Crappy games that you enjoy

[davidmt]

You know those "guilty pleasures" people talk about when discussing awful TV shows or bad movies, I was thinking we could apply the same topic to gaming.

We all know there are some REAL awful games out there. But are there any that you actually like playing--either now--or back in the day?

[minx]

spider

This was that launched title or very close to launch title for the original PS 1 where you play the part of a scientist turned into a spider. The motion captured spider movements make this game, since otherwise it's a really quite awful as it takes place completely on rails despite claiming to be 3-D. The saving system appears to be broken . Completely unimaginative level goals and a just plain awful level layout.gameplay revolves around the very stupid collection of items principle, and you can literally circle on a rail the room many times and miss rail paths splitting because their invisible, forcing you to circle the room yet again ad nauseaum.

Did I mention it has motion captured spiders?

This game rules!

[SS4Brolly]

Every single Dragonball Z game. You name it, I bought it, played it, and loved it.

[dynamite99]

ok dude DBZ games are not "crappy" and there are probably hella DBZ fans out there so most will prob like it, including me of course ;)

[SS4Brolly]

Have you played Ultimate Battle 22 or Final Bout? Legacy of Goku? The older ones for SNES (Excluding Hyper Demsion and Legend of the SSJ)? Horrible.

[elprincipe]

Well, I wouldn't consider anything that I like bad, since it is good at doing its job (entertaining me). However, I do like some games that a lot of other people don't like. For instance...

Deadly Towers (NES) - many people consider this one of the worst NES games. I think it's a good game.

NBA Hangtime (Arcade/N64) - a lot of people pan this for being NBA Jam with not enough upgrades, but it's my favorite game of all time on any system. The technique in the gameplay is unmatched, especially with 4 players. I can and do play this all the time and not get bored of it.

Luigi's Mansion (GameCube) - people don't like this due to shortness, but the game is a lot of fun to play and pretty original. No, it's not epic, but it is still fun for a while.

[digioverload]

The only poorly rated game I really enjoyed was Digimon World for the PS1. The entire time I was playing it I knew it was a horrible game, but I had a lot of fun.

[Mulliga]

Ninja Assault for PS2. Review sites say it's awful, but I think - and still think - it rocks. Of course, I love light gun games...

[Amanda the Red Mage]

Final Fantasy VIII. So many people hate this game, but I love it. I admit that it's too easy (I can have every single character with 100 ultima equipped to something by the end of the game) and I guess Squall can be annoying if you can't relate to him like I can, but overall it's a great game. I love the idea of using magic to improve your characters, and it's cool that it broke away from the traditional "MP" system that practically every RPG does and actually did something original.

But everyone else hates it. :(

[SAG26]

I also like FFVIII. I think it's a great game. I played FFVII once and lots of people says it's really good and that it's better than FFVIII, but I didn't really like it and I thought FFVIII was much better.

[SS4Brolly]

I dont like VIII at all. Which one would I rather choose: using a magic attack or losing stats? I doubt I used any magic throughout the entire game. Near the end it wasnt that bad. Still though, VII is much better. Story wise I was expecting a little more though. I did enjoy the card game though, but the rules started to get annoying. My least favorite of the FF's.

[defender]

all DBZ games are crap!

My new quilty pleasure is the Robin Hood:Defenders of the Crown

corny but I am addicted as I love offbeat games

[BigDirty]

I must say that I really enjoy Hat Trick.... for the uninitiated it was an old school sente arcade game that is 1 on 1 hockey where the player and goalie are on the same control.

[Firebrand]

Lagoon (SNES)

The main character has a glue stick for a sword.

[SneakyPenguin]

Spider was awesome! i mean, you were a spider! isnt that enough for you people? ah well i really like X2: Wolverines revenge. everyone seems to hate it, but i love it. slicing up goons with my claws just causes a maniacal grin to cross my lips. it brings a certain warmth to my cold, dead heart when i can kill in ultraviolent ways, a feeling only previously instilled by thrill kill, soilder of fortune, and shinobi (PS2)

[Monsta Mack]

I played (and own) Stake, Kabuki Warriors and Batman: Dark Tommrow. I actually forced myself to beat DT, man that was no easy feat. I certainly never fully enjoyed those games, but I did get a good laugh out of them and will write a review on each soon enough. I'm a fan of gamecrap and get a kick out of real bad games, unfortunately even 10$ (... or even $5) is a bit too much for any bad game.

