thread_title:  [[Ambulance Driver]] 

message: An awful Wii port of a two year old PS2 game with tacked on waggle controls that usually don't work causing your character to stand there and take a beating from the games unimaginative enemies.
The game has a plot, but it makes no mention of the story whatsoever in the actual game. The game consists of one music track, an annoying MIDI melody that doesn't fit with the game at all. The graphics are comparable to that of an N64 game, and even that's pushing it.
A more indepth look can be seen at IGN's review , which gave the game a 2.0/10. There's also the Gamespot review , where the game recieved a 1.5/10. It currently has a review average of 19/100 on Metacritic.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.41.247.121 (talk) 20:09, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

A buggy, humourless, mis-step of a game which was huge flop on release. The reviews were utterly scathing and it caused friction between McGee and the website Something Awful. Not that I mind, since it all proved that he was an overrated developer who relied on one game, American McGee's Alice, for credibility.
And yes, I'm fully aware that there's McGee fanatics out there who will defend the awful representation of satire on display here. It doesn't matter. It was still mauled and flopped.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kimdealslover (talk • contribs) 14:31, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

message: A $15 bargain at EB Games, this game isn't worth even that much. Your HP lowers when you run (ever head of stamina?). You can't choose which target to attack in battle. You can't gain experience and items at the same time (huh?). Lucia is worthless as a support character even at higher levels (At level 10 she still can't kill any enemy in one shot!). Your main character attacks with his sandals and acrobatics. Story takes an excrutiating amount of time to actually start. Side-missions ("Jobs") are ludicrousely long for nothing (obtaining items through hours of fighting while forfeiting any possible experience points, mostly). You can't hit flying ennemies before killing the one on the ground below it (until you get ranged attacks which I still haven't gotten after 3 hours of gameplay). Armors and weapons are extremely high-priced. As for visuals, a lot of the menu "links" are low-quality images that grow and shrink through a very bad stretch algorythm. The music isn't that bad, but could be a lot better. There is a token use of the mic, which is you can escape a battle by blowing on it like an idiot (yes, that's the only thing the mic does). Regular battles are mostly done by choosing "Auto Battle" and holding the right shoulder button. In conclusion? This game is about as entertaining as a retarted redneck removing boogers from his sister's (and/or wife's) nose. Sometimes, unique can be bad.

But these aren't really the worst games ever made, they're just the most notoriously bad. The worst games tend to come and go relatively unnoticed, insulting just the few poor saps that bought them before being forgotten entirely. Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots for the Game Boy Advance is a game so bad that it'll be hard to forget about it."IGN review How bad is it? Superman's score is over twice what they gave this. Other reviews, such as GameSpot, also gave it very low scores.--SeizureDog 06:26, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if anybody else played this game, but from what I remember it was pretty much a more developed verson of "The game of life", but with different colored squares that did different things and all of that. AKA it sucked.

message: Considered by many as one of the worst Atari 2600 games of all time due to its awful controls and programming. 
I didn't even know there was such a game. I thought you made a mistake for the SNES version. I say yes to adding this, but add more sources and make it clear this isnt Nintendo.guitarhero777777 03:15, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The Gameboy Color version in particular has been blasted: Gamespot gave it a 1.8 out of ten and calls it "possibly the worst Star Wars game ever produced". IGN gave it a 2/10 and says "Yoda Stories is one of the technically lamest and structurally annoying Game Boy games ever developed."  Awful controls, lacking graphics and horrid animation, and boring, repetitive gameplay.  Gamerankings gives it 35% and the only reason it's that high is a site that's apparently defunct gave it a 6/10. Tiakalla 04:01, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Released by EA for the Sega Genesis. I can't seem to find much worthwhile information about this game - like many games in the early 90s, it just sorta vanished into obscurity - but - and I usually refrain from such hyperbolic statements - anyone who has played this game will agree that it's one of the absolute worst pieces of shit ever created. Ever conceived.  It features gratutious, cheesy blood, tacky and irritating voice samples, graphics that mistake digitization with quality, and invisible pits. Invisible. Pits. The only facet of a classically bad game that this game lacks is that it was not based on a licensed property. --70.108.116.231 04:19, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Game Revolution had to change their review system for this game. They didn't want to give it an 'F' because they thought that was too high. They gave it their first and only 'F-'. The review for it is here; they explain it better (and much more humourously) than I could:-
Most of the reviews from other websites are pretty low too:-

Although not many people will know of this as it was never sold outside Japan, I once read in a magazine that it was voted as one of the worst game to be sold in the Japanese market and it even invented a subgenre there that is known as **** game. Also it was actually one of the four game by actor Takeshi Kitano, who was said to despise videogames, I would like to add more surce if I can find it. Willirennen 10.52, 14 December 2006

An incredibly bad German FPS, set in the time of the Vietnam war, with horrible graphics, gameplay, A.I. and sound. Received in nowhere more than 5 out of 100 points.

Videogame version of the popular books, only with terrible graphics making it very hard to find him, immensely boring gameplay, only eight levels and no music.
