1. I think we have done this before, but I wanted to do it again.
2. I know many people are ambivelent about scores.

But anyway, what is the lowest rated game in your collection and does it deserve the score GS gave it? To do this, go to your Games tab and then click on the GS Score header.

Mine is the recently mentioned Bowling from Agetec. It received a 2.3 Terrible.

If I were to review it, I'd give it a 5.0-5.3. It is a servicable game, it does what it advertises and can be mildly entertaining.

Through some Gamespot glitch Space Channel Five Part 2 (PS2) is listed as having a rating of 0.0. That could be because they do not list the US version, just the Japanese version. But that would be the technically wrong lowest score on a game I have.

That for me would probably be either Nam (which I actually like a lot) or WWII GI (which wasn't bad, either).

Nam for the PC 4.0 Poor or Shellshock: Nam '67 5.4 ?

WWII GI was not rated.

I've got some beauties...

-Kiss Pinball-1.3...that's about as low as it gets, right?
-Chicago Enforcer-2.7
-Q*Bert-3.7
-Three at 3.9

In all, I have 28 games that GameSpot rated below 6.0.  I have truly earned my splattered tomato emblem.

hmmm.... let's see... my lowest official GS review rating is "Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22" with a score of 1.2 which I fully agree with, we got the worst 2 DBZ games ever made in the PS1/Saturn era... I don't get why we didn't get one of the 15 good ones or one of the 14 mediocre ones...

My lowest is Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi, which I actively hunted down to buy. I completely agree with its 4.4 rating, but it's still worth a laugh.

Space Channel 5 Part 2 on PS2 at 0.0, and Puzzle Bobble VS for the DS at 1.4 are my lowest.  I like Space Channel 5, but since I don't know the actual score, I can't agree with it.  As for Puzzle Bobble, I haven't played it.  It was one of the "N-Gage games are $2? Yee-hah!" purchases.

I know what you mean about NAM (Duke Nukem 3D total conversion) I actually really liked that game and played through the whole thing, but I thought I was the only one. And it's also the lowest rated game I own. I also have WWII GI.

Dragonball Z Ultimate Battle 22 for me. Second place goes to Dragonaball GT: Final Bout. I agree with both scores, the games suck.

No, Nam.  Unless Postal was rated lower (and I hated that game).

It used to be Tetris Worlds for the GBA at 2.1, but I got rid of the game.  Never used it other than the initial play 5 years ago.  Seriously, Tetris for the Gameboy was more fun.

As it currently stands, Bubble Bobble Revolution (DS) is the lowest at 3.6.  I'd argue that the game deserves lower.  I have no tolerance for a game that contains a bug (level 30 boss won't appear) that renders the game unbeatable 100% of the time in all copies of the game.  Bleh!!

Through some Gamespot glitch Space Channel Five Part 2 (PS2) is listed as having a rating of 0.0. That could be because they do not list the US version, just the Japanese version. But that would be the technically wrong lowest score on a game I have.
aspro73


Using GameSpot's review system, a 0.0 would be technically impossible.  The lowest possible score is 1.0.  I'd say its a mistake.

Mine are: Doom 64 (N64) @ 4.8 Hexen (N64) and Dark Rift (N64) @ 5.0 I would have to pretty much agree with those scores. All 3 are extremely mediocre at best.

South Park: Chef's Luv Shack at 3.9, (Dreamcast) I never realized how many bad games I own until I checked for my worst.KlownMaster
I don't think the scoreing is fair, it should be removed and replaced with "personally reccomend" and "don't personally reccomend" that way it'll stay a statistacal analisys and if not you'll know it's an opinion not a fact.

Thread necromancy. Love it. This one's from before my time :D

And so - even though I take GS reviews with a pinch of salt (a topic for another day) and most things pre-N64/PS1 have no score anyway - here's all mine under 5.0:

Dragonball: Final Bout (PS) - 3.3 (I didn't think it was that bad)

Mortal Kombat 4 (GBC) - 3.5 (worst port I've ever seen)

Descent to Undermountain (PC) - 3.7 (mistake to try an RPG using the Descent engine, but again not that bad)

Gauntlet Legends (PS) - 3.9 (only picked it up yesterday, seems pretty bad though)

Hybrid Heaven (N64) - 4.1 (I don't care what anyone says, I like it)

Resident Evil Survivor (PS) - 4.1 (again only picked up yesterday, but it's an RE lightgun shooter so how bad can it be?)

