The thing I loved the most about "worst games" was reading the scathing reviews in GamePro and EGM video game magazines. Reviews of good games were always informative but ones roasting a bad game were so entertaining.
Oooh boy, when I saw 2007 I knew this was going to be a bad time, since that's when Wii Shovelware really kicked into high gear. Are we going to need to limit Wii games in future worst lists to stop them from dominating?
The first season of Little Britain was legitimately quite inspired with a few of its one-off characters and wasn't always just crass humour for the sake of it. Later on yeah, it was just repetitive, predictable gags, even more one note characters and shock humour.
My grandad used to love Deal or No Deal on DS. Granted it was the UK version instead and it probably didn’t have the same exploit but I could never understand why he liked it so much
As much as I love the Wii, this list shows why getting Nintendo seal of approval was not just good, but right. There was a mountain of horrible shovelware on that system.
As a Brit who didn't betray the crown (jk), I am the type to say wiffle ball is for panzies and play baseball pissed and regret once my drunk ass gets hit by a well thrown ball to the body and hopefully not the face, late to wish I was playing wiffle ball
Fun Fact: Chickenshoot is based on a german classic called "Moorhuhn". By now there are over 30 different games in that series and one of the first was Germanys most popular computer game in the early 2000s
Crusin' USA was a amazing game, it's draw distance was the result of system limitations, not poor game design. And about Crusin' on the Wii, it wasn't even a new game in the series, it was just a port of The Fast And The Furious arcade game to the Wii with the Crusin' name slapped onto it, Midway didn't even bother removing the real world car licence that the Fast And The Furious game used, as one of the cars in the game is clearly the Dodge Charger that Vin Diesel used in the first film and briefly in Tokyo Drift.
I remember trying to convince my friend it was NOT part of the actual Crusin' series. He still bought it anyways and regretted it. That is why (at least back then) you rent games first if you are unsure about them.
Cool Spot & Push Over were both ‘advert’ games of a sort. And they were both awesome. Also, RoboCod on the Amiga plugged the Penguin choccy biccy a lot.
FUN FACT: Cruis'n is acutally a port of the Fast and Furious arcade game. Midway lost the rights to the movie franchise so they lazily renamed to just Cruis'n and called it a day.
you know what makes that Jenga game even worse, the fact that boom Blox Came to town about one year later and did that idea so much better. By the way, I think Boom Blox is an underrated Wii game. Don't touch the N-Gage version though.
Chicken shoot was called Moorhühner "moorhens" in Germany and was released in 1998 was THE shit! I played it as a kid and it was amazing....the Wii game was just....milking the hen...which obviously had to end badly.
Mark sounds like a pretty cool game NGL, thank you Triple Jump for introducing and alerting me to another obscure PC game i'd never heard of before! I recently played Lula 3-D and enjoyed it quite a bit.
Wow, I was actually shocked that "Call For Heroes" came out in 2007 (I even Googled it because I didn't believe it lol). It looks like something that could have come out in the late 90's or early 2000's.
Crusin' USA in the arcade was ok. Enjoyable, just not up to the standards of the Sega and Namco racers of the same time. The N64 port was pretty bad however.
@@coochie8670 yes, it is, Cooch! We're trying to play Spectrobes Origin for Nintendo Wii, and we were watching Full Metal Panic and World Trigger on Tubi, for now!
