Golden Axe: Beast Rider on 360, I thought it would be entertaining for a few hours....oh how wrong I was.
Worst game you actually played through and finished

For me it would have to be Quest 64. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quest_64 This was one of the few rpgs the N64 had for it. In it you played as an apprentice mage whose on a quest to find his father who disappeared. however, the studio that made this game seems to have no concept whatsoever of what a mage is supposed to be.
When you think of mage in rpgs. You imagine a guy perhaps with a staff and pointy hat, who can't take a lot of damage, generally sucks at melee combat, and will generally die a lot unless he's protected. But he makes up for all that with the ability to cast powerful spells, that can do tons of damage and hit several enemies at the same time. You don't play as one of those types of mages in this game.
Oh no. Your guy is a kid armed with a stick that can cast spells or whack enemies with his stick. Seems about normal, except the developers for some reason [HEADING=1]Decided to make the staff attacks the most damaging attacks in the game[/HEADING].
In other words your spells were useless. They were not as effective as whacking guys with your staff. Oh but it gets better the only way you could upgrade your spells was by finding these little crystal spirit things. Not leveling up not buying or learning new spells from characters. No. Finding little crystal things. Which didn't matter because no matter how many you found, your spells would still do less damage than your F#$ing staff!!!
The final boss fight against a giant demon ended up being whacking him with your staff running away to heal and whacking him with your staff some more. Did i mention you could take several punches in the face from a giant demon despite only wearing a robe?
[HEADING=1]MAGES ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE RUNNING AROUND WHACKING THINGS WITH STICKS. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO CAST BIG POWERFUL SPELLS!!! OTHERWISE THEY'D BE WARRIOR-MAGES!!! IF THEY'RE WARRIOR-MAGES THEY WOULDN'T BE USING STAFFS THEY'D BE USING SWORDS, AND MACES AND BE WEARING ARMOR!!!!!!![/HEADING]

I never finished Mirror's Edge or Hellgate: London, and I don't tend to BUY bad games (except thanks to the Steam sale, thanks Steam!) I'd have to say Earl Weaver Baseball 2, though obviously 'completed' is a little bit of a stretch. I did totally play a few complete games though.
I agree.CDog2910 said:
OT: my worst game I ever actually finished was Musashi: Samurai Warrior. Horrible voice acting. The main character sounded like Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. There was only one feature that slightly redeemed the game. And the was the Mr. Miyagi style Kung-fu cat sensei.
Hey! I played that game too, only on Gameboy Color. Such simple gameplay, yet so annoying. Especially the "stealth" parts. One highlight: you can use a gun to shoot whole pizzas at anybody.Of-the-Lion said:
Bionicle on PC was also pretty bad. Maybe all lego games are doomed to be dull games.
and there was a glitch when I played it that didn't allow me to finish a mission so the game HAD to remain unbeaten. Even the game didn't want to be played to conclusion.sinclose said:
Superman Returns on the PS2. I had such high hopes for a Superman version of Spiderman 2. It was sooooo dull and drawn out unlike any game I have played before or since. The fights are beyond repetitive, and it takes ages to finish. If you've played it you know how padded that game was.
Medal of Honor, Vangaurd. I got it for a friend back when I still blind-bought stuff, and since his mom was appaled by the aproximatly .02 seconds of blood I ended up getting it back. Oh my god. I would have traded it in for a nickel at Gamestop except that it's the only shooter on the Wii with splitscreen that I own.
Killzone 2, I love shooters but I HATED this game. I HATED it so badly, the way you moved, threw grenades, the guns, the enemies. I tried to finish it, I made it to the end and sold it. I was so pissed that I had spent the money on the game. I know people liked it but I couldn't stand it! *pulls hair out...of a plush* ARgggh
Ugh, not only did I finish this, I bought the damn DLC, thinking, "Maybe this will make it better..."Frenger said:
It didn't.
hmmm...i think that would have to be super mario galaxy.. i know it was ok but too damn repetitive and boring and easy hope they fix that for the sequel i may actually think of getting it.
why dont they remake super mario 64 with better graphics and not on ds that game was amazing!
