from Jeff from St. Louis, MO, www.circuitcity.com
i honestly believe it did not truly live up to its hype, but overall still was a great game.
from Jeff from St. Louis MO, www.circuitcity.com
in all fairness this game is great but doesn't fully live up to it's hype.
from BtheMan from, www.circuitcity.com
it leaves something to be desired after reading all of the hype leading up to its release
from from, www.circuitcity.com
if you didn't listen to all the hype and havn't followed fable up until it's release you will not be dissappointed, however if you are one of the many expecting so much from fable you may find it
from www.amazon.com
well this game on its own without all the hype is good,fun ,and good fighting aspect.but it comes up short in the rpg aspect.

Doom 3 Collector's Edition

$100.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
this game has aweinspired me eversince my friend got it on his hyped up computer it was so advanced my own computers could barly play a demo of the game this almost made me cry but then a blessing
from www.amazon.com
i really did believe the hype that this game was going to be the scariest thing i have experienced in video game playing, but i was wrong.
from www.amazon.com
hopefully, these issues are just due to the fact that i tried to play on-line on the day of the release and will eventually be fixed or reduced once the hype has died down a little.
from www.amazon.com
believe the hype folks!
from www.shopping.com
cons: doesn't live up to the hype.

Halo: Combat Evolved

$25.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.pcmall.com
by far the most engrossing and stunningly amazing game for the x-box system, creating on its own so much hype for its sequel that millions around the united states alone anticipate the sequel,
from www.pcmall.com
forget about the hype and rate this game for what it really is, the rare kind that lives up to more than the hype!
from shopping.yahoo.com
i bought this game with very high expectations because of previous reviews, but personally i believe it has met and broken all of my expectations, and for the hype it has gotten i had a lot of them
from www.amazon.com
how can a game survive with lots of hype since 2001, when it was realeased, and it was hyped even before...
from www.amazon.com
its true that this game has received way too much hype for what it really is.

Halo 2

$24.00 Est. at Amazon

from Mafian from New York, www.circuitcity.com
well i have to say that halo 2 is a good game, but it is a bit short, and it doesn't live to its hype, i think the only great thing is the online play.
from www.cduniverse.com
the problem is that the hype for this game was higher than any game in history, and couldent quite live up to even its own hype, yes it has minor problems (the ending, and some multiplayer glitches.)
from arstechnica
"halo 2 is an incredible game, and while not as strong as the hype and sales may suggest it truly is a triple a title worthy of your time and money if you have an xbox kicking around.
from ipfreely from bellingham wa, www.circuitcity.com
get me wrong its ok but its not all that and a bag of chips like they make sound like- i would say if your looking for a good fps try killzone for ps2 it is way better , with out all the hype
from Bull from Johnson City, TN, www.circuitcity.com
halo 2 was hyped sequel to say the least, but i feel it didn't live up to it.

Final Fight X: Streetwise

$17.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
with as much hype this game found upon its release, i thought that it could have had more depth to it.
from www.amazon.com
first off, i'm going to get it out in the open- this game was hyped too much.
from www.amazon.com
halo 2 was hyped as hell, if it wasn't the best game ever it would disappoint gamers, so bungie worked on it really hard for nearly three years.
from www.amazon.com
this game definatley lived up to its hype, and in my opion it passed that hype.
from www.amazon.com
it certainly falls short of all the hype and expectations of the last couple of years where some gaming publications said halo 2 would be the "greatest game ever".

BioShock for Xbox

from www.amazon.com
i found this game to be really fun and i though it lived up to most of its hype.
from www.amazon.com
from the look and atmosphere of the game to the intricate story he said it truly lived up to the hype of being one of those games that only comes along once-in-awhile.
from www.amazon.com
this game was very hyped and it definately lived up to that hype.
from www.amazon.com
all in all, this is a game you should play but that you should try out first, forgetting the hype bug that stings the wallet a little too severely sometimes.
from www.amazon.com
i can tell you right now, this game will not live up to the hype.

from shopping.yahoo.com
i've played final fantasy and a few others but the reviews and hype surrounding this game got my attention so i tried it out.
from shopping.yahoo.com
there role playing has received a lot of hype but most feel the game can live up to it.
from www.amazon.com
i am generally not a fan of the rpg genre, but i picked it up because of the hype, and i had yet to play a star wars game on xbox worthy of the title.
from www.amazon.com
then, it occurred to me that if halo lived up to its hype, maybe kotor would, too.

i was really hyped up about this game before it came out.
from www.amazon.com
all in all, the game will still hold your attention long enough until chaos theory is released, but it just didn't live up to the hype.

of course, they also hype the game in general, making me wonder how much i will like the on-line play.i could go on with more, but i think you get the gist of what i am saying.

even so, despite much of the recent hype surrounding it, it has more than its fair share of problems - not unlike the movie to which it's tied.