I love GBTG and Luigi's Mansion, the critics aren't a fan of either games and I enjoyed them, so I guess you could count that as a guilty pleasure?

Um... Buffy the Vampire Slayer is pretty damn good. My friend laughed at my purchase, but I'm digging this game :oops:

Oh, and DBZ Budokai, I appreciate that game as well.

[Strider Turbulence]

Well, just about everyone seemingly hated Shaq-Fu but I thought it was a pretty cool game.

Bart vs the Space Mutants and Bart vs the World are also held in low regard but their imaginative gameplay made me overlook their poor controls.

[rocky76]

super bustamove 2... I love it. It's just the game play that I like. It has most underutilized graphics. I don't know why it's on PS2. It looks like it could be done in SNES.... no.. NES.

[TheRock88]

Shenmue, a lot of people hated this game because of the dialogue and "boring" gameplay. I found it to be one of my top 3 best Dreamcast games ever.

[Whambamm]

To whoever said Deadly Towers and the NES Simpsons games, I wholeheartedly agree. Those games are awesome. Also, Winback on N64. Didn't get horrible reviews but people complained of its repetitiveness. I just found it very addicting. One of my favorite N64 games.

[SS4Brolly]

Shenmue, a lot of people hated this game because of the dialogue and "boring" gameplay.

Those people deserve to be shot. The Shenmue series is one of the best games ever created.

[drfrielgood]

Mike Piazza's Strikezone on the N64. IGN gave this game like a 3, but I played like 3 full seasons of this game. Nothing like hitting 900 foot home runs and being praised when you jump right before you make a routine catch.

[Kanigit]

I'm not sure if I should admit to this, but I actually enjoy playing my daughter's Barbie Groovy Games on GBA. Some the the games are not half bad, others are pretty horrible.

[javeryh]

I loved Shadow Man on the DC...

[st0neface]

Halo, man does that game blow.

[Matarick]

Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs Zeon.

It isn't as fast as Virtual On or as in depth as Amored Core but controlling Mobile Suits in arcade style is helluva fun.

I wish the AUG vs Titan's North American game is compatible with the Network Adapter LAN mode (or even impliment free online play) since the Fed vs Zeon game had slowww split screen.

It was 2 New Year's eves and couldn't believe I spent my Christmas money (full $50 in Gamestop) on that instead of Animal Crossing or Metroid Prime. At least I had a codebreaker to make my Zeon victories flawless.

At least it kicks ass using it with an arcade styled joystick (ala the Japanese Capcom machines).

[xion]

HP:COS

Enjoy it everytime I play it

[AnthonyRoundtree]

Guilty Pleasure?

Hmmm....
Haven: Call of the King....
lamest character design and voice overs CAN ACTUALLY BE FORGIVEN when you play through to see all it has to offer.

Starsky and Hutch....
pure arcade action overshadowed by gamers reading the reviews of spoiled editors who fancy a big budget release.

The Typing of the Dead
its typing. i hated doing it all through jr. high school and swore to god that i would never waste my time with a typing program ever again.....
boy i was wrong.... DEAD WRONG!
*lol* .....

(...............shut up!)

[ted630]

State of Emergency

[Zomboy]

Hmmm, I got plenty of crappy games on my old P3 that I play all the time :) Can't think of any off the top of my head, though.

BTW, Star Wars: Force Commander wasn't pure crap like most reviews said. Its just that the resource system sucked (or at least, thats about all I hated about it)

[redgopher]

Final Fantasy VIII. So many people hate this game, but I love it.

FF VIII got me into the FF series. It really helped that I played it during my depressed, hopeless romantic late high school days... yeah.

