There's a GBA game I have that I LOATHE. Bionicle: Matoran Adventures. I think my grandma got it for me as a gift, since I was into bionicle (a lego offshoot with masked alien things) at the time, and it was only about 20 bucks.
....I beat it in about 3 days, and it was TERRIBLE. The controls were awful and loose, the level design was meh, and the levels became REDICULOUSLY long by the end. And a lot of the balance was crap too. To kill certain enemies, you'd either need to camp out of their range, and try to hit them in their few vulnerable frames, or find this other guy in the level, find a power orb, and then CHARGE IT UP to do an area attack to kill them (which is also LITERALLY the only attack the secondary characters have). Not to mention levels where you HAD to go find hidden objects to open doors. >_<
Also, the unlockable characters were a JOKE. They are all literally the exact same character, but with different colors. They literally didn't even change the masks of the characters, and the masks are like...the most iconic thing about the bionicle characters! And yet, they just shamelessly copy pasted the same sprites, with the same "fire" mask, regardless of whether or not that character was a fire element guy or not. >_<
There was LITERALLY only one good thing about the game. The music was phenomenal. But aside from that, it was an atrocity of game design.
EDIT: Here is gameplay of the last level, just to illustrate my point:
