Dude! I hated that shit too. The jokes weren't funny the control was terrible; fuck, shit wasn't fun.

Most disapppointing for me:
VC: It was like everybody and their mother was genuninely excited about this game. After two days of playing, I realized I was only playing to hear the voices and see funny or interesting things, not because I was enjoying myself. The experience was the complete opposite of GTA III (a game a couldn't stop playing).

I think most people are forgetting THE dissapointing game: Final Fantasy VIII.

I have a 3 way tie:

Armada - Could have been an Asteroids action RPG. That would have rulled. The combat sucked.


Monkey Ball 2 - What the hell happened there? Complete 180 from the original. The compleatly unessesary "start pad" at the beginning of every level was enough to piss me off. The horrible full of luck devoid of fun levels after the start pads made it worse.


Rouge Leader - Everybody said it was a fun and amazing looking game. I buy it and find a horribly boaring slow(?) flight sim that outside of one scene where the sun reflected off of a lake looked entirely mediocre.

I loved Shining Wisdom. I agree about RE2,I'm still trying to figure out why so many people say it's the best in the series. My biggest disappointment has to go to Fighting Force. I had such high hopes for this game and it still goes down in history(IMO)as the only game that had a demo disk version that ended up better then the finished product. Not to mention all the :bs: the mags were saying about this game.

P.S. Dark Savior is a mixed bag. Ultimately, I think it's a really good game,but then I think about my favorite thing about it being the word "Landstalker" on the back wall of a bar.

Sonic Adventure 2 - I loved the original and was expecting a game of the same quality which is not what I got. Worth playing for the Sonic and Shadow levels but it was overall a very lazy game. At least I had fun with it which is more than could be said about...

Mario Sunshine - Irredeemably shit.

Amen! and No!

Sonic Adventure 2 was a horrible letdown after a spectacular 1st game. I never played past level 2. I don't care how good the rest of the game might be, that Knuckles level is just too awful to ever bother playing through.

Mario Sunshine was increadible fun that wouldn't let me go until the end. There about a dozen unforgettable "moments". Great fun. Great graphics. Spectacular old school platforming sections. Mario 64 was crap. The whole point of the game seemed to be fighting the horrible controll and not making Mario walk right off a cliff.

I really wanted to like Mario Sunshine but ultimately it was 'unforgetable' for all the wrong reasons. I literally snapped the disc in the end which is a first for me. At least Zelda is a great game.

Alas, Landstalker was the reason I was so disappointed.... Landstalker is one of my favourite ever games, and when I read about DS being like LS it was one of the main games that convinced me to buy Saturn (NiGHTS being the other).... So, when I got it it was not much like LS and the fighting thing was lame and I really was super disappointed....

Luckily I discovered many other Saturn games I didn't expect to like so games like Daytona and Sega Rally more than made up for it.

One day I am going to try to go back to DS with a clean slate and hope to enjoy it for what it is... but I am not too optimisitc... :\

What if you found FFVII disappointing? I was all hyped for the game since I thought FFVI was rather good...so I preordered VII and was all anticipating and it finally arrived and I found a slow, contrived, mediocre game that had good graphics and no characters.


Needless to say, I skipped VIII

Final Fantasy VII (PSone) - got it for Christmas and played for 10 hours then never touched it again.

Metal Slug X (PSone) - I love the original Slug but I really can't get into this one, the flow of the action could be better. *-neo
