Just as it says on the tin. What kind of games do you guys hate, that seem to be uber popular with everyone else?
For example. I went and bought Street Fighter 4 on the 360 today. I was utterly disappointed with it. The graphics are absolutely stunning, the presentation is really slick overall and the menu's the sound effects, the voice acting, the entire package is really neat, tidy, and impressive. However, somebody forgot to tell Capcom that it's not the early nineties and we kind of expect a little bit more than a graphical update to street fighter alpha, well, by "we" I mean me. There are about 10 moves to master with each character, and you can't even go in any direction other than backwards, forwards, jump and crouch. Games have moved on since 1992 and I expected to at least have some interactive scenery, or the ability to go around your opponent instead of jump, crouch, forward, back.
I know that this is what SF has always been about but if you keep on releasing the same game with different graphics then the only word I can think of is stale. I paid £30 for a game that is essentially more than a decade old with some updated graphics. I haven't disliked a game this much since Halo 3. But that's a different post entirely.
So what are your thought on games that the mainstream love, but that you hate?

Mucho repetition in gameplay on each "level"
