Most hyped game that dissappointed ?

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.

If you name Westwood, then Command & Conquer: Tiberium Sun should not go unmentioned. The backlash it got was pretty hefty for not being up to the pre-release material and many promised features and effects missing.

But I also think we all have overlooked the king of overhyping: How come nobody has mentioned Peter Molyneux yet in this thread? Fable? Black & White? And his masterpiece in this regard, Godus? No wonder Guru Larry takes potshots at him in (almost) every episode.
