Activision spent way too much time and money building up hype for what ultimately turned out to be a rather lacklustre game, despite being created by Bungie, the same team that made the monolithic "Halo" series. Though it had music from the legendary Paul McCartney and a guest performance by the only-slightly-less-legendary Peter Dinklage, the game's lack of story and world exposition was widely criticized, along with some mechanical flaws. The title still gleaned good sales based off the strength of Bungie's name alone.
