My vote has to go to "the unholy war". This game was just fucking rancid, granted I only played the demo of it, but I can't see the full game being much better.

The City of Lost Children. I wandered around for an hour, had no clue what was going on. I turned it off and never played it again. Wasted 5 bucks there...

Cybersled- This is one of the very first psx games I ever played. I rented it the day that I got my psx (along with Kings Field, so I was at least happy about one game :)) and man was this game awful. It was attempting to be a 3D game, but it just looked horrid. This seriously has to be one of the worst games I have ever played, ever.

You don't mean Cyberspeed, do you? Now that was a terrible game. Literally, an on-rails racer, and it looked worse than any SuperFX game. I remember Cybersled being a damn fun twin-stick mech game ala Virtual On in the arcades. Maybe the PSX port was just really bad...X_x

Hmm, I'm not sure which one it is actually :embarrassed: . The one I am talking about is where you pick a vehicle and you are in an arena and you drive around the arena and attack your opponent, kind of like a fighting game but with vehicles of some sorts. So, I'm not sure which one it was :?

SaGa Frontier is one of the worst games I love. I don't know why. I just do. It could have been a really good game with just a couple more months of development.

Now, for out-and-out, not even marginally enjoyable bad, I've gotta nominate Beyond the Beyond. Ugh.

CRUSADERS OF MIGHT & MAGIC

Haha, I rented that once.

"Hmm. A person. I wonder how to talk to him? Probably the same button I use to attack."

*Schwing*

"Nope, that makes me attack him. He doesn't seem to like that."

*die*

"Well, crap."

despite what you guys say:

i'd like copies of:

vs.
killing zone
kileak
beyond the beyond
crow: city of angels
deathtrap dungeon

with the manuals and all. i could easily save from paying shipping when most of these are loose in eb for a few bucks.

The Motoi Sakuraba soundtrack and the Shining Force style portraits and text alone are enough to make Beyond the Beyond marginally enjoyable. :P

I have to question the inclusion of Eternal Eyes. I played that game through to the end, and while it was nothing spectacular, it at least was playable. I will however, second Iron & Blood, a game that was given to me against my will. I'll also add WWF Warzone, a most terrible wrestling game which I got for free from a local Blockbuster with a game rental. They had crates of them, and most people were refusing them.

Well I played, loved and finished both Driver games but yes the 2nd was mega hard. Anyway, I seem to recollect a horid PSX game called THE ONE or something similiar, if anyone can comment please help......

I believe the game you are thinking of is called "One". At the beginning of the game you are running through this building with a helicopter shooting at you. You must jump over the concrete holes made by the missiles it launches. Then you are at the bottom of a hole and a whole bunch of guys attack you at once, so you use your "rage power" (or whatever) to mow 'em down. Then a spaceship type thingy suddenly appears in the hole and you have to keep jumping up on ledges to reach the top while it shoots at you (and knocking you back down to the bottom, or killing you, when it hits you). I gave up after this part.

The main problem here is that the camera can't keep up with what you are doing, so you are always jumping into places you shouldn't be jumping. And that hole is even harder to get out of than the ones in E.T.

The "rage" thing is kind of cool, but done better in other games (especially Sword of the Berzerk). Otherwise, it's total garbage. They should have called it "None" because that is how much fun you will have with the game.
I completely disagree with this assessment. I think One is one of the best games in the PSX's library. No, the camera isn't perfect, but that's true of most games from that era. It's a challenging game, but not impossible by any means. I had a blast with it, and it was one of the biggest hits at my college when it first came out. Awesome graphics (for its time, but they still hold up well today) and fun gameplay. I loved this game then and still enjoy it now.

YES. I hated beyond the beyond.

Back when I started playing rpgs on the playstation, my friend jason dumped a bunch on me, including that. I think I got an hour in before realizing I wouldn't give a shit about anything in this game, and promptly threw it back at him.

I really hate it when someone does this...lists an entire genre or series for the worst or the best. True, there are some real stinkers for the system when it comes to baseball games (I still shudder when I think of the system's first baseball title) but there also some good ones. I liked the Triple Play series despite a few flaws and the MLB series isn't bad either.

