You really think so? Compare the original Halo to any other FPS out in 2001 and you would notice that it was miles ahead of its time.

I don't need to look at 2001. I can look at games even before Y2K that are better than Halo. Obviously the people who think it's God's gift didn't have a great deal of games under their belt prior to its release.

Currently, I'm a little dissapointed with GTA IV. The online, imo, is poor and while the single player is pretty good it's nothing amazing YET. (I'm around a third of the way through). The free roaming just isn't as fun as in San Andreas/Vice city either..
I'm just not warming to it.

Also I hyped up Motorstorm to be amazing and it was just VERY shallow when I actually got it & a PS3.

I also feel that the psp is a letdown. I remember playing it christmas morning and being disapointed. Horrible christmas feeling.

I have to admit the online mode on GTA IV is incredibly disappointing, I'd say it's the worst online play out of all my games. It's incredibly repetitive, boring, unfair and difficult. Games take forever to begin and most the time it creates your own game, meanwhile your party are also disconnecting, it winds me up ever so much. The single player is rather good but a little repetitive 'Kill this guy, lose the cops and bring back the package' and the free roam is pretty rubbish.

Don't get me wrong, GTA is a very good game but it's no where near as good as it was anticipated. You have to remember it was pretty much the most hyped and excitable game ever, it had extremely high expectations and didn't meet them in all ways.

well said, Jordy.

GTA IV was kinda a let down, I finished it really quickly. However, I did find the missions in GTA IV to be really good, shame they didn't have anymore :( The hospital for example was good. I also don't like how you can't run a business like in SA, it could of work in this one plus you can't buy homes with garages or nice homes with different rooms like in SA.

Anything from the Metal Gear series, and Metroid Prime 2/3.

But surely Metal Gear Solid 4 isn't a let down, so your theory is wrong. :)
