Top 20 Worst PlayStation Games of All Time

greatness awaits but not here welcome to watchmojo.com for this list we'll be looking at the absolute worst games to ever grace Sony's beloved console across all its generations both exclusives and non exclusives alike the power of PlayStation definitely isn't with these titles number 20 Blair Star Wars fans and gamers in general have a lot of fond memories involving factor fives rogue squadron series players were placed in the cockpit of various iconic ships from the Star Wars series and the results was just a lot of action-packed high-flying fun unfortunately all the goodwill towards factor 5 from their previous work seemingly evaporated when they released this extremely disappointing game in 2007 for the ps3 meant to show the strength of the consoles sixaxis motion controls players take to the skies atop a dragon and a third person flight set up that you'd think would play to the studio strengths but broken motion controls make for a frustrating experience reviewers were even given reviewers guide as a form of damage control which just added fuel to the fire that was the game's release [Music] number 19 Rugby World Cup 2015 sports games are big business with most major franchises getting yearly iterations that not only update the graphics and gameplay but player rosters and settings with the pressure to push out new entries it shouldn't be surprising that developers occasionally let a half-finished product out the door this entry in particular is thought to have been rushed to the market to coincide of the 2015 Rugby World Cup [Applause] detective death suffice it to say the game's lack of polishing becomes evident almost immediately on top of the numerous bugs the game features outdated game playing graphics no online features to speak of and a serious lack of licensed players and stadiums making it feel more like a cheap ripoff than a legitimate licensed product [Applause] number 18 kung-fu Rider thanks to the phenomenal success of Nintendo Wii in 2006 other videogame companies were quick to jump on the motion control bandwagon Playstations attempt was a PlayStation Move a motion control system released in 2009 designed specifically to work with the move controller this 2010 game tasks players with navigating the streets of Hong Kong in an office chair avoiding obstacles and fighting enemies as was often the problem with early motion control games it's nearly impossible to control the characters effectively the gameplay experience is best described as a whole lot of frustrated controller waggling and inevitable ragequitting we imagine more than a few Move controllers got thrown across the room along the way number 17 Sonic the Hedgehog Sega's lovable blue hedgehog has survived a number of PR disasters over the years from terrible games to that terrifying initial design for the live-action Sonic movie but this 2006 entry into the franchise is widely regarded as his lowest point [Music] a half-finished buggy frustrating mess of a game it's played with interminable load times and questionable story choices the game is still a sore spot for the Sonic fandom and gamers in general even if you can get Sonic to sprint successfully through the game's unintuitive and bug addled levels the relationship between the definitely humanoid Princess Elise and the anthropomorphised animal hero will make you wish you hadn't [Music] number 16 Beverly Hills Cop it's hard to not get excited about revisiting a beloved movie franchise be it on the big screen or in the form of a game but this 2006 video game adaptation on the ps2 quickly had fans convinced that Beverly Hills Cop was better left in the past based on the classic film series starring Eddie Murphy the game turns Axel Foley's adventures into a dull and lifeless first-person shooter players awkwardly glide around environments gunning down enemy after enemy in a joyless shooting gallery with none of the charm and comedy of the film series maybe this experience would be worth it if they'd actually gotten eddie murphy back for some snappy dialogue buddies nowhere to be seen number 15 godzilla [Music] we here at WatchMojo love us some Godzilla but not even our enduring affection for cinemas favorite kaiju can blind us to this game's glaring shortcomings a 3d fighting game and the spirit of older Godzilla games like Godzilla save the earth and destroy all monsters melee this entry feels more like a shadow of games past than a fresh start the graphics are dated in the gameplay is a monotonous procession of slow-paced battles that feel more like shoving matches than the epic brawls they should have been it's also critically lacking when it comes to length and features and you can experience everything the game has to offer in just a few short hours has gone down number 14 rug warrior you'd think that a game where mickey rourke voices the main character and spends most of its spouting out over-the-top profanity would be a good time but despite its bafflingly blue main character this is one of the most miserable experiences the ps3 has to offer here comes the pain based on the exploits of real-life