VIII kicks ass. X really pissed me off at the beginning... it felt like all I was doing was watching a god damn movie. My reasoning was "It's the PS2, it's DVD, and they got way too fucking carried away with cinematics." But then I got further into the game and it just kicked ass.

Rikku and Yuna are fuckin' hot too. (/perv)

[redgopher]

Halo, man does that game blow.

You will die.

[hohndog]

Luigi's Mansion at $49.99 was a crappy game due to the length. At $16 and change its pretty good. Another example would be ICO. Not worth $49.99 due to the length, but awesome in the $20 range.

Legacy of Goku II for the GBA is a really fun game, but you may have to be a fan of DBZ to enjoy it. Same goes for the Budokai games. I'm an fan of the series, so I may be a bit biased here. :)

My kids talked me into Kirby Air Ride a while back at full price. I thought it was a platform game like the previous versions. Wrong. Its a really crappy racing game. But guess what? My kids absolutely love this game. I've tried to talk them out of it several times to trade in, but no can do.

I asked my kids what the crappiest game was for the new systems they can recall and Godzilla: Destroy all Monsters is the winner. The 'cheese' factor of the AI is way up there. Try unlocking all of the monsters without throwing your controller across the room is the real challenge.

[donssword]

Skydiving Extreme for PS1 - rhythm action by the makers of Bust a Groove that requires no rhythm.

Starsky & Hutch - well worth $19.99 - fun despite what the loser critics say.

FantaVision - sure it sells for $4 used, but it is still fun.

Roadrash: Jailbreak - a guilty pleasure. What more needs be said?

Cardinal Syn for the PS1 - a really great looking game with an even more amazing soundtrack. Do u really need a block button when the production design is this good? Well, okay, yeah u really do need a block button, but damn that soundtrack is good.

[SS4Brolly]

Starsky and Hutch....
pure arcade action overshadowed by gamers reading the reviews of spoiled editors who fancy a big budget release.

Yes, Starsky and Hutch rocks. Well worth it when Amazon had it for $0 with $5 shipping. Im about halfway though it and I'm having a blast. Whats it like having 2 people playing, one with a wheel and the other a lightgun? That would seem to be very fun.

[Wshakspear]

Seaman

Freakiest game to play, and one of the funniest after a while

[st0neface]

Halo, man does that game blow.

You will die.

That was obviously a joke. Lighten up, not only do I own the game, but I have all 3 books, and will preorder Halo 2 soon.

[oddfella]

i can play the game Caveman Games for NES for hours and hours. Its just button pushes but your alway trin to break your records

[ZForce915]

Legend of Zelda for the NES, I know most people hate this game...

I could put a lot of sports games down here because I know that (Madden excluded) most sports games aren't that well received.

[Wshakspear]

Cave-woman toss was great

[JSweeney]

Legend of Zelda for the NES, I know most people hate this game...

Yeah, they all hate Zelda, yet so many of them are tripping over themselves to get the bonus Zelda disk... Right.

[SneakyPenguin]

Halo, man does that game blow.

You will die.

Inevitably, yes. but not for saying halo sucked. it did. it was boring, cliched, multiplayer sucked (no bots? wha?). it was just weel hyped and advetised. Ther are MUCH better games than halo out.

[MaxBiaggi3]

I loved Shadow Man on the DC...

I loved Shadow Man on the N64. The Expansion Pak bumps the graphics resolution up quite a bit, and since there's no FMV to speak of, you really don't lose a lot through the cartridge translation. The PSone model was pretty close to unplayable by comparison (muddy graphics, loose control, etc.).

[guessed]

Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge

[poormojo]

I loved Deadly Towers.

And there was this weird RPG for the PSX called Guardian Quest, where you collected Windup toys to fight for you, and constantly ran into other heroes who were fighting the Big Evil, while you just searched for the mother of a monster who fell into your village. I found it oddly charming.

And Populous for the Genesis was also badass.

