- 2002. What a year, eh? Yeah, admittedly we can't remember a single interesting thing about that twelve month period but that's probably a good thing, given that it saw the release of a whole bunch of terrible video games. From Game Boy Advance travesties like Legends of Wresting 2 and NFL Blitz 20-03 to a Toy "R" Us exclusive Xbox title by the name of Sneakers, here are the 10 Worst Games of 2002!

In 2002, Target was my go to for new console releases. For some reason, no one bought video games at my local target and I bought an Xbox and Gamecube at launch there.
@matt allen yeah but at any large retail store the stuff that doesnt sell gets marked down
it was like that where i live until probably 2014/2015
It's more that nobody cared about those at launch lol. It's not the 360 and switch dude.
sounds nice avoiding crowds is the best. Circuit City was my go to for Nintendo console launches cuz way less people go there vs other stores.
@@Yourmomgoestocolledge people definitely cares about the launch of the gamecube
2002. The era where you could buy butchered versions of everything for GBA for basically the same price as the normal consoles.
2022. You can buy butchered version of games for switch for the same price as Xbox and PS. Some things never change
@@YoDzOnHalo not the same at all.... Lower resolution or graphics is not even close to comparable to slapping the same name on two completely different games...
Except Max Payne.
@@icravedeath.1200 sonic shuffle got nice music
Ahhh yes 2002. I was 7 years old and soon to get my Gamecube. The very first console that was my own
7! Shit I was 20 setting up my new PS2 I'd bought myself for being a good boy 😄
Same. Took me a week to find a memory card after buying it too.
Damn... I was 17 haha, ps3 fun times.
I mean ps2 fun times... see these old hands of mine.
@@gamertagstories I've been Gaming for 34 years in April and my thumbs click when I bend them. Old hands indeed 😁
Speaking of Bruce Lee, am I the only one who wants a good The Crow game? Brandon and his dad deserve better representation in video games.
to be fair, the terrible Crow game was based on City Of Angels....so not Brandon Lee. But I'd LOVE a good Crow game based off the original movie if not the actual comics
Dragon was good to be first
Sifu ps5 just pretend you're playing as Bruce Lee
@@hyperleap4876 have you seen the Sifu mods on PC where you’re Neo and all the enemies are agents from the Matrix? And instead of that dev team making a John Wick game, some director wants to make Sifu a movie
@@drgonzo123 Oh no way that sounds so cool
Honestly surprised that there were games worse than Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly that released in 2002.
Shrek Super Party is definitely trash, for sure, but I've had dumb fun riffing on it with friends and family. It's the only Shrek game where you ride a scooter, drop sick beats and collect gems in a maze with tank controls after all.
@@willparker8498 The first 3 games and their remakes, the one after it (Hero's Tail) and even the Gameboy Advance games are a more worthwhile investment, give those a try if you're still interested
- *Shrek*
- *scooters*
- *tank controls*
You cant go wrong,
Needs a greatest hits edition
Shrek Treasure Hunt on the other hand…
In 2002 I bought Fellowship of the Ring for PS2 unaware that it did not have the film license. Sooooo bad..
The Gameboy Advance version of Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Rings is much worse, it was a horrible experience, it was the most glitchy Gameboy Advance game ever. I hated the slow tedious combat and my units often missed the enemies. My game even froze in the Mines of Moria and made me very upset and I discovered I had to press and hold some buttons to get past it. I won it and since then I got rid of it. It should've been buried in the landfill like ET cartridges.
I did however enjoy the PS2 game Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Rings and I was sad it ended on a cliffhanger, the PS2 version is much better than the awful Gameboy Advance game.
I did buy that too, but even fully knowing this. But I couldn't stand that I have PS2 games with the OTHER movie titles on it AND "The Third Age" but NO "Fellowship of the Ring".....so I HAD to buy that too to make the "Trilogy" complete, even if it's a complete different game.
Yeah, I am weird like this, but at least my mind could find peace that way......still have to come around to play it yet though....well...some day.
F in the chat for the kids who can't get any Toys 'R' Us exclusive games anymore 😔😔😔
They just need to go to Canada now. It’s a bit of a drive
F
I don't wanna grow up, I just wanna be a toys r us kid
As a proud owner of Sneakers I can say with a clear conscience, you’re right
I remember buying Mike Tyson boxing the first day it came out. I was heart broken at how terrible it was. Think I even returned it the next day
@matt allen Did you even watch the video
@matt allen nah man not punchout. He clearly states mike tyson boxing. Last I checked thats not punchout.
They actually took it? By me you were just fucked and had to trade it into GameStop.
