Kane & Lynch: Dead Men.
The game just dripped with flavour, but needed some more polish on control. Love to see them take another shot at it.

Spore and Two-worlds had great potential.
Spore was butchered by EA, because they wanted anything that Will Wright craps out to be made of gold.
Two-Worlds got overshadowed by Oblivion, and people wouldn't accept it for what it was.

I agree with a lot of the previously mentioned games. Another one I wanna throw out is Just Cause. It didn't have "one or two" flaws, it had a LOT of flaws, but it just had one mechanic that, had it been placed in a more intuitive freeroaming world, would have sold the game to me at about $100 a playsession.
Basically, you get a retractable parachute and grappling hook. The parachute is more of a glider than a parachute, basically take it out when you have a lot of velocity in any direction, and you can use it to float horizontally over a whole forest. Then there's the grappling hook, which is pretty much useless on any solid objects but can easily connect you to any vehicle, and works simultaneously with the parachute. This results in hanggliding sessions with cars on the ground, and the ability to steal a helicopter just by jumping in and nailing the guy. Oh, and you can jump from a plane to another plane with a simple button press.
That game was then let down since the world it was based in was a bit retarded; all the world's police hate you no matter what, and there's waaaay too much forest, pretty much disabling car chases anywhere but the highway. Just with the featureset it had, I could think of about a hundred "OH! OH! Andyouknowwhatelsewouldbecool?" ideas.

I'm surprised that no one has said Devil May Cry 2 yet. Devil May Cry 2 was so done so bad compared Devil May Cry 1 and Devil May Cry 3, it almost made me cry. Capcom fix the story line and the lines for the characters, there's only one funny line in the game and that's "King huh? Here's your crown" and even that wasn't that great.
The demo WAS the game, or it was the cream of the game, I went into HMV and you could play the full game. Some wise-ass had got to like 4th level where there was a lot of armed guards...the combat sucked.ThePocketWeasel said:
If they sort the combat out & Possibly put in a race mode for ME2, i'd seriously consider buying it.
weird huh? and im a hardcore FPS player too, i guess all the super quick jumping and crap gave me in.traceur_ said:
Spore as y'all already mentioned
Dawn of War 2, dont get me wrong its great, I just wish there more multiplayer features, maps, etc and an Eldar campaign
And probably Dead Space, near the end they made you do painfully repetitive shit and making it last longer by making you have to run to one end of the hellish ship to find you need to go in 3 more massively different directions. Ugh, I have issues with that game.
