one of the best consoles of the 90s
still had its fair share of stinkers
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 worst ps1 games this one is pretty
straightforward we’re ranking the most
critically hated forced selling and
glitch ridden games that were ever put
on to Sony’s little gray console number
10 Pepsi man unsurprisingly given the
title this was more of an interactive ad
for a soft drink rather than a proper
video game with bizarre humor and even
weirder live-action sequences the
faceless Japanese Pepsi mascot runs
around various environments trying to
avoid different obstacles this is all in
aid of solving some Pepsi themed problem
like an empty vending machine or helping
a thirsty soldier
if you’re a devout pepsi supporter then
this may just be the game for you but
the gameplay is so bad that it might
make you want to switch to coke
number nine the simpsons wrestling
many licensed games often slack with the
quality as they rely on the profile of
the show or film they’re based on to
distract from poor gameplay such was the
case with this awful wrestling game that
has been labeled one of the ugliest
games ever the gameplay itself is
similarly hard to watch as the collision
detection is almost non-existent and the
move sets are woefully limited it could
have been so much fun but such poor
execution for a basic gameplay premise
makes it a struggle just to play oh I
win I whipped you and make you scream
number eight Hellboy asylum-seeker a PC
version of this game was released to
critical disdain in 2000 so when the
same action game was ported to the ps1
four years later there was an
understandably negative reaction as well
the graphics were incredibly outdated
for its era and the whole game was
simply a misguided attempt to ride off
the back of the release of the first
Hellboy film which had been released the
same year the controls were almost
unfathomable and too few people were
familiar with the character at the time
to ever give it a chance of success
number 7 rascal the thought process for
the publishers at the time for this game
must have been something like how about
we copy every other 3d platformer that’s
recently come out but you know make it
look sort of bad looking to ride on the
coattails of far more successful games
like mario 64 rascal was a poor
imitation if there ever was one
the camera had a mind of its own and the
controls were so poor that most of the
time it’s up to the will of the rascal
gods to decide where you actually end up
number six Fantastic Four it seems like
the first superhero family has always
been cursed when it comes to any sort of
digital media cuz hey it’s fantastic
once you start this game the problems
become apparent almost immediately
thanks to control response time issues
hilariously bad character animations a
lack of combat variety and some of those
irritating sound effects to ever come
from the console its storyline like any
sort of substance and your foes were
sometimes inexplicably hard to beat
if you manage to grind your way through
this game and want more punishment then
be sure to watch the latest film
featuring the quartet for maximum
nightmare fuel if this world must die so
their mind may live so be it
number five Mortal Kombat Special Forces
a game that’s so bad that even series
creator edy Boone doesn’t want to
acknowledge its existence
Mortal Kombat Special Forces is a game
that had a really troubled development
history and it shows first problem
despite this meant off focusing on
Special Forces taking on Cato’s black
dragon the game lacks a pivotal
character Sonya Blade so instead you’re
stuck with Jax secondly the iconic
hand-to-hand combat the series is well
known for is not only terrible but also
undermined by the extensive use of
firearms we could go on and on about the
horrid level design and terrible story
but that would sort of require a list of
its own and after you did your pounding
I’m gonna haul your butt back to prison
back home owner number four london racer
if you’ve ever been to London then you
will know that there are almost as many
cars as possible on the roads traffic is
everywhere and this racing title ignored
the one thing that could have distracted
from it’s awful collision detection and
short completion lengths and that’s all
because having mini coopers smash into
each other on the streets of England’s
capital could have been a great idea but
there is barely any other soul on the
tarmac adding to this is a laughably
short draw distance and strange visual
operations galore no fun at all
number three Santa Claus saves the earth
it’s unclear how many Christmases were
ruined for kids who receive this
painfully slow platformer but it’s no
doubt that Saint Nick himself would be
upset by the quality of this title the
player must help Santa escape from
imprisonment in some sort of unspecified
magical land but after ten minutes of
playing time you really want to leave
them there and get as far away as
possible from this abysmal game it
boasts awful graphics and laborious
gameplay where every boss battle takes
place on the exact same level just like
this it’s almost worth a play to see a
front-flipping father Christmas but then
again we’re going to show you that right
now
so don’t bother number two Barbie
Explorer what happens when you take the
rolling movements of Lara Croft levels
that seem ripped out of Crash Bandicoot
and trying to mint the charm of Indiana
Jones using one of the most vapid dolls
in existence a disaster that defies
explanation then what happened for
closer
it could have worked well as a simple
platformer game but instead the bad
camera angles and incredibly clunky
controls make navigating the repetitive
landscapes an arduous task it’s a wholly
unoriginal and sloppily created
adventure as lifeless as the doll that
serves as your protagonist they will
unlock into your Studios power before we
unveil our top pick let’s have a look at
some dishonorable mentions
number one bubsy 3d see that thing in
front of you fascist which just run into
it don’t make something happen this 3d
platformer truly is an attack on almost
all of your senses every level is as
ugly and fluorescent as the last one
the controls are completely random and
every sound grinds like nails on a
chalkboard worst of all is Bugsy’s
horrible personality he’s whiny and
arrogant so it’s really no surprise that
the random assortment of enemies are
trying to kill him you’ll get another
you’ll be in for Ivan every attempt at
humor here falls embarrassingly flat
meaning it has almost no redeeming
features whatsoever whoa Barbie yo Scott
over here instead of at the beginning of
ammo safe to say it’s well worth its
infamy as one of the worst games ever do
goo their list which ps1 game will you
never go near with so many bad games out
there we’re bound to have missed one or
two so let us know in the comments and
