Whats the worst game you have ever played?
I'm sure we've all bought a game and realised it was the biggest waste of money.......
or is that just me?

either way whats the biggest excuse for a game you've come across.... on any platform..

a few contenders.... godzilla on ps2 (o god that ones bad)
chronicles of the sword on ps1.........

anyone else?

tman · 10-02-2005 11:03am

The Simpson's Wrestling on the good old ps1

Zombienosh · 10-02-2005 11:06am

The E.T. game on the gameboy

Unit00 · 10-02-2005 11:24am

I played afighting game called Rise of the Robots. Any platform I played it on it was terrible

Keyzer · 10-02-2005 11:25am

Got a lend of Driv3er off a mate, played it for 5 mins and turned it off.
Worst game I ever played.

Goodshape · 10-02-2005 11:28am

The Steven Segal game on the Mega Drive. Can't find a relevent link, or even remember the full name of the game; but it's fookin awful!

or maybe Shaq Fu on the same console.

Juan Pablo · 10-02-2005 11:42am

Vanna Whites Wheel of Fortune on the SNES. It really doesn't get any worse than that.

Goodshape · 10-02-2005 11:49am

Actually... just rememberd the Barbie games on either SNES or MegaDrive (got a big collection of roms from a friend). The game consisted of going for walks in the park and ****e like that. Far worse than you would think is possible.

The Bollox · 10-02-2005 11:49am

Freelancer on the PC, DEAR GOD! I played it for 5 mins and threw it straight in the bin! I mean WTF! there is absolutly nothing to do in it!

uberpixie · 10-02-2005 12:00pm

It's a toss up between swamp thing or pit fighter on the gameboy. nasty.

took me about 40 hours of play to get bored of it

a damn fine game imho

I think we have ourselves a winner. Awful awful game on the SNES, I can only imagine how shocking it must have been on the gameboy!

10-02-2005 12:24pm

Lord of the rings:return of the king
Movie cash in crap,EA games-i should have known better

Boro · 10-02-2005 12:56pm

Pit Fighter was pretty awful but i still played it.
Worst (absolutely!) game i played though has to be Daikatana. Especially after all the hype of 'the next biggest best game ever etc" that went on for the 2/3/10 years we were waiting for it for.

Cant agree - theres loads to do.

I agree with TMAN - best space sim so far.

i_am_dogboy · 10-02-2005 1:01pm

My vote goes to james pond: robocod on the c64, i nearly cried after the 30 minutes loading to be greeted by something so horrible, though to be completely honest i can't even remember the game itself.

Spalk0 · 10-02-2005 1:01pm

state of emergency!

Pile of **** really!Got bored in less than five minutes!

ViperVenoM · 10-02-2005 1:06pm

think ill agree with pit fighter!

jesus christ...

ambro25 · 10-02-2005 1:13pm

it would have to be the 'BreakOut' clone on this:

I've played a lot of games with a lot of platforms (from the CBS colecovision when new in shops :eek: ) over a lot of years (since '82 or '83, can't remember) and trust me, it does not and absolutely cannot come any worse than this:
zero control,
p1ss-poor contrast,
screen flickering (or is that fps issues

),
glitches even in the ball animation,
inconsistant scoring,
etc,
etc.

Absolute worst ever... ever-ever-ever-ever-ever-eeeeeeveeeuuuuur!!!

kinkstr · 10-02-2005 1:22pm

ROFL i used to have the "super-vision", what a mighty console it was, i remember the pains id get in my hands for the way it had to be held and trying to us the fookin D-pad was an absolute nightmare!
Apart from frame rate problems and other gaming glitches(which super vision should of brought out a patch

) i found that game quiet addictive

Deadwing · 10-02-2005 1:44pm

Night breed on the atari st was pants.
strider 2 aswell, just so arse clenchingly difficult i think i ended up smashing the disk. I agree with state of emergency too, thats was bloody awful.
Oni on the ps2 was pants, played it once, and it went straight back to the shop with it the next day

Retr0gamer · 10-02-2005 2:01pm

Pansy

Like the new sig

For me its Dark Castle on the Mega Drive. Its the only game I know of where you die from walking on small cracks in the ground. The stone throwing combat is dire as well. Back in the old days when EA made absolute dross (yes worse than now).

FFX-2: The only RPG I ever stopped playing because it was crap. I survived Legend of Dragoon but this was on another level.

proevmaster · 10-02-2005 2:06pm

FIFA 2002.

When I played it first I thought it was alright but was disapointed that I lost intrest in it so quickly. So I picked up Pro Ev 1 (my first one) and didnt play anythig else for 2 months solid.

