    Re: Disappointments of this year.

    I'm going to have to agree with people saying GTA IV; I'd add that to my list.

    It was a fun game for a while; but it sits on the shelf beside Vice City as the other GTA of the newer generations that I never finished.

    I don't know what it was - but it just kind of lost my interest after a while. For some reason it just didn't seem to have that "it" factor that III and SA had.

      I think everyone thought it would be, if not better, then at least as good as San Andreas.
      It wasnt.

        Madden 09 was unplayable, much like last year, so it gets my vote. I've also been disappointed with Guitar Hero: World Tour. Rock Band 2 exceeds it in every facet of the game, IMO.

          GTA 4-online play was NO fun. Gears Of War 2-for all of the positive comments about Horde play, the online is not broken-it's shattered.

                GTA 4 was a better game than san andreas. it set out what it intended to do. more so set in reality than over the top. more sophisticated than any GTA before it.

                people complain because there wasnt much to do outside of the story which is a legit complaint if u like that sorta thing. and there was no customization to the character which isnt possible with the route they took in the game.

                but it is better than San Andreas.

                  Re: Disappointments of this year.

                  It's funny because i never expected to see two of my favourite games of the past year (nba 2k9 and GTA IV) in this list at all.

                  Yeah i think GTA 4 was a great game. The city was so alive and it was just a blast to play for me.

                  Sure there are some thing that could/should have been better (online, customization of your character, more things to spend your money on etc) but i think as a whole it took the sandbox style game to a whole new level. I guess when something gets as hyped as a GTA game does people's expectations skyrocket but i for one felt i got value for money from the game and thought it was great.

                  As for dissappoint that would go to nba live 09 which i thought was going to really turn the corner this year but still was a very poor, unfinished title imo.

                  To each his own i guess.....

                    Re: Disappointments of this year.

                    For me personally, it was Madden (for the umpteenth year in a row) and GTA IV (just couldn't get into it).

                    But as a whole, what about Army of Two and Too Human. Army of Two was supposed to revolutionize multiplayer gaming, while Too Human has been in development since 1986. And from what I read, both gargled balls.

                      I was shocked how bad socom is. After COD4 raised the bars for shooters - socom was a giant air ball.

                            Madden should no longer qualify for this honor. If you're not surprised by it being a disappointment for a how long, is it really a disappointment?

                              Army of Two was fun for a very short time. I played thru the entire co-op story with a friend in one night and I'm not a hardcore shooter guy either. It was just done so quick and it was like "Where is the value here?". It didn't revolutionize anything either.

                              Too Human was clunky and just felt off to me. I didn't buy it, I was smart enough to rent first, but I still felt like I wasted my 7 bucks.
