Most Disappointing - Mirror's Edge

First, let me say that Mirror's Edge is not a horrible game. It isn't, it's actually an enjoyable game. But it's an enjoyable game that could and should have been a lot better. That's why Mirror's Edge has been awarded the most disappointing honors.

I really had high hopes for Mirror's Edge, especially after the praise that descended on the title post E3. It had that special something. But DICE just didn't follow through completely, didn't give it enough polish and made some poor gameplay decisions that made the game's constant restarts, annoying shootouts and lackluster plot give us a bad case of the "sighs." Mirror's Edge was good, but could have easily been super-duper-amazingly-fantastic. How very disappointing.
