I looked up that they had 26 games. 26 GAMES! Thank the Lord they lost the money. If your gonna make a game that takes 3 or 5 months, at least make a (as I like to call it) a quick play game fun for the family!
Actually, I got dalmations 2 for christmas when I was a kid. After playing it for some time and sleeping through most of the cutscene, I've decided to send it back to where it belong, my garbage can that is. It's terrible even with my standard back then
Their entire business model is just...weird. I understand that video games are profitable, but at least pretend to care about games. I felt like I was being pitched a solution to an issue that isn't occuring (i.e, a video game shortage). They had to have known this wouldn't be sustainable, right? On some level?
Turns out that Dingo didn't always give permission for their stuff to be used. Although they still make stuff, they mostly focus on corporate advertising now, probably because of Phoenix's behaviour. Interestingly enough, most of the titles that the 'games' (read: Shoddy Animations) were given completely different titles by Phoenix, probably so they could avoid copyright with Dingo. EDIT: Had Phoenix never gotten involved, Dingo certainly wouldn't have gained the infamy it now has. Looking at its website, it seems to really be a small company who stopped making anything significant years ago. EDIT: Also, Phoenix wasn't British originally, it was Dutch. It just so happens that most of their 'games' didn't sell well outside of Mainland Europe, and so they moved production of the discs to the UK instead.
@@SlySinatraaClearly not. "soccer" was originally slang used by Brits to describe what you call "Football" and it was short for "AsSOCiation Football"
since i talk spanish im gonna translate the part in 11:50 in the cover it says: "animal soccer world" includs: animated movie, puzzle, color the book, memory game. in the back of the game says: all its prepared for the biggest event of the year, the futboll game that everybody expected its going to beggin the fc wild dogs its going to play against the sv lion rock, the trainers of both teams still think in the positions of the players, today is the big day, the game its going to start, let the better team win. thats the best translation i can do of this shity game cover...
Apparently, these discs only used just under a tenth of the total capacity of a PS2 disc and the discs themselves were so weak they could get warped and broken easily. This along with the obvious mockbuster undertone should technically qualify these games not just as shovelware but as bootlegs. How did Sony license these disasters? Were the executives held at gunpoint or something?
You got love when their first-person shooter is literally called “SHOOT” how redundant can’t wait for a platformer called “JUMP” and also a fighter game called “FIGHT”
fuck it being done in germany it looks like it was done in some shitty eastern european country, hand drawn in the back of a wrecked lada being pulled by a horse
one little thing i have to say: the "yee" meme is from italian version of "Dinosaur Adventure" by "Dingo Pictures" and "Pheonix Games" bought licences to use those movies by "Dingo Pictures" and that's why you see them
@@americaonline3835 Paul Share licensed them out from TRS Media B.V. who previously published the Dutch-dubbed PC CD-ROM titles of Dingo's mockbusters in 1999.
I actually started laughing nervously during that loading screen, after seeing the MB total. I was terrified of what I was going to see after it loaded, if it was having that much trouble.
Actually, Dingo Pictures also animated short films for German clothing shops and they were played in a child corner. The animations were pretty much as shitty, but I knew that I recognise them from somewhere. Lovely video btw, as always
+The Eagle Not just Disney, Don Bluth should slaughter Dingo Pictures too, because Dingo Pictures did some horrible cartoons that are mockbusters of a few Bluth films.
Are you from Germany? Because from what I gathered from these comments, Dingo Pictures is used a lot in Germany, I went to their site too and nearly got radiation poisoning from looking at it, how it's used for advertising and whatnot... )x
We mostly watched German dubs of preexisting films. There was this one film I presume was originally made in German about an autistic boy who becomes friends with a horse, but that's about it.
So I'm almost 22 and I don't drink. I find it a nasty habit. However, these "games" make me want to raid my dad's liquor cabinet and find the most potent drink available. FFS!
Allow me to educate you on the Phoenix Games assembly line. Step 1: Horrible movie is produced by Dingo Pictures. Step 2: It is dubbed to Engrish and given to East-West Video. Step 3: East-West releases it on DVD. Step 4: A company called the Code Monkeys buys the DVD, rips the video, and takes a couple screenshots to put in their coloring page/slide puzzle minigame templates. Step 5: The "game" finishes "development" and it is sent to Phoenix Games. Step 6: They sell it to parents who can't tell the difference between 101 Dalmations and Dalmations 2.
