Games that had huge potential, but were squandered by devs/publishers?
Title says all.
For me, i would have to say WH40K : Space Marine. A good single player, interesting multiplayer (until the nerfed update). THQ practically ripped the little online community of this to shreds by the DLC's that ruined it all. |

Are we talking about bugs? Story? Missing content?

RAGE should have been a huge game because it's fantastic, but id dropped the ball when they ignored the PC market. Lesson learned, I say. And it's still a great game.

First one that comes to mind is Mafia II. Apparently it was originally a far more ambitious project but was scaled back for some reason.

Vexx. This title could have challenged Jak and Daxter, and Ratchet and Clank for platformer superiority. Some of the levels were fantastic. There's just lots of fine tuning that has yet to be done as well as a storyline that wasn't written in one night.

Spore was a hollow shell of its potential.
