Biggest Letdown of 2008?

What game were you just amped for then it let you down heavily?

Mine has to be either the force unleashed or Soul Cal IV. I'm starting to get into SC4 again but the multiplayer is bad and the AI either too easy or near impossible.

I guess Too Human, the game didn't let me down personally...I just thought it was going to get more love from Critics.

Then of course I have to put in Gears 2. Single player and Horde were amazing, if only the MP could mirror that same quality.

Ninja Gaiden 2

for whatever reason i just couldnt get into it, and i absolutely loved the first one

Sonic Unleashed. WTF Sonic team?

The one that I was so, so , SO excited about was BiA Hells Highway.

So many video's and interviews, looked like a gritty hard core war game with all the terror and panic and blood and tactics....WOW !

...only gritty part is the slo mo close ups...other than that no blood. Tactics are, I dunno, not the same as previous games. I found this game linear and had really cheap A.I. that were like supermen.

I expected a much more open (fully circle an enemy) not just pathways so you get stuck and watch your guys get mowed down when you try to get them safe.

Sorry, went on a bit too much.

Hated it.

CoD WaW, swooped in and saved the day !

Cheers.

Too Human

with 10 years in development, i think it could have been alot better

i loved ninja gaiden 2 and soulcalibur 4 lol

too human is a good candidate, but!, i think KuF, Circle of doom was the biggest letdown, dunno u guys, but i expected LOTS more

Too Human

Far Cry 2 - it was still a good game, just not as good as I was expecting.

Easily Gears of war 2.coreymx2006

GTA 4 was a big disappointment, mostly becuz of gamespot, they gave it a 10/10 and i trusted gamespot of till then, now i relize there reviews dont mean squat.

fable2 was a let down becuz i thought that was gonna be the next be RPG, it was more or less just a ok hack and slash game with a little bit of magic. not enough rpg elements

GTA4 Biggest gaming letdown of all time IMHO

So much promised, so little delivered. GTA3 was a revolution GTA4 wasn't even evolution just a very very poor update

definitely Soul Calibur IV.

i owned SCII on xbox and I must've put in at least a good 50 hours into that game beating the weapon master and challenges.

SCIV doesnt have nearly as much replay value as the others.

still like it and play it and all but not as much as I thought i'd be.

Gears of War 2 Matchmaking....THE BIGGEST LETDOWN OF 2008. I honestly preffered how you could find games in Gears of War 1. It was faster, and you had options on what type of game you wanted to play.

Look if the matchmaking was as fast as COD4/COD WaW and you got a chance to join the middle of a game, stay with people who still want to play a certain play list after a game, I would be having a blast playing multiplayer. Matchmaking does a severe blow to the multiplayer in a game, because it's not like I have 100 people on my friends list that play GoW2.

Too Human coulda been great but it just didnt have any pizaz. It didnt stand out at all, it was just the same old unenjoyable crap over and over again
