10 Disappointing Video Games Which Lied To Get Your Money

9. Spore

One of the most overhyped video games of all time, Spore represents a tragedy in the lives of any PC gamer. Judging from pre-release material, it was to be by far the most epic, ambitious video game ever made.

In reality, it was a collection of underwhelming minigames.

Despite all the promises, Spore wasn't the transcendent experience many were hoping for. The journey of a single-celled organism working all the way up to advanced, space-faring civilizations wasn't quite handled in the miraculous manner that Maxis seemed to think. Spore might have been grand in scope, but its individual components were overly simple and not connected together in the manner that pre-release material suggested.