This is the most funniest review I've seen. You did a great job ripping those mockbusters from Dingo Pictures apart. Not to mention you also tore Phoenix Games a new one (no wonder they were never released in the U.S.). Not to mention I love the part that you said about the cast of characters from "Animal Soccer World", which made me laugh.
GHB wow, pheonix games are games you get bored really fast, like I mean games like new super Mario bros, had mini games and more content in that. Pheonix game should've game called "pheonix minigames and animation", even Zelda cdi is better than this. 1 second ago•0
@@Musicradio77Network Its stupid because when Sonic Adventure came out they used REAL pictures as textures and it worked perfectly for a game of that time...... It would of not taken any effort for LCC to do the same thing
Haha, same! My RUclipsr username and profile pic is one of the characters from Phoenix Wright. I was kind of shocked but I wanted to see his reasons why and then I re-read the title and completely flipped out.
The saddest part abut this, is that ann indie developer team (that sometimes involves only one person) does a 10x better job than these people by today's standards. Look at games like Undertale made by Toby Fox. Fez by Phil Fish (as much e hate him) was made by one person.
A UK developer, named after a Greek mythological creature, works with a German company named after an Australian wild dog? These guys are all over the place!
+Claudio Teixeira He's Oro, the teacher of that green dinosaur with a red puppy dog nose. The way they design Oro like this, that'll give kids nightmares, due to having a horrendously deformed face like that.
I did a double take on that song at 7:30. That language... is Dutch. It literally translates to "Here we are with all of us, having a good time, we're going to play a bit of ball, it's going to be a good match". From this point the accent and intonation of the voice actor clicked with me: that accent is 100% Dutch. And terrible.
"3-5 months to make a quality game up to standards" LOL. Action 52 had about 3 months to its development time as well. It's clearly a quantity over quality business model.
A British game company with the name of a creature from Greek mythology that contracts a German animation company with an Austrailian name that has games that like they were animated by sleep-deprived Filipino workers on speed in a Korean sweatshop.
lol, have you notice the same piece of music loops in animal soccer world and even when other music plays it stays in the background and never EVER stops?
What the. Why was the chicken with the saxophone singing in Dutch, weren't the animators German? In fact, the bad English voice acting in Animal Soccer World sounds like it's done by a Dutch guy. Consistency.
You don't consider "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties" a video game, and yet you consider Phoenix Games' things as video games? I don't consider any Phoenix Games/Dingo Pictures "thing" a video game. It isn't interactive enough either. It's just a disk of a movie with games on it. It's like saying that a DVD with games on it is classified as a video game.
Yes. I find the interactivity of Phoenix Games garbage (aside from their actual games like London Cab Challenge, and w/e the fuck that game with the white vans is) strong enough to warrant them being called video games. I used to have a rule where if "it" could be played on a DVD player, I wouldn't consider it an actual video game. Then I realized you can play virtually every visual novel ever created on a DVD player and abandoned that ideology. Plumbers Don't Wear Ties is more of an interactive film to me and therefore doesn't fit my definition of what a game is or should be.
Holy fucking shit... those Animal Soccer World cutscenes... I never laughed so fucking hard in my entire life, in fact I have a hard time writing this comment right here because of it! Oh, by the way, "Polizei" is actually a German word, which translates to, well, "Police"
The Animal Soccer world narrator is Dutch and so is the horrible song at 7:24 for some reason. Also, I am very sure the cutscenes from Dalmatians 2 were released in the Netherlands as a full fledged film which I watched when I was about 7 (even at that age I found it horrible). I have absolutely no idea why they used the Dutch version of the song and a Dutch narrator (whoses accent is so thicc) for animal soccer world.
Not to mention, some Phoenix discs can risk breaking your Playstation or make the loudest damn sound when it's loading in the console. So it makes it seem like it's going to explode!
That's right. Some of the discs can fry your PlayStation console because they used 200MB out of the 4.7GB, and get so hot. Resulting with the game crashing and refusing to load again. You can watch Caddicarus and his sister Rosie's horror on the channel's Dalmatians 3 Review(aka The Worst Game Ever before Animal Soccer World knocked it out of the park several years later in 2018).