I do seem to remember a lot of Wii titles felt like shovelware games mashed together and dressed up in a theme of some kind. Even at the end things like "Carnival Games" became the Galador of the video game isle.
my parents bought me game party when I was little. even as a toddler I knew the game was trash. what a waste of money. I can't believe this sold 2 million copies. I still have the disk to this day. _shudders_
We still have a shit ton of Cruisin USA arcade cabins here in southern Brazil, especially in Beaches. Terrible cabins, terrible game. Time and money waster.
I actually played Little Britain. For 10 minutes. I never got past the first stage, (the Vicky Pollard rollerblading one) because I couldn't figure out the dreadful controls. I hate that game.
Oof, DoND having the "NES Bubble Bobble Problem" could've been solved with a simple random number. NES Bubble Bobble Problem was that all of the games powerup appearances are derived from counts of player actions - since the NES game didn't have a save state, all the scores were reset to 0 at boot. Even randomizing the stats at the start of the game would've been increased the game's replayability tremendously.
The thing with Wiffle balls is, they've got holes on one side, and not the other, which effects the flow of air around the ball, so you can get a lot of pretty good movement out of them while pitching. It's also way harder to break a window or something with a plastic ball.
2007 also had good games: The Witcher Assassin's Creed Mass Effect The Witcher may not have the best gameplay (it's not that hard), but I enjoy the story & exploring Vizima. I always play it before The Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings & The Witcher 3 The Wild Hunt. Play Price of Neutrality & Side Effects before it too (like playing Leliana's Song before Dragon Age Origins). Surprised they didn't just port it to consoles, move the cursor with the right control stick and press another button to click (Secret of Monkey Island works fine on Xbox), got the Steam Controller configuration mapped the way I want it. There are no achievements, so you can play on the easiest setting 👍 No difficulty setting for Assassin's Creed, but the only achievements I didn't get there involved collecting the flags because I got bored looking, but I have to get all the feathers in the next game because Brotherhood said Ezio did. I found Unity's gameplay harder than AC1, is it really so hard pressing X to counter or B to grab break and A to regain balance 🤔 (just avoid combat until you unlock all those) Mele just made Mass Effect even better, still hoping more mods get ported, but at least I don't have to worry about the controller mod conflicting with anything anymore. Also like that the default FemShep is included in the first two games, but even a custom Shepard stays consistent now
I own all 3 witcher games and have only played the first and loved it the second I got past the prologue and it wouldnt play smoothly after that but I want to finish it before I start 3 so probably end up buying it on the 360. Good to see that others have actually played it though I never hear it meantioned
I remember when PC Gamer had a little section for each review, recommending something similar to play. When they reviewed Little Britain: The Video Game, the only point of comparison was "actual dog ****"
When Vickie Pollard is in the thumbnail, you know this is going to be a.... 'treat.' Yeahbutnobutyeahbutnobutthatshowwasawful. Mr. Mann was good, though.
@@yourcucumberissoftandyourg3114 turns out they did a little Britain video on their previous channel. You are correct. They cried about it not being woke enough.
The wii was perfect for companies making God awful things assuming random people will buy anything. Because it was aimed at a broad audience compared to a xbox.

