I don't know of any game that was really a huge disappointment to me. Zoda's Revenge could have been better, but there's plenty of games that could have been better.

Personally I found Hitman 2: Silent Assassin on the PC disappointing. I never played the original but I remember that it and its sequel had alot of hype. I purchased Hitman 2: Silent Assassin along with The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast in a 3 for £20 offer. The latter two i've since played and completed and love, but i never took to Hitman. I was a big fan of the Thief series of games which I felt overshadowed (no pun intended) my experience with Hitman completely. I'm sure i'll give it another go one day.
I bought a dreaded third party expansion pack for my N64 which made playing Perfect Dark a living hell cos it would crash after about 45mins.
Another honourable mention is the 1988 Tiger, Sonic the Hedgehog handheld game. I got it for my birthday in around 1991, i'd be 7 or 8. I got so excited thinking it would have game gear graphics, it didn't.
Master of Orion 3. It was the last game I ever paid full retail for. Now I buy everything used or online. MoO2 was such a great game and I had fun playing it multiplayer, I buy MoO3 and what does it have? Almost no multiplayer support (3 months after release and there were a grand total of ZERO people in the room during a Saturday afternoon) and the entire game sucks.
Castelvania 64 and Castlevania Legacy of Darkness. Those games were utter crap.
Theres been quite a few of these I've come across in my lifetime...but most dissapointing of all time for me...Virtua Fighter...im not going to lie. I love fighting games, some of my favorites are the original Mortal Kombats, Soul Caliber, Street Fighterm, King of Fighters, Darkstalkers...but one series I cannot get into is Virtua Fighter..I wanted to like this series so badly..I couldnt enjoy the original, nor the saturn version. I tried the PS2 version and I refuse to spend money on the PS3 version.
Some things never die....Give me all your Sega belongings!!!
Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus - One of my favorite video game characters thrown into a meaningless 3rd person shooter.
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories - A disappointing and shallow card game version of Kingdom Hearts for the GBA. You could just hit A over and over and beat the game.
Suikoden III - I never played any other of the series but had heard how great the first two were and this one just seemed boring and never ending.
In all honesty, with as much as I love the first game (though I still own part 2), I didn't like the finished product that was MAX PAYNE II: The Fall of Max Payne. I loved the idea of a tragic love story in the film noir fashion gone overboard, but it was a concept best left that... a concept. It didn't really work very well as a video game. It bounced around (the pacing) too much, and I felt like I was merely playing disjointed fever memories from any number of my worst nightmares met with my most xXx sexual dreams, trapped in a world where John Woo was GOD, and I was forced to use a ROMAK-3 PSL (Romanian clone) sniper rifle, instead of the proper Russian made SVD Dragunov... even though the game says it's a Dragunov. HA!
Thus the flow of Max Payne #1 was a lot better, and I felt was handled much better as well, in spite of all the delays that first outing had. I understand that MAX PAYNE 2 didn't sell the way the makers and publishers had hoped for, so it's doubtful us fans of the franchise will ever see a part III. And if so, I hope they drop the whole "Film Noir Love Story" thing. It works for movies and novels, not for video games. I honestly enjoyed Total Overdose both as a video game over MP2 and what Once Upon A Time In Mexico should've been for a proper ending to the El Mariachi trilogy of movies.
With swords & guns, I kick ass. The future beware!
DK64 and Starfox Adventures were busts too. I have to say that the biggest letdown for me was Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga. Man did that game suck hard.
If they made a movie out of your top five worst sins, what would it be rated?
Check out my list of trades on GameTZ Link
Final Fantasy X-2
OMG i was sad after i beat it lol it was hard as hell to get into and the fighting style was not what i was used to in the final fantasy series. and i hated the level up feature. they should have did the sphere grid like X.
IMO this is the most disappointing.
Bujingai for the ps2...worst ending ever put into a game!!!
I don't know... I've never played that game, but Chrono Cross had the most abysmally-disappointing ending to any video game I've ever played. I was furious that I stayed up late on a school night to beat it; I wish I never did beat it, in fact (and yes, I got the "good" ending that requires Element trickery).
Knowledge is Power.
Power corrupts.
Study hard.
Be evil.
FF XII this game was going to be the game to get people out of their MMORPG perversion and back to the classic single player RPG. This game was so disappointing I didn't Finnish it nor have I even watched the DVD that came with my special edition of the game.
I'm thinking AD&D heroes of the lance. Loved the gold box series - loved the novels... but um... WTF
Kirby's Air Ride for the Gamecube really disappointed me. The controls were real awkward and the game was just too weird all around. It looked so good on the 64, too.
I thought Ico was a bit overhyped. I liked it but nowhere as much as the people who praised it for years after it's release.
And if we're talking about bad endings, Pac-In-Time's ending really sucked.
And don't bring up that stupid girlie Aladdin rip off! Shantea?
Metal Gear. All of them. I bought Sons of Liberty, played it once, and haven't given it a go since.
I would have to say Perfect Dark is high on my list. I played Goldeneye with my friends almost every day for two years. We were really longing to play Perfect Dark, but after a 2-3 year wait, we all had just moved on.
Perfect Dark was the most anticipated game I ever wanted to play. Yet, by the time it came out, I never bought it or even played it. That is what happens when you push a game back so many times, you lose most players.
