Waynes World

*Mature Language is featured in this review and may not be suitable for younger audiences*
"Is it really that bad? Yes, Way..."
Game: Wayne's world
Console: Sega Genesis, SNES
Release date:
Worlds worst video games score: 2.7
Known scores: Game informer 1, 1UP user rating F
Review:
This game actually pisses me off. For example there are times when you hit the jump correctly but you still fail and die. The game also has f**k all to do with the movie. So lets talk thorugh the game. The game opens with the Waynes World theme. At this point it seems cool. So it jumps straight to a cutscene. Now where the f**k is the menu? Nope this game isn't even worthy of a menu! We then cut to, well a cut scene. This introduces us to the plot. To begin with they count 10 crappy games (come to think of it why isn't Wayne's world on there?), then they say they got sucked into a video game (ahem, think the Simpson's game). So I'm guessing it then goes to a flashback. So, to begin with you play as Wayne running around a music store with a giant head. The background never really changes so its difficult to tell how far you have left to go. So your primary weapon is your guitar it fires these weird blue things. You might think, hey at least it shoots straight well this sucks since your enemies can shoot up and down, well the walking cymbals can anyway. At least they changed the music, its certaintly not the best and it gets annonying after a while because it just keeps looping but its different from the title. Now the graphics for the time aren't too bad but it just reiterates that good graphics don't make a good game but in fact a shit one. Then theres the drums you jump on there a bitch. You normally fire off in the wrong direction for a start. So, come to think of it theres red splodgy things, walking cymbols, and accordions that punch you, its a pretty fucked up music store. The damn game is pretty hard too, you take 5 hits and you die and you will take hits because the enemies take too long to die and you have to be stood directly in front of them to hit them. Then when you die no matter where you are you have to start from the beginning. This game will turn you angry with frustration, Games are supposed to be fun! Wayne's world is "NOT" fun! Overall avoid this game. The movie was good but the game as AVGN would say "sucked ass". And as Wayne and Garth would say. "This game is not f**king worthy of your time"
Pros:
Graphics are good for the time
Cons:
Repetitive
Poor gameplay
Extremly frustrating
Another crappy movie tie-in
More Info:
The game was also released on Gameboy. The game was based on the Wayne's world movie which was in fact based on a popular comedy sketch from Saturday night live.

The great Waldo search

Game: The great Waldo search
Console: Sega Genesis (aka Sega Megadrive), it was also released on SNES
Release date: 1992
World's worst video games score: 1.7
Known scores: IGN reader average 3.9
Review: When at the main menu you notice three modes. Normal which is in fact super easy, expert and a picture of waldo. I have no idea what that picture means or what that mode is. So you click normal mode have a quick glance through the levels and guess what. There are only 4 levels which I completed in the gameplay video below in about 5 minutes. The gameplay is absymal its a simple point and click adventure which follows the same pattern of the original book, in fact this is an interactive version of the book. The only game you get to play is Waldo's dogs mini game. It gets even worse. You play as the dog moving up and down to collect as many bones as possibles. Thats it. Theres no bad guy chasing you, no finding waldo, just a dog on a flyng carpet! On each level the mini game is exactly the same and I mean exactly same! Replayability is dead and reptitivness is now on a high score. Back to the main game you fnd clocks which I presume is for time, slver blocks with numbers in them which again I presume is extra points and you also search for waldo and his dog. In addition to this you search for clues but clues for what I have no idea? So you complete the 4 levels and it brings you back to the main menu and if you select normal again there are NO extra levels to unlock or anything. So it's time to try the mysterious picture of Waldo mode (which turns out is the 5th and final level). There are no clocks, no silver blocks or clues. This is simply a picture in which everyone is dressed as Waldo. There are NO instructions on what to do nor do I recall been told what to look for, so I paniced and clicked everything and still managed to get points. This game is pure crap. Its a complete worst of time. You'd have to be a die hard fan to have fun and I doubt there are many of those! Where's Waldo? Where's the nearest trash can more like! Also for some reason the game has a delated reaction. For example in the gameplay video at the end the game randomly says "man with three legs". I mean wtf? Since when do men have 3 legs? If games alter our behaviour will little kids walk down the street, grab a magnify glass and stare at everyone with three legs? This game is even patronising for kids!
Seriously if your intent on more Waldo then stick to the books.
Pros:
I never have to find Waldo again!
Cons:
He's still hiding!
More info:
Waldo's original name was Wally, but the name Waldo sold a lot more in America which literally killed poor Wally.
Waldo's dog is called Woof- How original!