I'm in 10th grade and an art student, and I'm almost certain I could make a better animated movie with just the resources available at my highschool. I'd love to see the budget on some of these movies.
I'm sorry to say it, but I still don't like Five Nights At Freddy's, it's gameplay is extremely shallow... -.- It's still better than these games though, obviously...
Five Nights At Freddy's is a very simplistic game but that had thought put into it, Phoenix Games just made turds of no value gameplay to speak of with terrible outsourced animation that look like shit
You know I bet somewhere out in the world a person (namely me) wondered what would happen if you took 'The Lion King' and 'The Room' and put them together into one movie. Until I saw 'Animal World Soccer'; I didn't think such an idea would actually come into fruition!!
The Room is much better than any of these games. I Dont really think Combining the Lion King and The Room together would get this. The Room does not have repeated visuals, Missing Sound Effects, And bearly audible voice acting made by only 1 person.
Way to go, Phoenix. YAAAAYYYY. Your games are some of the best I've ever seen. Amazing cutscenes. Great controls. I especially love the lack of music and the sound effects. (You can almost smell the sarcasm, can't you? XD)
In fairness, any of Dingo Pictures' stuff still probably had more effort put into them than The Town With No Name (rotoscoping, rotoscoping everywhere). Plumbers Don't Wear Ties doesn't even begin to count as a movie; to paraphrase AVGN, a movie is something that actually moves. Dingo at least bothered to check off that basic factor on their to-do list when committing their children's drawings to celluloid.
The voice actor of animal soccer is probably dutch, because the song they sing before the match is in dutch. It goes like: "we're here everyone, it's gone be great. Let's play some football, it'll be a great match
All but two of the really REALLY shitty game companies are still up and running today, Kemco and Accolade. Kemco today currently publishes JRPG games while Accolade only exist as an in-name brand that was acquired by a Hong Kong based company.
I can't believe these games exist...how they haven't been sued for ripping off characters from Disney movies and The Land Before Time is beyond me, btw great review! :)
Correction: Mulan was not a Dingo Pictures Movie. There was a book by them but not a movie. as seen on German Wikipedia de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingo_Pictures or the dingo pictures wiki. BTW: Phoenix Games got also a wikipedia entrance in germany. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Games
I had a friend who knows German translate the back of Shoot's jewel case. It's apparently a collection of games, and judging by the screens, the quality must be debatable, at best.
Only a minute in and i'm ashamed to find out that the developer was from the UK. Oh well we don't always have the worst video game developers, case in point - Rare and Rockstar Games.
Hey DX, have your ever played the game; The Cat Lady? It's a horror/thriller (I'm a big horror fan) It's not a bad game, but I just wanted to tell you about it. Well, that is if you haven't heard of it. Or even played it. I really enjoy these episodes and series of yours, really funny and professional. Makes me laugh a lot. Also, Animal Soccer World was dubbed by a Danish company and made into small 15 minute long short films. I used to watch them as a kid and even though the animation was atrocious and horrible, the voice acting was much better than this dogshit. Even the synchronization with the animation and voice acting was good and the plots were actually decent. Anyways, keep being awesome, you also earned yourself a subscription! - Much love, from a loyal Danish fan :)
Animal Soccer World hurts my entire soul just like ride to hell games because of the voice acting is a son of the worst i've ever encountered in my whole life even generations of gaming
Super Genji They are not the biggest abominations the biggest will be these racing games like CrazyBus, Desert Bus or Big Rigs and makes me sad whenever I think of them. They ruined the game industry as possibly as they can and even I can do better, seriously.
yup no doubt about it, that day, lots of unfinished game also worst dating simulators like plumbers dont wear ties, that one i can remember how bad that game was
2 things: 1. I saw London Cab Challenge at a yard sale today. Thankfully, no one was buying it. Or looking at it (except me). 2. Those drag queen ducks at 6:25 look more like rejects from one of the Mad Max films to me. That or some gang out of a Saint's Row game.
