This is the first time I've ever had that "I played this when I was a child and I loved it" experience that people often comment on Worst Games Ever. I played hours and hours of Winter Olympics 98 on the N64 when I was 7 or 8. I didn't even have a memory cartridge so I used to unlock the events again and again every time I played it.

"The only thing players are really after is the thrill of driving obscenely expensive cars" Not really - there's an insane amount of fun to be had taking regular cars, hot hatches and more, and taking them to limits you just can't reach on a road. One of my favourite things in Gran Turismo is taking an Alfa Romeo 147 or a Seat Ibiza Cupra and going 'round the track, improving it and customising it.

How does "The Fifth Element" make it to no. 1 here? I own that game for PS1 ever since I was a kid and I loved and still love it as much as the legendary movie. It is certainly no masterpiece, that's for sure, but it is very well playable and entertaining and even stays relatively close to the movies plot (a rarity for that time) and has some added in cutscenes directly from the movie. I'd say it's a solid 70%, maybe even cratching the 75, but that low and number 1 on the worst game list? Like WTF?!

@tomthespaceknerd5396 2 жыл бұрын

Actually G.A.S.P!! Did have one thing to set it apart from other fighters and that was character creation. This was actually really involved and I'd love to see something like this but with a half fighting engine. Your fighter would start with only basic punches and kicks and have to pick an official character as a sensei. Then every time you won a fight/challenge (you could change your sensei anytime outside of combat and combat challenges would increase in difficulty) you would be able to pick a move from their arsenal for your character to learn. Only once you had a full moves list could you use your character in other modes. Unfortunately while the character moves were entirely up to the player, you had very little control over the look of your character. There were about 20 pre-made character models with about 4 colour schemes each to choose from and no further customisation could be done. And of course the actual fighting engine was unresponsive and clunky. It's disappointing because the bare bones of something with potential were there, and I've never seen anything quite like it in a fighting game since. That idea of taking a character with 0 skill and building them slowly into a character worthy of a prestigious tournament. The score is still pretty accurate in my opinion though. It really didn't play well.
