Probably going to get a bunch of crap for this BUT my most disappointing game was GTA IV.

After playing Vice City and San Andreas religiously i was so pumped about the game and seeing it get perfect reviews only made me more excited...however when i got the game i was very unimpressed...polished graphics, a few more sex referances, and what felt like a lot less game made me pretty upset

Yeesh. "Alone in the Dark!" Wow, there's a case study of how abysmally bad controls can ruin a good game. Terrible. When you know exactly what to do to and how to do it -- say, kill a monster, or get from point A to point B -- but the controls make it nearly impossible, that's a bad game. It's like the entire challenge comes from mastering the controls, not anything the game throws at you. It actually got bad reviews for that very thing, so I should've known. But yeah, by far, that was the biggest gaming disappointment ever. I had been tracking that game a year before it came out. Yuck.

Bioshock.. it looked awesome, it was pretty good for the first 20 minutes or so, and then it just got too repetitive and it was almost like a JOB to finish that game.

Bionic Commando was severly overrated. What is it with capcom and their save points. They really destory any replayability of their games. Dead Rising is a prime example. Great game with moronic saving methods. Anyway bionic commando looked cool but I really hate it after playing it for a couple hours. Way to screw up yet another promising game capcom.

GTA 4 (mostly because of the size of the map and no planes and chutes) and bioshock had no replay value at all. Also Burnout Paradise because splitscreen was everything to me.

Mercs 2. Soon as the game started it went downhill and a million glitches. The accuracy of the guns is horrid, it's a job in itself to kill an enemy unless you shotgun them. Also some enemies are impossible to kill, the first mission a guy was standing in front of a branch (which must have been made of steel)and no bullet or grenade could penetrate it. I finally had to go up and melee him. The vehicle controls are horrible, tanks go all over the place and any vehicle takes damage just crashing into minor stuff. Plus the enemy AI is atrocious, they pretty much just sit in one place(lucky that the gun accuracy is off else it would be a cake walk). This game should have been delayed or canned, because they produced a pile of doo-doo.

Well, I thought hard about this and realized that I have sadly been disapointed alot. With that said, I narrowed it down to my 4 most disappointing games. You know what? Lets just make it five for a nice round number.

5. Lost Planet - This game had such high hopes for me. The graphics looked top notch and the demo was a blast. Unfortunatly, the plot didn't deliver and the game was way to short. On another note, what's up with the heat orbs? They want you to take your time on the game by finding medals and such, yet they encorage you to finish levels quickly lest you die.

4. Viva Pinata - The customization and gorgeous coloars scheme of this game really made it seem like it would be a worth while title. All my hopes where shot down by the long lasting nothingness which made me bored as can be.

3. Too Human - I have ranted about this piece of crap before. All I had to do was play the demo and to know that this game didn't live up to the hype. All the videos and gameplay demos shown looked so much fun. Then you try it yourself. You realize it is the same as all the other hack and slash games with a little rpg element thrown in. Bad demo + sheer boredem = Disaster.

2. Rock Band - Honestly, I still enjoy this game. The reason I put it on here, and at number two, is because of the hardware. Between the unresponsive drum kit, flimsy guitar, and what? Only one bass pedal?! How in the world am I suppose to play Rush on expert?! Not to mention the wide variety of emo songs for download, and next to none on the challenging proggressive rock genre a.k.a Dream Theater or Rush. Now maybe I'm being to hard on the content, but when I sing, I don't wanna scream or sound like a crying moron. And I still want some good old fashion guitar shredding. I love you Rock Band, but please give me better content.

1. Call of Duty 3 - Now don't get me wrong, this game isn't terrible. But in comparison to the other Call of Duty titles, it's pretty bad. The graphics looked gorgeous and the ability to throw grenades back at enemies was a real improvement. However, these high points don't make up for the lack of story, terrible AI and less than par vehicle controls. I have to give Treyarch a bit of a break though, they were only given eleven months to complete the game. Even so, when you play this game you have to ask yourself "Am I playing a Call of Duty game, or Medal of Honor?" I have high hopes for Call of Duty World at War. Treyarch has hopefully learned from their mistakes, and it doesn't hurt that the game is running on the Call of Duty 4 engine. But all in all, this game is not Call of Duty 1,2 or 4, and thus has become my most disapointing Xbox 360 title.

For me it has to be the dynasty warriors after dynasty warriors 3. In dw3 the combat was soo cool but dw4,5,6 just didnt have the same beatemup kick to it. Also all the burnouts after burnout 2 were dissappointments.

My most disappointing game for me has been Overlord. I am not sure why I wanted to play it, but I really had thought it was going to be better. It was the only one that I have played that I couldn't bring myself to finish.

GTA 4 is awesome, its not nearly as arcade as the rest but its definitely an improvement in many ways. My most disappointing game is Mass Effect, not once was I ever able to get into it.

What game have I hated? I've never really hated a game. Oblivion disappointed me with that god-awful scaling. If you want to visualize my disappointment, it comes in the form of some bandit out in the middle of nowhere, charging me while wearing daedric armor. Fortunately for the PC version, there're mods to fix such foolishness.

Really? I thought Assassin's Creed started off great, but then went downhill as repetition became the main "feature."

I have no idea what you just said, other than it had something to do with GTA 4 and Halo 3.

On an unrelated note, to the people who said Assassin's Creed: I kinda agree with you. It started off really well, and the first hour was amazing. Unfortunately, after that first hour, the game seems to offer no new experiences. I haven't finished it yet, though, so maybe it'll surprise me.

I had so many over the years but a most recent one would have to be Battlefield:Bad Company. I was so looking forward to this game and when i started playing it, tears started to fall down my eyes - it was just so bad.