Yeah back in the day I swear it seemed like nobody could see how bad the games were that 989 studios were shifting out,they were absorbed into its parent company I think
LJN is certainly despicable and 90% of their games were garbage but I think these come really close to those, if not surpass them in terms of sheer awfulness.
I guess Phoenix Games is even worst than LJN. If they are going re-release games in the US, I should bring back Castle Films, the company that used to manufactured home movies, and bring the extinct distributor back from the dead. Castle Films has not distributed home movies since 1977 when they absorbed into Universal 8. I wish Castle Films should bring it back from the dead and re-release cartoons from that godawful Phoenix Games and put it on DVD, Blu-Ray and online. This is trying to harken back to the cartoons that distributed Terrytoons, Ub Iwerks' ComiColor and the Walter Lantz cartoons. If I were Warren Cook or other people who made fake stuff, I will make a Castle Films opening and closing titles instead of Phoenix Games titles.
I was seriously just shocked when I heard that London Cab Challenge was actually made in 2006. I mean, good god. There have been N64 and PS1 games that looked FAR better than that.

This is the new device to torture children, even if you say it's a game for kids, the main target is to torture children.
Luckily, I only ever got one thing from Phoenix Games, and it wasn't for Christmas...
“Whereas Phoenix games need a mere 3-5 months.” That shouldn’t be a selling point at all
These days we have games that have been in development for 8 years with overblown budgets and they're just as bad but for different reasons.
Their entire business model is just...weird. I understand that video games are profitable, but at least pretend to care about games. I felt like I was being pitched a solution to an issue that isn't occuring (i.e, a video game shortage). They had to have known this wouldn't be sustainable, right? On some level?
A minute of silence, for my poor brain cells that died during the viewing of those cutscenes.

7:46 OK, I am not a soccer expert, but I am pretty sure you can't do that in the soccer.
Voltorb1993 you mean football? (I'm a proud Brit)
You can't do this in football, but this game is about soccer, which seems to be a hybrid between basketball and handball.

Don't worry, I don't think anyone will force "collective guilt" on the Germans for the making of these games.
gantzisballs Yeah, we're all still in collective guilt for the holocaust and stuff. I don't think this game will make the situation worse.
Yes, that would be the joke.
Danke schön. We feel sorry for you.

I have absolutely no idea why they used the Dutch version of the song and a Dutch narrator (whoses accent is so thicc) for animal soccer world.
There are even more Phoenix Games "games" that you should review:
Peter Pan
Snow White and the 7 Clever Boys
American Pool
Iron Chef
Not to mention, some Phoenix discs can risk breaking your Playstation or make the loudest damn sound when it's loading in the console. So it makes it seem like it's going to explode!
That's right. Some of the discs can fry your PlayStation console because they used 200MB out of the 4.7GB, and get so hot. Resulting with the game crashing and refusing to load again. You can watch Caddicarus and his sister Rosie's horror on the channel's Dalmatians 3 Review(aka The Worst Game Ever before Animal Soccer World knocked it out of the park several years later in 2018).
Dude you need to be hired by gamespot or IGN or TGN for honest game reviews. You are fucking hilarious.
I'm in 10th grade and an art student, and I'm almost certain I could make a better animated movie with just the resources available at my highschool. I'd love to see the budget on some of these movies.
The ONE guy that made five nights at Freddie's one and two did a better job than Phoenix games did with all their games
The people who made Maymay Run did a better job than Phoenix "Games".
I'm sorry to say it, but I still don't like Five Nights At Freddy's, it's gameplay is extremely shallow... -.-
It's still better than these games though, obviously...
He even did a great job in the voice acting department haha. Very fun and terrifying games. These Phoenix games are just scams.
Five Nights At Freddy's is a very simplistic game but that had thought put into it, Phoenix Games just made turds of no value gameplay to speak of with terrible outsourced animation that look like shit
You know I bet somewhere out in the world a person (namely me) wondered what would happen if you took 'The Lion King' and 'The Room' and put them together into one movie.
Until I saw 'Animal World Soccer'; I didn't think such an idea would actually come into fruition!!
The Room is much better than any of these games. I Dont really think Combining the Lion King and The Room together would get this. The Room does not have repeated visuals, Missing Sound Effects, And bearly audible voice acting made by only 1 person.
