10 videogames that failed to live up to the hype


Recommended Posts

Def do not agree with Fable... i dont think the hype for Fable 1 was that much... Fable 2 on the otherhand was waaay overboard. IMO Fable 1 def lived up to the hype.... great game.

i enjoyed Enter the Matrix actually. The Path of Neo was also very entertaining. Though I dont recall any hype on these titles.

I must admit that I came in here expecting to see MW:2 topping the list. Instead got a pretty lame list.

I think what they mean as to living up to the hype (which I think other people here are also missing) is what the developer promised to launch in a game vs. what actually was launched. For example, while I also enjoyed Fable for the game it was, like the author states it's a good game but not the groundbreaking "watch an oak tree grow" that was promised. With MW:2, nothing more was promised. Was the gaming community excited about it? Absolutely, but the game didn't deliver anything less than they said it would. I think Spore might've missed being on the list because, although it wasn't as fun to play as one would imagine, the game did include all the play elements it boasted about.

Re: Lair

I realize it was months too late, but they did patch in analogue control.

I must be one of about one people who kinda liked that game. Wasn't overly spectacular, but I don't regret buying / playing it, either.

I thought it was awful. I never owned it myself but I watched my mate play it. I couldn't even do that for long though it was so bad. Matrix Online should have been included as a .5 :p
