I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Superman 64 :P

Definitely worse than ET

Race Drivin' on the Super Nintendo is the most recent one that stinks that I've played. It's a fine arcade game, but this conversion was an unplayable mess.

E.T. on a technical level is fine. That fact alone puts it above countless others. Heck, even if adventure games like this, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Riddle of the Sphinx aren't for you, modern VCS fans should at least be able to enjoy the title screen (Same with Raiders of the Lost Ark).

Anything simulator 20xx any system.
Except goat simulator because that was just an awesome idea

Good pick. I loves the 1st line of the review from Gamespot, "It serves no purpose other than to firmly establish the bottom of the barrel."

Another Good review was on Gamerevolution, "It's a bird! It's a plane! It's....CRAP!!!"

What's truly insane about E.T. was that it actually sold over a million carts.

WWE Raw or Raw 2 for the XBox.

^You think those are bad, try any of the LJN WWF games on the NES.

[PizzaKat]

How about WWF Wrestlemania? I think it was the first WWF game on the NES. One of the worst games ever. Urban Champion was pretty shitty too.

[Ackman]

Dick Tracey NES **** that game.

Sonic '06.

ET was playable if you read the manual. Plus it didn't shit on the name of a video game franchise. I think people had really high expectations for it being based on an A-grade movie that when they got a C-minus game they were hugely disappointed.

Sonic '06 looked pretty, but in terms of actual gameplay was as bad as Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing. The conversation web and LOADING times. I would definitely call it the worst game of 2006, and say that most reviewers were extremely generous - Metacritic score was 46. My rag of choice at the time was Game Informer, who gave it a 6.75. Sonic '06 is literally as bad as Superman 64, and worse than Bubsy 3D. LJN never even made a game this bad. On a 0-100 scale, I would say this one deserves about a 20, 25 tops. GamesRadar called it the 43rd worst game of all time, which is probably accurate. The tediousness is what destroys it. I can deal with bad graphics and bugs, I enjoyed Driv3r (although it didn't age well). But Sonic '06 just isn't fun, not even a little bit. Most "bad" games are at least a little bit fun.

I was looking forward to this one for months, I was a 13 year old Sonic fan when it came out on November 14, 2006. My parents blew 60 bucks on it, I think it was launch day (or very shortly afterwards). This was the game I'd been talking about probably for 4 months or more. After playing it for 45 minutes, I couldn't get past Soleanna. I was thinking "what the fuck is this shit?" The hype for that game was huge.