The Addams Family

Game: The Addams family
Console: Sega Master System
Release date: November 19th 1992
World's worst video games score: 5.3
Known Scores: 1UP Average score F, Gamespot user score average 7.0/critic score 6.8
Review:
The game takes place toward the ends of the original movie. You play as Gomez searching for your kidnapped family around the addams family home. For the time the graphics aren't too bad but it is the frustrating gameplay that lets it down. It feels like publisher Ocean have took Mario and give it a whole new face lift. It is nothing original and just another game that the publisher decided to slap a familiar name on it and hope it would sell (see E.T. they got the worst of that one!). This game, is frighingly addictive for how repetitive it is. Plus you might find yourself singing to the them tune.
More Info:
A partially simplified version of this game was also released for the NES under the title "Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt", starring Pugsley as the main character instead of Gomez. The Addams family for Sega master system was featured in games I hate to play on youtube*

Fightbox

Game: Fightbox
Console: PS2/PC
Release date: Feb 6th 2004
World's worst video games score: 2.4 Absymal
Known Scores: Gamespot user review average 3.5,IC-games 28%
Review: With difficult controls, shocking AI and absymal graphics this is a game to miss. Fightbox is a beat 'em up style game. You design your virtual gladiator then battle other gladiators in the arena. The controls are very unresponssive and sluggish. Making it dull and frustrating to play. Even the choice of characters is limited, theres lightweight, mediumweight and heavyweight with each category having only 5 fighters. IC-games pros and cons just about some this game up:
Pros
# I do not have to play it anymore
Cons
# Some poor sod will

Fightbox? How about leaving it in the box?
More information:
This game was one of the few games that remained European exclusives. It was based on the BBC program of the same name.
The programme was reported to have cost up to £4 million to produce, but drew in an average viewing figure of just 22,000 people per episode, meaning it was costing £126 per viewer. According to the Guardian, the show peaked with 56,000 viewers, but subsequently viewing figures were the lowest recorded, with just 6,000 tuning in, a figure leaving it close to a zero rating in the BARB audience measurement system.
Sadly,There are no plans for any future series.

Coke Wins (AKA Pepsi Invaders)

Game: Coke wins (aka Pepsi Invaders)
Console: Atari 2600
Release date:
World's worst video games score: 4.7
Known Scores: Tomheroes C+, Gamespot User Score 5.2
Review: Quite simply yet another Space invaders clone. The objective? Destroy the evil pepsi invaders. Then theres the annonying countdown timer in which you only have 3 minutes to stop the pepsi invaders why this? I do not known. Once you complete a level it simply starts again - the ulitimate replayability? Adds nothing special video games except the humorous nature of blasting the word pepsi.
More Info: Coca-Cola asked Atari to create a game cartridge for Coca-Cola's Atlanta employees. So Atari went and altered Space Invaders. In this hack, the first five aliens are replaced by the letters P-E-P-S-I. The space ship that moves across the top has also been redesigned as the Pepsi red-white-and-blue circle logo. You have unlimited lives but only a three minute time limit to play. After the time runs out the game will flash with the words "Coke wins" at the top. There was also a lot of debate about the games name. It was first believed to be called Pepsi Invaders but it was later confirmed to be Coke Wins.

LOST: Via Domus

Game: LOST: Via Domus
Worlds Worst Video Games - Create Posta Domus
Console: PS3, XBOX 360, PC
Release date: February 27th 2008
World's worst video game score: 5.3
Known scores: Gamedaily 5 bad, Gamespot 6.5, 360stage 5.7
Review: LOST fans everywhere held a breath for this game. However, its terrible gameplay and voice acting severly let it down. With no replayability and the length of the game been 4-6hr is not worth the £40 price tag. Another disapointment was the lack of easter eggs and no new clues for fans. Back to the gameplay for over half of it your stuck doing fuse puzzles (see video below) which are unexciting and feel like an attempt to lengthen the game. The rest is either taking photos or running around in the jungle. Many fans also resented the ending claiming it to have the worst video game ending ever.
More info: Bloopers/Continuity problems, Source: Lostpedia
* The game opens with Elliot talking on the phone moments before the crash. However, in the show we know that the plane, six hours after leave the airport, loss any kind of communication with the outside world. ("Pilot, Part 1")
* Shortly before the crash, a voice asks passengers to sit down while Cindy chases Charlie to the bathroom. However, in the show it is Cindy herself who announces this. ("Pilot, Part 2")
* The day after the crash, Elliott witnesses Jack, Kate and Charlie coming running out of the jungle, chased by the Monster, even though they were able to walk back to the beach camp without further encounters with the monster. ("Pilot, Part 2")
* The Monster can apparently travel around the island in areas it has never been seen on the show, it appears in the caves and very close to the beach. In addition, Locke tells Elliott to hide in the bamboo groves if the Monster attacks, yet at this point in the timeline Locke had never been attacked by the Monster (though he had peacefully encountered it). ("Walkabout")
* Michael is shown collecting wood for the raft on day 2, when he really starts building it weeks later. ("Special")
* The ladder in the hatch is shown to descend all the way down, but we know that the ladder barely descended a few feet because it was broken. ("Man of Science, Man of Faith")
* Hurley mentions his encounter with Dave on Day 45, although in the show Dave was not seen on the Island until Day 62. ("Dave")
* The DHARMA van is seen in the Dark Territory, when it is really located near the Mesa. ("Tricia Tanaka Is Dead")
* The DHARMA van is seen on all four wheels, but it was really tipped over on its side. ("Tricia Tanaka Is Dead")
* Although Episode 6 clearly takes place prior to the end of Season 2, checking the Flame computer will reveal that the satellite and sonar communications are already inoperative, prior to the discharge that supposedly caused this. ("Not in Portland")
* The Flame is depicted as being within the bounds of the sonar fence, yet we know it wasn't. However, the underground tunnel could have led beneath the fence. ("Enter 77") ("Par Avion")
* In episode 7, Ben tells Elliott he can leave the island if he just brings him Jack. However, we know that Ben had planned to take Jack, as well as Kate and Sawyer to convince him to do the operation. ("Exposé")
* There is a typo in the help pamphlet on page 2 (XBOX 360-game controls) where the B button is labeled X and vice versa.

