Gaming The Worst GBA games

[Diosoth]

Tringo. They took what is basically a minigame from freebie Second Life and found a way to charge money for it. It's fun for the whole of 2 minutes you'll look at it.

Serious Sam Advance. It's hard to actually shoot ANYTHING at a distance. I couldn't beat level 1, because there's a room where they make you fight 2 werebulls in a confined space with the pistol.

Dark Arena. No music... controls are okay, but you get stripped of all weapons/ammo when you start a new level.

Doom and Doom II. Did we need these versions? Grainy, low-res Doom with simplified controls, butchered music, I can go on...

Sonic Battle... while it's not terrible, your oppponent has no visible health bar. The story goes on and on, coupled with being rather boring to begin with. You'll mash buttons to perform moves as they're literally no instruction given on how to do anything. Cream the Rabbit is a playable character for some unfathomable reason. Knuckles has the IQ of a melting stick of butter and we get to sit through Rouge the Unlikeable B**** whining about jewels for more than necessary. Actually, I just feel as if the writing staff for this game really hates all the characters and went out of their way to make them all insanely idiotic in their behavior.

Dude, for Sonic Battle, that's why they included an instruction manual, so you'll know what to do.

Also, I can't believe no one brought up Tiny Toons: Scary Dreams...that game turned Buster Bunny into a Streets of Rage/Final Fight Brawler. Its terrible, with some of the assistanting characters that are broken or just plain corny.

Noddy in Toyland
Elf Bowling
Mortal Kombat Advance (the controls made it unplayable

)

Sonic Genesis is a pretty nice pick! It's an amazing game turned into a pile of crap!

And the laughable difficulty. If the AI was not killing you in 10 seconds, it was letting you push you to the edges of the screen without fighting back. Yes, it was THAT well scaled the difference between Easy and Normal.

Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis and MKA are the worst games in GBA, period. Elf Bowling could have been even worse than them, but these two tried to be "serious" games. Elf Bowling is nothing but a crappy port of a crappy flash game.

the whole NFS Series...

crapy graphics and controls...

Being a huuuge fan of the Broken Sword series, I was dissapointed with the version they released for GBA. It just did not
deliver.

Well to be honest it was the best that the GBA could do considering the interface and all. Hoping the new DS version will be much better.

I like this game.
It aint a bad remake of the pc version seeing the fact this is a GBA game.
Gonna play it for a bit ^^
Good old times.

GTA advance

GTA advance

Ah c'mon man! It wasn't the best game but it was far from the worst IMO. It was very similar to the first 3 games (GTA London being the *real* 3rd game). It can't be held under the same light as GTA3+ because many games are crap in comparison to them. But for the people that liked the original overhead view GTA games then it was much better (at least IMO).

 

[Evilmaster1985]

The only bad thing about GTA on the GBA is that when you drive into other cars they kinda bounce away.
This is very unrealistic and if that wasnt the case I would actually be able to enjoy this game.

[DanTheManMS]

Yeah man, I know what you mean. I refuse to play Tetris because it's so unrealistic.

>_>

 

[Evilmaster1985]

Oh my oh my.
So u tell me bumping cars can be compared to tetris being unrealistic.
We both know u dont.

(It was a joke)

Oh good lol - you scared me ^^

I don't think you could say that Pokemons are the worst game on GBA, maybe you don't like them, but it's surely not the worst based on that..

Oh, I don't know - the OP wanted the worst games, and I certainly rank anything Pokemon on GBA to be amongst the worst games in existence. Mind you, I really detest these "franchise-style" series where the publisher's main aim is to get kids to part with their cash without putting any effort into game development at all. As games go, Pokemon is up there with Barbie in the crapness stakes.

D.

I will admit that there hasn't been much change in a pokemon game since ruby/sapphire but why mess with a wining formula? Also how can you say they put no effort into development of the game? There is a pretty complicated stat building/leveling system that makes facing others a lot more fun. I'm not a pokemon fanboy but just because you dislike a game it doesn't mean its one of the worst games out there and comparing it to barbie? I'm willing to bet you have never played a barbie game and your just naming things you think suck(Although I admit it does suck, played barbie skate on my nieces gba). I hate Halo and it's sequels but I don't say its one of the worst games for xbox.

Well, that's exactly how I feel about this thing!
I don't think it should be called THE WORST game for GBA!
Especially when it actually called one of the BEST games for it, even tho I don't like later sequels!

Not every used game has a manual with it(let's not get defensive here, Gamestop actually has a company policy to throw them away). Even checking a guide, I still found it tedious, long and generally boring to try and play through.

I don't think enough people remember Tiny Toons to pick up a brand new game based on a cartoon that's been off the air for a decade. Actually, that seems to have been a GBA trend- find some outdated license and made a game for it. Betty Boop even got a mediocre, generally-hated DS game, and really, WHY?
