What is the most dissapointing game you have ever played?
I'm not talking about some game you wouldn't like anyway... but some game that (if done right) could have become a great game, but for some reason they didn't do it right (bugs, annoying interface, etc)...
I'll come with mine later, I gotta go now...
Btw, this is no vote, you just write what game you're talking about, and why you think that game is a dissapointment...
EDIT:
Actually the thread should have said: "The most dissapointing game ever"...

microids? Never heard of them...
One of the worst game I have ever played (and bought  ), was American Dream...
An unknown game, about creating some fast-food stores, near the dessert... On the slowest speed (Don't remember if you actually could change the speed), the only thing you could do, was in the "buy" area, since you had to keep clicking "buy", in order to buy something... What I bought, was sold the same second I clicked buy, so if I wasn't in the buy screen, I was loosing money...
and this was in the beginning of the game... you could upgrade your fast-food store, but what's the point, when you sell faster than you produce (or should I say "buy" the food) with the smallest store avaliable...
After 2 days, I figured it was wasted money... and I can't get refund back, when turning in the game

Lucasarts do good point-click adventure games, and exceptional flight sims. Of course, these were "back in the days"... I haven't played many of their present games but quite a few of their Star Wars output titles have garnered disappointing reviews.
There was one Nintendo 64 game that came out in 2000, and which everybody hoped would be an amazing FPS, called Perfect Dark. I remember our entire household loved Goldeneye 007 before it, and this game was going to bring a Mature rated plotline and gritty realism and full motion capture animations to the Nintendo 64.
Well, as far as gameplay went, the game was superb. But it quickly became apparent that the plot was definitely not worth the Mature rating that it received - being as it was a childish mish-mash of vaguely spooky X-Files mixed with a dose of appallingly corny B-movie AlieNZ type script. The weapons were pretty retarded too, featuring such idiotic offerings as an assault rifle that came with an *undetachable* proximity mine, an assault rifle that came with a threat detection computer, a submachine gun that came with a bullet-powered cloaking field, and a machine gun that featured a rotating blade grinder head attachment for close combat.
They should have named the game PURFIKKT GUNZZZZ!!!! and been somewhat more honest about the less-than-grown-up target audience.
"Mature audience." Pah.

Don't forget about Outpost, which was supposed to be like SimCity in space. The game was missing many of the features mentioned in the manual and on the box and was basically unplayable.
Edited to add that I wrote this before I saw that there's a thread about this game already, and I was dumb enough to actually buy the game when it came out!

Perfect Dark is HARDLY the "worst game ever"!!!!
I'd have to with The Sims. Ugh.
