Ten Worst Xbox 360 Games

The Xbox 360 has been out for more than two years now, and while there have been a lot of great games released in that time, the 360 has seen its fair share of bad games as well. There isn't quite anything as epically terrible as Drake of the 99 Dragons or Aquaman like we saw on the original Xbox, where Xbox fans are proud to have them in their collection like a badge of honor, but there are plenty of stinkers that could reach those heights of fame and misfortune. Check out our full list of the Ten Worst Xbox 360 Games right here.

[decapitator]

In all fairness, Sonic the Hedgehog was garbage across all platforms. With that said, I am actually looking forward to the DS sonic game because it is been developed by Bioware.

[decapitator]

Damn, I have seen lower but thats really low. Why is that game rated so low ?

[skynidas]

yep that game really sucks

[sonarus]

i doubt it is as bad as hour of victory. I got it from a friend and it was terrible. Worst use of Unreal engine yet. The faces look like they were made with mud

[InYourMom]

Not a good game at all.

Actually this whole list I agree with. The biggest disappointments being Blacksite Area51 and Two Worlds because I had high hopes for both of those games so they stung extra hard when I found they were not very good.

[Shaka2K6]

For a terrible console.

[WIIIS1]

They got the list of worst 360 games just about right with many top PS3 games in it.

[poos3]

the multiplats on that list are some of the best ps3 games out there

[Rocko]

Then again, you probably bought Lair as well.

[marc 1975]

he got owned

[Breakfast]

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam

Biggest piece of garbage know to man...

[Kojima touches kids]

Lair is by far the worst game available on any platform.

[Breakfast]

I played about 15 minutes of lair at a friends. Thats about 10 more minutes than i played Gundam. I really dont even know why i played Gundam im no fan of the show or whatever it is.

Trust me that game belongs in the garbage, not a console.

[jackdoe]

I actually like Dynasty Warriors Gundam. Now Gundam Crossfire. That is a real, sh!tty game.

[Gish]

Make sure you don't take away the horrible glory of Area 51 away from PS3!! Let's people rag on something other than Lair (I liked Lair actually, just like if you hear horrible things about a movie, its hard to live up to the awfulness)

[masterdebator]

I liked the first area 51, but blacksite was garbage.

[Gish]

I never played the first one. I am sure Blacksite would have faired better if it hadn't come out at the end of the year during the golden months of last year.

[masterdebator]

My expectations were probably a little too high because I enjoyed the first one a lot, but they should of delayed it for a few months. It would probably made the game a whole lot better.

[bourner]

to 5.1 its not saying that the 360 is bad its just a look at the worst games that developers have made. just funny to talk about some of the games people made and there problems . dont go and stick up for 360 when no one is attacking it and just have a laught

[Gish]

Actually wasn't sticking up or putting down either. I only have a PS3, so I know it was a rough game for me on that. Plus I was just bored and felt like commenting. Wasn't one of my "deep thought provoking" posts. :)

[llamaman13]

actually hour of victory was really gay, i would have to say it had the worst online in a video game ever! the lag was unbearable!

[wow4u]

This is N4G. Never mind all the massive hits. Lets post stories about the turds.

Games like Halo 3, Mass Effect, BioShock, Forza 2, Gears of War, Lost Odyssey, Ace Combat 6, Dead Rising, Project Gothum Racing, Crackdown

Every one of those games has a higher meta critic score than almost every exclusive on the PS3 or Wii.

[otherZinc]

Where is the PS3 & Wii ten worst games. There would be to many choices & not enough room in this little box to write on.

n4user1:
you are so right, talk about the Massive hits that everyone buys & play online all day.

[jackdoe]

I'm surprised they forgot Bullet Witch. That was a bad game.

[HarryEtTubMan]

lmao at the Brickbox

[captainpwn]

My list:

5. Lost Oddessey
4. Project Gotham Racing 4
3. Dead Rising
2. Gears of War

and finally, get ready...

1. GAYLO 3

The 5 games are in. Xbugs will buy anything as long as it contains a gun or is on 4 discs or is buy a developer who ditched them. That's the life of the xbug. Wake up, hoping your console is back from repair, buy some games to "support" Micro$haft, later in the monh get a new xflop, and then call in to M$ within the next hour because the PoS is broken.