Weeks later I was lookin to trade in some of my games (I think it was for MGS2) and I came across FIFA. I played it once and was shocked at how poor it was compared to pro ev. Needles to say I havn't bought the game since.

Is that really that bad? FFX was pretty good but I haven't had a chance to try X-2 yet

Brerrabbit · 10-02-2005 2:11pm

paperboy on the NES was God-awful also a boy and his blob on the gameboy.
Recently "Fire warrior" on the PC; absolute tripe. I was playing the first 10 minutes with a half grin on my face thinking it was a joke. The second ten minutes my face gradually dropped. The third ten minutes (and the 6 months since) it has spent in my bin.

wow!
i thought freelancer was a great game!

now X, that was boring, but far from the worst game i ever played.

i actually cant think of any games that were outstandingly bad, but there have been many disappointments like most of the lord of the rings games and star wars games. Blue shift for half Life 1 was really short and very disappointing.

of course, i could go all the way back to the zx spectrum for games, but i think thats a little unfair on a little 8bit machine

TwoShedsJackson · 10-02-2005 2:22pm

Master of Orion 3. Awesome buildup, sequel to one of the best games ever, my God was this a mind bendingly bad pile of ****e. AI that overrode all your decisions constantly, more spreadsheets than you could shake a stick at, and no aggression from the enemy whatsoever.

Utter crap.

arbeitsscheuer · 10-02-2005 2:36pm

Silent Hunter II.

Most.
Boring.
Game.
Ever.

Despite everything, all the developments in PC technology, game design etc, this game is still completely overshadowed by the old Das Boot DOS game from 1992 (I think, it might've been '93).

Das Boot was one of the first games I ever played, and was brilliant. Endlessly replayable. All they had to do was make an up-to-date version of it, and they came out with the abomination that is SHII.

B*STARDS.

Deadwing · 10-02-2005 2:40pm

oh god, another one i forgot about was shadows of the empire on the n64. Brilliant opening level, then it all went to hell with level 2 and stayed there for the rest of the game. Such a disappointment

Freelancer is one of the best of its type, space sims or what ever . I thought it was very good.

The worst game or at leat most disapointing was The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall/Arena played it for about 5 mins ,couldnt change the controls and kept getting stuck in walls ,put it on a shelf it still there today to remind me to read reviews first

gotta agree here... left dumbfounded at what Rockstar churned out, after the greatness that is GTA.

Oh, and Driv3er was pants too...

rainbow kirby · 10-02-2005 3:11pm

I really hated Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. I just found it so unbelievably boring in-game. Also Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex (PS2). My sister got it free with her PS2, and when she put it on I insisted that she took the disc back out because I was convinced she'd been given one of the PS1 games by mistake. Played myself for 10 minutes and was disgusted.
Funnily enough the PS2 got sold to buy a GameCube 2 months later...

Freelancer was good, while it lasted -- short and sweet.

Gonzo · 10-02-2005 3:24pm

Vortex on the SNES - 2nd game to use the fx chip after starfox, what a pile of crap it was.

Wipeout fusion - ps2 - I adored the wipeout games on the ps1 but this first ps2 outing had so much hype then when it was released it was such a dissapointment I was lost for words.

Mortal Kombat 3 - Ps1
loved the 2nd game on the snes so decided to get the 3rd game on the ps1, it was so bad I brought it back the next day and got my money back.

Yes it is. FFX was one of my favourite games ever. FFX-2 is a load of crap and a mockery of its prequel.

Yea it was a good game alright. Fairly good story, although the combat was very repetitive .

Worst (absolutely!) game i played though has to be Daikatana.

Got the demo CD, Installed it (****ing ages)... 2 mins configuring controls
3 minutes playing, Uninstall, defrag...

What a waste of ****ing effort

I know I said it was the worst game ever, but that's because it had the worst first level ever, and it took me years to get by it

Come on hurry up noob gamer, and finish BG&E, Kotor, Deus ex, Deus ex 2, Doom 3, mdk2, Prince of Persia 1 & 2, Warhammer, Vampire Bloodlines, COD United offensive, Chronicles of Riddick etc etc...

Praetorian · 10-02-2005 7:24pm

We're never going to finish Zelda four swords if you keep listening to your mother...

Ohh, and back on topic. The worst game ever is without a doubt (and I played it) is Viewtiful joe.

It's been mention already, but nevertheless;
Final fantasy X-2. I thought it would suck, but I didn't think it could suck so bad. Thankfully I just got a lend. It remains the only game so bad I threw the controller at the wall in frustration...during a flipping cutscene.

Worst Game You've Ever Played?