[space_rover]

The Getaway & Red Faction

[WeaponX2099]

the crappy games I like are Buffy 1&2, Pokemon Stadium, X2, and Kabuki Quantam Fighter for NES. the buffy games are ok Kabuki was laughable and sucky to beat.

[bfg9k]

ET for the Atari 2600. I didn't know it was supposed to suck. I think I got most of my gaming dollar when I didn't have that many dollars to spend on games. I still play it once in a while.

[wookieballz]

Serious Sam on the Xbox is complete crap, but I had a blast while I played it (um...no pun intended).

Hm...The Bouncer sucked pretty bad, too, but I had some good times with that game, as well. Other than that, I can't think of any other crappy games that I enjoyed.

[menewbe]

i can play the game Caveman Games for NES for hours and hours. Its just button pushes but your alway trin to break your records

oh dam! that game's fun...whenever i went to my friends house way back in the day we would play against each other...he'd beat me on the making a fire one all the time..dammit..lol

[MrBrando]

what?! no one said BMXXX?....actually I'm not that surprised

[ZeRoHouR58]

The Bouncer. I loved every moment of it even though it was short. I know a lot of people hated it but I enjoyed it.

[kittycatgirl2k]

Count another vote for Luigi's Mansion. I own over 100 current gen games and this is by far one of my favorites out of all the blockbuster 'hits' etc. This and Pikmin. I don't even know why.

The Adventures of Cookies & Cream (PS2) was hated by many but I got a kick out of it. Maybe just because the bunny had a flower pot on his head. GUNVALKYRIE on XBox recieved abysmal reviews but I think its still one of the best games on the system.

Dead or Alive: Extreme Beach Volleyball. Why did so many people hate this game? The visuals are lovely and I had fun giving swimsuits to other girls and then having them model it for me. I guess its too much "fashion" oriented with a Barbie doll 'dress em up' feel for guys but I have so far logged over 90 hours on the game and can still break it out and enjoy it. Its good stuff.

Speaking of Caveman games, I remember that title too as well as the Snoopy Olympics (or whatever it was called). That thing was HARD and probably considered "Bad" but I really loved it.

[DenisDFat]

1. kabuki quantum Fighter is not crappy

2. doa anything is

3. Snoopy Silly Sports Spectacular is a spectacular game

[cruelboydeath]

for the people arguing over Halo...i ask: Have you ever played a masterpiece game called "Tribes: Aerial Assault" for PS2 or "Tribes 2" for PC? no offense but DUH! GREATNESS

Guilty pleasure: Rampage World Tour and The Bouncer until I realized that it was over....i'd honestly add FFX to the list because for some strange reason after putting 132 hours in it and beating everyone of the last bosses w/ one hit and happily finishing the game...now that I think about it, I realize why it took me a good 20 hours to even start to like that game. FFVIII was def. awesome...card game had me addicted and if you took the time to really understand the GF system...it was pretty damn innovative and cool.

[Ben_F]

i can play the game Caveman Games for NES for hours and hours. Its just button pushes but your alway trin to break your records

It hurts me just to think about that game again. I literally just twinged.

Cant believe I actually blew money on this + Festers Quest like 8 years ago.

[MyChemicalLullaby]

X-men and Spiderman: Arcade's Revenge for SNES. Best worst game ever!

[Santorum X]

Disaster Report. Frequent slowdowns, weak graphics, cheezy dialogue, no music, can't run for long periods of time without water. Even with all of these flaws this game rulez! Most people can't stand this game because it's slow and you're just walking around, similar to Shenmue. But the concept is what dragged me in. It may not be for everybody, but I think it's cool. Oh yeah, Shenmue is awesome too.

[HomieGFunk03]

I love the bloody roar games. They aren't deep or involved or balanced but they are a ton of fun. It's the most fun I've ever had button mashing. I really hope they port 4 to the GC.

[DriftChamp]

Legend of Alon Dar for PS2 - Horrible voice acting, the most unlikeable characters, and pointless side quests. Despite all that, I thought the game was fun. Probably because it's one of the very few 2-player simultaneous RPG-ish games.