[Mycococo]

i really enjoyed playing Def Jam Icon back when i had a ps3 and thats all there was to play.

but really i would buy it for cheap again. if you were good at it it was fun. AND THE STORY.... LAUGHABLY AWESOME.

[Rocko]

Every game can't be AAA in such a HUGE library. PS2's library was huge, with plenty of crap. But you conveniently forgot that right? Sit the f**k down and shutup.

[t-0_ot-]

captainpwn - I don't believe that's happened to me. But, you sure seem familiar with the process.. what number you on? 18th??

And, don't be stupid, EVERY system EVER made had horrible games..

And, what's wrong with Dead Rising? That's a great game..

[Mycococo]

simply listed the games he is most jealous that are exclusive to xbox and not his console.

they are some of the most acclaimed titles so he most def has nothing important to say and i would bet his life is just as worthless as his comment.

FLESRUOY LLIK CAPTAINPWN

[00]

thats the worst game ever.

[GETPWNZORED]

LOL. Who knew the lifeless droid army would flock to this article? If they made a list for PS3, it would have to be "top ten PS3 games which aren't in the top 100 list of sh1t games ever made."

[Big Jim]

Gattaca: the game.

[devilhunterx]

Tenchu Z, Bullet Witch, America's Army, and majority of XBL Arcade games?

[InMyOpinion]

Tenchu Z should definately be on the list. PS2-emulator all over.

[KillaManiac]

Ya I agree with ur 3 list...those are PATHETICALLY terrible

Id say America's Army is the worst of em

[kingnick]

DOAX2 should have been on the list.

[I Call 9MM]

I had some pretty high hopes for Blacksite, and I was definately disappointed. It's not the worst game ever made (I'm sure Hour of Victory falls a lot closer to it then Blacksite does), but it definately "could have been left in the oven another 6 months". Another year in development worked well for Timeshift. That one wasn't the greatest game ever, but it was short and sweet and I enjoyed it. I can't say I didn't slightly enjoy Blacksite, but it wasn't anything special (well, maybe special like the special olympics). The multiplayer was passable and enjoyable in small spurts (kinda like playing Quake but your character must have a stick up their ass since they move so slowly), but with CoD4 and Halo 3, who needs this.

No, Blacksite was a disapointed, there I said it. At least I bought it on sale.

[sticky doja]

I disagree with them on Two Worlds. While it did have alot of problems I think the good aspects of the game more than made up for the faults.

[Nevers]

dude... I tried and tried but between that (explative) horse that I woulda gladly ground into dog food and the main guy searching for ... the TAINT... among the many many other horrible aspects; I just couldn't do it. IMO TwoWorlds was one of my biggest disappointments of 2007 and one of the worst games of all time.

[spandexxking]

and the ending to two worlds, oh god. heres an impression "you have saved your sister from the weird realm blue hues and OTT saturation. well done" game over. seriously the ending SUCKED big time.

[hamsterfist]

Bullet Witch?

That has to be the most broken POS game I have played on the 360. Black Site did not really deserve to be on this list, not the best game (pretty average) but easily not in the worst 10 for the 360.

[Mr Playboy]

Black site was a decent game

[Big Jim]

Mass Effect might very well be the worst video game I have ever played. It fails as an RPG. It fails as a shooter. The conversation trees are painfully boring and pointless. The vehicle sections are a hellishly un-fun horrific nightmare of blandness. The graphics made me want to kill myself. The inventory system was created by Satan as a means of punishing humanity. With the exception of the music, that game did not have one good thing in it. Not one. Damn you to hell bioware, you damn dirty apes. How did this game get made? How? How could this happen? Damn all you critics who gave this game a good score. You will burn in the deepest, darkest, coldest, hottest depths of the deepest dirtiest bowels of hell for giving that abortion good scores. How could that game happen? How? I mean........I mean, my God!.......Why?

[GETPWNZORED]

Hehehe, u big, fat liar.

[level 360]

See NASCAR is rubbish even in CGI form, the most atrocious form of racing sport ever.
Don't know how they can dig this blatantly boring race test really.

