Burnout 3...you must be kidding...

Out of all the MASSIVE piles of crap out there, you picked a game that ANYONE can see is at least very well made (even if it's not to your taste).

tsk

yeah I know.

reminds me of that seinfeld episode where he returns a jacket, and when asked why, he answers "out of spite".
 
yeah you get these people, who will name games like Halo 2 etc as the worst just to try and look hardcore etc...

"oh yeah, halo 2, worst game ever etc etc"

So this person is saying that Burnout 3 is WORSE then dennis the menace? Worse then Beat em and eat em? Worse then Trash it? Worse then atari karts? Worse then...oh you get my point.

mario's time machine wasnt too crash hot...
i had that and it was actually a good game. i mainly remember the surfing part. that was pretty cool and i went back and played it and it does have some educational value <8- P
"Shaq Fu or Primal Rage..."~hyperglide
you take that back! lol i own both of those. shaq fu had awful gameplay but so did michael jordan in the windy city. primal rage was just a good game all around. you could even interact with you enviornments, if you can remember you can bounch the little guys on the ground in some levels.


the worst game of all time was easily "Sewer Shark" or "Cobra Command" of sega CD which was probably the worst system i have ever purchased but it was worth it because it was the kind with the sega genesis attached at the side.
 
halo 2 wasnt very good. lasted me bout 3 hours before getting bored. nice graphics though but i didnt get to play online i played 2 player and me and my brother were laughing how overhyped and gay the game was.

Yakuza missions

Ya I had this one for about 2 days. I was amazed that EB games actually gave me credit for it when I traded it in.

And then there was this game called Gyromite. You got it with the NES if you got the deluxe set with the Robot "Robbie" dude. First the game is just extremely boring. All you do is climb ropes and avoid getting squashed by red and blue beams which you control with the other controller. So you actually needed to use both controls to play a game that could have easily been played with one. You couldn't jump and you had a time limit before the dynamite you were trying to diffuse blew up.

Now the reason game play was shared by two controls is because the "Robbie" was supposed to handle the opening and closing of the red and blue beams. This was such a ridiculously time consuming process that the game was not playable like this. Your Robbie buddy would pick up these gyroscopes and set them on an adapter that pushed down on the A & B buttons. Thus holding it down for a short time before the gyrscope lost momentum and fell off.

The problem with this system was that it took so long for the player to give the robot instructions to turn right, then open your hands, now lower, close your hands on the gyro, raise up, move left, lower, open your hands and release. By the time you actually got the gyro from the spinner to the adapter on the control it had pretty much lost it's momentum and would fall over within seconds of being set down.

Not very much fun for the extra $150 or so it cost. For years after this game had a resale value stated at $ 0.17.

No bugs. Just horrible game play, rotten graphics, boring action and repetetive levels. Though the robot buddy idea was neat, they sure didn't have the means to pull it off well.
 
Erm... "Daley Thompsons Decathlon" and "Ian Botham's Cricket" originally for the old 8-bit computers that we used to have in those days, before most of you lot were born probably.

God I feel old.
 
Tomb Raider:Angel of Darkness

Spasticated camera,crappy controls and a framerate that almost made me vomit

Some game with a mosquito that my brother rented from a store, was the worst game I've ever played.

Oh my God, Mister Mosquito?! I have that game, and I love it. At least with an ARMAX anyways--it gets hard after level 5.

My vote for worst games are Simpsons Road Rage (PS2) and Crazy Taxi (PS2). Road Rage has some sort of bug where the cars speed up and slow down. Speed up and slow down... even though the X button is pressed all the way down. And Crazy Taxi's sountrack gets all wonky during the game. Most of the time it just stops totally or starts at the middle of the songs.

(By the way, whoever chooses the word "gay" to criticize anything should stop using it. It's quite irritating to say the least).
 
The worst that I have personally played, here they are:

Star Wars Battlefront
- people may disagree with me, but I thought it was absolutely horrid. It tried to be like BF1942, but the maps were too small for the flying, and there was no tactic involved in the game. It was all just point and shoot. In other online games like Call of Duty and Battlefield, you can you know, *duck* or do something like that, use a tactic. From what it seemed to me, Battlefront was just a repetitious point and shoot.

Enter the Matrix
- I'm not really sure why it's so bad, but I'll tell you one thing. I must've installed this thing around 4 or 5 times thinking each time "this time I'll give it a try". Every single time, I've ended up unninstalling it within 5 minutes.

Driv3r (driver 3)
- very very bad. Graphics were good, but cars handled weird (I can over this), but the walking and shooting had very bad controls. But mainly, the worst thing is that even if you're driving around, like in GTA, it seemed to me like the environments were all exactly the same, there was no variation in location. Very boring.

Dragonball GT something (Final Bound or something) for PS1
- I downloaded this game to play on emulator on PC (wasn't gonna pay $150 for a copy on ebay and I didn't have a PS1 anyway, so I needed a burned copy). Anyway, this game was pretty bad. The controls were awful.

Cars handled weird? !"#@&#163; no! On foot sucked thought.
D3 isn't a GTA rip off, not even close, it was just a sequel to Driver 2 with on foot and guns/shooting included.
Glitches/bugs doesn't matter, they're fun =)

Driver Parallel Lines - The biggest GTA rip off a game can ever come. Everything sucked.
Atari promised they would go back to Driver's roots, bulls..., they went GTA Beta.

i played top spin tennis today. it is soooo boring are all tennis games like this?

Top Spin on Xbox was fairly competitive live.

Colony Wars for the PSX. The only point to the game was not to return friendly fire, that & not falling into the sun.
 
There is no way that Star Wars:Battlefront is a bad game. Well..I could see where you are coming from if you played it on the Xbox because ninety percent of those games are shooters...but on the PS2 Battlefront 1 and 2 kick ass.
 
rocket knight adventures for the genesis

JGTC all japan championship for the PS

sonic heroes (mostly because of dissapointment)

enthusia, test drive 6...

i think that´s it for now...
 
Test Drive 6 is nowhere near one of the worst games ever, but it is a serious letdown from Test Drive 5. And I'm definitely refuting Ridge Racer Type 4, I think that's a pretty good arcadish game, although the stories can be a little annoying.

Personally...I don't know, I haven't really played that many awful games...NASCAR 2000 was pretty funky. Oh, I got one...any Olympics game. Holy crap, what garbage.
 
One of the worst games I have is Jeopardy! for the PS2. (Don't ask why I got it.) Most of the time, the AI beats the crap out of you. After one game of Jeopardy!, I had $3600, my brother had $8000, and the AI dude got $24000 :grumpy:. This game totally asks questions based on anything below 2003, and questions are repetitive. 👎
 
-Any Ridge Racer game, especially Ridge Racer 64

-Mario's Missing

-Ford Racing

JGTC all japan championship for the PS

I remember that game...I don't recall it being that bad. I think I even liked it. This was 8 or so years ago, though...