Doesn't matter...both titles contain the same level of awkwardness. :B
DRAG QUEEN GANG MEMBER DUCKS are now a meme. Thats what this game left behind for me. Also the "dinosaur head"
The ducks are a meme too 😂
Way to go, Phoenix. YAAAAYYYY. Your games are some of the best I've ever seen. Amazing cutscenes. Great controls. I especially love the lack of music and the sound effects.
(You can almost smell the sarcasm, can't you? XD)
I am suffocating on the pure amount of sarcasm.
Never knew Italy was sarcastic. Huh.
Hodan Osman I can be if I feel like it. XD
You call that sarcasm?
PH0ENIX IS DU BUST CUMPENY DAT MEKE GR8 GEMES 8/8
How's THAT for sarcasm so?
J1984 (Julian.1984) True, true...and Phoenix is also a great example of what NOT to do for anyone who wants to make games.
4:38 so that’s where that meme came from
*YEE*
4:08 Is-i… Is that a fucking Kiki's Delivery Service ripoff?
4:38 I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe XD what the fuck is that!?!?!
Yee.
10 years and still the most truthful reviewing of video games on RUclips.
It's truly hard to verbalize, how awful Superman on the N64 was.
In fairness, any of Dingo Pictures' stuff still probably had more effort put into them than The Town With No Name (rotoscoping, rotoscoping everywhere). Plumbers Don't Wear Ties doesn't even begin to count as a movie; to paraphrase AVGN, a movie is something that actually moves. Dingo at least bothered to check off that basic factor on their to-do list when committing their children's drawings to celluloid.
I could imagine when this was released in their release days, and Phoenix Games deceiving you into playing a Disney game
The voice actor of animal soccer is probably dutch, because the song they sing before the match is in dutch. It goes like: "we're here everyone, it's gone be great. Let's play some football, it'll be a great match
Mufasa clone: what's going on.... who do we have here? lmao this is so funny
It's so funny how almost all the minor characters are from other "games" they made (Wabuu the Raccoon, Dalmations, etc.
Although I do like his new Style, Old DX is always good to come back to.
I absolutely lost my shit at the "Mufasa" cutscene. You're the greatest reviewer of videos games ever. Keep doing what you do.
All but two of the really REALLY shitty game companies are still up and running today, Kemco and Accolade. Kemco today currently publishes JRPG games while Accolade only exist as an in-name brand that was acquired by a Hong Kong based company.
I can't believe these games exist...how they haven't been sued for ripping off characters from Disney movies and The Land Before Time is beyond me, btw great review! :)
What was that Athletic remix? It sounds like a MIDI.
That animation is fucking hilarious, i bursted out laughing when i saw that 3-frame running
Correction: Mulan was not a Dingo Pictures Movie. There was a book by them but not a movie. as seen on German Wikipedia de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingo_Pictures or the dingo pictures wiki. BTW: Phoenix Games got also a wikipedia entrance in germany. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Games
Fun fact: Animal Soccer World reuses characters from other Dingo movies like Lion and the King, Dalmatians 2/3, and some others.
Lay
Zee!
4:37 this is what happens when a dinosaur has sex with a Peugeot 206 I guess
I had a friend who knows German translate the back of Shoot's jewel case. It's apparently a collection of games, and judging by the screens, the quality must be debatable, at best.
Lion King on Acid holy shit......
Jack Doe more like Lion King on crack
It's like I discovered an entirely unknown kind of nightmare. I should've never watched this video. *shivers*
"After this I stopped because my eyes started bleeding."
The goose nurse in animal Soccer World sounds like somebody is scraping a bow across violin strings
If I have to put my ear close to the speakers to hear the voice acting........something is wrong.
RedAsHalo Wear headphones. My videos aren't leveled best for speaker systems.
DXFan619 i am using a headphone, and i cant hear them very well.
+SuperKratosgamer Why would you want to? :(
chibidark321
Haha! to laugh?
SuperKratosgamer
Is it even worth that? The unending pain :D
13:05 All I have to say is, our partner is going to "shock" the world, because he is none other than... THE SCHOCKMASTER
They basically have the same characters but different names and stories
4:37 This seems like a dinosaur and a Peugeot car together. :p
You really deserve much more subs, you're like angryjoe in the making 💪✌️
The "Mufasa clone" is actually adult Simba. Who knew Simba mastered time travel and is able to be present in both his cub and adult form.