[dinovelvet]

I picked up Blade II for the Xbox when it was $9.99 at Best Buy, and it was bloody good fun (bloody being the key word here). It had at least one "holy $#!&" moment in it, when I was in the vampire nightclub and I activated the "rage" or sword power or whatever it is, and I slashed through about 100 vampires in 10 seconds. Finished it in about a week but it was good value for money.
And I also nominate Minority Report, nobody seemed to like this but it was a decent beat-em-up/platform game IMHO. Of course I didn't pay $50, but still...

[Grave_Addiction]

Most of the older games will be Dreamcast games because that's mostly what I've been playing when I need the old-school fix.

One of my guilty pleasures is Time Stalkers. Yeah, it isn't the flashiest game out there, you lose all your levels after beating a dungeon and the graphics suck, but for some reason, I just like playing this game.

Another one is Omikron the Nomad Soul. This game really wanted to be epic, but if you let yourself get into the game, I think it's pretty fun. The control sucks pretty bad, but I like all the different things to do in the game.

Maken X is another one that's fun as hell. It's basically a first-person hack and slash and you can hijack people's bodies.

[bluenatas09]

Snoopy Olyimpics for NES...I'm not even sure if thats the real name of the game but I spent many hours with friends playing that game...

[AlbinoNinja]

Simpsons Hit and Run and Road Rage.

I know they are just rip offs of much better games, but if you forget about those, and just enjoy the one-liners/colorful graphics, you'll have a descent time.
It also doesn't hurt to love the simpsons.

[magilacudy]

I used to play Codename Eagle with my friends for hours. Unfortunately half that time was spent reloading the game after it crashed. There was no other game like it at the time.

More recently, I've been playing Batman Rise of Sin Tzu. I like the art direction of the game, it's like being in an episode of the cartoon.

[projecteightysix]

hook for snes haha. i loved that game when i was little.

[Skylander7]

<------- look at my Avatar. That game. I still play it sometimes. Worms Armageddon rules (and is even better multiplayer)

[MorbidAngel4Life]

spider

This game rules!

I love that game. I still play it when I get the chance.

[dcfox]

I'm embarrased to say but, Yu-Gi-Oh! games are my guilty pleasure. I played the Forbidden Memories on the PS1 to death. And the first game I bought for my gba was Eternal Duelist. I have the PS2 game Duelist of the Roses and I'm waiting for the price to drop on Falsebound Kingdom :oops:

[thestuff]

Legend of Zelda for the NES, I know most people hate this game...


Well, I hear alot more people talk about the second one. Which I absolutly love. It is one of my favorite games of all time. Although, they did just release it on the gameboy, so it cant be that hated.

[xzafixz]

I played, completed and enjoyed P.N. 03. Apparently not many people can say the same.

[dnt_h8me2]

Fuzion Frenzy & State of Emergency

[Plumberboy]

Yeah, I haven't read too many negative reviews regarding the first Zelda, but Zelda II: The Adventure of Link seems to strike a chord with the nay sayers. However, I too really enjoyed Zelda II.

Yeah I was never a big fan of Zelda 2 but I found it very unique and for that reason I'm glad they make it.

[Weedy649]

I think many people didnt really answer the question well...Crappy games you enjoyed. Not games that werent recieved well that you like regardless. I dont care what anyone says about Luigi's Mansion, just because its short doesnt make it crappy, just short. Simpsons Hit and Run got great reviews and most everyone i know who played it liked it(and how many people you know that dont like the Simpsons?) To say FFVIII is a crappy game is ridiculus. Sure some people didnt like it...but it wasnt crappy. My definition of a crappy game that some people liked is Enter the Matrix. The game really is crappy, it has bugs all over(my friends new version froze all the time) getting stuck in places things like that, that makes a game crappy. Bad Boys for ps2 and xbox, horrible from everyone i know who has played it but some actually enjoyed just messing around in it although its dumb. Tomb Raider:Angel of Darkness, full of bugs as well but some love it.
I have heard quite a few people complain about Disgaea but that doesnt mean im going to say its a crappy game i enjoyed..there are more than enough people to prove it otherwise. Every game gets hate(minus Halo and GTA because they are engulfed in their hype) so name more games that have real issues aside from opinion. Even if you love the Matrix you have to admit that game was full of bugs.

