Biggest disapointments of 2002?

[Yamcha]

I suppose one could turn it around and say what exactly is so bad about Mario. Without the water pack, people would be claiming it was a rehash of Mario 64.

Yeah, it is teh kidday!

Wow, you've had 2 of the most idiotic posts I've ever seen outside of the GameFAQS board, and both in the same thread.

I don't like first person games so Metroid didn't interest me.

Don't be so quick to dismiss it - it really is that good, whether first-person is your thing or not. It just works.

the disapointment still lingers

1. Daytona wasn't this year.. i don't even know if it was last year.

2. it rocked.. how could any racing fan not have fun w/ daytona DC?
the controls were weird, but once you got used to them..

plus, the whole thing was online (for a little while, at least)

i feel like i got my money's worth, personally.

Nintendo's first half of the year:

First of all, they only publish 1 gamecube game in this time, and its a mediocre sports game of all things! They release nothing interesting on the GBA either. Everyone was so hyped for a Nintendo system that actually has games released on it, and then they went and pulled that crap. I'm willing to be the NEO GEO had more interesting releases in that period of time.

Super Monkey Ball 2:

Take the fucking IQ test out of my videogame.

I am not dismissing it. I know it's a good game. It looks wonderful and it sounds pretty fun.... But I am not much of a Metroid fan in the first place and I really do dislike playing in the first person so.. I guess I would probably rent or borrow the game if I had a Cube, but even if I had a Cube I'd probably not pay full price for it. I am pretty open minded to new things though so.. you never know. I might enjoy it more than I think. The kiosk demo seemed ok.

Beyond my utterly awful life? Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance.

Better graphics and brighter than Circle of the Moon, but very easy and lacking in items when compared to the game that came before it.

I was not too impressed with Socom. It just got boring after a while and Splinter Cell kicks its ass. There is also the fact that I don't have broadband so that could be my problem.

Not a whole lot of what I played disapointed me. The only stuff that I was interested in that turned out to be something for me to avoid was:

Stuntman: Just not as fun as it could be. Its all just repeat till done. I was hoping for something more.

State of Emergancy: I was not expecting GTA4 like some were, but the game just did not offer enough varity. The game could have been great with some tweaks and additions. The non-mission mode was pretty fun for a while though.

Dead To Rights: Looked amazing like a year and a half ago when it was very early, turned out to be a heap of hot shit that kills off all who comes near it.

Other then those two nothing sticks out in my mind.

Mario Sunshine is great.
JSR:F is great, and better then the shit that is JSR.
Metroid Prime rules the roost like I knew it was going to.
Super Monkey Ball 2 although easier is still great fun.
