Shitty Games That You Thought Rocked

[Toe]

Have you ever seen or heard about a really bad game, and then played it yourself and loved it? Or bought a new release before it was reviewed, loved it, and then saw everyone else shit on it?

My shit game that I loved was Shellshock 67' for the PS2. A Vietnam Third Person Shooter, Shellshock was just incredibly fun for me to play. I loved the setting, thought the graphics were decent and just had a lot of fun with it. Of course, when I went to see what IGN thought, they gave it a 5.8 out of 10.

The True Crime series. Everyone shits on it but I think that both games are pretty good, not in the same league as GTA, fair enough, but enjoyable anyway.

Enter the Matrix... I had fun with it.

[The Kraig]

Rollcage. People hated it, but I loved it.

Freespace 1 and 2. Great games with a great storyline, 40-50ish% on PCGamer

[Turbo Yannis]

The Revenge Of The Sith game was panned by every magazine I read a review in, but I thought it was great.

Mindless, but great.

Rollcage. People hated it, but I loved it.

Rollcage. People hated it, but I loved it.

Was that the racing game from Psygnosis where you could still move if you got flipped? That was awesome, I spent so long on the demo trying to beat the lap time to get into the Official Ps1 magazine competition.

Enter the Matrix (at first) and Rollcage. I loved that game heaps. I'm just sad that i never got the actual game. Another one was Drakengard, why oh why did so many shit on it (damn X-Play)

What was the game called? EG3 racing? With the futuristic motorbikes - like Wipeout...That was a fantastic game.

Most reviewers seemed to give it an average of 6/10 but it was much better than that.

I'm much less likely to take a chance on a game now they cost so much.

I remember days when a game came on cassette and would cost £2.99.

Brilliant.

One of the Army Men series had an alluring multiplayer which me and my mate spent many a time on...:lmao:

[Skummy]

The original Army Men strategy game, I loved. Everything else in the franchise was shite.

I seem to remember OverBoard for PS1 being hated by most of my friends, but I adored it. I wish I still owned that game.

I think I know what game you're talking about and I agree.

There was an RC Helicopter game that I used to have for the Playstation, I've forgotten it's name but it was a blast to play. I spent hours trying to master the controls and when I finally did I kicked all kinds of ass. I lent it out to my friends and they all called it 'bollocks'. I still love it though.

I got EG3 with my Ps2.

It was pretty good.

OverBoard was INCREDIBLE!

With the pirate ship bobbing in the water - top down, firing off your cannons to jaunty piratey music.

Gaming perfection

[ClaRK! Kent]

Overboard for PSX fucking owned.

As did the similarly PSX Agent Armstrong.

I loved FFX-2. I don't care if everybody hated it, I fucking love it.

The James Bond PS2 games, Agent Under Fire and Goldeneye, never really did much. I loved 'em. Shoot 'em ups, with added JAMES BOND COOLNESS~!

And, the massively underrated Star Ocean series, especially 2. Largely got ignored, but it's absolutely freakin' amazing. It's one of my favourite RPGs ever, actually, beating some Final Fantasies.
