The worst game you've ever played

[Leviathan Mist]

Basically, tell us what the worst game you've ever played is and why. You have to have played the game though. Just watching an AVGN review of it doesn't count. Also, this is about bad games ONLY - preferably games which are notorious for being bad. I'm trying to keep this thread within the rules and avoid flame wars.

That being said, the worst game I've had the misfortune of playing was Shaq-Fu for SNES. The game is plagued by god-awful controls and a concept/storyline which is just ridiculously stupid. Who thought it was a good idea to market Shaquille O'Neal in a fighting game with a bunch of half-assed characters? Also, don't forget to cover the game with Pepsi ads, because that was the thing back then. I think Nike has appearances as well. It's so bad, there's actually a website (http://www.shaqfu.com/) devoted to the collection and destruction of every Shaq-Fu cartridge in existence. I'm glad I got rid of this game, it's a steaming pile of sewage which should be buried in a 600 foot hole and never allowed to resurface.

Mario 64.... Don't ask why. I just hate it.

[Leviathan Mist]

Ah, I liked Mario 64, but it wasn't my favorite Mario game... the penguin level was awesome though :D

[Jubilee]

It is a platformer...

but you fall through boxes and such...

or you just get stuck somewhere random...

Mario 64.... Don't ask why. I just hate it.

Ummm why?

Lets see it would have to be.... Tales of phantasia on the GBA. Yes I hear it has a good story but the version on the GBA is broken as there is button lag and the battles move in slo-mo and makes it virtually unplayable.

Street Fighter IV. I'm sorry, but that game is downright horrible. .______.
4 hours to get to Seth and then the git just jumps around the stage left right and center. By 2am, I could no longer be bothered with the proclaimed 'Easy Mode' and got a refund the next day.... with which I bought Ratchet and Clank. All better now :3

I HATE HATE HATE THAT GAME TOO!

[Zehutsumei]

I can't really pinpoint the worst game, but the game I hated the most was Castlevania: Judgement. The game is nearly unplayable without a Classic Controller, the characters are heavily unbalanced, with Garland being able to teleport at a whim, the camera is completely useless, and since the artwork is done by Death Note artist Takeshi Obata, the characters look nothing like their original selves with Maria looking like an underage Misa and Simon Belmont looking like Light Yagami in black leather.

the worst game of all time is VAMPIRE RAIN . . . . . u have to be mad stealthy to avoid the vampires but there is a part where u cant and they know exactly were u are u have no chance to kill em at all one hit and its all over what a joke

[grimdefeat]

big mother trucker 2: truck me harder

[Leviathan Mist]

I'm still trying to get my hands on a copy of Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing

I want to see what all the commotion is about.

I just watched a Youtube video of that. It looks hilarious! Don't think I could sit down and play it though, looks like it's good for just a few minutes of comic relief :P

If it had been "Worst Game You Watched", then I would have chose Two Worlds. That was purely awful. Seriously.. And, it's getting a sequel?? No thanks.

So we were talking in IRC about how tomorrow is September 11th, and I remembered seeing this video for one of the worst games ever made:

MGcE7IudRKE

Not sure which concept is worse, Bin Laden vs. USA or Super Columbine Massacre RPG. Both games are absolutely dreadful though.

Hmm....that is a hard one, it is something I never really think about. The only games that I consider bad are games that are really bland like Infinite Undiscovery. Though then again I did hate GTA IV....and that Crazy Clown game on the SNES....I also only played the demo for SOnic 06....t'was baaaaaad

I was having a hard time thinking of mine, but then you said Sonic '06, and I remember I played once for ten minutes during the midnight release for my DSi. I couldn't get past the first level because the controls were so crappy.

On a related note, my dad and I were watching a history of gaming thing on MSNBC one night. When they got to how E.T. almost destroyed the industry, my dad just shook his head and said, "That was such a bad game." My father has played the worst game in existence.

I've played E.T. on Atari, but since I was expecting the worst game ever made, I wasn't disappointed. I'd still go as far as to say for its time, Shaq Fu was a worse game than E.T.