@@willissudweeks1050 to be honest it was 19 years ago maybe I just took it back an traded it in. All I clearly remember is pure disappointment
@@brokenfacedclown1045 Yeah my mom used to get me games like that from the bargain bin and it was awful. I always had one good game like Mario Kart and all the rest were shit.
Remember when you were a kid and you got a game like this once a year cause you or your parents didn't know any better and it was just the best game in the God damn universe? Ah those were the days. I want my dopamine receptors back.
When you're 56 you'll wish you were as young as you are now. Go and enjoy life
Bonus dopamine factor if the game was based off a movie.
Shrek Super Party is a game that I can't dislike because I felt too nostalgic for it.
Oof "they've massacred my boy" probably not the best line to use when talking about Bruce lee
Godfather
......I didn't make that connection until reading this comment. Ouch.
Oof size=massive
Yeah what's next "Brandon shot to fame" 😄 naughty Peter triple jump.
@@ShadyKray omfg 😂
It’s funny because as a kid, I thought Sneakers was one of the coolest games ever. At the time, open world games weren’t popular yet, so seeing a game where you are looking for rats in different rooms of the house seemed like a really interesting concept. I do miss it though. I just want to see how bad it really is.
Literally same
Who else wants to see a "where are they now" about the girls they used for the Hooters FMV scenes?
Me
“Sneakers: 3 inches tall ain’t so small. You wish… I don’t. I have a humiliation fetish” - rebeltaxi 2020.
Sneakers is a game I’ve owned forever and have/will never play
I love it’s existence
I also own over 600 PS2 games and have never even seen Godai in my life
600 games?? gahdamn, I have to step up my ps2 game collecting.
@@moonlightequilibrium a lot of PS2 games were hella cheap and easy to develop, so it’s not *that* hard compared to something like the 3DS or GameCube
Wasn’t 2002 Vice City not GTA 3?
Tripple jump, inaccurate?! I am shocked 😜
Gta 3 released on windows in 2002
Man, I loved "Sneakers"! That movie should be so much-better remembered! I love techno-thrillers, and this one has River Phoenix, Robert Redford, Ben Kingsley, Dan Ackroyd, Sydney Poitier, Mary McDonnell, even freakin' Voice-Of-Darth James Earl Jones... such an awesome cast. I had no idea there was a videogame adaptation of it, so this should be really interesting.
EDIT: Funny, I don't remember Robert Redford turning into a mouse in that movie. Oh well, at least it doesn't have Wayne and Garth shooting bats.
I just re-watched that movie a few weeks ago. It is SOOO relevant in this day and age.
I hated games like these as a kid. My mom was cheap as hell and would get me some of these for Christmas. Out of the bargain bin. To her a game was a game.
To be fair, SOME bargain bin games ARE quite good. Oftentimes I found some there that aren't bad in any way, just...well, old. Seems like your mom had a special ability to always pick out the worst ones. Or the store she went to.
But for example, I got stuff like the Soul Reaver game for PS1 for really cheap out of one, and even back then when it still wasn't THAT old (mostly about half a year or so).
@@Justforvisit Well I was like 8 so it was normally crappy Disney ones and whatnot.
Timesplitters 2 on the GameCube was a classic. Loved it.
Woah wait what? TimeSplitters 2 was on the GameCube as well? For real? I always thought the PS2-Versions of 1, 2 and 3 I own would have been the only ones that ever existed 😮
I think I was like 13 when my grandma got me Sneakers. Wow. Fuck that game.
I was 6 and played it at some recreation center on multiple occasions, and as a result i'm kind of an apologist for it.
I was like 4 when I got it
Damn, my dad must’ve gone out of his way to buy every one of these games back in the day haha
I had the Bruce Lee game. Bought it because it stood out to me at GameStop back in 04. One of the first games I played which I actually hated. Good times..
I'm surprised that Spyro Enter the Dragonfly and Simpsons Skateboarding wasn't on the list.
Not referencing "stoonts on yah pedal bike" for the last entry has upset me to the point I can barely finish my garlic n' chips.
I’m noticing that the later the year, the lower the scores-most of the worst games from 1995 got decent stores. I guess it’s the same with me, since it seems that the bad games seem worse on more advanced systems.
It's a lot harder to fuck up in 2 dimensions with no physics or lighting.
MIke Tyson's sexual allegations had nothing to do with Nintendo removing him from the Punch Out.
His license ended one to two years before the sexual allegations had started. However he recently had lost the heavyweight champion title, so Nintendo didn't think it was worth renewing his license since he was no longer the champion.
2:48 This was brilliant.
