I particularly hate bad sequels to good games. Twisted Metal 3 and 4 come to mind, as do Coolboarders 3 and 4 (all on PS1). These were two PS1 series I had previously enjoyed, only to see them both ruined by 989 Studios.

Everyone hates Twisted Metal 3 & 4 except me lol. Though I will admit 4 got kind of silly when they replaced all the characters except for a few unlockables. I loved 2, 3, and 4 and unfortunately there hasn't been a good Twisted Metal since IMO. There actually is a list though of the worst games of all time. Here it is, enjoy. http://www.seanbaby.com/nes/egm.htm

Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance (too slow and clunky)
Any Mario Party game beyond 2 (MP 2 kept me going, but the last several never really caught on)
F-Zero: GP Legend (I was blown away after playing GX and this one never really caught on)

There. I have removed Wind Waker from the list.

That's just a case of him not liking it, not it being a bad game. The worst game has to be something that has no redeeming value. tWW is a superior game, finely crafted and honed to perfection, high production values and a great sense of style.

It is fact that tWW is a well-made game, you might not like it, but it's well-made. Meaning it can't be the worst game ever. Worst game ever would be something like that truck racing game for PC, where you can go as fast in reverse as you can forwards, every single environmental object has no collision detection, your truck will bug out and down pinpoint turns of it's own accord, and you can drive until you fall off the race course.

In conclusion, let us ignore all posts made by this Brian character from this day forward.

I liked Twisted Metal 3 when I was a kid...I still got it laying around here somewhere.

Syphon Filter Omega Strain...damn did that game piss me off with how BAD it was. I loved the SF series on PS1 and this piece of garbage comes around and just pisses on the series. SF 2 was still the best I miss that game. I lost my copy and I can't find it anywhere to buy.

I thought Rayman Arena and Jekyll & Hyde were pretty sucky.

To be fair, TM 3 and 4 aren't my least favorite games of all or anything, just ones I found disappointing considering how much I enjoyed TM2.

You didn't like Twisted Metal Black? I thought it redeemed the series and is one of my favorite PS2 games.

Worst game to ever grace man kind? Got no clue, though I think it goes to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for just being so damn confusing and...well, crap

The worst game I have ever played to date, however, though it pains me to say it, has to be the VERY first TMNT game made in 1989. I've got nothing against the graphics or anything, but it's just...well, let's say that I didn't like the fact that they didn't use characters like Krang and such. Instead they have these robots that always seem to spawn after you kill them o_O Good thing they improved greatly over time, no?

Now that I think about it, I never really gave Wind Waker a chance. I was just turned off by the cartoon-like graphics, especially after playing OOT.

I didn't really go for WCW Mayhem either. It was hard to put this game on the same level as WCW/NWO Revenge for the Nintendo 64.

U didn't just say the graphics turn u off, that was one lame excuse many gamers said when they saw the game.. Trust me dude.. The game is fantastic.. Deserve to be in everyone's gamecube library and um just cuz the graphics are cartoony, plese give the game a chance.. the story is fantastic..

Anyways, E.T. and Superman 64 are 2 worst games.. My family has an Atari with E.T.

Yikes!

Thanks for recommendation. I'll certainly keep it in mind as it is probably cheap now.

Back to the topic, another WCW game that never took off with me: WCW Nitro. I guess it reminded me of WCW Thunder too much.

Soccer, for the NES. Granted, most of the launch titles for the NES were pretty darn awful, but this one really takes the cake. Ugly graphics, unbelievably bad gameplay, asinine sound design. Really, really bad game.

I bought a SNES game called Mario's Time Machine at the game store, not knowing what it was. Turns out, it's a crappy learning game.
