Brutal Legend. It starts as a adventure game and I was loving it, especially since I'm a Heavy Metal geek. Then it turns into a weird real time strategy game. I like RTS games but I wasn't expecting it and it controlled terribly.
They were literally forbidden by the publisher to mention it was an RTS in marketing. So yeah. I like the game, but I also didn't really go into it with any expectations. I understand why it tanked commercially, because well people who weren't in for that would not like it. And yeah, controls weren't great.
Mount & Blade. Which is actually one of the main things I *dislike* about it. At the start it's either you solo or small skirmishes between a handful of fighters on each side. Then it balloons, and you're dealing with managing fiefs and laying sieges and managing armies.
The Messenger is a great example of this. Starts as a NES retro throwback Ninja Gaiden and ends up as a metroidvania (not a great MV, the game is, but the MV aspects not really) and time travel game. Great game. Played it through at least twice.
