trafick checking: way to make the game way too damn easy guys! trafick checking was one of those ideas that sounded great on paper, but blew chunks in game. if you need boost, hit the car in front of you. BOR was easily the most disapointing game i have ever played on the XBox.

yeah, that's pretty close to the end of the game, but did you pay attention to the story, as in, not skip ANY cutscenes or codec convos?

Sudeki was ok for me until then ending, thats what ruins a game for me. Ending seemed abit rushed and left many questions unanswered, but game play was ok for me.

All 3d Castlevania's are miserably bad. They're trying to make an action-game, with rpg-elements, while using a 3d-engine that only allowed for mediocre games back at the playstation 1's release.

I catually liked Brute Force, had it a little while after it came out and enjoyed it, good challenge and fun multiplayer. Most dissapointing games; Pariah and Goldeneye were very dissapointing (glad i dint buy em, just played at a friends house) and dave mirra bmx was poor aswell.

You really got to play MGS 1 if you really want to get into MGS 2. Also has anyone played the most recent one on the PS2 the jungle one, snake eater (haha) or something like that MGS 3, any good? Dont have a PS2 but always wanted to play that game.
