What were some games you liked and played as a kid back then, that scored poorly

Going through my game collection here on GS, just reminiscing on some old games i used to play a lot - I see some of them that were scored fairly poorly.

Of course back then we wouldn't notice these things, we'd love a James Bond game just because it was James Bond. Considering I rarely get a game that scores less than an 8, these were some surprises.

List off a few, here's some I liked and the score GameSpot gave each.

- Tomorrow Never Dies (PS) 5.7

- Cool Boarders 2 (PS) - 6.5

- Driver (PS) 7.7

- South Park (The granddaddy) (PS) 1.0

- Street Fighter EX2 Plus (PS) - 7.6

- Syphon Filter 2 (PS) - 6.6

- Xmen Mutant Academy (PS) - 6.4

N64

Clayfighter 63 1/3 - 3.1

Gauntlet Legends - 4.3

Army Men Sarge's Heros - 4.2

PS1

Fighting Force - 5.3

Wu Tang: Shaolin Style - 5.2

Most of these are two old for a GS score...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)

Ballz (Genesis)

Beavis and Butthead (Genesis)

Booger Man (Genesis)

RandPC

yea guardian legend is the most ridiculously hardest game ive ever played, especially when the screen has like 50 enemies on it at the same time(exageration but alot of enemies moving really fast) plus it requires utmost concentration and quick reflexes. its just an amazing game imo, i havent found a game that could beat it. i will continue to play it until my NES dies which hopefully doesnt happen

Keio Flying Squadron 2 (Saturn)

Scored around 6-7/10, I guess. Anyone know that game? I think it's a pretty entertaining 2D jump n run with sweet japanese-esque visuals.

batman forever genesis

the controls were alot different than snes

I thought Batman Returns for the SNES was a surprisingly well movie-to-game adaption.

For games that actually got a score on GS:

Legend of the Dragoon on PS, the Battletanx games on the N64, and Mario Kart 64. I'm sure there were others though.

gauntlet dark legacy for xbox got a 5.1

Bomberman 64 i belive got a 4.6

Shaq Fu (Genesis)

Hidlyde (NES)

Looking back, both games are horrible, however I still occasionally enjoy playing Hidlyde.

super mario bros. and raiden (arcade)hurriflash

What? When? Got 8.3 on the Wii over 20 years after it's original release. Oh wait, this about the gba rerelease? Still don't think it counts though.

legend of dragoon and suikoden 2. two of my all time favorite game playing experiences that got very mediocre scores here.

Gosh, tons, but I still like them if for nothing else the nostalgia, sometimes I can legitamately have fun with them to this day.

Glover for N64, I still enjoy this game. It was just... different.

Incoming for Dreamcast, Got bombarded with mediocre reviews for the repetativeness, but I enjoyed it.

Pac man 2 for genesis, more or less because it was a christmas present from my parents.

Dynamite cop for dreamcast, scored mid to low scores, sequal to Die Hard arcade, def. gets old for me, but once in a while I love to play it.

Kao the Kangaroo for dreamcast, scored poorly I remember playing the demo and loving it and I haven't played it in a few years, but these games always get me.

Sonic Shuffle, hard as hell, but I've had quite a bit of fun playing it over the years.

Bomberman for the N64, Army Men series for N64,
