I'm going to have to say Spore and Left 4 Dead 2.
They promised so much in Spore and it didn't quite work out; while in L4D2 it was just more of the same. :/
What's the single most dissapointing game you've ever played?

Well disappointing implies a high expectation, so most truly crap games are out.I usually have a fairly good idea of what a game will be like going in, so I typically avoid disappointment.
Hm..
Probably FFTA or FFXII. FFTA was a huge disappointment, due to FFT being my absolute favorite game ever. But I strongly disliked the art style going in, so that mitigated my disappointment after playing.
In FFXII I was happy with the news that there would be no love story or that it would be connected with Ivalice. I won't start another FFXII bashing thread, but suffice to say I was not impressed.
Spore without a doubt was probably my biggest disappointment ever.
Deus Ex 2 also runs pretty high on that list. I'd have to agree that FFTA was a let down after FFT. I wasn't let down by FFXII that much. I loved the feel of the game as far as the battle system went all how large the world was with so much to do, but the story felt lacking and fell flat with me.
FFVII and FFX. I still can't really forgive either of them or the people who overhype these titles. They are still my least favorite entries. Though I have grown fond of VII in recent years.
Mario Galaxy - I'm seriously not feeling this title and I sorta blame it on Sly Cooper for changing my idea of what a platformer should feel like. Its not a bad game mind you but I stopped playing a few months ago and I'm still trying to muster up the will power to get back to it and that is just unheard of for a Mario title with me.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I would have to say Jurassic Park for SNES.... No save point..... and Lack Luster ending!!

Well, I actually liked the Harry Potter games, and then Goblet of Fire came out. I don't buy the games anymore.
Oh, and although I haven't played the earlier games, I played Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits, and End of Darkness was bullcrap compared to it. It wasn't horrible, but it was too messed up.
I don't think there can be an answer other than Spore after thinking about this for a bit. They apparently spent so much time on letting you design your creatures and play dress up with them and their civilization that they forgot to design gameplay that was actually worth playing.
Literally every mini-game in it was either so simplified that it was no fun, or outright broken to be honest.
Devil May Cry 2
Spore just set itself up for this really. There was not only a ton of hype, but that huge demo that Wright showed over a year before release looked more fun than the actual game ended up being. I don't think it was his fault in the end. Someone on the team made the call to make it easier and more cute. That's not what people were excited about.
Final Fantasy VII, easily. 'Best Final Fantasy ever'? Hype is such an illusion.
Uncharted and Uncharted 2... I don't get it. I hear all this hype of GoTY and such, my friends insisting I play it... and all it is, is a linear 3rd person shooter. Sure, the story was fun, and it will make a great movie (stupid not to make one), but the actual shooter gameplay offered nothing special, and of all the complaints of linear games, I don't get why this didn't get knocked for it. The only reason FFXIII gets knocked for being linear is cause it's an RPG... Though there are linear RPGs....
That was only dissapointing because of hype. As for personally dissapointing, maybe Zelda Spirit Tracks... first Zelda I had to make myself beat.

Dragon Ball Z: Legacey of Goku I was on a massive DBZ kick back then, and to be honest, I still kind of like it, and have played other games for it - some are pretty decent.
This game however... um, no thanks! You are as weak as anything, your attacks take forever to power up (and they can't hurt a fly if you don't) you can only fly for a short time, and you can't fight and fly at the same time (which every true DB fan wants to do.)
You can level up like in RPGs, but the fights are just unfairly uneven, by the time you have leveled up - the enemies are even more powerful. I don't mind leveling up - I love it. But in this game something like a dog can kill you in three hits, and you have no time to fight back because you have to charge your energy and you can't get away...
Bayonetta
Definitely Final Fantasy XII, felt like we had waited for forever for this game and it's nothing like the rest of the series at all.
I think it was after I fully beat FFT for the first time that FFXII really started growing on me, it's one of my favorite "games" of all time but definitely not one of my favorite Final Fantasy's.
Dragon Rider. It's a PS2 game I picked up at Video Game Underground and well, it just sounds more interesting than it actually is :s