My vote is for Kileak: The DNA Operative. This game just plain BLEW. I bought it for 3 bucks at a video rental store because it was a longbox game and it disgusted me so much I actually traded it in for 5 at gamezone. What ticks me off even more now that I think about it is the fact that I have to buy it again when I go for a longbox collecton......DAMN.

Here's one that most won't agree with. Star Ocean : The Second Story. I'm sorry, but I hate any game where you have to cook shit to create new health items. Not to mention the fact that this is one of those rare games where you could combine items to create.... JUNK! That's right, the item that you just created is litterally labeled junk. I swear to God, this is the only RPG I have ever played where the micro-management was more intense than the gameplay.

The Mummy - You know a game is bad when they attempt to make a seamless transition from the movie clips to the game but as soon as the dialogue from the movie ends and the game voice acting kicks in it's an entirely different voice. o_O Not to mention they TOTALLY screwed up the character faces. It's as if they took a photo of the actor but they weren't capable of wrapping the image around his polygonal head, so he ends up with a flat face the width of a platter.

Tomb Raider 3 - Here's my experience with it: I kept slowly sliding down a cliff into spikes and dying. My boyfriend's little sister figured out how to get past the spikes, she killed a monkey at the bottom, got lost, and then we turned off the game.

They suck, Don't they?

Anyway, I have a new one to add:

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - It sucks, 'nuff said.

I swear to God, this is the only RPG I have ever played where the micro-management was more intense than the gameplay.

You know, you could play through the whole game without doing pretty much anything with item creation. O_o You can buy all the healing items, weapons, and armor you need at shops, just like in any normal RPG. The item creation system is actually pretty simplistic once you figure it out. There's a song you can play that makes you nearly 100% successful at creating items while it's playing. Anyway, Star Ocean: Blue Sphere did item creation better (turning each item creation ability into a fun little mini-game where you have complete control over your own success). At the very least, Star Ocean 2 did item creation better than Star Ocean 3 where you just have to sit a long ass time as a bar fills up to see if the game will be kind enough to randomly succeed, all the while it's draining tons of your cash. And if that wasn't bad enough, the cost determines what item you can potentially get, yet the game doesn't manually let you set the cost. Instead you gotta keep pressing the cost button over and over as the game randomly selects cost amounts until you get one you want.

SaGa Frontier made me want to stab myself in the face. The second one wasn't as bad...but...it was pretty "meh."

SaGa Frontier's the first one that came to mind for me too. I was a Square whore (and still am for the most part), and blindly bought nearly everything they released at the time. This is the game that shook my confidence in the company and made me determined to learn about their releases before buying in the future.

Hey, now. I kind of like The Unholy War. Not that it's classic or anything. But it's kinda like 3D Archon, and I liked Archon a lot.

I agree... I like this one as well...

MY vote goes to both of the Sesame Street Elmo Games. I know what you're thinking... It's a kids game... right? Well, that's not why they're so bad... it's the controls... They are soooooooo sluggish.... it's literally a pain to control Elmo's vehicle to fulfil your objectives... and you would think control should be GREAT in a kids game... My daughter got so frustrated with it that she has yet to want to play another video game... X_x That's what makes it a bad game! :angry:

Go for the N64 versions they are much better. Even though my 4 yo could care less he can't steer anything anyway. Same with the teletubbies PS1 game.

As for the teletubbies it is a bit of a mystery. Since by the time a kid like my 8 or 7 yo can figure it out they are not into those tubbies anymore.

Hooters Road Trip plays so much better after a six pack I swear it starts to control better. And just the irritation factor it causes my wife in itself is amusing :)

I thing the worst I have ever played is Grid Runner. But that was years ago. Maybe I should try it again.

My God.

Spice World. *vomit*

I rented it at Blockbuster, because at the time, I found the Spice Girls to be so bad that they were amusing. I even went to see the movie with a friend and got a good yuck. However, the "game"... if you can even call it a game... is SO bad... you cannot get any kind of twisted enjoyment out of it. Even if you love to play bad things, this will still be too bad of a game to play.

It's one of those games where you make a music video. I know Britney Spears did a game like that, I think. Except you don't DO anything. You take ten minutes, put together a shitty video with pointless dance steps, and then you're done. There's no goal. There's no reward. There's no challenge. There's not even any creativity involved, like a Mario Paint or some such.

