Dragonball Z raging blast. (I'm a huge dragonball/z fan)
I was expecting it to surpass tenkaichi 3 but it didn't even come close.
Tenkaichi 3 was supposed to be bad ass with all those characters. Turns out you can just use overpowered ones to destroy eveything. It blows.
Brutal Legend: Not bad, but a real let-down. Those RTS segments are the main reason for that.
Yakuza: All the praise I heard, how amazing it was, and I beat every battle in under a minute, and spend a lot of time doing endless busy work.
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.
Not a bad game, but it destroyed my vision of the original. :(

Friendly spells never miss in FFTA, just offensive skills like Firaga. :/

Then I must be remembering the fire spells missing too often. If that's true about cure spells not missing; then it's a step up from FFT in that respect.
lots, but most "recent" crushing disappointment: Call of Juarez (I have the feeling I should have known better so lemme preemptively say: shush)

Played the demo, ran around in the Old Tejas West with a Bible in one hand and a revolver in the other, reciting verses of condemnation, conviction and forgiveness as I blasted people in the face. I thought, "yessssss"

Then I get the full game and it's a roaring suckfest of repetitive, tepid shootouts, amazingly clunky and frustrating FPS "platforming", and one or two twitch-based bonus sequences that you would probably only get on your second playthrough and there is no way in heck I'm playing through that poo poo again. Also the ending sequence. Boooooooooooo. Spoiler: you're Billy Candle, and you're done running. If someone doesn't like it they can apparently go to hell. *cut to black*

stealth bits weren't terrible though.
My most disappointing game was Fable (the original). It was an okay game... until I got body shield. First, it made the game just a bit easy, but once I got it on level 3, no enemy could ever down me. I even ran into each attack the bosses threw at me because they couldn't do anything to me (One of the attacks Jack of Blades uses in the first fight was, according to my brother, an instant ko, it ended up taking 1/3 of my mana when I took the entire attack). Not even the final boss was any difficult, because he died WAY too fast.

Toss up between Wild Arms 4 (5 could be worse, I'll never know), and Deus Ex.

People praised Deus Ex for years, and when I finally played it, it was basically just another boring FPS.

Wild Arms 4 was just pathetic in every sense. Ruined one of my favorite franchises for me forever.
Dark Spire: A DS dunjeon crawl that was no way near the standard Shin Megami Tensei set over twelve years ago, and was even miserable against the first pool of raidance dungeon crawl. However, I did like style of the art.
People praised Deus Ex for years, and when I finally played it, it was basically just another boring FPS.


I don't think you played it right! Or rather, you misunderstood why people like it. It's so acclaimed because of its plot and its VERY open ended way of completing the game, not because of its core FPS gameplay.

Maybe not The Most Disappointing, but definitely disappointing, is Manhunt.
All these people in an uproar about the brutal violence... and it's really not that bad.
Guess you'd have to play this before all those GTAs and Silent Hills to be effected. Because a one-button plastic bag kill is like... chimp play next to PS2 Mark of Kri blood bath even. And that's Disney style!
It does play alright, and being sneaky-sneaky is always fun. However the brutal violence that got these games banned in some places is greatly disappointing.