Navy SEAL Richard Marcinko the game has players infiltrate North Korea leaving bodies and muttered curses in their wake a short and barely functional tactical shooter the only thing that makes the game even remotely amusing is Rourke's vocal performance as Marcinko most of which we can't even replay for you due to the excessive profanity good lord man cooldown present for Admiral Peyton tell them it's evidence for the defense in my court-martial you got it number 13 umbrella corpse the Resident Evil franchise has seen dark days and we're not just talking about the zombie outbreaks this spin-off is a far cry from the tent survival horror of the main franchise with a heavier emphasis on squad based action ala Call of Duty or Rainbow six we're not opposed to franchises breaking away from the established formula but if you're going to experiment at least do it well this entry doesn't offer anything new for anybody who's played a squad based shooter before and really only succeeded in alienating fans of the core franchise Capcom did you learn nothing from operation Raccoon City number 12 The Simpsons skateboarding nice boardslide nose rhyme brooken fly this is one of those ideas it seems great on paper Springfield's favorite skateboarding bad boy in a Tony Hawk style skating game sounds like a winning formula right well as appealing as the concept was the game that hit the store shelves was a pretty severe wipeout lunch Bryan while players get to take Bart skateboarding through Springfield it's with a bare-bones arsenal of skate tricks and frustrating unresponsive controls the graphics are also downright hideous with awkward models that fail to convincingly translate the characters into 3d the Treehouse of Horror episode where Homer stumbles into the third dimension had better graphics and that came out seven years earlier than this game number 11 Fantastic Four [Music] video game graphics still had a long way to go back in 1997 but the hardware the first PlayStation console was definitely capable of better than what we got here this side-scrolling beat-em-up puts players in the shoes of Marvel's first family to punch kick stretch and burn their way through evildoers but you can only do that if you can first manage to figure out what the heck is happening on screen the muddy lo-fi visuals can make brawls with large groups of confusing mess made all the more bewildering by the soundtrack which well just listen [Music] doesn't exactly feel like a fit for one of Marvel's most respected superhero teams huh number 10 Mortal Kombat Special Forces another game that fell completely on its face while doing it this genre attempted to transplant mortal kombat character Jackson Jax Briggs into a Metal Gear Solid style stealth um up and wound up as the worst things to ever have the Mortal Kombat name attached too bad you will die okay one of the worst things originally meant to include both jax and sonya blade the game's extremely troubled development led it to being released in an unfinished state with glitchy gameplay and massive holes in the story not exactly what you'd call a flawless victory this was actually nearly a finish him moment for the MK franchise number nine Charlie's Angels do we even need to say anything just look at this mess based on the movie franchise of the same name itself based on the classic 70s TV show this ps2 tile has become infamous not just as a terrible movie tie-in game but a terrible game period this should already be obvious from the footage you're seeing but this game is downright hideous with the stretched inhuman character models lopping around like something out of a nightmare gameplay is equally dreadful with repetitive moves and poor collision detection two things you absolutely do not want and a third person beat them up [Music] number eight aliens colonial Marines [Music] one of the most disastrous game releases of the seventh console generation aliens colonial marines drew the ire of both critics and fans of the film franchise buggy to an almost ridiculous degree the games busted AI reduces a legendary Xenomorphs a typically terrifying and nearly unstoppable foe into shambling brainless creatures waiting to get shot [Music] as we eventually learned this was actually the result of a typo in the games code that literally broke the enemy AI unfortunately that was far from the only issue the story was bland and inconsistent with the franchise while the visuals felt extremely unpolished though it initially sold well terrible reviews and widespread disappointment with the finished product quickly torpedoed the game's reputation is this gonna work it'll work how do you know you lost a girl too right yeah me too it has to work number seven The Mummy Returns [Music] kind of like movies based on games video games based on movies do not have a great track record they're often rushed through production so they can be released alongside the movie which often leads to a product that either feels unpolished or outright unfinished while the tie-in to the second mummy film is at least playable it's also a short and rather dull affair that feels more stale than a