[Skizelli]

Says you. To the oblivious, I guess driving in circles, as people like you put it, would be pretty boring to watch, and I'll admit that I even get tired of it at times. But try driving in an oval as fast as you can without spinning the car out. It's not as easy as it looks. It's not the only racing sport to race in circles, either. People that try to simplify it by saying they just drive in circles seem to know nothing about the aspects behind it.

[hamsterfist]

Oh and people please stop linking this "top ten" whatever articles, they are pointless and are starting to get really annoying. Maybe I will create a top ten reasons why top tens suck.

[Havince]

deffo two worlds, i managed to fin it but it could have been better

i agree with the guy uptop VAMPIRE RAIN by far the worst

[THWIP]

This guy had such a hard time finding 10 bad games on the 360, he actually had to pick a few multiplatform games to fill it out. :p

[devilhunterx]

Tenchu Z, Bullet Witch, America's Army, and majority of XBL Arcade games...

[wow4u]

Thankfully, there are far more good games than poor ones.

For every turd, there has been an exclusive stellar performer.

And, unlike the competitors, the stellar games are far more frequent.

[BWS1982]

how the site has links to buy the games they abolish to such a fate...

[ambientFLIER]

Hah, you'd never see a list like this for the PS3, because EVERY game on it is bad :P

[Mr Playboy]

Especially Lair

[Phil Harrison Mk4]

100 Worst xBox360 games!!! ;-D
CR*P CONSOLE
CR*P GAMES
CR*P FANBOYS!!! ;-D

[BLUR111]

one comment... spam

[t-0_ot-]

Phil Harrison Mk3 - Your just jealous that your... wait a minute.. your not with Sony no more.. nevermind.

[brothersimon]

lolol

most of these games are multiplat so it dont really matter

as they will suck only another 20% more on ps3 as all ps3 multiplat games. :)

[Savior X]

They're going to port Two Worlds to PS3 !!! Why waste the Blu- Rays?

[Z501]

the 360 leads in this catagory.
Just sayin'

Shrek the Third
Spider-man:Friend or Foe
Samurai Warriors:Empires
Warriors Orochi

etc...

[Agent46]

There's a lot of dross on that list. But Vampire Rain wasn't necessarily bad, in my opinion. It's certainly an acquired taste, but that's like criticising Katamari Damacy for being too 'quirky'. Def Jam Icon too - certainly not my cup of tea, but is it a dreadful game?

[Bleucrunch]

I agree with the list but all the consoles have crap games (more so on the wii) it comes with the territory, this is why some rent before they buy, others just bank on reviews (which is really stupid and naiive) and others are like me who just buy what they like and dont rely on anyone else to make up their minds for them.

[Bastard 360]

And what's more laughable is the fact many have been absent for ages; and coincidently it's all been negative xbox 360 news for months now, is this all you xbugs have to go on. That you think many of the worst 360 games are some of the best PS3 games, i don't think so losers, most games on the 360 pre ps3 error were crap they had like 2 good games Oblivion and GOW, now Oblivion is on PS3, what has MS exclusivly released since then that's all that great, that i can't get on a pc? Halo 3, Mass Effect is that it, whoa a real reason to waste hundreds of dollars, a smart way to waste hundreds of dollars would be to play beyond on a ps3, welcome chang3 it's arrived and here to stay.

[sak500]

LOL, xbox negative news for months. WEll if you count 20 RROD articles 20 articles of when for 2 months 360 sold few units less than ps3 as negative news. HD losing had nothing to do with 360 as games console and fact being only few 100k sales of HD player for 360. Keep waiting for your games to release on time, now the only bad thing for 360 is getting delayed and crappy games because of having them being multiplatform. It never had these many mediocre games in its first year. So since devs are scared of being thought of as xbox supporters they have to deliberately gimp 360 versions to make both versions look same.

[bumnut]

what about earth defense force?

[Evil Rant Monkey]

My thoughts exactly. That is defiantly the worst game for xbox 360.

[TwissT]

I hated Def Jam Icon, they really ruined the Def Jam series by taking out the blazing moves and introducing that stupid dj disk scratching mechanic, it was really unneeded.

