The Worst Xbox 360 Games

Since the Xbox 360 originally came out quite some time ago, we’ve been fortunate enough to see some excellent titles which leave us longing for more. On the other hand, we’ve seen just as many titles which have left us feeling angry and cheated.

The thing is, for the money we cough up all the time, we want a great title. A production company shouldn’t just release a game because they need the money. Now not all games need a great story to make the games brilliant, but there have to be a few things in the games that we will not forget. Memorable characters and a bad story will still run together properly.

Perhaps you had the misfortune of playing a game called “Two World’s”? Fair enough, I suppose there were a handful of people who enjoyed it but I think it’s safe to assume that the vast majority simply hated it. Not only were the graphics terrible, but the sound and control configuration were just as bad. In fact, there really was nothing good about it at all.

Then along came “Hour-of-Victory” which you may not have heard of considering it was a total failure. Unfortunately, if this game had been released a year or two sooner then it may have been enjoyable. By the time it was released however, the graphics and sound quality simply couldn’t be compared to other games. Furthermore, at the time it was released, it certainly couldn’t compete against games such as the “Call-of-Duty” franchise. All in all, it was simply terrible.

Vampire games are brilliant are they not? Maybe so, but that was certainly not the case with “Vampire Rain”. As any gamer can attest to, a stealth game should prove to be a challenge as is the case with Splinter Cell. After all, fighting vampires should really be a challenge but if you can get past them by sneaking about, then it defeats the object of the game. It’s hardly surprising then that Vampire Rain became an instant failure. What made it even worse was the fact that so many scenes had been cut, not to mention the game took forever to load. Even the sound and the graphics could only be described as being average at best.

Perhaps you remember “Jumper”? When a game is originally intended for a lower end machine, the programmers to a certain extent deserve a little bit of credit with regards to making it slightly better for a new platform. However, with Jumper that was certainly not the case considering it made use of PS2 graphics all the way through. In fact, it was an insult to our intelligence.

The games mentioned above are just the tip of the iceberg as far as bad games are concerned. As you may have already discovered yourself, it’s incredibly easy to throw your money away on a bad game simply because by the time you realize it, it’s too late.

If you really don’t fancy taking your chances as to whether or not a game is good or bad, then you should ideally do a bit of research before you part with your money. In fact, there’s no excuse not to, considering that there are many websites offering unbiased reviews.
