Hmm I'd say Civ 3... it was quite a disappointment that it was Civ 2 with worse AI. The only enhancement was strategic resources and culture. Oh wait did I call culture an enhancement? Sorry that's wrong... it's a bane!

Nothing recently. I'm not sure why people still buy games without at least a periphery glance at the reviews.

I was disappointed in Halo 2 big time.

Thats what made me turn to the Dark Side and join the PC sith lords.

BF2 was upsetting as well, if though the game is awesome...the requirments for it are staggering and with the current bugs and teamkilling that ocurrs it just sucks.


Once in awhile you get a decent game, but most of the time you get shot by your @sshole teammates.

Yeah my cousin made the mistake with Leisure Suit Larry. Actually we expected it to have similar gameplay as the previous except it's 3D. Turned out it's a mature rating game with kiddish repetitive gameplay and a control scheme geared toward consoles. Just can't understand what the heck the designers were thinking. Man I kind of miss those good O Sierra adventure games.

Prince of Persia Series
The old dos version was Great! 2d action at best :D.

Lord of the rings; the first one for the xbox. The controls are complicated, lets not forget the massive amounts of bugs.

Er, worst game?

Probably has to be... err.... Battlefield 1942... bots were dumb as hell, game was too big.

Another game I disliked... probably ... the space hulk for PS.

Ditto. I only beat in the hopes the ending would be cool.
But I lost interest in the game by about level 3.

Deus Ex 2 was also a HUGE letdown. As was Master Of Orion 3. Dungeon Siege 2 was a minor letdown.
Neverwinter Nights was a major kick in the nuts after Baldurs Gate 2.
SimCity 4 actually seemed to drain some of the magic from the previous games.
Half-Life 2 was a downer but only because it couldn't live up to the impossible hype.
KOTOR 2 really wasnt that bad. It had the same number of glitches, but people felt like it had more because they were expecting the sequel to be perfect. Once I got over the fact that the game wasnt as good as its predecessor, I actually started to enjoy it for what it was. Its a decent game with similarities to a great game I played before.


On the plus side: Warhammer and Act of War were both very pleasant suprises. They came out of left field and really made me enjoy my computer again.
