The worst video game ever?

Don't forget the almost all the recent ones sucked. :P
Not trying to start a fanboy war but Sonic 06, and maybe if we count shadow the hedgehog and secret rings as sucky games... that´s 3 "bad" games. That´s not what you could call "almost all of them". Sure there are controversial opinions about some games with new formulas like unleashed and black knight (I myself don´t like the "keep the boost button pressed until a QTE pops up" gameplay style of unleashed in the 360 version) but it´s like when people argue about how they like or dislike a certain entry of the mario kart games, to name an example... you can prefer MKWii´s frenetic races and item ratio or the more skill oriented 2-d MK games but they are all good. Except that the Sonic fanbase argues about every little aspect, and the fact that there are a lot of people biased against Sonic doesn´t help either.
'K, I don't even play Sonic games, I just know some big fans (e.g Uniju and some others) think the new games suck. :P
 
Zelda II was horrible, they should have never made it like a side-scroller.

The Mario Party series in general are pretty bad games, too.

Zelda 2 was sorta lame, but sidescrolling Zelda games are not necessarily bad. The 2D parts of Link's Awakening kicked ass.

I think the only good parts of Zelda II were "I AM ERROR" and how cool looking the bosses are. Other than that, it's pretty annoying. :P

AIRCARS

Seanbaby's review:

To keep an evil organization from taking over the world, your spies have stolen the secret plans for a nuclear AIRCAR. I think there was a mixup, though; and instead of stealing the plans for a supercar from a top secret agency, it looks like they stole the plans for a bathtub from a top secret waste basket.

The game is especially challenging since your top secret AIRCAR turns around slower than a team of Amish pilots steering a barn, and you usually don't get a chance to see an enemy tank before it's laser gun has had its way with your ass. Also, AIRCARS don't have brakes, so once you start accelerating, your only chance of survival is quickly putting in a different game. A typical AIRCARS adventure is you careening out of control through trees and waiting for your clumsy rolling bathtub to explode. If you are lucky enough to get an enemy tank in your sights, chances are you won't be able to stop before most of that tank has crashed through your windshield and landed on your lap. It's not much of a game, but maybe stuntment could one day use it as a virtual falling-down-the-stairs simulator.

That gray thing is either highly realistic smoke or the enemy tank had gray boulders for lunch and I shot the part of it that lets it keep control of its bowels.

Graphics: 0/10
It might surprise you that in a game this finely-tuned and complex, the graphics are quite bad. I think that a good portion of the seven or eight hours it took to make AIRCARS was spent devising that whole plot about stealing secret tank plans.

Fun: 1/10
If you're lucky enough to injure an enemy AIRCAR, the game tries to make it look hurt by having it leak a trail of smoke. At least I think it's supposed to be smoke. Thanks to the Atari Jaguar's amazing graphic capabilities and the amazing mental disabilities of the AIRCARS staff, half-destroyed tanks leak out a trail of giant gray balls. So don't be alarmed if you're playing the game and the evil government's tanks start laying eggs.

State-of-the-Art 3D Realism: 0/10
A lot of 3D games have been called "breath-taking and immersive" or more faggily, "a vast virtual wonderland." If you went back in time and killed all the people necessary to keep every single one of those games from ever existing, your lowered standards would still consider AIRCARS unbelievably shitty.