My mind felt... numb afterwards. Probably the only time I voluntarily took a game back to Blockbuster days early.

Also, I like Saga Frontier. I don't consider it a terrible game at all. As for Star Ocean: TSS, well... it's one of my favorite games of all time.

Luckily, those are the only two games in this thread that I like and have been blasted. The rest really are just crap and I agree.

I remember quite a few years ago I played the worst game Ive ever played, It was called 4-4-2 Soccer, on PSX, I swear the graphics were like NES or SNES quality. When you scored a goal, no celebrations would happen, it was unbelievable crap. I cant even find any pics/info on the game using Google. Anyway just wondering if anyone can remember this HORRIBLE game, if you think its the worst game ever and maybe post a pic so I can relive the horror.

Boo!

Actually, there is very little to be found on this game. The DP Rarity guide has a "placeholder" entry for it, but no real info. It was a PAL release only by Virgin games. The photo I found was from some UK store still selling them.

Because I don't keep anything I don't like, my collection has always been small compared to the serious folks. Here are some I've weeded out over time.

ODT: You can play as an archbishop, but it's not enough to overcome to nasty difficulty and killer camera.

MDK: I just couldn't enjoy it. It runs smooth and all, but the GFX just look off. It wasn't fully prerendered, but still, something about didn't seem right.

Wild 9: Now this wasn't actually too bad, it had some real fun bits, but also mindless repitition too, especially with freefall and chase levels.

Apocalype: Bruce Willis was in it? So what. I did kind of enjoy the storyline, but the run everywhere shoot everything formula isn't great. Oh the controls were OK, very Robotrek 2084 esque.

I'm glad I never got a chance to taste the horrors of Bubsy 3D and the like.

-MTV Celebrity Deathmatch. Snooze-fest and-a-half.

-Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22 and Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout. The only reason I own them is because I've liked Dragon Ball since '87 and am a collector. These games are abysmal even by the standards of the year they were released.

And I, for one, think they should do a next-gen Battle Arena Toshinden with a revamped fighting system and redesigned characters.

I believe I mentioned the first baseball game for the PS1 earlier (Bases Loaded: Double-Header or some such title) in which the players looked like mannequins. Another bad one was the first Hardball on the system. Al Michaels did the play-by-play but they decided to work it so he could comment on the game on the fly so the game searches for the right stats and whatever and it is just awful sounding with all the pauses and everything. Gameplay's not so hot either. And I'm sure someone's mentioned Sammy Sosa's Softball Slam. It's so reeeeeeeaallllllllllll...

One of these days I'm going to pull out all the bad PS1 games in my collection, stick 'em all up on Ebay in one big auction and see who bites...

I have another one to add: All Star Racing.

Advantages:
-It's easy to pick a car and course and start racing.
-Don't have a memory card? No problem.

Disadvantages: Everything else. This game reminded me of GT64 on the N64 - bad sound, controls that leave much to be desired, and not much to go back for. All you do is race, and once you finish, the game's over regardless of where you place. A tournament mode and the ability to race any car on any of the tracks would have made the game a little better. Of course, for a tournament mode, the game would need a save function, which is nonexistent.

With so many stellar racing titles available on the system for around the same price, this is hardly worth looking at.

I'm surprised people hate "ONE"; that's definitely one of my faves on the system. My buddy and I used to play that alot - very arcade-y and great fun.

I loathed Critical Depth. Twisted Metal with submarines -- great idea, right? Shit controls, shit camera. What a waste.

Nebagram
01-26-2009, 09:42 AM
Eh, I liked Wild 9, if only because you could utilise your gravity gun (or whatever) and turn enemies into platforms to get over spike pits. :)

One game I hated (or at least, hated the demo of) was Live Wire, which involved drawing lines around squares and converting them to your colour. Not only could you only see 2% of the play area at any one time, but the computer would routinely deploy it's arse-banging power-ups right at the end and nick victory. I never tried it multiplayer for the whole 'can't see shit' reason and it's been bottom of my Playstation list for, well, ever.

01-26-2009, 04:42 PM
I also hated Beyond the Beyond and SaGa Frontier, tho I'd have a hard time calling them "bad" games, just seriously flawed and definitely not something I'd want to play. Add to this list Shadow Madness, a game whose only redeeming features are decent backgrounds and humor. (And the only really funny character in the game dies in the first ten hours! Unforgivable.)

