Have you ever played, or heard of, a game so awful you must complain about it? Well, do it here!

I'll start this topic off with Action 52 (skip to 1:45 to avoid talking) for the NES and E.T. (skip to 2:10 to avoid talking) for the Atari. I provided you with YouTube commentaries so you can judge for yourself.

Action 52 is a multicart consisting of fifty-two different video games. However, you'll be lucky to be able to beat atleast half of said games, because most freeze at a certain level or some are just a black screen. Oh, did I mention that this game costs two hundred dollars?

E.T. ...I honestly don't know where to start with this one. Well, you play as E.T., and the main objective is to collect pieces of a phone so you can call your ship. This sounds easy, but with FBI agents and scientist constantly chasing you and stealing your parts, plus falling into holes, makes the game obnoxiously tiresome.

Sorry if this topic has been done to death

I hate Ridge Racer 7 cos the turning is BAD. Whenever u turn a corner u jus go skidding like cazy. Harry Potter Quidditch World Cup was pretty bad too. It was a good IDEA for a game but crap gameplay cos each game took AAAGES to finish and each game was EASY as hell. I won like 30 games in a row before deciding that it was gonna take about a year before I completed the damn cup so I quit it.

Let people have thier opinions without arguing.

Myself, I hate Grandia III with a passion.

The voices were terrible, the characters were almost completely flat, the plot was bland, and any speck of creativity was something reused and renamed.

At least the monsters looked cool, but the characters made me sick.

Especially that stupid Alfina. I wasn't to tear her f-ing vocal cords out.

1. The Xenosaga games. Don't let KOS-MOS' cuteness fool you, this game is frustrating and not easy if you like non-stop action like I do.

2. Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Talk about your bad controls. I don't know why anyone would keep that game after playing it for 5 minutes. That game should've came out 5 years before it actually did.

3. Malice. The strange storyline is cool and the game isn't so bad but just stay away from it. Play Toy story 2 instead.
