10 Disappointing Games That Tricked Us With Brilliant Trailers
9. The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct
This game should have been great, and there was good reason for the hype - after all, The Walking Dead is a huge franchise in basically every medium. So when a game was announced that would be a prequel to the show starring everyone's favourite character, Daryl Dixon, how could it possibly disappoint? Well, the answer to that one is massively, the story was lackluster, the game mechanics were clunky, the characters weren't relatable, and the AI was straight terrible. It also didn't help that Telltale's The Walking Dead came out of nowhere and gave us what is pretty much the best adaption of the comic book series so far. Instead The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct seemed to be a cash grab hoping to attract big fans of the show and the Daryl Dixon die-hards. But that first trailer definitely did boast a tiny glimmer of hope: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B0hBZeuDYM