Michael Jackson's Moonwalker

Game: Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
Console: Sega Master System
Release Date: 1989
World's Worst Video games Score: 5.2
Known Scores: Gamespot 6.7 medicore, Defunct games 50%
Review: First off this game would come near the bottom of a list for the worlds worst video games, so bear that in mind! You play as Michael rescuing girls from a corrupt city, (the boys are safe!). You find the girls in various places such as dumpsters and car trunks. The gameplay is heavily repetitive each level and is one of the major flaws of the game. It's certainly got a great sound track with classic Jackson songs. The master system is a poor port of what was a good Genesis game More info: The game is based on the movie of the same name which was one of the poorest movies of the time.

E.T. The Extra Terrestrial

Game: E.T. The Extra Terrestrial
Console: Atari 2600
Release date: 1982
World's worst video game's score: 1.7
Known ratings: PCworld's worst game ever made, Gamespot user score 3, videogamescritic grade F.
Review: If you ask anyone has played this game before they will tell you how terrible it is. No matter how you rate it, E.T. was a misbegotten product that deserved to be buried. Why would the years biggest movie and console mess the game up, you may ask. Simple, the lead designer was given a mere 5 weeks to make the game so it would be available for the Christmas season. With terrible controls, various glitches, you can barely move too! The gameplay sees you dodging goverment agents and pits (Since when where there pits in E.T!?!?!?). The amount of pits is large and its very easy to find yourself falling into them again and again and again and again. The sound effects are very poor but the title theme may fool you into thinking that the game will be good. With a poor design due to Atari wanting the game ready for Christmas made this a game to miss. The object is to gather pieces of E.T.'s phone in order to, you know, phone home. You cant move very far before you fall into one of the million pits in the game. The title screen and music are nicely rendered, but that is where the wow factor ends. Not good when the best part of the game is the title screen.
More info: 4 million catridges were made but less than 40% of them were sold! It was partly the reason for Atari's bankruptcy in 1984. The 60% of cartridges Atari returned were buried in a landfill despite lots of protests and it was a large finacial loss.

The texas chainsaw massacre

Game: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Console: Atari 2600
Released: March 1983
World's worst games score: 3.1
Known Ratings: Gamespot user review average 5.9,videgames critic grade F (see review)
Review:
Wizard scored a hit with Halloween, but this video game adaptation is a complete debacle. Texas Chainsaw Massacre is as unpleasant as the movie it's based on. My wife and I saw the 1974 film on video a few years back, and it scared the living [expletive] out of us! Anyway, this is one of the first video games to let you control the "bad guy". You are Leatherface, a chainsaw-wielding masked psycho out to filet as many innocent people as possible before running out of gasoline. The screen scrolls sideways as you search for helpless victims and avoid obstacles including wheelchairs and cow skulls. The gameplay is a complete nightmare. Victims inexplicably disappear before you can touch them, and you're constantly getting hung up on the scenery. Even the graphics are lousy. Leatherface doesn't even resemble the movie character, and the running women look like Fisher Price toys. Their "screaming" is conveyed by ear-piecing tones, which will force all non-deaf gamers to immediately hit the mute button. When you do kill someone, they transform into an indiscernible blob. Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a novelty item with minimal play value. Its pathetic ending shows a person kicking Leatherface in the butt! Please tell me when it's over! (from videogamescritic)
More info:
This game was one of the first horror games ever made. The gameplay is siply this, you are leatherface and you have to kill all trespassers whle avoiding wheelchairs, fences and skulls. Most stores refused to sell the game because the only objective of the game was to kill. The graphics were shoddy and way out of proportion (trees almost quadruple the size of a house). Developer Wizard Games we are sad to say quickly went bust after thier other release Halloween also failed.