[TheKungFool]

Its the same old flawed arguement over and over again; 360 supporters ignorantly talking about how the PS3 "has no games" even though 90% of the 360's "better" games are on PS3 anyways:

CURRENT MULTIPLATS:

Oblivion, DMC4, RockBand, Assassins Creed, CoD4, HL2:OrangeBox, Guitar Hero III, Eternal Sonata, Army of Two, Bully, The Club, Lost, Ninja Gaiden, Darkness, Fear, R6vegas, Ghost Recon AW2, NBA'08, NFL'08, MLB'08, NHL'08, Lego Star Wars, UT3, Turok, Tony Hawk P8, Burnout Paradise, Kane & Lynch, Dirt, Enchanted Arms, Tiger Woods 08, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Tomb Raider Legend, Tomb Raider Anniversary.....

AND THEN PS3 OWNERS HAVE THIER OWN EXCLUSIVES:

Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, Warhawk, Resistance FoM, Folklore, MotorStorm, Lair etc....with upcoming exclusives like FFXIII, MGS4, GT5, Killzone2, Haze, Little Big Planet, God of War III, Team Ico Project etc.

C'MON, seriously now, anyone claiming that the PS3 "has no games" is either grossly miss-informed or just kidding themselves.

[I Love Xbox 360]

Woohoo Logic FTW !!!
Bubbles For You My Friend.

[Rhezin]

and anyone saying xbox 360 has no games "is either grossly miss-informed or just kidding themselves." Right back at yah, queer.

[TheKungFool]

but nobody said that.

and I'm not a queer, though you're welcome to dream while you wait for MS to ship your 360 back to you.

[Excalibur]

This article comes off like these are exclusive to the 360 which they all aren't.
Second. Black Site was not that bad of a game. granted it wasn't the greatest game I've ever played but there are tons more that should have been in the top 10 before that one.

[XB-T]

Halo 3 not on the list? Tztz what a joke

[Boldy]

NBA'08, NFL'08, MLB'08, NHL'08, Tiger Woods 08, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Bully, Lost- Good games? Nice job on filling the list with a bunch of games that hardly any Xbox 360 owners have.

Ninja Gaiden, wow are you serious? NG1 was an XBOX 1 game and released Sigma on the PS3. You cannot call that an Xbox 360 game. It is backwards compatible on the 360 but is not a 360 game.

I like how you actually list only PS3 exclusives and refuse to post Xbox 360 exclusives. For a second there I thought your comment was biased.

[TheKungFool]

1) The sports titles I listed are legit; just because you personally don't like sports games doesn't mean sports game players didn't like those games.

2) So "Ninja Gaiden Sigma" doesn't count because its an update of an Xbox game now? So I guess that means "GhostRecon:AW", "Marvel Alliance", "SplinterCell:DA", "Bully", "Tomb Raider Legend" and so forth aren't technically on the 360 just because they're on the PS2 already? *rolling eyes*

3) And of course I didn't list the 360 exclusives, my post was about people saying the PS3 had no games. What good would listing 360 exclusives be on a list of PS3 games?????

[DevastationEve]

Think logical people: there is no proven algorithm that concludes that a particular console exhibits a definite affinity toward sucky games. It's all on the stupid developers that put the sh*t in boxes and shove it onto shelves for the uneducated to devour. Any title they can shove out the door and make 10bucks off of will put cheese in the burger for 'em, so they do it for 60bucks and get the full combo.

The truth is, not all developers out there put their bleeding hearts into their productions. Very few will ever put into 10 games what Kojima puts into 1.

[cRaZyLeGs 93]

For once there isn't a huge fanboy war! There are some fanboy comments but oh well. I played the demo for Vampire Rain for 5mins and it was horrible!

[TheKungFool]

the History Channel's "Civil War" isn't #1 on that list.

[Domer25]

actually your an idiot.

[Variable]

hmm Def Jam wasn't that bad, or was it?

And NASCAR 08 should be a little bit higher in the list, that game REAAALLLYY sucked. That was pure crap

[RAM MAGNUMS]

$60 Dollars... 1 of the worst!!! Has got to be a game I know was made only for a DVD!!! A game only that has no EXCUSE!!! ASSASINS CREED made by UBISOFT... Go ahead - Talk amongst yourselves.
RAM MAGNUMS HAS SPOKEN...
