Lands of Lore III and Legend of Kyrandia 3.
A Westwood double whammy of disappointment.
Now, these weren't "hyped" in the modern use of the term, but I personally was pretty damn amped about them. While clearly and amiably trying to innovate, they went forth a bit too briskly, and really seemed to lose their touch with point-n-click and first-person dungeon drawling as game genres in particular, and with whimsical fantasy as a story setting in general.
For SLIGHTLY more contemporary hyped games, I'd probably single out Starfox Adventures.
That just ended up being a dumb, bad game all around, in spite of how beautiful the art and music was.
I followed it closely from first reveal, through the controversial GameCube transition and StarFox make-over, to the weirdly pointless game it became in the end.
Special mentions goe out to Skyward Sword, Dungeon Keeper 2, Starcraft 2, and both Metroid Other M and Metroid Prime 3.
