FFTA, no contest. That's got to be one of the worst made games of all time. God it was boring.

Daikatana. The demo was so bad I almost laughed. Then got killed by a f**king frog. Gah! Okay, I'm joking, but it still comes in my top 5. My biggest gaming letdown has to be the fact that you HAVE to have an internet connection in order to play Half-Life 2. I don't have one on my gaming PC, so I had to use a crack. THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING, VALVe.
Also, I'd like to nominate Final Fantasy 1 and Skies of Arcadia Legends, for their terrible, terrible endings. And if anyone can fully explain FF's ending to me, they get a cookie.

Actually, I rather liked the style, and the story was the classic Square sort that I like. But I admit the action is tediously slow.
The biggest letdown I can remember was a NES game called "Demon Sword" I think. Got it for my birthday, had finished it in a few hours by essentially just mashing buttons. Rather sad. But then I didn't exactly have high hopes for it either, so maybe it doesn't classify as a "letdown".

Chrono Cross - it had it's good points, but I expected a lot more of a game that was so critically acclaimed and supposed to be the sequel to Chrono Trigger.
My biggest let down was Star Wars Rougue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike. It looked so cool in the commercials, but when I got it that christmas morning, I was so disappointed. So, since then I reaserch games before i buy them to make sure they don't let me down.

This probably wasn't the biggest, but the ending for Jurassic Park for SNES was really really REALLY lame for as hard as that game was. It was like a mode 7 of the island that rotated and said "You have escaped Jurassic Park". That was it.

For me, the biggest gaming let down of my life was Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. I loved the first KOTOR. I beat it three or four times with different character styles/alignments. KOTOR II took everything that I loved about KOTOR and eliminated it, then took everything stupid that I hate about video games and made it central to the gameplay and story. Speaking of story, there wasn't one. It was the most stupid plot ever. Horrible game, horrible let down, waste of $50.
Haha I know.. I rented that game so many times trying to beat it. I even had the Nintendo Power maps and they were worthless. It wasn't so much that it was *difficult* in that it was "hey, have fun guessing where you are supposed to go now!".. If I'm remembering it right anyways. It had those FPS type levels inside it too which were even more confusing (because they were crappy FPS.. like the original Wolfenstein 3d type FPS) and I remember there was one specificly where I spent forever trying to figure out what to do only to discover that there was a door somewhere that was wierd looking (it didn't look like a door to me - I didn't even notice it) and I had to open it to let out some raptors or *something*. In any case, I spent so much time on it and that ending was just not worth it.Originally Posted by Beldaran
Edit: I couldn't find a picture of it but it was something like this:
Stick that (yes, with the logo) on a mode 7 plane and rotate it. Then put "You have escaped Jurassic Park" on top of it and that is the ending.
Most underrated game? I'm inclined to make mention of games that were popular back six years ago, but would flop now due to comparisons between technology.
For example, the game Outcast. It got, like, 90% in PCGamer. Instant Hit. Well, I played it merely last year, and it was very difficult to even play, much less enjoy. A Shame.
I also didn't like Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. It was nothing compared to Aria Of Sorrow, White Night Concerto, and obviously one of the greatest games of all time, Symphony Of the Night.
I played Outcast a year or two ago. I thought it was pretty good, but you have to remember that even back then opinion was divided. I remember PCZone giving it a sixty-odd percent score, which seemed a little harsh. I'd have given it about 80%, but that's me. I like Zelda-ish open adventure/platformers.Originally Posted by Britannianhero4
I'd also like to mention Quake III. I'm an Unreal man myself, but I gave it a go and found it quite enjoyable (Hell, I kicked some proverbial ass with it when I was a tUniversity). But after a while, I just got bored. THAT'S what UT had over Q3 - multiple game modes. And don't talk to me about mods, they're useless if you don't have an internet connection, as I didn't back in those days. And there was also the difficulty levels. There were 5, and you kept going back and choosing a lower one until you realised that you were always using the easiest setting all the time.
Bit of a dissapointment for me, really. Plus you couldn't go akimbo. TRAVESTY!
