When sonic unleashed was announced, I was so happy and excited for it. But when I got it, it was maddeningly crappy. What game sunk YOUR high hopes boat down to the bottom of the let-down sea?

easily Resident Evil 5 on ps3. The trailers looked awesome. I loved the demo, but most of all, RE4 was my favourite game of last gen, and easily in my top 5 games of all time. I was pumped beyong belief for the game but when I got it, and played it, I realized that it was utter ****.

To my shock, Dead Space, a sleeper hit of 2008 ended up being a MUCH better game than RE5 despite have a much smaller budget, development cycle, & releasing 6 months earlier.

RE5 just cowers in the shadow of its illustrious predecessor...

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask!

I really didn't want to say it, but it's the only Zelda game that has ever left me feeling as if it hates me. I just can't get into it!

But I still love it!

Hmm, I've had some big disapointments with games, but the biggest letdown would have to be Spiderman: Web of Shadows (PS2 version)

It was ****ing terrible in every way, while every other version was 3D roaming, the PS2 one was a direct PSP port, the gameplay was a shockingly bad 2D platformer that belonged on the NES and the plot was worse (the "ending", if you wish to call it that, was just a tiny box that popped up after you beat the last boss that said "Well done, you saved the city" or some crap like that) and the "Amazing Allies" that were praised on the box were totally useless, not to mention the game was really short. As in, finish in 3 hours short. I returned it the next day, very annoyed.

TMNT: Smash Up also deserves a mention, I played it the other day, it is a piece of utter trash. Good thing I only rented it...

If you play the Wii for online, you are officially doing it wrong.

Not really, i should have the right to expect quality online... The campaign for conduit was good but put plain and simple, I bought conduit for the online FPS experience. I generally dont liek playing alone and like working with people to win win win

All the games I've ever hyped turned out to be exactly how I expected them or better. I guess that I just have a good taste in games.

O.k guys, don't go off topic here. I also have to say conduit to cause it was supposed to be groundbreaking and the most hardcore wii game ever, and it was hardcore. But it wasn't NEARLY as good as I thought it would be.

Sonic in general is up there since he went 3D. Adventure 2 Battle on the Cube was actually decent (not the greatest, but at least decent) and from there it kept spirally down to worse and worse games.

What do you expect? - Spiderfag is the gayest of all of the Marvel characters. He is soooooo lame.
By definition, there can never be a "good" Spiderman game.
Batman would kick Spiderhomo's ass.

Batman isn't even a superhero. He has a belt and a crappy mask. He sucks... unless we're talking about Adam West. He rapes.

First of all, Spiderman can take out Batman in one punch, I really doubt Batman's deep voice and gadgets can really help him when he's stuck in web.
Secondly, DC as a whole fails, because they only have about four notable heroes, and the only good villains are from Batman.
And thirdly, there have been some really good Spiderman games, like Spiderman 1 and 2, and Ultimate Spiderman.

Also, I think that language is inappropriate here.