centuries-old mummy [Music] players get to take control of here a Rick O'Connell or fun little twist the villainous mummy I'm hope tip but apart from that one novelty and it boasting decent visuals for a 2001 release The Mummy Returns has little to offer gamers or fans of the movies number six Tony Hawk's Pro Skater five we cannot count the hours we spent perfecting our virtual skating abilities in the earlier installments of this once beloved franchise but when gamers pop Pro Skater five into their Playstations no amount of nostalgia could save it despite coming out on the ps4 the game's graphics look almost a full generation behind and the game systems and controls are fundamentally broken it immediately becomes clear that it's about a slapdash in shaadi a release as you can get from an established franchise tough it out in these boring levels long enough and you may find the odd moment of fun only for one of the game's countless glitches to bring it to a screeching halt number five Barbie Explorer the world's favorite fashion doll has had countless jobs over the years and evidently one of them was a globe-trotting Explorer in video game form but Tomb Raider this ain't a janky and joyless platformer the game looks like an unlicensed crash bandicoot mod with all the fun ripped out players navigate Barbie through dull environments wrestling with the controls the entire way through the game charges you with locating priceless artifacts but the real challenge is managing to find anything about the gameplay in the face of its many technical failings Barbie fans and gamers alike should avoid this one number 4 Little Britain the video game for the uninitiated Little Britain is a sketch comedy show that debuted in 2000 and helped launch the careers of creator stars Matt Lucas and David Walliams if you're wondering how and why this warrants a video game adaptation well join the club not only can we not figure out how this game got made we simultaneously can't figure out how it could possibly be this bad essentially a collection of minigames presented like an episode of the show the game takes players through a collection of brief and incredibly simple challenges modeled after sketches and characters from the series even by ps2 standards the graphics are incredibly dated and the humor almost always fails to land magazines like this I am the only gay in this village and that's out number three bubsy 3d the transition from 2d to 3d graphics and games was kind of like the transition from silent films to talkies some people survived it and others didn't while Mario slipped into his new 3d world with Grace and ease 2d platformer character bubsy the Bobcat lost many of his nine lives struggling to make the same jump [Music] bub sees 3d debut looks more like a tech demo or a very early work in progress with a titular Bobcat running and jumping through fields of untextured polygons that could only charitably be called levels the 3d platforming is a nightmare to control making the game not only hideous but nearly impossible to actually play [Music] number two life of black tiger when we think of games that can make full use of the PlayStation 4's graphical capabilities ports of phone games are not what comes to mind originally released for free on iOS and Android this game is part of a series that puts players in the paws of wild animals for mobile games they're fine boring graphically primitive but serviceable but badly ported on to the PlayStation 4 and given a $10 price tag who are you kidding Sony maybe maybe if the game had actually been polished and given high res textures a whole lot of QA testing and bug fixes and better localization it would almost be worth the time and money but as is it's downright offensive before we unveil our topic here are a few dishonorable mentions that I'm sure PlayStation would love for you to forget motorcycle-club PlayStation 4 for hurting our ears Leisure Suit Larry box office bust PlayStation 3 4 unrepentant sleaze hand yourself in kit a me PlayStation 3 for basically being one long escort mission the guy game PlayStation 2 for being sleazier than Leisure Suit Larry want more video game content check out our gaming channel mojo plays and discover games and ideas who never knew existed with more lists breakdowns in our latest series arcade roulette Justin and John are in there's a lot of things being ripped off in this game number one ride to hell retribution one of the most legendary bad releases in recent memory this third-person action game for the ps3 will live forever in infamy as one of gaming's darkest moments players take control a biker Jake Conway who must take revenge after his brother is murdered by a rival gang but if you're looking to live out your Sons of Anarchy fantasies look elsewhere the game is a parade of glitches and bugs and plays terribly even when it's running correctly the riding is laughable and the game's portrayal of women is crude and sexist even by the rock bottom standard of most video games no ps3 owners should ever let their console get anywhere near this game while you're at it I'll take the keys in the mood for more