For true retchedness, tho, check out:

Cardinal Syn - a truly horrible, broken fighting game is painfully bad graphics.
Die Hard Trilogy - I know many people love this ugly ugly game but come on! The game might be playable if I knew what the heck I was looking at, but probably not.
Warriors of Might & Magic - Painful to look at, painful to play. This game has some truly awful controls, dialogue and... well pretty much everything in this game is bad.
Vampire Hunter D - This is a great way to ruin a license right here. Take an interesting character and setting and then drop it into a horrible, uncontrollable mess of a game that has very little to do with the character or setting.

DigitalSpace
01-27-2009, 06:50 PM
I have a few more to throw in:

-Twisted Metal III: 989 Studios really screwed this one up. Only a couple of the levels are any fun, and the others are just too small or boring.
-KISS Pinball: If I didn't collect pinball sims, there's no way this stinker would still be in my collection. The controls are awful and everything moves way too fast for its own good.
-V-Tennis: An early 3D Tennis game, and a good example of how horribly most early 3D sports games have aged. It's only worth owning if you want another R7 in your collection.
-Tomb Raider III: The best thing about this Tomb Raider sequel? It's not Angel of Darkness on the PS2.
-Critical Depth: I have to agree with smork. Great concept, but the controls and camera ruined it.

Also, check out my thread on the worst PS1 racers (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123417), where I bashed Racing, Ford Racing, Destruction Derby 2, and Sno-Cross Championship Racing.


Another game that deserves to be mentioned is Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker. Acclaim did some pretty bad stuff with the Batman license, but they have nothing on the horror Ubisoft created.

IGN wrote a witty review of the game that explains how awful this turd truly is:

Link (http://psx.ign.com/articles/164/164923p1.html)

Finally, I have a story from a few years ago that involved this game. I'm hanging out at a friend's house, and he's trying to talk another one of our friends into a ride to Best Buy. He finally agreed to the ride after being offered Batman Beyond (I think he offered something else as well, but I can't remember).

The only problem was that friend had a Ford Taurus and its best years were far behind it. We're off and heading down 82nd avenue, and once we get near the Fred Meyer about ten blocks away, the car breaks down... in the middle of the street. After what seemed to be about ten minutes, he managed to get the car running long enough to get off of 82nd, and pulled into the Fred Meyer parking lot. The other friend wound up getting what he wanted in Fred Meyer's electronic section, and fortunately, the car ran long enough to get us back to his house.

There's not even any creativity involved, like a Mario Paint or some such.

My mind felt... numb afterwards. Probably the only time I voluntarily took a game back to Blockbuster days early.

Yeah this game was terrible, the extra video that exists in the game is longer than the game itself which is pointless and basically this game was just easy money for the Spice Girls with no worries about how good it actually was.


I can't believe no one's mentioned Dragonball GT: Final Bout, the only fighter that takes 3 seconds to turn around in.

I was really excited when I got a free copy of this a few years ago and then after I got it I almost instantly wanted to give it back. The best part of the game is the intro clip, it's more entertaining to watch that clip over and over then to play that game.



Anyway, there was just one Playstation game I can think of that really got on my nerves... Irritating Stick. This title had two strikes against it already... it was designed by the creators of that Neo-Geo misfire Shinoken, and it was based on a Japanese game show so obnoxious it makes even Regis Philbin and Jeff "Rectal" Probst seem pleasant by comparison. The third strike was a combination of hideous graphics, simplistic gameplay, and the world's most nerve-wracking soundtrack. What's most pathetic is that a similar game was released on the Neo-Geo, and it was five times the game Irritating Stick was despite being made for a much older system.

I bought Irritating Stick for five dollars. To this day I still wish I had my five dollars back.


Oh man I hate Irritating Stick, it's the worst game on the PS imo. I played it once in a demo cd for the PlayStation Underground and it was awful, any slight touch on the controller and you were zapped and had to start all over again.

The Crow: City of Angels sucks balls. Instead of the undead badass from the comics(and partly from the movies) you are instead refined to a slow moving test dummy that constantly gets shot over and over again before you can ever get close enough to kill your enemies.

The Incredible Hulk was also pretty bad. I can't think of anything good about this game. The Hulk himself was rather gimpy in it. This one should have stayed on the cutting room floor.