Lands of Lore III (PC) - 4.3 (bad and broken)

18 Wheeler (GC) - 4.6 (only yesterday, 20 minutes says it sucks)

SimCity 2000 (GBA) - 4.9 (another one from yesterday, a poor port, but not that poor)

I don't know what possessed me to pick up so many crap games yesterday, but they were all dirt cheap so who cares?

If I had to pick a crappest game I own it would be Dragon's Lair for the NES. Nobody got past the first screen and you know it.

Sword of the New World: Granado Espada (PC)

Bought it 'cause it was cheap. Later learned that
a) It's an MMO (which I don't play)
b) It got a 4.0 from GameSpot
The scores are all over the place on this one. Seems to be a love it or hate it sort of thing. I don't think it's that bad.

Heavenly Guardian (PS2)
Bought it because I didn't know what it was. Figured it might be fun. Later the IGN review (4.0) and GameSpot review (3.0) were posted. It might still be fun, but I've lowered my expectations. Hope to get around to playing it someday.

I have a lot of older unrated games and I don't add games to my Gamespot collection that are below an 8 most of the time. Need to keep the good taste emblem. I think my lowest is Samurai Warriors 2 for the 360, at 5.4.

That'd be Unlimited Saga, for the PS2, with a score of 4.3. I disagree with this, as I've always enjoyed the SaGa games, since they are totally unlike all other RPGs in their structure and content. Mainstream review sites can't score them highly because they're so inaccessible to the common gamer, but for people who can appreciate them, there's not much like them.

Interestingly, my second lowest score is the classic Tales of Destiny for the PS1...methinks the reviewer smoked a little too much pot the day he was supposed to review it.

No kidding. That review was exceptionally harsh. Tales of Destiny wasn't the greatest game I've ever played, but it wasn't 4.9 bad.

Incidentally, Soulcalibur Legends has now surpassed Bubble Bobble Revolution at the bottom of my list. I haven't played Legends yet, so I don't know if it really is that bad. Bubble Bobble Revolution is, thanks in part to a game breaking bug.

The Lowest:

Baseball Slam! NGage 1.7

Charlies Angels Gamecube 1.9

Robocop Xbox 2.3

Ultimate Fighting Championship Playstation 2.5

Heir of Zendor Saturn 3.0

It should be noted however that I GREATLY disagree with the 3.0 that Heir of Zendor got, while it may be among Koei's lesser know titles it wasn't all that bad.

cosmostein77

You know, I don't think I've ever played my copy.

Okay, Since my original post I now have 8 games that suck more than the game I listed (according to gamespot). In order of suckitude:

  1. Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22, PS 1.2 (Japanese version)
  2. KISS Pinball, PS 1.3
  3. Drake of the 99 Dragons, XB 1.6
  4. NRA Gun Club, PS2 1.6
  5. Spawn the Eternal, PS 1.8
  6. Spirit of Speed 1937, DC 1.9 (Harsh score, not at all fair)
  7. World War II Combat: Road to Berlin, XB 2.0 (I have no recollection of buying this one)
  8. Black Stone: Magic & Steel, XB 2.1

Mistmare - 1.7

It's the worst RPG I've ever played. I've played some bad ones too. The game makes Dungeon Lords look positively awesome by comparison.

I might have Big Rigs at work, too - I haven't played it - it says 18 wheel something so it might be 18 wheeler. I didn't even think that it might be that until now. It's a pretty bad game from when I've seen students play it. I bought a bunch of jewel case titles for work so I probably have some real dregs, not listed.

....that's what happens when they give you a $50 software budget and your machines are 10 years old.

After that I think it's Countdown Vampires with 3.3 - IMO, it's bad, but not that bad. To be frank I don't even think it's that much worse than the original (non-DC, non analog controller) RE which is, IMO, the most overrated horror game of all time.

What's the worst reviewed GS game? Big Rigs?

Man, I wish I still had Superman for N64 now :(

Alundra 2 - 4.0

It wasn't good, especially after the first Alundra which was superb. Still 4's a little too low imo, I remember it been quite playable back then and I think it was kinda aimed towards kids of my age when it came out.

Also looking through just now and I saw on gamecube Resident Evil 3 got a 4.7 and Resi 2 got a 5.0... Even though they're straight ports the scores seem kinda dumb to me.

Boogie (PS2) 4.0

Corvette (Xbox) 4.3

The Golden Compass (X360) 4.5

I got two, Mario Kart 64 (THE best Mario Kart game ever) got a 6.4 by Gamespot, and they didn't even give valid reasons! I mean it's like they didn't even play the game. Also Glover got a 5.1 when it easily deserves like a 7.5-8. I mean the person who wrote that just probbaly sucked at the game and spited it by giving it a crap score
