Mass Effect 2 among many others (In alphabetical order: Alan Wake, God of War 3, Heavy Rain, Red Dead Redemption, Splinter Cell Conviction... probably more to be added soon).
The game took out most of what I liked about the first game. There was a huge lack of any actual exploration, no inventory system, non-impactful character interactions and story branches, and quite possibly the worst ending to a game in recent memory... well when I think about disappointing endings it's right there with Indigo Prophecy, Condemned, Halo 2/3 and Heavy Rain. Considering ME1 is my fav. game this gen and ME2 is the most hyped I've been for a game since... Halo/Half-Life 2... I've learned (at least for the next few years) not to get my hopes up about anything.
The game got a 9.1 from me solely on its technical merits. It is impressive for a UE3 game and a lot of polish went into it. It's a solid game, but it's not a 9.6 due to lack of an engaging story or atmosphere and seriously lacking on longetivity and replay value for an RPG.
