I always knew Mirror's Edge was over hyped. I could never understand what the big deal about it was.
As for Pop, I didn't buy it but am disappointed it's on such a list. Then again what can you expect from something thats only supposed to have about 16hrs gameplay.
That game Spore has been talked about for years so a lot of people must be really annoyed. Hopefully the x-pack can save it.

I dont really know too much about the other games, but Im surprised LBP isn't on this considering it was delayed and the online community is really poor. Im sure there are good levels out there but they're hard to find with all the crap people upload.

BS!

Mirrors Edge, disappointing, I can expect. TFU, half the public didn't like it, the other half had their dreams about actually using the Force in a game come to life in it. Dead Space? One of the most acclaimed titles of the year. Prince of Persia? Has he even played the game?

If he thinks that the boss battles in Dead Space were inane he is a *bleep*ing moron.

I personally think Spore was a total letdown, I was expecting something pretty good but ended up with another piece of shit to be taken back to the store at some point.

i agree with Cruxis Mana and really as he even played prince of persia

This list is either a joke or so much fail it came out of a dogs ass.

Heres why:
I've heard nothing BUT good news about EndWar. Havn't played it so I won't go to into details, but just saying that this is the first I've heard of Endwar being bad.

Mirrors Edge is awesome. Period. Nuthing else left to talk about. Done. Kaputz.
Just because it had a few flaws and poor combat (which I think should'nt have even been there in a game like this in the first place) doesn't make it a dissapointment.
It's one of the funnest titles of the year.

Prince of Persia: Havn't played it (yet) but from what I've seen it stays true to the series even if its completely different and looks even more fun than before.

Spore: it had alot of bad press going for it,with its DRM and every EA fiasco, but most of that bad press was usually more about EA than the game itself. The game is unbelievable fun, and the freedom it gives you to make anything you found cool in star trek to something completely your own is hardly dissapointing.
Once again not the best game around but still a pretty fun game thats really good.

Dead SPace.........I think the above posts can cover me on this game. Its a great title and honestly why bother??

I'm not even gonna get into the rest of this list because I'm just wasting my valuable time.

If this is what you consider bad I wonder what you consider good.

Halo,Brawl?? just because of they hype or are you just closeminded?

Once again this list= monkey poo.

I haven't played half of them games so...yeah

You know I really expected Brawl to be up here.

I'd put Red Alert 3 there. Most people probably don't know why it should be up there, but being an RA fanboy, it was extremely disappointing what EA did with the franchise.

It is their opinion and they are entitled to it. Stop saying the list is bullshit or pathetic. You merely disagree with it. Its just as valid as your opinion..

-Mirror's Edge:Damn it,you consider Mirror's Edge as the 6°th most disappointing game of 2008? This game was excellent in all angles:graphics,gameplay,ways of playing (you could use parkour to evade enemies and complete the game without firing a single shot or going in a parkour gunblaze like in every other game).Electronic Arts crated the "First Person Runner" genre thanks to Mirror's Edge,so shut your trap on this one.

-Prince Of Persia:Get lost! Prince of Persia's first incursion in PlayStation 3 hardly was disappointing.Have you played it?

-Dead Space:No,not again.Another of the best games in the year called disappointing? Stop already.This game is overall excellent.

-Star Wars:The Force Unleashed:No,NOT...AGAIN! The game was a great game as for graphics and gameplay...storyline too!

Play those games and you'll reverse your opinion about them.

What the hell DEAD SPACE OWNS

Know what? You all suck, my opinion is clearly better than yours. For crying out loud people, they aren't even trying to be objective in this list. THEY ARE ALLOWED TO FEEL LET DOWN or DISAPPOINTED, THAT DOES NOT MAKE THE GAME BAD, THEY ARE NOT SAYING THAT THE GAME IS BAD (though a couple of times it could come across like they are). THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.

How is mario kart wii disappointing?It's a great game.I agree about TFU,it was good,but it could have been WAY better.

I'm surprised Mario Kart Wii would be on there, despite not yet having the chance to play it myself. I know it wasn't a great game, but the online play makes it seem like it would be fun and not disappointing.

I completely agree with Spore topping the list. I personally found it to be the most disappointing gaming purchase I've ever made. The game itself is mediocre, tailoring to creators instead of those like me who prefer gameplay. The first four stages are incredibly brief and lack depth, and the space stage is irritating with constantly being attacked if you are hated by a couple races. That game could have been so much more, and instead it isn't much more than a create-a-[insert alien/vehicle/boat/plane/spaceship/building] and very few practical uses to put these creations in.

EndWar? They probably played the PSP version and thought everything was like that version. Now THAT was disappointing.

Mario Kart Wii is a great game to play multiplayer, even on Wi-Fi.
this list is mo0t. half those games are great.

Mirrors Edge? I was expecting that game to be crap and it turned out awesome. Same with Dead Space. What a crappy list.

Mario Kart DS>Mario Kart Wii>Mario Kart 64>Super Mario Kart>Mario Kart Super Circuit...

How is Mario Kart Wii a failure? Sure the trick system is horrible and unimaginative and there are some undeserving characters *Cough*BabyDaisy*cough* but it was brilliant, BTW the Wii-wheel works perfectly!

Spore was definitely a huge let down, the customisation was like something from a lisensed EA-game, which it pretty much was, and the first two phases are the only ones that are in any way decent and there's hardly anything to do in them!

The only ones that I disagree with are Dead Space and Spore. The people who reviewed Spore that call it disappointing didn't even play through the entire game, they were missing out on a huge chunk of the game so their opinions don't count. I just wonder if this is the same for Wired.

They didn't mention Brawl?

I don't. There were many things wrong with Brawl which weren't a problem in Melee. All that hype and all the delays and that's what we got. I'm not saying it's a rubbish game, it just could have better.

The Force Unleashed was one of the biggest letdown games of the year, and would have been my number 1. I don't think spore deserved top spot, because no matter how poor a game it was, it WAS revolutionary in character creation, and bear in mind that they released it in a rush.

k so, GTA IV ain't mentioned and neither is Smash Bros Brawl.

What the hell is going on with the people that made this list?

; ;

Fail.

Honestly, there was no real way that Spore or Force Unleashed could have lived up to expectations, their bar was simply set too high.

GTA IV was pretty bad, still, i have to say. Even so, thats having GRAND THEFR AUTO. GRAND THEFT. About stealing and nraisning the crime rate. sure, you can so that, but gameplay was horrible, along with the missions. the story may have been amazing, but the only thing good about that game is XBOX live or PSN or network play..

I'm really no surprised to see spore up the top. Honestly, I'm really NOT surprised!

I was dissapointed seeing Mirror's Edge there. It was a great game, and a really inventive title. I don't understand why GTA IV is a dissapointment to so many people, it was an amazing game. I think most people who flame it just can't handle the difficulty level.
