[THE PURPLE VIDEO GAME AWARDS] Most Disappointing Game

God gave us hands, and he wants us to play with these things called video-games. But this year, we got quite a big dose of disappointment, take a look at these five games... and 3 (MAYBES) and make your decision!

Mirror's Edge
http://talkplaystation.com/wp-conten...e9-256x296.jpg
Reason: A 'parkour' experience fell flat on it's face, promising a huge experience and only time trials etc etc. It fell flat on its face with flash animated and cheap cutscenes, a story nobody wanted to even care about, only seven hours of play (on average) and quite a buggy experience.

Haze
http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/wp-co...08/05/haze.jpg
Reason: We were promised the best multiplayer experience on the PS3, and it was Free Radical for gods sake! Buggy graphics, a storyline that was... not a storyline at all, the averagely buggy vehicle sections and a general unbalanced gameplay led this to be one of the worst AND disappointing games of the year

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
http://xbox360.gaming-universe.de/sc...-unleashed.jpg
Reason: It promised BIG BIG BIG, but the whole 'real star wars experience' was crushed by it's simple lack of everything, I don't even have to go into detail about this, it's just a poor effort in every department. I also looked foward to having the stereotypical hot girl to relate to as the 'love interest'... e.g: 'u girl, i luf u'

Spore
http://www.ripten.com/wp-content/upl...-art-final.jpg
Reason: The thing with Will Wright is that he's too good for us, four years after the last great Sims, we all saw the Wright slip away from our Radar, and now we can all safely say - his latest game sucks **** through a straw. It trips over it's ambition... a bit like Fable... and even turned childish and drawn out.

Alone In The Dark
http://www.aeropause.com/wordpress/a..._dark_5_pc.png
Reason: As a Australian fella said, there was potential for true greatness here - but it was dashed down by the fault storytime, camera views, the whole INVENTORY thing and just about every tedious minigame thrown in for good measure. I played the PS3 version last week... and then put it down after five minutes...

The Maybes

These are the games that I think fail, or failed ... or maybe just fell an inch... please do beware - that some of these will actually be in the ULTIMATE GAME OF THE YEAR list, they're just all a bit... shallow though.

Grand Theft Auto IV
http://www.digitalgypsy.com/vfxlog/u...mb-400x502.jpg
Reason: Because I said so, and because that it really just wasn't GTA IV, to quote myself ''it's a GTA clone... it's copying itself...", it took itself too serious and is it just me or does the whole fun aspect of GTA IV suddenly vanish, the moment your vitural phone rings, and your vitural cousin wants you to drive him to the vitural bar... hmmm...

Army Of Two
http://www.keenandgraev.com/wp-conte.../03/ao2box.jpg
Reason: It promised little, but it didn't deliver enough. It was said that it would be ''one of the best co-operative experiences'', but it was quickly dashed by bugs, annoying voices and some... homosexual hints... THERE I SAID IT! It just seems like you can take a nuclear warhead to the head and your AI buddy will just revive you OR you can just carry on merrily, no need for another dude methinks.

Call of Duty: World At War
http://gamextract.com/wp-content/upl...war-boxart.jpg
Reason: I love it, but you all hate it - going back to World War II seemed a step back too far for most of you, but what the buck right... ok I'll admit I haven't been online for a month and Veteran is as easy as hell... it is quite disappointing actually...

Haze in my opinion
It was suppose to be the shooter of the year...

Hard one, Spore, TFU and Haze were all huge disappointments, as was Alone in the Dark, I don't see what's wrong with Mirrors Edge, they really didn't promise much, they time trials add tons of replayability, the story is quite fun to run through, I've barely put the game down so I can't see how anyone could see it as a disappointment since they didn't promise anything huge, we got exactly what we was expecting.

Spore. It's fun when you control one of your creatures but then as soon as you go onto other stages it gets boring really quick.

Mirrors Edge wasn't that disappointing. It's a good game and I don't really mind the cutscenes. I don't think CoD:WaW is a disappointment I prefer it to CoD4.

the force unleashed by far

I voted haze it was rushed to quickly.

AOF was fun for me lol :S

GTA. For all the reasons you stated and more. I was MEGA disappointed. :(

Cod Waw

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009.

Jesus Christ don't get me started.

I would vote guitar hero world tour but as it's not there I voted Haze.

COD:WAW

Such a shame for a cod game to be so much of a copy of a game that is set 60 years before it. And its still **** even though its copys from a game of the year.

From that list I own or have played: Mirrors Edge, TFU, CoD: WaW, GTA IV and AoT, and my most hated game would be Army of Two.

I say CoD WaW. The multiplayers, somehow les enjoying and/or good as CoD4's multiplayer, therfore, cant wait for modern warfare.

Call of Duty: World at War for me just becuase once I finished 10th prestige and all that on Cod 4 I was so pumped for Cod 5. I think overly pumped becuase I expected more and its an exact replica of Modern Warfare but with a WWII twist.

I was disappointed with 'The Force Unleashed'.

Ooer, 10,000th post.

Spore, do it once, and never again.

cod5,


Wasnt as good as it was ment to be

gta 4 for me

I think people were just expecting more after COD4 but COD6 will be the one to watch, I'm sure of it.

Spore was only a half dissapointment for me. I liked how you could customize the creature but when I went in that mode it froze sometimes. Also the space level and tribe stages bore me but I like the other ones as the first one makes me laugh, 2nd I love how you control it and 4th I like how you build your own city and can do war :)
So it doesn't deserve the worst

Call of duty probably, it's been in that era so many times and it seems like they can't be bothered to do a fresh story like cod4 did. Also I don't know about anyone else but the online is rubbish for me like 80% of the time.
I only like the flame thrower and the zombie mode. :D

Yeah it annoys me! Is it because it's WW2 or Treyarch developed it?
