The Absolute Worst XBox 360 Game???

[thenoblitt]

alot of the xbla games are crap

Fracture. A good idea shaping the terrain, but the story, action and characters were just boring.

I stay away from anything that looks remotely average. I'm really picky and spoiled with games.. I only tend to play games like in the 4/5 or 7/10 kinda category. That way keeps me away from disappointment and soul-crushing depression of the kinda crap people come up with

Perhaps you need to read up on the system a bit.

WARNING: Link is TV Tropes. Do not click if bored or easily distracted.

Ahh...
So bored and easily distracted...
Put the warning first next time, yeah?

OT: Uhhh...
I'd have to say...
That I've played...
GTA4 has been the absolute worst game I've played.
Even my obsessive compulsive achievement whoriness couldn't push past the fact that the game was painful to play.

Prince of Persia. (also on the PS3)

Not only was it overly hyped and didn't live up to it's expectations. Not only was the combat boring and only have 7 different enemies (1 of which could have been completely avoided). Not only were the special abilities annoying and only have 4 variations, 3 of which were practically the same thing but from different angles. Not only did the story go nowhere but the ending made the entire game a waste of time.

The worst (and funniest) part about Prince of Persia this console generation is this: Ubisoft has decided to make a new Prince of Persia game, set in the Sands of Time Universe. This means that even Ubisoft has decided that the "New" Prince of Persia was horrible.

but then again, there were the Burger King games...

I dunno...I really like that game. Yeah, it had its share of gameplay issues, but I can be a sucker for amazing art styles and am also probably the only one who loved the ending. It just caught me by surprise -

Spoiler

It was a complete reversal of his character. He tried to use logic all throughout the game to defend his arguments, but contrary to his previous actions, he considered her worth saving in spite of all the problems it would cause.

I would actually like to see more games in that storyline.

I loved that game too, and I really hope they continue the franchise.

Too Human, one of the things I agree with Yahtzee on comepletely.

Dead or alive Xtreme 2
I defy anyone to enjoy this garbage.

Give it to a 14 year old boy (a.k.a the majority of the Halo fanbase) and i guarantee they'll prob love it. ;P

Did you know that they actually ported... I mean made a sequel (with all the same cutscenses, girls, and half the content) for the PSP called DoA: Paradice? You thought Xtreme 2 was bad, try playing the same game with half the game and pixel count on a device intended to be played in public.

I did know that, just watched a video review on GT about it. Worst part is there are probably people that went out and bought it as soon as they heard it was released. I mean the girls are hot but still, come on.

O.O
Lots of people bought it?
Man... remind me never to sit next to a person with a PSP in any kind of public transportation ever again...

Not saying they did but I wouldn't be surprised.

Forced characterization is a real weak point for that game series (which is bizarre as they keep using it.) At least Saint's Row 2 had the right idea to make the main character a complete sociopath inside cutscenes assuming the player's typical actions would follow suite. It clashes when Niko is torn over killing one stranger when he drove over thirty on his way to the mission.

The game play was still rather strong, though the visual aesthetics could have used a boost. It's harder to understand why games pushing for realism are so constantly dark and drab when real life is full of such vibrancy.

probaly far cry 2, worst i've played anyway

 

[loooooowwww]

ERAGON THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GRRRRRR.....

The book was good, the movie based on the book was bad, the game based on the movie was puke-inducingly awful. Made worse by the fact that my dad got it for me for Christmas, so I felt obligated to play it for at least three hours. I still don't know how I did it.

I disagree the first book was bad it just had potential and because of some divine intervention that potential actually came through in the second book, and the third book is awesome but the first book was him just traveling to different places... and as for the movie *twitches in rage* it was an absolute piece of shit, I especially loved how the ending stayed so true to the book as far as the game is concerned I would rather watch paint dry than ever play it, you have my heart felt sympathy

I'm pickier, I only play 8.5/10 and 4/5 games.

Mine has to be Too Human. i was looking forward to this 10 years (approx) in the making from Silicon Knights, but what i got was a broken, poor looking piece of crap. the story was dull and confusing the gameplay dull and repeating and unskippable long death animations. i hate this game and lost all faith in Silicon Knights.

Sonic 06.


*shudder*

 

[Super_Nintendo_Chalmers]

*cough* Fable II. *cough*

 

[Dark Knifer]

Ninety nine nights for me. I actually bothered to get to the last boss and he is, litterally, impossible to kill, unless I had a week to spare. The amount of health he had was biblical, and he attacks lightning fast and kills you in two hits...

 

[OMGMOO]

I dont own an Xbox 360, however, my Gamer Points whoring friend informs me that he couldn't even play Vivi Pinata for a few measly hours to get at least some of the achievements.

 

[Grimplewurst]

Worst games I've seen so far are: The Darkness, Turok and The Sabatour.

The darkness for it's horrible controls, story, video... Everything.

Turok for once again confirming why money makers can't resurrect good ideas.

And The Sabatour for just plain being terrible, and trying to be GTA.
