Most disappointing game.
I did a search for "disappointing" and "letdown", no luck. Close/merge if needed.Now this is just for games that are disappointing, not necessarily bad, but just disappointed you.
I say Assassin's Creed and Superman Returns. AC was hyped up to be the biggest game of the year, but once I played it, I was bored to death before the first target. And Superman got delayed for 6 F'N months and the almighty EA still couldnt make even a half playable game.
World of Warcraft, the plot went to hell for the sake of some extra money. Basically, they sold out IMO
Battle for Middle Earth II, promised us things it simply did not deliver. Was a total letdown compared to what i was expecting.
Any of the Abe's Oddysee sequals
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, so rigged with bugs then had to re-released as GRAW 2.
That's it.....for now

Given EA's track record, i was excited about hearing that they were helming Superman. Other than the flying, there was no point in playing this game. I agree, it was monumentally disappointing
Assassin's Creed, for being a genuinely bad game in so many huge ways when it could have been astounding as a whole if more work went into the fundamentals and basics instead of the animations and graphics.
FFXII, for lacking that emotional center that the great FF game's are known for, also for lacking well developed, interesting characters that feel organically important in context to the adventure as a whole.
FFVIII, for the same reasons as FFXII but also because the draw system was atrocious, the reliance on GF's were annoying and forced the player to watch too many summon animations, and the romantic relationship between Squall and Rinoa felt contrived to work because of convenience, and not because the characters really connected.
Gears of War, I love this game very much, but the story is what disappointed me. I was very excited about the plot, and thought that the world would have a very interesting back story. Though, the plot itself was barebones and generic, barely working on a level beyond simply moving you from point A to point B and so on.

Yes.
The lore they created for the world is actually quite in depth and interesting, there's a lot of backstory that you can find if you look through online sources.
Though, you wouldn't know it from playing the game, it's as barebones a story as I've ever seen, and that's what was disappointing.
Also, as RR says, they just didn't explain very much.
For instance, did you know that Gen. Ramm is, according to the lore, the one who killed Fenix's father? This could have been an excellent plot device, and driven the story further beyond "Okay, go kill Ramm", but this was never even hinted at during the actual game, which is a shame.

I actually thought Fenix was pissed because he killed that guy half way through the game.
