Worst/Buggiest games of 2008 (errors,bugs,lag,general lack of support/fixes)

The most noticably buggy games for me were Fable 2(graphical and quest glitches) and Tomb Raider Underworld(Getting snagged on the environment).

Far Cry 2, bug when there wouldn’t be any one at the briefing point so you couldn’t continue with the game
 
prince of persia i find to be very buggy, the map dissapeared on me a couple of times,i just kept falling and the lass with me kept saving me but put me right into same spot i was falling from,so was stuck in a loop,only way out was to teleport
 
Mercenaries Two.

More bugs than a Bug's Life.

Randomly exploding.
Co op partner dying and being in a different place to their body.
Being stuck inside trees.
Cars and people falling out of the sky in the middle of nowhere.
Big bit in the middle of the map that you cannot actually go to once you have completed the game (although if you are the client in a co op game you can get to land but then you get insta killed)
Winching anything the vehicle flips up, smashes into your helicopter and explodes.

There is a lot more...
 
gow2 fighting the sea monster on insane, would constantly get snagged by the boxs on the raft and not be able to move in time, or once I was completley stuck at the bottom of the raft, all i could do was wait for the creature to eat me:( that boss was infuriating!
 
I never had many troubles with Fable 2 or GoW2. Online taking a bit long to load or clipping errors were the worst of it.

But the prize has to goto Ninja Gaiden 2. Was an okayish game for release, certainly playable with a couple of bosses glitching on occasion. But the first patch they release to come with extra missions content broke the game to bits. Most cutscenes would crash before they completed meaning you have to skip them all. Untill you make your way to a cutscene in chapter 14 which just tanks yours xbox straight out meaning without clearing the hard drive cache it's impossible to finish the game past that point, wiping the cache would also mean when you do complete it without the patch you're unable to upload any scores. Promptly fixed nearly two to three weeks later... that's what you get for firing the entire development team after they finish the game.
 
Wipeout Pulse gets my vote. First race I played with the Harimau (DLC) it crashed the PSP :eek:. From then on it would crash every 5-8 races, a right pain in the arse considering there were 290 races.

EDIT: yeah, sorry it isn't from 2008 but it's the buggiest game I've played. I've never seen a game crash (totally lock up and force the PSP to switch off) on a console before.
 
Saints Row 2 co-op had a load of them.

If you tired to grab the same person as the other player, one of you will fire off at full speed in the direction the other was looking. Be it into a wall or off a bridge/high point.
 
Never had many problems with Fable 2, just a bit of frame-rate troubles here and there, but that isn't a bug really is it?

I agree with Mercenaries 2, got to be one of the buggiest games of the year. Getting stuck in things all the time, things exploding for no reason, objects and vehicles falling from the sky, clipping, etc.
 
Only game this year that I think I could really moan about for bugs would be Tomb Raider Underworld.

- Animation Loop bugs, both on Lara and creatures.
- Wall clipping.
- Falling off ledges for no reason.
- Loading up a save leaves you in some totally different location.
- Controls not very solid.
