Aina ei voi onnistua – tulisen vastaanoton saaneita pelejä
Nettisurffailun lomassa onnistuin törmäämään vekkuliin Wikipedian sivuun, jolla listataan poikkeuksellisen negatiivisen vastaanoton saaneita videopelejä. Listaa tsekkaillessaan voisikin ynnätä, että jos joskus tekee mieli pelata kaameaa roskaa pikkutuiterissa V2:n jätkien ja videokameran kera, niin tältä listalta aloitetaan.
Moni listan peli on tuttu ja osa tuorettakin kamaa, vaikka lista kattaa myös vanhempia pelejä 80-luvulta.
Mainittakoon esimerkkeinä esimerkiksi Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing, jonka Youtubesta löytyvää GameSpotin arvosteluvideota katsellaan eDomenkin toimituksessa aina kun elämä tuntuu kaatuvan päälle.
Suoria lainauksia:
- Action 52 (1991/1993, NES/Sega Genesis) This game featured 52 mini-games included in one cartridge, and was put on sale for $200, being hyped as ”less than $4 a game”. However, many critics criticised the compilation for all of the games being poor, especially in the NES version. This game was ranked #5 in Gamespy’s ’Top 10 Shameful Games’ list.
- Cassette 50 (1983, Cascade Games Ltd) a compilation of games described as being ”so bad it caused physical discomfort”, ”beyond awful” and ”a piece of crap collection”. It inspired an annual ’crap game’ competition and a site reviewing bad games.
- Drake of the 99 Dragons (more commonly known as simply Drake; 2003, Xbox, PC) is an action game with a comic book style to it. It was universally panned by critics, and GameSpot described it as ”one of the most atrociously unplayable games to come along in quite some time.” The controls in particular have come under criticism for ”not working”. X-Play named Drake of the 99 Dragons the worst Xbox game ever, and have even gone so far as to state it had surpassed Aquaman as the game that it compares all bad games to.
- Lair (2007, Playstation 3) received the ”Most Disappointing” award at the Gametrailers 2007 Game Awards, as well as the Screwattack SAGY for ”Worst PS3” game. It was also on Gamepro’s ”10 worst games of 2007” at #8.
- Superman 64 (1999, Nintendo 64). Reasons for this include the poor graphics, thinly detailed storyline and the gameplay itself, which disappointed many fans of Superman. Electronic Gaming Monthly writer Seanbaby wrote, ”Superman looks a lot like a flying log in panties, and the entire world is covered in a dull green fog”.[37]It also earned the number one spot in Nintendo Power’s ’5 Worst Games Ever’ and Spike TV/GameTrailers’s ’Top Ten Best and Worst Video Games of All Time’ countdown as the #1 worst. UK based magazine NGamer’s award for the years most disappointing game is named the ”Superman 64” award