I always enjoyed the “shame of the month” from EGM.
Something that still holds true to this very day.
A crappy game just getting slam dunked is always so fun.
I miss EGM that magazine was the shit
Ah Damn gamepro you got my nostalgia drives overheating
Oooh boy, when I saw 2007 I knew this was going to be a bad time, since that's when Wii Shovelware really kicked into high gear. Are we going to need to limit Wii games in future worst lists to stop them from dominating?
I'd love to see the games featured on Worst Games Ever ranked based on ratings and their experience
All Worst Games Ever or just from TripleJump? Because there is also Vidiots and (where it started) as well.
@@Mashangi specifically this channel. They're getting close to 100 worst games

As a Brit who moved to USA decades ago, I can confirm that the real Wiffle ball is good fun and quite safe to play when completely smashed.
You should have introduced them to rounders lol
Actually harmless drunk fun and preparing meat in just so many delicious ways: two things I think you'll agree America is actually quite good at!

this sounds like a challenge

@@ThatShyGuyMatt
You tried, A for effort.
I think the bad draw distance was also inexperience with the hardware. Cruisin world had much better draw distance.
5:16 Somewhere in the US, the good old "SNES Drunk" felt a little glimpse of joy out of nowhere when the name "Ken Griffey Jr." dropped.
When you write a pun in a script, it is VERY MUCH intended. Own your terrible pun!
this is my favorite series by far. i wish there was a specific playlist instead of general Top X Lists playlist
Nice to know I’m not the only that seems to get more pleasure from watching bad old games, rather than good ones!
Yarris. I remember that game. Even when free, no one wanted it. I payed it for the beyond easy achievements and never touched it again.
woahhhh i know you did not throw shade at Doritos Crash Course. that game was amazing
2:44 is that John Cena?
Fun fact: here in Britain, Ken Griffy Jr is more well known for having a grotesquely swollen jaw.
How are you guys still a somewhat small channel with some of the best gaming content on RUclips? You guys are top tier!!! Keep it up
Cool Spot & Push Over were both ‘advert’ games of a sort. And they were both awesome.
Also, RoboCod on the Amiga plugged the Penguin choccy biccy a lot.
>Most of the games on the list being Wii shovelware
Yeah, that sounds about right.
FUN FACT: Cruis'n is acutally a port of the Fast and Furious arcade game. Midway lost the rights to the movie franchise so they lazily renamed to just Cruis'n and called it a day.
Chicken shoot is Scott the Woz' jam.
The wii console was full of shovel ware games. Lots of aweful low quality junk
You know the games are truly ploppers when the game in 10th is rated 26.38%
Forgot how many shovelware games there were on Wii
Jesus the Wii shovelware was in full force here lol
Hey... Doritos Crash Course was amazing actually
That Come Dine With Me reference had me
Same, glad I wasn’t the only one who appreciated it!
Manhunt 2? Maybe not the worst but definitely the most horrifying

That Private Pyle edit was hilarious
Man that’s gotta be one of the best thumbnails I’ve ever seen
You did NOT just diss Doritos Crash Course like that!?
I was 21, so I dont really remember this year that well
You know it's bad when the 10th lowest game is under 30%
Mark sounds like a pretty cool game NGL, thank you Triple Jump for introducing and alerting me to another obscure PC game i'd never heard of before! I recently played Lula 3-D and enjoyed it quite a bit.
"Official" Wiffle Ball rules state..."No gloves or running of bases"
Ah, 2007, the start of the great Wii shovelware epidemic
I used to own chicken shoot! it was really dull😂😭
When the Wii became known for its shovelware.
The call for heros looks straight up like a 2002 game
Based on years of watching these guys I don't believe them when they say No Pun Intended
This is the type of content I didn't knew I need in my life
i only clicked this video because it was more interesting than a video about some boring american shops
Little Britain needs a remake!
how did my mom manage to buy me nearly all of these games
Wow, I was actually shocked that "Call For Heroes" came out in 2007 (I even Googled it because I didn't believe it lol). It looks like something that could have come out in the late 90's or early 2000's.
Quality content lads
Doritos Crash course was fun tho
the poultry pun 😭😭

The Best Nintendo DS Game of 2007 is Spectrobes.
Facts so much fun

Great stuff guys and gal!

So the Wii-game Chicken Shoot is in fact a cartoony version of the well-known Moorhuhn Shooter?
I was around when Cruis'n USA first came out. I even remember Cruis'n World. I didn't even know they made a Wii version. 😬
We still have a shit ton of Cruisin USA arcade cabins here in southern Brazil, especially in Beaches. Terrible cabins, terrible game. Time and money waster.
I actually played Little Britain. For 10 minutes. I never got past the first stage, (the Vicky Pollard rollerblading one) because I couldn't figure out the dreadful controls. I hate that game.
#10 Chicken Shoot, of course it looks dated it was first released in 2000 for the PC (was well received) and was 'inspired' by Moorhuhn from 99.

