Games with cool settings but were poorly made?

I have been looking for a good  Clonial  era game and i can not find one . The Clonial ear has so much potential.
 
Imperial glory is alright but to slow and with no clonies or real objectives.
and the battle view sux cock.
 
Dont like the civliseation games. They are too slow paced.
 
total war empire is full of bugs so i am not even going to try it.
 
There are a lot cool eras or settings that have been tried but ended up shit.
Do you now any more eras or setings that just fell short of the mark?

I would say Age Of Conan when it was first released, had some very awesome and beautiful settings, but I hear the game has improved a ton.

STALKER
Evil Genius
Red Alert 3
X3
DarkStar One
Mirrors Edge
...

"Clonial ear." Dude, you got to improve your spelling and grammar for people to understand what you are saying. Because you said "civ" I am assuming you meant colonial right? In that sense, I do agree with you because there have been many disappointments in that genre. Still, there are some people who adore the Civ games (I am not one of them; I am more impartial on it) so they will disagree with you. 
 
I wish we could see more Wild West games, even if the ones so far are pretty good (Gun and Call of Juarez). I got to agree with Ahmad_Metallic though with this one:

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has a fantastic setting/atmosphere, but the game was hard as balls and not engaging. Civ is amazing I personally love the game.

I wouldn't say STALKER was poorly made, the devs just took a bite bigger than they could chew. But STLAKER is still an excellent example of atmosphere.

how so? o_O "

Wild west Theme .
Gun Bid Disapiontment. Though the gameplay was awesome.

Lol. These are the kind of posts I was talking about a few days ago.

Hellgate: London

Evergrace. Cool world, interesting atmosphere, interesting premise, but they dropped the ball hard on that game. It could have been something really special. It COULD have...

Prototype sounded good, but ended up not so good and could have been made better...

You complete it once then its boring as paper

LOTR Conquest?

" Damnation all the way "

This just screams The Conduit. It had tons of potential considering what it was, yet it failed. Badly.

" As much as I like Half Life 2, the first half of the game before you get out of C17 was the best set piece. I really liked the whole surveillance state sorta feel they evoked. The rest of it, as much as it is fun just didnt give off the same feel as the beginning. "

Yeah I liked it when I was just walking around with no weapons and running away, then it just got more and more boring.  Maybe that's why I liked Mirror's Edge... "

You know, everyone I know who has Mirrors Edge loved it, is it worth the buy? "

I have to say Mercenaries 2. It was a good setting, but a poorly made game.

I agree with Mirrors edge. It could have been as good as the likes of Fallout 3 and Gears 2 when it was released but about halfway through I really disliked it and it never got as good as it should have been.

I'd say Too Human.
