Worst game ever?

Barbie Horse Adventures: Wild Horse Rescue.
By the way, Vivendi, selling this game 10 dollars less than average cost isn't going to make people other than rich spoiled girls that have Xbox's and mentally retarded 80-year-old men buy this game.

Atari 2600 - Night Driver. I worked my a$$ of for this game at $3.64/hour and it really sucked. So I KNOW we've come a long way baby with Motorstorm, I really, really enjoy most driver games now...hehe

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Fight Club on the Xbox, a rather misguided birthday present from my "best friend". Stack it next to DOA3 and it's a shite omelette of a game. The fighting is slow and clunky, you can't interact with the arena's, the story is loosely based on the film but that couldn't save it and the big "X-ray vision bone breaking feature thing" was a waste of time because for some god unknown reason there was only ONE move that did it! At least he kept the receipt!

I may get lynched here but Eternal Darkness annoyed me no end. I played that game for hours and hours only to get stuck because I had somehow missed a rune that was crucial to complete the level. After backtracking I learn that the rune isn't even on the same level so I can't go further! Epic fail.

Tomb Raider - Angel Of Darkness, I'd get really far both times I played it only for the game to monumentally crash when I tried to go through the same door on both saves. That was crap.

I know I said SHaq Fu earlier, but on deep reflection, Enter the Matrix. First off, what is the point of a Matrix game without kicking ass as Neo?! Second, why does a console game have game-stopping crashes? Gah, the most fun I had with the game was in the hacking section.

I'm going to pitch Capitalism on the pile, it was some random economic simulator back in the mid-90s, but the problem was you needed a degree in biz management to play it.

Horrifically enough I did actually play ET, but, I've blanked most of the experience from my mind.

I'd also list Neverend if it didn't start off with such a neat-ish concept and then degenerate into boredom in short order...

SLAMSCAPE! OMFG! SLAMSCAPE. Im sorry for yelling but i saw this topic like 7 this morning at work and knew what game was the worst for me, but couldnt remember the name! 12 hours of research later i found the name. I tried to repress it for all these years. Played it on the PS1 in '96.

When I consider the worst game out there, I'm rather limited. First, I tend to only pass judgment on games I've actually played. Second, I'm very forgiving in terms of hardware limitations (which gives a lot of abominable games a free pass just for being old). With that in mind, my worst experience was Batman Forever on SNES. The controls bordered on being outright broken, the gameplay consisted of constantly mashing the punch button (I think there was a kick button if you got bored), and the manual outright lied about how to perform special moves. Try to throw a batarang, swing into the enemy. Try to swing into the enemy, toss a grenade. And since you had about a dozen special moves this got pretty confusing. So you resorted to constantly punching. Reading through this thread I start to wonder if some developers really have a "quality assurance" department or if they're just screwing with us.

Milos secret castle for the NES.... its the worst one ive ever played...

 

[CommanderCool]

Empire Earth 3. SEVERE disappointment!

Finding Nemo - You will have more fun watching a rock expand due to the sun causing heat expansion.

 

[heybrahsupbrah]

Personally, i have to say, Trolls on adventure island was one of the worst games EVAR!

 

[Starke]

ET was simple it was just impossible, you had to collect three or four pieces of random garbage and combine them to make a starphone or some such trype. Anyway, you would find these things, get captured, and loose them, and, I'm pretty sure it wasn't actually possible to finish since the pieces had to be picked up in a specific order, or something. Anyway, I forget what the dots did and don't particularly care.

Yeah, I'm going to have to go with Battlecruiser 3000. I played it for all of ten minutes and then it went back in the box, never to return. Probably the smartest move I made with that game

I'm going to throw my hat in the ring and say Kings Quest Six Heir Today Gone Tomorrow

The game had you play as Prince Alexander of Daventry. Great character, awesome story, beautiful development...but..

if you forgot an item at the very beginning of the game (one that wasn't an obvious "pick me up because you need me") You were fucked for the rest of the game.

At one point you're required to ward off a minotaur, but you need a something red and wavy to do it with. The only red wavy thing available to you is a scarf from Chessboard land, and that was one screen past a useful place that you wouldn't even bother to go to.

On top of that, I'd like to say that Bay Bay's Kids for the SNES was a pile of dung. It was based off of the cartoon that aired on Comedy Central for like...three months or something like that.

 

[Fadills]

I'll have to say Lord of the Rings: The Third Age.

Sure it's LotR, but its a redheaded stepchild of Final Fantasy with the TBC system

I think you mean Bebe's Kids. The one with the two African-American kids in the amusement park beating up the security guards and the one with the infamous "House of Glass"?
