What is the worst game you have ever played?

As the name says, what is the worst game you have ever played.

I will start off. The worst game I have played is E.T The Extra Terrestrial for the Atari 2600. I have an original copy of the game and a working Atari 2600.

Starcraft for the 64. My Matt Damon it was a stinker. But it had it's ... no it was just bad.

Universal Combat (2004) on PC. Claimed to be a mix between FPS and air/space combat. Un-freaking-playable! And by that I mean that I couldn't figure out what buttons on the keyboard I was supposed to hit to play the game even after reading the manual! Changing the buttons? Impossible since the interface was glitchy as hell! It was REALLY bad!

Probably Super Pitfall on the NES. I like a lot of bad games, but this one doesn't even have a single redeeming feature.

Star Fox Command could be easily placed here, but I had some enjoyment out of playing it....Oh wait, Icy already added it.

Ghost Master; good ideas, but poor engine makes the game fail.

GT Auto Pro Racing for the Wii. That thing is DATA EXPUNGED.

Effing Fable 3, that game just ruined the word "Difficult".

Sonic '06. Do I really need to say why?

Although I have never played it, I know enough that once I eventually do play it, it could beat E.T. That would be pretty hard though.

Star Fox Command. No joke.

While I didn't think it was that bad, I do see where your coming from. It wasn't that good either.

I have to agree with pgpaw3, Command may have been a lackluster game and the weakest game in the SF series, (at least in my own honest opinion) but it's by no means one of the worst games of all time, let alone the absolute worst. I can name SEVERAL games that are far worse than Star Fox Command.

Delta Force 2. It was an average military FPS for its day, but what made it the worst game I've ever played was it's hackability.

You'd join any given server, and you couldn't take two steps out of spawn without having an "OMG HAX!!!!!" moment.

This wasn't because the sniper that spawned with you had an obvious aimbot (though he did), or because the guy wielding the SAW was speedhacking (which he did), or the guy with a wallhack, which he did have. Or the ammo hacker. Or the nospread hacker. These are your run-of-the-mill hax that pop-up in most hackable FPS games. DF2, however, took hax to a whole new level that I had never seen before or since.

How about a hack that moves the player's viewmodel 500ft in the air that allowed you to snipe with impunity by hiding behind a fucking mountain? How about a flying hack? No, it wasn't noclip as you could still hit terrain. How about a hack that lets you carry a mounted grenade launcher buffed to fire with the SAW's rate of fire (careful, you'll crash your game if you spray and pray too much)? Now combine that, with the flying hack and a speedhack. You'd spawn and immediately get bombed.

But the ultimate hack for this game was more nefarious. It was developed by an anti-cheat clan to be used as a means of clearing hackers from servers with no admins online, but eventually got into every hacker's toolbox. It was known as the sysdump hack after the message displayed when the game crashed informing the user of where to find a memory dump from the crash to send to support ("sysdump.txt saved" or something like that). Basically, you could select a player on the server, and the cheat program would send garbled data to the person's client. The game, not knowing what do do with the garbled data, bails-out leaving the poor sap staring at his desktop. Hackers would use it to boot admins out of their own servers.

The game is on Steam, though I don't know if anyone plays it anymore.

Superman 64 is DEFINITELY the worst game I've ever played, but...

Glover is the game I hate most in the world. It's just an everyday bad game, but I don't want to explain my hated for it right now.

Oh wait... I forgot this one doesn't count...

Anyway, the worst game i ever played has to be SPORE. The game is not actually that bad, but it gives a lot of disappointment when you reach the space stage. Also full of bugs and glitches, and it simply isn't what the 2005 GDCe demo's SPORE was supposed to be. Could really have been something good, but the better an idea is, the less likely it is to happen.

I'd have to say Judge Dredd for the SNES or Digimon World Championship for the DS.

For Judge Dredd, the level design was confusing and there were places where you need to go and they appear hidden within the background.

For Digimon, The game was just a complete chore. The game went by real time and it had a schedule that had to be followed in order to progress. Not only that, but in order for your Digimon to win battles, you had to feed them, clean up after them, put them in individual rooms so they can get exercise so they can digivolve, (I was lucky to get a Renamon ;) ) and the what is probably the most painful part.....Trying to catch new Digimon. The only problem about this is you have a limit of how many Digimon you can have. It was suppose to give it a sort of "meta" feeling, like you were taking care of your own Digimon which is what some of the games are known for. But the way this game pulled it off was just terrible.

Reign of Fire (You know, that CGI Dragon movie?), mostly by virtue of not having any dragons. You drive around in a glitchy jeep and shoot down blimps. That is it.

Also command was disappointing, yeah, but it wasn't a bad game. It was playable, there weren't any bugs.

Strangely, I haven't come across many bad games. But let's see here...

 

Xena on GBC

Last Action Hero on SNES

 

I'd sort of liked to add Mission Impossible for the N64 here, but it wasn't really that bad...

Hi,

I have two to count:

Mario Strikers Charged Football for Wii! I love the Mario Smash Football (or Super Mario Strikers in the US) on the GC, but the successor on the Wii was boring as hell. Sold it a week after I bought it on eBay - at least the price got doubled.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit (2010 game, not to confuse with NFS3: Hot Pursuit). The game was complete disgrace for the whole NFS-Series. Boring missions, boring scenery, crappy controls/physics and this totally annoying rubber band AI.

Rebel Raiders for Playstation 2. THE MOST gawd awful piece of gamin garbage I have ever played. No cockpit view, no story to care about and no reason period.