Steel Harbinger immediately comes to mind *shudder*

Cybersled was quite awful on the PSX. The first (and only) time that I played split-screen with a buddy was spent in fits of laughter as we slowly chased each other around the circular battle arena with a raised platform in the middle.

Pretty much any Acclaim game from '96-'97 qualifies for this list.

Tales of Legendia and Rascal Racers come to mind. In Tales of Legendia I was done once the pig started dancing and gives the "recipe" for toast >.<

Defcon 5 was pretty awful. Trying to have any fun with this game will get you killed, and playing it 'right' is about as much fun as folding laundry.

I love the original Blaster Master so much, but Blaster Master: Blasting Again sucked so bad! Horrible loading times, bad camera angles, bad viewing distance,and most importantly, not fun.

There's a reason 2Extreme sucked: it predates button-mashy trick-doing games. If you remember the original espn xgames psx game (release title, baybeee) it sucks compared to that. xgames 1 was a pretty good racer, imo, even though you didn't have tricks.

I remember begging for Kileak: the dna imperative because my mother would not buy me games. Man that was disappointing.

Destruction Derby was cool but I hated the load time..it took like 3 minutes to load every race.

I seem to remember a 3Dish megaman game that was not very good..

Looking bad on my old posts in this topic, it makes me sad that there was once at point in which my life had not been tainted by Bubsy 3D. Now I can say that it's the only correct response to this topic.

Whats even more amazing is that a mere two years after Bubsy 3D they would go on to create one of the greatest(and grossly underrated) Playstation franchises of all time: Syphon Filter. Somehow they went from making a triple "F" game to making a triple "A" game.

overblood- love the title screen/intro, techical stuff like the switchable camera angles and some of the gameplay ideas. but the monsters look stupid, the characters can't run worth a damn, and at one point you can click on and get killed by an armless, legless statue! the hysterical thing about that last part is in the much better sequel (overblood 2, which has nothing at all to do with the first game), there's a statue in that game as well as an in-joke to folks who fell for it in the first game. when you go to look at it, if you click on it, it falls and kills you as well!



YOU DIDNT LIKE OVERBLOOD?!?!?!


*MIND EXPLOSION!!!*


ok seriously tho...almost none of the gameplay mechanics hold up today....fuck...they barely worked then, and the graphics and clunky controls were always BLEHHH


but can u seriously sit there, and tell me u didnt let out even a single tear drop or emotional scream to the heavens, when your trusty sidekick and personal robot, "pipo" died?!?!?


YOU HAVE NO FUCKING SOUL SIR....


the game did have a good story tho....but i can see why some people would lump this game in this category :(

Some bad PSX games I've played:

San Francisco Rush (Which I actually like, lol. )

Fighting Force ( It is a shame this game is a PS1 Classic on PSN, where games such as GT2 or Tenchu, isn't up there ).

Jersey Devil

Sheep was pretty dumb, You control a version of BoPeep wearing dark eyeshadow and spiked bracelets and walk around the field yelling "hey!" to scare the sheep in the correct direction to solve puzzles. It's the only action you have. And it's top-down 2D graphics that look like they could have worked on some older platform of the time, like Super Nintendo. Totally corny, totally boring, and a waste of time and money to have.

So I sold it for like a nickel or something. I have no clue, it was just in a stack of games I had to trade in for store credit.

Bubsy 3D-infamously poor

Baby Universe-Possibly worst than bubsy

Street fighter the movie game-Tried to rip off mortal kombat but failed miserably,although its the last appearnace of the actor of Bison (forget the name)

All 3rd party ps1 games-You know the ones my pony,puzzle hunters,101 dalmations,the really really bad cheap ones you could get for literally a few pounds,or as i like to call them "Bargain Bin Scum"

Ok, this game I picked up because I thought it looked cool. The game I picked up god knows how long ago is Shadow master, I dont know if you guys know this one, but I hated it with a passion after my first run through it. The controls are extremely sloppy and are probably theworst part of the game, everything else is ok for PSX, but the controls makes everything suck even worse, dont pick this one up!

Tomb Raider 3 - Controls are terrible. Very shitty game.
Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed - terrible driving game
RC Stunt Copter - Terrible controls
