www.teneightep.com/blog/superman-64-reviewThis week, I take a look at a game that's a staple on many "all-time worst" lists; "Superman" for the Nintendo 64. What kind of maligned reputation does this game have, and does it truly deserve it?

Shouldn't kryptonite fog kill Superman? I never understood that.
Also $6 still sounds like a ripoff.

Rumor is "Kryptonite fog over Metropolis" was supposed to be the main plot of the game originally. That was Titus' way of explaining away the bad draw distances. |

and does it truly deserve it? Yes. It's not just becuase of the shitty ring segments you start with but all the other terrible buggy levels that follow as well. |

I've played worse professionally released games, but not many.
Obviously, the kind of shit Jim Sterling plays on Steam often probably dips into worse still, but I am sticking with ones published by people with any degree of experience.

That's pretty much what I decided and why I gave it that .5. I did feel a somewhat ironic joy from playing it, and I'm usually not a guy that feels that. I hate shitty movies that try way too hard, and I hate shitty games. And the times I wasn't enjoying the game far outweighed those morsels of ironic fun. Again, if we're talking just "enjoyment", I've played worse (hence I let it off with the ".5"). But if we're quantifying everything the game has; shitty graphics, shitty controls, failures both in concept and in execution, the glitches...in that quantifiable respect, it's the worst game I've ever played.
And I do plan on having a flat out zero as an actual score, but it would take something either truly atrocious that's devoid of any fun whatsoever, or something that doesn't function right by design...not that I own either, but Dragon's Lair on NES or Action 52 come to mind. |
