What's the worst review score you've ever seen?
 
Any game applies here. On a 0-10 ranking scale, how close have you ever seen a game get a review so bad that it was at or approaching a 0 review?

The closest I ever saw would have to be some paintball game that got a .7 - Worthless from IGN.

Discuss -- please!

DAMN iNATOR 05-03-2007 12:01 PM

Actually just found it through a search on IGN. It was called (get this...) Extreme Paintbrawl:nono:. \/

I think I've seen a 0 in GameInformer or EGM.

W:eek:W! How long ago was it if you recall, and if you recall what was/were the game(s)?

Some Playstation mag (Play, maybe) a few years ago gave Jet Ion Grand Prix a 1/10, there's also Big Rigs: Off the Road Racing's 1.0 on Gamespot.


PapaGeorgio 05-03-2007 12:48 PM

Pimp My Ride for 360 got a 2.9 from IGN. Review is pretty rofl.

I don't remember exactly. It was maybe two or three years ago. It may have been a PS2 title.

The worst rated game on gamespot right now.

Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing for PC

1.0 Abysmal

My Final Heaven 05-03-2007 12:59 PM

One of the EGM reviewers gave Mortal Kombat Advance a 0.5/10. I remember he said it was "one of the most uplayable things he's ever played, & there was no way Midway beta-tested it before they sent it out." lol

Blitz 05-03-2007 01:20 PM

Yeah definitely MKA.

Silent 05-03-2007 02:33 PM

Superman 64 got a really low score from EGM, I'm not sure if it was lower then MKA though.

Funky Fly 05-03-2007 04:28 PM

Superman 64 had the lowest rating from EGM for years until another game (possibly MKA) beat it.

Blitz 05-03-2007 05:58 PM

Yeah MKA beat it, pretty sure. I think there was another game that got a 0.0 score, but I don't think it beat MKA's average of 0.5.

Silent 05-03-2007 07:12 PM

Wasn't the 0.0 game some chat thing for the DS or something?

Xero 05-03-2007 07:33 PM

Maybe it was.

Ping Pals? Like Pictochat, but you have to pay for it.

DAMN iNATOR 05-03-2007 07:56 PM

Hmm...seems strange, especially if you're referring to the hardware that comes built into each DS (the WiFi chat or whatever it is)...to me that just seems like it'd be a N/A, not "0-10 rank it!" free for all for critics, but because I asked in the first place I digress.:p

The one included on DS is called Pictochat. Some company released a DS "Game" similiar to that called Ping Pals. From what I recall you could like change the background for text, thing you could talk to the computer or something.

Here is the IGN review http://www.tpww.net/forums/newreply....eply&p=1716632 to busy to read it, watching office and commercial break just ended.

PapaGeorgio 05-03-2007 08:55 PM

Just recalled another. Elf Bowling 1 & 2 on the DS. IGN gave it 1.0 in every category. Closing comments are as follows, "Look, these Nintendo DS games even lack the ability to actually quit the action back to the main menu, which shows just how much effort went into these ports. Hint: it wasn't much. It's a single-chuckle joke that's extended into a 20 dollar purchase. And once that laugh is expelled, you're left two of the crappiest games ever developed on the Nintendo DS platform. Merry Christmas." Basically some flash game that you could play online transfered to the DS.

Just go to something Awful.com. They rate all the worst games ever, and the highest score a game can get is a -1.
