What video games would you say had the most misleading trailers and advertisements and why?
Personally, I'd say Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts has to win out here. Aliens Colonial Marines? At least the gameplay in that had SOMETHING to do with what was eventually released. On the other hand...

Nuts and Bolts basically lied about what the game was in terms of gameplay and even genre, complete with at least one article that supposedly said it was a 3D platformer with vehicles as only a fairly 'minor' part of the game. That's got to be more dishonest than even releasing a half baked tech demo, right?
So what games do you think were promoted in incredibly misleading ways?
