I know some of the poor sods who made this game. Broadsword were one of those devs who had to go to a 'publisher' (To put it generously, colossal morons.) who pitched out a game and these devs would be all "We can make the game in 6 months for this much money." and another dev would be like "OH, WE can make this game in 4 months with LESS money." So yea... good sign... So what you got was games cobbled together with a hideous amount of crunch. Sleeping in the office under a desk kinda shit. The goals were to ge the game done and out as quick as possible. No idea how long this took but it was WELL under the time they were given. But they would often have several contracts out at the same time to maximize their income. The games were shit anyway and nobody looked so who cares? It had to be functional enough to pass TRC and that's it. And also, the games were absolute shit. But the publishers didn't give a shit. This was easy shovel-ware days. This game was probably reduced to clear for a fiver in your local tesco. This DID make money, horrifying as that is to believe. The devs HATED this game. There was a review when this came out (I can't remember where it was from) that started talking about how amazing the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time was and the impact it made on the industry and the lessons devs could be taken from it, before about two thirds the way through the review saying "NONE of this has been applied to this fucking game." The devs loved the review so much they framed it. The dance games you mentioned were all PS1 and PS2 if I remember right. They actually did REALLY well financially (probably because DDR was booming and these were a fiver in tesco and looked KINDA like it I guess?) and the main game was easy to just slap a few new songs on, maybe the odd new animation and WHAM! More money with minimal overheads. It was mostly animation budget too so it was the only game one of my friends actually LIKED working on. If I heard correctly, there were even arcade machines made of them but I have no idea if they ever made it to market. None of my arcade boffs have ever heard of them so I assume not. Some of the guys still work in the industry. Most quit because... well... look at this! Nothing kills your passion for game making like working yourself to the bone and having THIS shit to show for it. One of the lead programmers started his own studio and I got to play his prototype game for XBLA but honestly... err... it was real fucking shit. Design chops he did NOT have.
@@blacklotus5364 A mix. Some really wanted to do something else cos as I said, this shit kills your passion. One of them is still kinda on and off work because how the work load messed with her mental health, one guy has gone into hardware repairs for old school consoles and having the time of his life, the rest I don't know. Oh tell a lie I just remembered, one of them did a kickstarter. One of the upper management. He was an arse hole and abused the passion of those who wanted to help him so fuck him.
Huh, that explains terrible games so much. Devs would bid for publisher contracts, and "outbid" eachother as it were who could do it faster or cheaper.
I know this is an old video, but the voice for Robin Hood and Maid Marian are husband and wife Matthew Macfadyen (Mr Darcy in Pride & Prejudice and Athos in the Three Musketeers) and Keeley Hawes (Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider games), and The Sheriff of Nottingham is Richard O’Brien (The Crystal Maze and the writer of and actor of Riff Raff in The Rocky Horror Picture Show)
@@smpsgamer2752 Nope, 2007. But this awful adaptation of Robin Hood looks like a game that could've come out in 2006; hell, it looks like it came out in 1996.
When you complete the game, Maid Marian complains that you took too long to save her, and then goes on to break the fourth wall that she was nearly gonna save herself and "...mess up the whole story...". Tennings does a hilarious review of this game (among others). He's done a bunch that have been featured on WGE.
I actually owned this but never got to play it due to owning a Region 1 PS2. I'm grateful for not getting to play it now. My maternal grandmother who is from England bought it for me while visiting London in 2008 or 2009 because pretty much anyone who knows me well knows that Robin Hood is one of my favorite characters and has been as far back as I can remember clearly. (A version of Robin Hood was the first book I ever read on my own plus I remember watching the Errol Flynn Robin Hood movie with my parents regularly when I was a kid and teenager. I'm sure Robin Hood is one of the main reasons the Heroic Rogue/Thief/Outlaw is one of my favorite character archetypes) She actually got me the PAL Robin Hood Gameboy Color game while visiting England in 2001 but that I was able to play due to Gameboy games not being region locked. That was a remake of the Robin Hood Prince of Thieves game from what I remember.
I have literally seen better Net Yaroze games. In every sense. (Were some *REALLY* fun games released on the old OPSM demo disks for that, in fairness...) But, seriously... who was responsible for okaying that game? Some games in this series you think are pretty awful but this *_has_* to be the worst of them.
I know I'm late to this video, but just as a reminder, in 2007 we had: Bioshock, Mass Effect, Mario Galaxy...and this. Compare this to ME. Go ahead, I dare you.
There actually was a BBC Robin Hood game, but it was an online browser game on internet explorer. They released a new level every episode. I remember it because I spent a lot of time as a child trying to beat the stupid Maid Marion flute rhythm game.
2007! not 1997? By 2007, we had Elder Scrolls Oblivion, Fable 2, Assasins Creed, Far Cry, Half Life 2, Gears of War, Metal Gear Solid 3, Bio Shock..and yet this game exists.
Just want to put it out there that Robin Hood: Men In Tights is the best Robin Hood movie ever made. Seriously under rated. If you've never seen it. Go watch it. If you have... Watch it again.
My girlfriend and I picked this up second hand for 50p with the intention of sending it in for a worst games ever episode. Now what are we going to do with it?
"even wow look's better than this". lol wow has had many visual upgrades and looks pretty decent in some aspects now, i would say this is worse than vanilla even tho so i get the sentiment.

