Then you've not played many games.

I suggest you try State Of Emergency. Yea. Now that has some of the worst camera work ever.

Neverwinter Night 2 definitely deserves a nomination on this category if not outright wins it.

Someone would expect a RPG to not have much cameras problems as the character isn't moving that fast...but...it appears we expect too much! :P

I don't know about the worse but the cameras in DMC can be frustrating at times....I'm so used to being able to look all around me...it's hard when I can't.

Sonic Adventure doesn't have the worst camera I've ever seen, but it gets honorable mention for getting stuck in the ground... a fair bit. Jiggle it all you want, but the result was always the same, you'd eventually fall through the ground and to your death.

The N64 Goemon has a camera that can get stuck in corners quite easily.

Oh, I could go on...

I hated ninja gaiden's camera. It sits too low and too close. It would have been nice if I could use the right analog to freely adjust it.

Well, when you compare Resident Evil 4 to it's predecessors, it's got a pretty good camera...I'd have to say the old Resident Evil games have the worst cameras.

I think any Resident Evil before RE4 had terrible camera angles. Mind you that didn't stop them from being awesome games, but the camera angles definitely sucked at least half of the time.

By no means did Assassin's Creed have the worst camera, but what doing the counterkills and the like the camera would end up behind a leg or tree a lot of the time. Just got on my nerves.

World in Conflict, Medieval II: Total War, Donkey Kong 64, Super Mario 64

This isn't saying that they're bad games, it's just that their camera & camera controls are as annoying as heck.

If you controlled everything with the mouse, then the camera really isn't much of a problem.
It's still annoying, but it definitely isn't the worst ever.

Phantasy Star Online springs to mind, I think Sonic Team are just completely useless when it comes to implementing a decent camera in their games.

I thought they all had quite camera! Except for MTW2 sometimes when there's a siege battle.

clearly you have played very very very few games. you should also say gears of war if your going to bash re4. why not state that dark sector will have a awful camera angle. why not mention mgs1 or mgs3? why just mgs2???? im guessing you just didnt like the game. sadly it has been proven time and time again, that people who dont like mgs2 are usual to stupid to understand it.

It's still annoying, but it definitely isn't the worst ever.

The only reason you say that, is because you can PAUSE the game until you figure an acceptable compromise to any situation. You shouldn't be pausing the game for another camera adjustment! :P

Heroes of Might and Magic V is also pretty bad, you are playing on a strategic map and you need to turn the camera around all the time to see if 3D arts isn't hiding something you need. 3D =hard on such a gameplay...do it right and get back to 2D, playing a wargame here, not a seek and hide game with Charlie! :P

I think they are both worst here, in their respective section, RPG and TBS. Not talking or considering games which can't achieve a ranking for 5.0 at least however, since these hardly count. A game which rank 8.0 or higher and still having such troubles, you know why it isn't a 9.0.
