| What game for the Xbox or Xbox 360 did you have humongously high hopes for
that quickly splatted after spending a few hours with it?
For me, it was "the next, new and improved Halo" Brute Force. And all the
mags raved about it -- and least the ones that wanted to get their reviews
out first.

Star Trek: Legacy.
Didn't buy it because of the poor reviews. Haven't been a trek fan since
DS9, but I thought the previews on this looked really sharp, and I was
in the mood for something space combat-ish. Oh well. |

I liked Brute Force. One recent game that didn't live up to the hype as far as
I'm concerned is Just Cause. >> Stay informed about: Most disappointing Xbox/Xbox 360 game? |

Saints Row, technically clever, just no fun compared to GTA.

i would have to say saints row online becuase it just plain ly blows.
Its hard to get kills and spawn camping is way to easy. After five
games of getting spawned camped i turned my 360 let my anger out and
turned it back on and blew up some police cars in the story mode
because it was better than anything else. >> Stay informed about: Most disappointing Xbox/Xbox 360 game? |

Bruce Lee - great license, terrible implementation. Graphics no better
than SNES. >> Stay informed about: Most disappointing Xbox/Xbox 360 game? |

Viva Pinata - too complicated for my kids; too anal for me. Sold it
for almost what I paid for it so nothing to complain about really... >> Stay informed about: Most disappointing Xbox/Xbox 360 game? |

I would probably say MLB 2K7 and next would probably be Gears of War. >> Stay informed about: Most disappointing Xbox/Xbox 360 game? |

The most recent game to disappoint me was Phantasy Star Universe. The
single player game was so horrible from the story, to the voice
acting, to the corny dialogue, to the retarded characters (Vol bros)
to the broken gameplay itself, I was surprised I last 10 chapters into
it. >> Stay informed about: Most disappointing Xbox/Xbox 360 game? |