Phoenix Games was the Digital Homicide of the Late PS1-Early PS2 Era.
Congratulations Shinji! You made it into a hidden frame!
Well, I guess the congratulations depends on your perspective...
I think anyone could do better voice acting for this game.
So.... I saw the Shockmaster image you placed. His debut entrance was less screwed than ANY of these games. XD
Only a minute in and i'm ashamed to find out that the developer was from the UK. Oh well we don't always have the worst video game developers, case in point - Rare and Rockstar Games.
U mean dma design, rockstar games is based in USA mostly
@@claudespeed277 DMA Design got rebranded as Rockstar North in 2002.
I miss Rare and Nintendo being together. Banjo Kazooie and DK64 were the shit.
Some of Dingo Pictures' movies were also distributed by another super-budget game company, Midas Interactive.
That last part, when DX played Animal Soccer World..holy jesus christ..it was hilarious to watch!
Hey DX, have your ever played the game; The Cat Lady? It's a horror/thriller (I'm a big horror fan) It's not a bad game, but I just wanted to tell you about it. Well, that is if you haven't heard of it. Or even played it.
I really enjoy these episodes and series of yours, really funny and professional.
Makes me laugh a lot.
Also, Animal Soccer World was dubbed by a Danish company and made into small 15 minute long short films. I used to watch them as a kid and even though the animation was atrocious and horrible, the voice acting was much better than this dogshit. Even the synchronization with the animation and voice acting was good and the plots were actually decent.
Anyways, keep being awesome, you also earned yourself a subscription!
- Much love, from a loyal Danish fan :)
Why was the gator dribbling the soccer ball? Why does that bother me more than the gang of punk foul?
"But, WE have to talk about ANIMAL. SOCCER. WORLD!" - I died. Lmfaoooo!
Animal Soccer World hurts my entire soul just like ride to hell games because of the voice acting is a son of the worst i've ever encountered in my whole life even generations of gaming
I have the same problem as you.
yeah true
Super Genji They are not the biggest abominations the biggest will be these racing games like CrazyBus, Desert Bus or Big Rigs and makes me sad whenever I think of them. They ruined the game industry as possibly as they can and even I can do better, seriously.
yup no doubt about it, that day, lots of unfinished game also worst dating simulators like plumbers dont wear ties, that one i can remember how bad that game was
Speaking of Ride To Hell, did the other two games even come out? (Let alone get to the development stage)
Phoenix games reserved themselves a special place in hell
2 things:
1. I saw London Cab Challenge at a yard sale today. Thankfully, no one was buying it. Or looking at it (except me).
2. Those drag queen ducks at 6:25 look more like rejects from one of the Mad Max films to me. That or some gang out of a Saint's Row game.
7:36 who thought this was ok this is just cursed
You gotta admit though, That super mario world athletic theme for London cab driver was kick ass though
Yeah back in the day I swear it seemed like nobody could see how bad the games were that 989 studios were shifting out,they were absorbed into its parent company I think
What? No mention of LJN?
LJN is certainly despicable and 90% of their games were garbage but I think these come really close to those, if not surpass them in terms of sheer awfulness.
Or King, you know, the makers of Candy Crush Shitstorm.
that bubsy pop up actually scared me
I guess Phoenix Games is even worst than LJN. If they are going re-release games in the US, I should bring back Castle Films, the company that used to manufactured home movies, and bring the extinct distributor back from the dead. Castle Films has not distributed home movies since 1977 when they absorbed into Universal 8. I wish Castle Films should bring it back from the dead and re-release cartoons from that godawful Phoenix Games and put it on DVD, Blu-Ray and online. This is trying to harken back to the cartoons that distributed Terrytoons, Ub Iwerks' ComiColor and the Walter Lantz cartoons. If I were Warren Cook or other people who made fake stuff, I will make a Castle Films opening and closing titles instead of Phoenix Games titles.
I was seriously just shocked when I heard that London Cab Challenge was actually made in 2006. I mean, good god. There have been N64 and PS1 games that looked FAR better than that.
