"Bad" Games are Still Fun

What "bad" games (meaning low review scores) have you played that you have had a blast with?

Dantes Inferno.

Marvel UA 2.

Too Human, Halo Wars, Dante's Inferno, Alpha Protocol all come to mind. Even if a game receives a low score, doesn't mean it should be ignored.

Ninety-Nine Nights. Amnesiac23

The Dynasty Warriors series, Tenchu Z, Mercenaries 2, Lost Planet 2 and Aliens vs Predator. I had fun with every single one of those games even if they are bad.

Dante's Inferno, Nier (lol @ GS for giving this a 5), Metro 2033, HAWX and Wolfenstein

I have been wanting to try Dante's Inferno. Some games come out and im excited to play but the rating gets low then i never touch em :(. Im thinking about just trying games on my own before i read the score :D

For the 360, I enjoyed Halo Wars quite a bit.

On other consoles: Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, one of my favorite games, gotonly 6 here. Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2 was also pretty fun. Oh yeah, and Tales of the World Radiant Mythology.

- Shadowrun

- Alpha Protocol

- Risen

- Too Human

I loved playing Oneechanbara Bikini samuria warriors

Nier, Turok and Fable 3.

People, a 7 and up aren't bad scores. A 7 on GS is defined as good. Why so many of you are listing 7 games as bad shows the negative mentality of gamers perfectly. "If its not AA its bad", that's lame. A lot of the games you guys are listing are very good ones, this thread is about games worse than a 7 that are still quite fun to play.

As for me, going to have to go with Shadowrun. Seriously one of the most fun online games on the 360, and the only game that I am dumbfounded in regards to its consistently average scores. This game was AWESOME, and it required skill. Don't believe me? This game released in summer of 2007 to very little hype, sold 430k, and was disregarded as mediocre by critics. Despite all this, it retains an online community at any given time of day. You can find a match in seconds. Few games have that kind of staying power, Shadowrun is one of them. Seriously, guys, do yourself a favor and pick this game up. Its $5. That's a happy meal, and you'll be adding to the community by playing. DO IT.

the worst game a have ever played = HALO REACH

I bought Terminator Salvation a couple of weeks ago, it is BAD & NO FUN, or as Trishka from Bulletstorm would say, it reeks of Sunbaked A--hole!

Transformers War For Cybertron got a pretty low score, but i have a blast with that game. Same with Shadowrun, it was very underrated too. but MOST of my games i own are pretty good (at least on the xbox360)

Timeshift, Hour of Victory, Halo Wars (even if above poster says it doesn't count). Despite what Gamespot may say about ratings (labeling a 7 good), a 7.0 is bad. When you were in school, did you want to get all C's?

Aliens vs. predator was fun..a pain in the toosh, but fun

Too Human, Alpha Protocol, Prototype (though that game did get slightly better reviews than the others).

Splatterhouse. I played the game twice in a row and had a blast with it.

I heard Dante's Inferno is underrated.mohfrontline

It is.

But see, I picked up Dark Void on Amazon for $2.50.

That game got a low review score and it's just straight up not fun.

What do ya'll think of Dark Void?

Dante's Inferno.

Love that game. Hate the second one though.

That's personal opinion, though. Like me, for example. I think Oblivion was pretty bad, but it's a highly rated game. Not trying to start an argument though, but I'm just saying he's entitled to that.

To be honest? All of them. Whenever I have spare cash(and that isn't hard when they are two dollars) I buy a ton of "bad" games from a few years back. One of them being Cliver Barkers Jericho. It got a 6.5 on Gamespot, but for a few bucks, I definetly had a blast with it. It was a really cool concenpt, these people with super powers being part of CIA or w.e hunting down this monster. I don't think any game is truely bad. I think it was a great game, but only for the price. I wish they would put discounts on "bad" games.

It is.

Actually, it isn't so underrated.

I mean I got all achievements for it and everything and well the game really shines only in circles 1-5, 6-9 are pretty mediocore. I had fun with it but the replay value and the story are both very weak. I got it because I enjoyed the poem(or whatever its properly named) and it wasn't similar really.

Nevertheless, I'm glad to see shadowrun get some compliments. The game actually requires skill and its completely original.

Bad games are only fun when you didn't pay 50+ dollars for them.

Regardless of your opinion, the game by majority is underrated and vastly revered as a ripoff....which it isn't. It's also good for a second playthrough.

I paid $60 for Dante's Inferno, and had fun with it.

Dante's Inferno was probably the most underatted game ever.

Another would be Leisure Suit Larry : Box Office Bust (nah im just kidding that game is really bad)

No, I mean that the game deserves its mediocore ratings

agreed

Mercenaries 2, Lost Planet 2 VanillaFella

And I disagree with Dante's Inferno being good for a second playthrough.

Most people will find themselves wanting to play just to see what the next circle of Hell will look like; subsequently, after an entire playthrough its hard to push yourself to complete the game again.

Its just not one of those games that you beat and think, "Gee I can't wait to do this again."

Of course, I'm basing this off my experience, my brothers and some friends that I let borrow the game.

Not everyone is the same and I know that...8)
