Gauntlet Legends on N64? I haven't really played it (except a few years ago a coworker busted it out at a party, I would have played all night) since my brother and I played it co-op all the way through as kids, but I remember I looked up reviews for it once in recent years and it got this absurdly low rating. IDK, I thought it was pretty effin' fun and I still remember it fondly.
"I dunno, I guess, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos kinda sucked. I love the music in it though. "
Croc was epic, especially considering it was one of the first ever 3D platformers. I'd also disagree with those saying Vigalante 8. Personally, I thought those games were better than the Twisted Metal series.
While maybe not considered "shit", Zelda II The Adventures of Link is widely considered to be one of the worst in the series, if not the worst. It also happens to be one of my favorite games.
@Asrahn: You're not alone, I freakin' love Interstate '76. I kid you not, I'm listening to the soundtrack right now. Fantastic game - you can get it on GOG.com, you know. Might be worth a look, easier to run on modern machines...and it's Interstae '76.
" Mission Impossible for the N64. Definitely nostalgia glasses goin' on but I enjoyed it. "
Yeah, I really liked that game a lot. Armorines, too.
I think its something to do with being a child and enjoying an experience for what it is. They weren't painfully bad, but they certainly weren't fucking good, either.
Speaking as the top editior on the page, I am thrilled to see that so many people here liked Matrix: Path of Neo (in the case of that game, two additional people is a LOT of people). Yeah, Path of Neo looked horrible even when it came out in 2005, and it tried jumping on the Matrix train years after the Wachowski's and Shiny pissed that franchise down the drain with the rest of the Matrix trilogy, as well as the not-total-ass-but-pandering-and-desperate Enter the Matrix. There was no damn reason for a new Matrix game. But Path of Neo made it onto store shelves, and, lo and behold, it was weird. And not regular weird. I mean good weird. You fought agaist man-sized karate fire ants, and you reenacted fights from the movie in fron of a movie theater that was showing the scene from the movie in question, complete with a snarling fan who insults you and the production the entire time. You take on a gang of Agent Smiths inside the senate chamber. And then.... there's that ending.
When I was a kid I was all over the Gamecube version of Gauntlet: Dark Legacy. Looking back now, that game is pretty awful. Don't have it anymore to check though.
I never understood why it got so much hate....but then again I haven't played it since I was like 13.
For me it's got to be WET...or Viva Pinata, it reviewed well but everyone dismisses it as being a dumb kids game (which it is, but it's still awesome).
EDIT: Dynasty Warriors, N3 and Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom, as well.
" Mainly because of the music. In fact, it was entirely because of the music. "
I bought this on clearance for my Pentium 2 PC a long time ago and realized why it was on clearance, what a shitty fighter!!! This had to be the fastest game I uninstalled ever!
" I will always have a place in my heart for Future Cop LAPD. It makes absolutely no sense, however I can never say no to how much fun I personally had with it. "
Cool, I was just thinking about mentioning this game when I scrolled over your post. It's one of the few games that I played together with my dad. I can still remember before we bought it we used to play the demo of it over and over again, it was the first level and it was timed so we never made it all the way, but we got further and further with each attempt.
In a way it was more fun to play it that way than to play the final version later, but still, one of my favorite co-op games ever. I'd love to see some sort of remake for PSN and XBLM sometime, that would be awesome.
" All I can remember is loving this game to bits, and having my friends hating on it because it was "complicated". "
BLASPHEME! That game was amazing! don't forget about how satisfying it was to get the cars down in the red and pop them out of the side windows with your hand pistol until you you heard, "beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep".
Anyway, i think i've answered this thread before:
Getting Up: Speaking of great soundtracks, the implementation of the music in getting up was amazing. The combat was weak but if you managed to play the game stealthy the parts where you have to tag various spots were a lot of fun and the story is surprisingly good.
ZPC: even i can admit the levels are terrible but i was a huge Aidan Hughes fan so i thought the artwork was amazing. beyond that though, i liked the design of the gun...i thought it was cool to have this single swiss army gun and the psionic push had a nice bubble effect to it. The ending levels of the game, which had you ditch the swiss army gun and use your full on destructive psionic powers made you feel like a baddass...this perspective comes from playing it a long long time ago so anyone jumping in now; results may vary.
There are about 10 seconds distributed throughout this game that are awesome, and the other 6-8 hours "suck so much dick that they now breath spunk instead of air." And yet when I play it, I think about what might have been if it was designed by people who were competent.
Mine would be Trespasser way back when for the PC. I believe it was the first game to ever implement ragdoll physics. I just remember having so much fun using the "freeze dinos" cheat and just patting velociraptors on the head with my freakishly twisted hand.Or finding the tranquilizer gun and thinking i had killed a couple dinos, then having them get back up a minute later and rape me :P

Yes. Oh god damn you MattBodega, now you've just made me go down to my original xbox and play it all over again! Arikfahrktha!
" I bought WAY too many Dynasty Warriors games. Dear god. "

Yes, that picture is accurate. I am a black african woman. No seriously that series is just egregious for adding next to nothing each year. For the record I bought 1 of them.