As for my pick..Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for PS2. I love tmnt but hearing them say something everyhit makes me want to turn them into turtle soup! Tne fact that it was repetitve and only 2 players blowed too. Still through quite a bit of it with my gf and enjoyed it.

I love Enter the Matrix. Fun game from where I stand. Mine never froze up or glitched at all.

[ryan838]

I like Dave Mirra for DC and Dave Mirra 2 for xbox. Both are pretty glitchy and not as polished as the Tony Hawk series but I still enjoyed playing them. I also really like Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 for DC despite the slow down and repetitive play. Lastly I like playing Home Alone 2 for gameboy even though I can beat the whole game while taking a dump.

[dcfox]

I wanted to like ETM so much, but there was just too many things holding it down. But I do have to say when everything comes together cleanly, that game is sorta fun to play.

One game I didn't like that was got great reviews, was Simpsons Hit & Run. The idea of GTA like Simpsons game sounds great on paper but it was executed horribly. The missions were boring and repetitive. The story was lame. And character models were down right fugly. For some reason the Simpsons don't translate well into 3-D. I actually liked Road Rage much better than Hit & Run even though it wasn't as well received.

[MorbidAngel4Life]

I liked the fighting in the game. The combat engine was pretty good. And it was fun to run along walls.

I particularly enjoyed using focus to execute the take down moves. If they only got the camera right I could almost look past all the other bugs. Its just sad they took time to put all these cool moves in and half the time you can't even see yourself.

Yeah the camera was pretty bad in that game. I will say that. I did like the hacking minigame though. It was fun, if not time consuming.

[GuilewasNK]

One I liked that some people hated was Critical Depth on the PS One. It was made by the same guys who did Twisted Metal 2. The graphics were crap but the idea of an underwater Twisted Metal was cool to me. Nothing beats a submarine shaped like a shark!
http://www.playersc.com/critical1.jpg

[chickenhawk]

I actually really enjoyed The Hulk for PS2. Very simple and straight forward but I loved just destroying everything in sight. A guilty pleasure for sure. Plus it's nice to get a break from the Contra's and Maximo's of the world.

[msdmoney]

I thought the Hulk was a decent beat em up as well, the stealth scenes sucked though.

I actually really enjoyed Roadkill. It got slammed for overusing profanity, but I thought the rest of the game was decent overall. I like car combat/exploration games like that, reminded me of exploring Twisted Metal 2 back in the day, but without time limits.

[Rozz]

Sonic 3D Blast. In my opinion, that is the second best Sonic game ever, right behind Sonic 2.

[The Shiznit]

Simpsons Hit and Run and Road Rage.

I know they are just rip offs of much better games, but if you forget about those, and just enjoy the one-liners/colorful graphics, you'll have a descent time.
It also doesn't hurt to love the simpsons.

I love hit and run

[SlyDog]

I would have to say FF7 and Halo 2

[tyecko]

Pac-Man World 2, I bought this at a $5 sale but I actually ended up liking it, I mean I don't love it or anything but I do think it's a good game.

[hiccupleftovers]

hook for snes haha. i loved that game when i was little.

Wow..This one took me back. I remeber that one. I never really thought it was that crappy. It was pretty fun back in the day.

[ViolentLee]

Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge

Nice Simpsons reference, yo.

I loved Everblue 2, and I think I'm the only one who gave it a good review score on gamerankings.

I liked Blood Will Tell, not because it's an amazing action game, but because I dig the story. Most other people rated it bad.

I also think Britney's Dance Beat is relatively fun, as I'm a sucker for rhythm games.

<------- look at my Avatar. That game. I still play it sometimes. Worms Armageddon rules (and is even better multiplayer)

I can't get mine to work anymore :( , my cd-rom drive refuses to recongize the cd whenever I try to install it.
