IGN calls Dave Mirra BMX Challenge the worst game evar?

That bad?


They say that the textures are bland and frame rate sucks. They say that the soundtrack is pretty much lifeless and generic. They say the gameplay is a big "no." They say that the only this it has going for it presentation-wise is character customization (and only that). They say that you can beat the game in three hours and after that, there's no reason to go back.

Now, we ask, do you guys agree? If in you don't, then why?

About the only game this blogger can think of that sucks as much as this was Superman for the N64 by Titus. But that one got a score of 3.4 from IGN. Given that GameTrailers named Superman64 the "worst game of ALL TIME" and it got a 3.4, does this mean that we've got a new winn.. er, all time worst?

Too bad it had to be on the PSP. Oh well, so much for the nice looking screens.

Since I'm feeling a bit too happy today (uh-oh, sounds like a mental condition. oh dear, he's - more than happy - ) I'll post the YouTube vid of the worst games of all time here. Try to see from their list how Dave Mirra's game compares.

Every game with a bad frame rate sucks, period. It just pisses me off in general and I don't think it's worth playing.

honestly, the way he moves on the bike when you do spins made me feel like I was playing "California Games" on the NES again.



I would agree that this is a terrible game. Worst game ever?... ... ... yeah, it's right up there

I have played the game, it's similar to Mat hoffmans BMX, yes the first version on PSone, but even that was better then this *****.

This is the second worse game for the psp the first is FROGGER but hell Mista Mirra career is going nowhere so are his games. PASS on this one. I tried playing it and the controls are the worst for a racing/tricks game, hell I wouldn't even bother downloading this one. Free or elsewise forget it this game sucks. I give it a .5 out of 10

» Hmmm

This game really does suck big time, but remember Gravity Games Bike: Street, Vert, Dirt from a few years ago? And also, Winter Games on NES? Those were even worse.



Real BMX is much more fun.

by dsmx - 2006-11-28 07:47
» thats unfair

If it can beat big rigs on the PC that is some achievement have a look at gamespots video review of this game to see why this game has a lot to live up to, to be classed as the worst game ever.

by dankav - 2006-11-28 08:29
» ***** this game

I give a big 1.5 for this game, if you know what i mean !And Tetris shoud be at first pole. I still play it on my psp.

by DerDude - 2006-11-28 08:46

HA! I had a feeling the worst game ever would be on the PSP, the worst handheld ever.

by jeffy777 - 2006-11-28 09:28
» Dang it....

by PspFan - 2006-11-28 14:56
» yeah it really sucked!!!

Terrible gameplay and graphics... What else can i say.

Thats how bad it sucked, so much that it couldnt even make the list in the video lol.

I was excited to play Dave Mirra PSP, and when i did, i was ready to puke. if you play ANY other Dav Mirra game, ranging from the original on PSX all the way to part 2 on new consoles, dont expect this game to be in 1% similar to those games. you CANNOT free ride, like in past games or even tony hawk games. this is a RACER. gay gay gay.

by GOSTone - 2006-11-28 16:43
» shoot me

i bought this game, because i liked dave mirra on xbox, this is the absolute worst game... but now im at 1.5 so :)

by 928 - 2006-11-28 19:33
» None

I was so exicted that a Dave Mirra game finally came out for PSP then when I played it I was so disappointed...I wouldn't recommend buying this game or even playing it...Save your money and get something better

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US HAHA



Also on the second worst game ever, wand of gamelon, they should have said the series of legend of zelda games on the cd-i since they were 3, wands of gamelon, zelda's adventure, and another I forgot the name.
