For me its Assassins Creed 2, Mass Effect 1 and Fable 2.
I felt like Assassins Creed 2 was basically the same as the first but in a different environment. You still need to go through idiotic guards to get to your target and no matter what you'll never be able to pull off an assassination perfectly without the whole city knowing where you are. It did add some things like the tomb (catacombs) raiding but after completing most of those I didn't feel like even bothering with the game.
Mass Effect. I got this game before all the hype and everything. I actually bought it for like $15 somewhere because it wasn't well known or anything. Well the game isn't THAT good. Heck I even saw it voted for in the best game of the decade thread. The story was ok, good maybe, some of the characters were useless (Ashley and Kaiden could essentially do what everyone else could do but better) and the animations during dialogue were awkward. Don't get me wrong though, the game was pretty nice and choosing your own dialogue was cool but the game deserves at most a 9 if not just below it.
Fable 2. Everything that made the first game great was taken away. Less spells, no mana bar, no difficulty, no armor, no boss battle but SOMEHOW, I hear people say its a really good game. I personally did not find the game very interesting. I finished the game just for the sake of it (in about 4 hours on my 1st playthrough) and never touched it again. I didn't get the third because I knew it would just be another step backward for Fable and I guess I was right.