Hold on. Didn't you send Little Britain as well?
Fricc you Adam, for cursing us with this worse-than-most game!
@@LJComposer I did, I sent some awful games in.
Thank you, Adam
But also...f*ck you, Adam.
How did you find yourself with a copy in the first place?
29:32 Ben with the WWE reference (Jeff Hardy vs Undertaker ladder match) ;)
"You must win, without your bow." Just imagine that it in weird Tennings voice.
These are my best day when you guys upload. Keep it up lads!
"I wonder what's in the chest. Maybe a better game?" This broke me 😂

You guys being six feet apart has actually made for some creative and delightful editing opportunities. Good job, Peter.
I honestly didn't think the game footage was that bad. And you guys clearly did the best you could with it. I'm glad you released it!
The Partridge 'liquid games' logo read was a highlight 😂
I don't think I heard a single Nottingham accent, brummie but that was as close as it got.
Congrats on breaching the 70k mark my dudes!
“Two player”
“No”
“How do I kill the guard?” *whistles*
I laughed so hard.
Tennings review actually finishes the game and the ending is just dumb.
I like how you can see each individual square section of the ground when the camera starts going up lol..
This could be the best one i've watched thank you for deciding to upload!
This game honestly looks frustratingly brutal. You deserve medals for playing 😂
well done for completing a single level... this one has to be the worst worst game ever!
2007? Morrowind came out in 2002! This game is truly rubbish.
This was 6 YEARS (SIX!) after Metal Gear Solid 2...
It’s like Fable except much, much worse.
49 seconds is about the maximum amount of time I'd want to play this game.

To give you a a idea of how bad this game is , it came out the same year as BioShock, COD4 Modern warfare ,Assasins Creed 1 and FUCKING CRYSIS!
Nice balance between the tragedy the game is and the joyful humor from you guys...having lots of laughs/ thanks

I feel like every game they play their souls die slowly
It's like a true to life Shadow of the Colossus. The more games they play, the more corrupt their souls become.
This was a really great episode guys. I love how furious Peter was about the dildo.
Looks like a poor man's fable, especially with those accents
Looks terrible for a PS2 game, never played it thankfully.
Thanks for this episode guys!! So funny, robin hood? More like robin could..n't do anything
I feel like the games keep getting worse and worse i fear for peeps and ben's sanity.
The voiceover sounds like Robert Webb
Great video as always chaps, never fails to make me laugh. Look forward to the next one.

out of all the games on WGE, this has to be in the top 10 at least for the worst
I imagine TP is permanently scarred by this game
Good lord, this was probably the worst game you guys have played, and after a couple of years that is saying something.

Well done boys, you've done it. You've found the worst game ever. I had to stop watching this the first time around.
This came out the same year as Assassin's Creed, Bioshock, Super Mario Galaxy and CoD4
BBC Robin of Sherwood (1988?) was awesome!
I can’t believe Seth Rollins licensed his laugh for this game
You gotta love the Jeff Jarrett strut on this Assassin’s Creed Odyssey dev kit
