Post by: magnum12 on February 15, 2006, 08:22:02 pm: The worst games I've ever played. Interesting.
1. E.T.
2. Sonic Labyranth (mispelled but who cares with this terrible game.)
3. Mega Man 6. A terrible insult to the Mega Man franchise.

The cutscenes are the sex though.

If we're going for Sonic games it has to be Sonic 3D. I was really looking forward to X-treme and it was just a pisspoor replacement.

Post by: Aere Alouette on February 16, 2006, 02:57:04 pm: Here's a review I did once for a game (under an alias). Look at the review, and then tell me what the worst game I've ever played is.

Mario Is Missing!

Platforms: NES, SNES, Macintosh, PC-DOS

Category: 5th Grade World History Lesson (No, seriously...)

Publisher: Radical Entertainment (NES), Software Toolworks (SNES), Mindscape (Macintosh and PC-DOS)

Distributor: Mindscape (Are they sure it's not Mindscrape?)

Year: The PC-DOS Deluxe Version was released in 1992. All the others in 1993.

Notes:
The PC-DOS version is called the "Deluxe Version CD", despite the fact the game never was released before 1992.

This review was done with regards to the SNES version. References to the NES version may be made.

Goal:
Mario has been kidnapped by the King of Koopa Bowser (and already you can tell this game is unloyal to the series.) It is Luigi's job to destroy the entire name of Super Mario Games in a horrible flaming soul-consuming death errrrrrrr rescue his brother Mario and defeat Bowser.

Review:

Graphics: To describe the graphics to you, a potential customer to a old games store, we'll do this. You need to have played Super Mario World. Take the Ghost House graphics, the enemies, and a horribly disfigured Peach, and mercilessly splatter them onto this mediocre game. That is basically the graphics for the SNES. The graphics are nasty as nasty can get. Photoshop could have been their friend. The NES version stayed closed to the SMW engine for choosing stages, but got buried by the wayside.

Audio: The audio is a zombie. Basically it's dead and still trying to live on. The audio is so bad, a CD by Leonard Nimoy turned up to max volume will beat this game's music. Yes, some tracks are likable, but you'll end up throwing a Sepukku Knife into this game just for it to stop. Oddly enough, they reuse so many tracks that they butchered one to make it sound different. What a migrane.

Gameplay: The worst part of the game is it's horrendous gameplay. The cities contain Koopas along with the castle, but one thing...they can't kill you. That's right, they can't kill you. There goes one thing the Mario games stood for. The cities are pathetic. In fact, the MUSIC alone can tell you what city it is. The pedestrians (they are all the same. Good move designers) almost rap their clues to the city and make descriptions on the items so bad that you'll end up learning the meaning of the word "abhor" before you learn anything from this game. The ending just sucks. Also, there are classic Mario characters like Luigi, Bowser, Yoshi, and Mario, but Peach was scrapped and is now just a kiosk person. Despisable.

Lasting Impressions: This game is nasty and purely evil since this almost forces you to keep playing, just so the pain gets revived over and over again. You're better off playing with an old National Geographic Talking Globe.

Ratings:
Graphics: 1
Audio: 2
Gameplay: 1
Lasting Impressions: 1

The Verdict:
1/10 (The best way to get the feeling this game gives you without playing it is to go to the butchers and have them hack your nose off. The basic meaning I'm trying to convey is that this game is trash. Don't buy it and don't literally do the aforementioned nose thing.)

Summary:
The game is rare, but whatever you do please don't buy it. It's a travesty to the Super Mario Brothers name and the advertising team needs to think of something else other than the plumbers. As for the education, school is much better. Even more fun than this.

Post by: supergenesisman on February 16, 2006, 06:25:46 pm: I agree on mario is missing, what a shit ass game that was.....But the games i hate the most is those damn franchise games.It's always when a new movie comes out or something a gay little game comes out for it.Plus they suck so much it look's like they did it half ass, fucking retards that make those damn games should go die in a hole. *starts beating the hell out of the creators of those francise games*
Title: The worst of the worst games you ever played
Post by: magnum12 on February 16, 2006, 08:30:53 pm: Games based on movies, toys, cartoons, etc tend to be utter garbage 90% of the time. What's worse is that these games tend to sell really well at the expense of some less well known game that's absolutely great (Psychonauts for example). However, there are those few licensed games that are fantastic and must be in the collection of any gamer. Recent examples I can think of here are the Lord of the Rings brawlers that came out in 2002-2003, Marvel vs Capcom 2 (fun but poorly balanced), X-Men Legends, Astro Boy Omega Factor (hard to find GBA game that combines aspects of brawlers with Mega Man), and DBZ Budokai 3.

I'd beg to differ about the quality of Sonic 3D. I agree that, compared to what could have been Sonic X-treme, Sonic 3D was, as you say, "pisspoor". However, consider that the developers had pretty much less than a year to create a game of this scale, so only a genius could have made something decent in that timespan.

And where would we be without Sonic 3D's music? Anyone for Green Grove 1 or Panic Puppet 1? And Panic Puppet 2 has one of the best mission objectives EVER: shoot up Eggman's nose (albeit a statue of Eggman, but still, who can resist a crack joke?)

Not to mention it has some of the best graphics I've ever seen out of a Genesis game (anyone else seen a 2 1/2-D game on Genesis that's NOT an rpg?)

In short, just remember: they had ages to make SA2B and look what they did to it. If you had given the guys at Traveller's Tales more than a year to develop S3D, they would have turned it into a masterpiece. Instead, they gave us crap. Kind of like with Sonic R... *TEM listens to Panic Puppet 1 music and gets brutally murdered by the Tails Doll*

Post by: douglas on February 17, 2006, 03:36:54 am: I agree, for the timespan it was pretty good, and if it was marketed as a spin-off I wouldn't have been unhappy. But it wasn't; it was supposed to be the next biggie in the series, and it just didn't feel like a Sonic game.

I beg to differ. :( After reading up on Sonic X-treme one day, I feel in love with it and began to get Sega for cutting the cord on the game. The traliers I saw for it looked awesome and I really think 3D Blast sucked, well, compared to what X-treme could have been. X-treme could have been a pre-Adventure. Possibly...

Also, it's very harmful to your TSC reputation.

All infected persons must receive painful injections with oversized needles in their rears and orally take pills that size wise are for horses.

Post by: MrNomad on February 17, 2007, 06:48:09 pm: My worst has to be Crash Bandicoot: The wrath of cortex. For those of you who think sonic '06 has bad loading, or you think the gameplay is average, you have NO FUCKING CLUE until you play this game. It was the true start of crash's decline. Nobody even talks about him anymore after companies buying him and making such lackluster games, while naughty dog has to throw it in Crash's face with Jak and Daxter X_X. Pisses me off cuz his first two were so good =P

Post by: Marth on February 18, 2007, 04:41:05 pm: I found TWoC to be not too bad, but I agree that there are frustrating spots and that the loading's
really, really slow (I think it's 20 seconds or something on GameCube- beaten only by The Hobbit).
Also, the graphics are really bad, especially considering what I've heard about the XBox version.
But I found the gameplay to be fine. I haven't tried the original games yet, so I can't compare them.

Believe me, the old ones compleately tower over this one.