6:41 *slowly raises hand*
I know it was basic, but I remember doritos crash course to be pretty fun back then. Kinda wanna turn on my 360 again and see if it holds up at all
It does, in my opinion.
Fun fact about Wiffle Ball. It was a port of a flash browser game on Nabisco World. I played it all the time when I was a kid.
My graduation year. I'm going to feel very old watching this aren't I?!
What until he finds out pitchers throw the ball out of the strike zone on purpose in real life lol
Starting at 26%. This one will be good!
The thing with Wiffle balls is, they've got holes on one side, and not the other, which effects the flow of air around the ball, so you can get a lot of pretty good movement out of them while pitching. It's also way harder to break a window or something with a plastic ball.
2007 also had good games:
The Witcher
Assassin's Creed
Mass Effect
The Witcher may not have the best gameplay (it's not that hard), but I enjoy the story & exploring Vizima. I always play it before The Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings & The Witcher 3 The Wild Hunt. Play Price of Neutrality & Side Effects before it too (like playing Leliana's Song before Dragon Age Origins).

I found Unity's gameplay harder than AC1, is it really so hard pressing X to counter or B to grab break and A to regain balance 🤔 (just avoid combat until you unlock all those)
Mele just made Mass Effect even better, still hoping more mods get ported, but at least I don't have to worry about the controller mod conflicting with anything anymore. Also like that the default FemShep is included in the first two games, but even a custom Shepard stays consistent now

You need a non Nintendo/PC version where shovelware reigned.
I can’t tolerate the slander of crash course. It was great!
i'm kind of vibing on the background music, it's rather catchy for some reason
Chicken Shoot looks like a late 90s educational game.
Jenga's more fun in Halo. lol. Cheaper too, because you get a well-regarded FPS along with it.
Chicken shoot is the first on one of these lists I've actually had and played :D
I remember when PC Gamer had a little section for each review, recommending something similar to play. When they reviewed Little Britain: The Video Game, the only point of comparison was "actual dog ****"
Holy crap, Wiffle Ball is just a port of that Flash game I used to play online in the mid-2000s!
Exactly what I was thinking. It was on Candystand if I’m not mistaken.
Oh, yeah! Here we go! Sports time!
I liked game party when I was a kid. Haven't played it since though.
objection. Dorito’s crash course was sick
I got bought the Little Britain PS2 game...I couldn't get past the Vicky Pollard bit...it got played about 5 times and then I threw it.
When Vickie Pollard is in the thumbnail, you know this is going to be a.... 'treat.' Yeahbutnobutyeahbutnobutthatshowwasawful. Mr. Mann was good, though.
I remember Yaris, it was a free game and that was about it.
I'm pretty sure "the mark" Ripped off that movie "training day" with Ethan Hawk and Denzel
Hope we get an individual video just for little Britain game.
It'd just be them getting offended so it wouldn't be an interesting watch
@@yourcucumberissoftandyourg3114 turns out they did a little Britain video on their previous channel.
You are correct. They cried about it not being woke enough.
People didn’t like Cruisn USA? I used to love that game on 64
Wait... are you saying Wiffle Ball DS *WASN'T* a good game? _[Clutches pearls.]_
Jesus this, Moses that Abraham hit me with a wiffle ball bat
2007 seems like a rough year for Nintendo games.
The wii was perfect for companies making God awful things assuming random people will buy anything. Because it was aimed at a broad audience compared to a xbox.
I loved Cruis'n, mostly because I really wanted to love Cruis'n USA/World/Exotic on the Wii.
It kept sounding like he was saying "chicken shit" instead of chicken shoot...
For some reason my wife loved More Game Party for some reason and would usually want to play that rather than Wii Sports.
Pompolic? More like Plopploplick
Chicken Shoot looked like a cheap knock-off of the great NES game Duck Hunt
Hour of Victory should be on the list.
Oh… but there WAS a Noel Edmonds version with samples of his voice. I had it. And it was terrible.
Crusin USA was pretty fun
Wasn't the problem with Cruis'n USA the fact that Midway tried to port the game to the Nintendo 64 which clearly couldn't handle it?