I died a little inside xD
2002 also gave us the classic WWE SmackDown : Shut Your Mouth for PS2 and the classics The Legend Of Zelda : A Link To The Past and WWE Road To WrestleMania X8 (GBA)
That shrek game was awesome back in the day but I may have just been the right age
GTA Vice City came out in 2002 GTA 3 came out a year earlier!!!
It's a shame that Kingdom Hearts, Sly Cooper, and Ratchet & Clank aren't mentioned as some of the best games of 2002. All three including the first FF MMORPG, Final Fantasy XI count among the amazing games that came out in the same year despite 2001 having plenty of amazing games released.
On the other hand, Shrek Super Party, Spyro Enter The Dragonfly, and Sneakers are godawful, but not quite as despicably bad as the late into PS1's lifespan Santa Claus Saves The Earth.
Btw, I was introduced to Sneakers and a mediocre game which counts as Ninja Theory's first outing Kung Fu Chaos by Rebeltaxi in his second OG Xbox games video. Right next to other amazing games exclusive to the first Xbox console such as Crimson Skies, and Kakuto Chojin Back Alley Brutal, and franchises originating from the original PlayStation with Parasite Eve(during the Kakuto Chojin segment on the Islam chants controversy with the sequel to PE).
I didn't even know TDK made or published video games .. I just know them for cassette tapes and later CD-R.
The only reason I've heard of Demonworld: Dark Armies and Gravity Games Bike: Street Vert Dirt is because they, along with 2 more games, were named as the worst games of 2002 by Gamespot
It's pronounced "Wrastling"
When you say "our writer" you're reading it in the first person, so does that mean that they wrote this whole thing in the third person?...
My brain hurts.
I remember bike street vert dirt. I rented it back in the day. From what I recall I got through the first few levels but the only think I could properly do was grind.
The PC version of Hooter’s Road Trip wasn’t actually titled so and was instead released as Free Wheelin' USA without the Hooter’s license.
E.T. wasn't actually a bad game though...people were just too lazy to read the instruction manual.
The Shrek game is so bad I thought you photoshopped the heads.
You could say the numbers don’t lie and it spells disaster for Legends of Wrestling 2 at sacrifice
Oh man 007 Nightfire was such a surprise to me in how good it was.
I need to find this game.
The editing on this is fantastic, as is the script and voiceover as usual. I think the only issue I have is that there’s no Change to the music throughout.
If you're only going to Hooters for the wings, your really missing out. On the shrimp. At least the one time I went in college the shrimp was great.
These words I'm about to say are about to ring down through the generations.
'Ahem'
If I wanted the full Hooters "experience", why wouldn't I just drive there? Possibly with a couple of friends, and see which waitress would give me her number. Why would I play this dumbed down racing game, that makes me feel like I stumbled onto a lost level of The Guy Game?
Your first entry with Shrek having the tease of Smash Mouth (which was the movie’s famous licensed track) was such an inside joke with my friends being the greatest song of all time, that when the band actually put on a concert for our small town’s local fair we bought tickets and saw them live! Lol 😂 they were actually very entertaining and put on a good show and took us back to the simpler times and the underrated Mystery Men movie. Horrible song, great times
interesting trivia about legends of wrestling 2, only the european release included kendo nagasaki. big daddy, mick mcmanus, and giant haystacks.
Wow, Blitz 20-03 must have been REALLY bad if it didn't even get the, "Oh yeah, here we go, SPORTS TIME!!!" treatment. Yeesh, glad I could wait til I got home to play Madden '03 instead of buying a GBA for that paperweight of a game.
When they were making that shrek game they saw big head mode and thought "what if that was the what the whole game looked like?"
0:27 Did you mean Vice City? 3 was the year before.
They also showed the European boxart. Maybe it released in 2002 over there. I remember it was released soon after 9/11 (2001) in the States.
@@Yomeidient no it released in 2001 here in the UK (it is a UK produced game after all) I think what got him confused is that III was ported to PC in 2002!
Speaking of Hooters, did you know that they had an airline? No I’m not kidding
Wow i wouldn’t mind having a flight on there
@@therunawaykid6523 the airline is no longer around sadly
@@demontorch shame
As a kid, I remember Sneakers was really damn good and I loved playing the game. That game, Fusion Frenzy, Viva Piñata, Worms, and Cloning Clyde were my goddamn childhood, I swear 😅
This video actually made me laugh. Nice one.
Let’s gooooo, you guys are going with my suggestion and I love every bit of it. Happy thanksgiving everyone !!!
oh sh*t toys r us on this game 8:26
Ah, I got Godai. I ended up finishing or after so many years. The biggest gripe is the inability to replay without using cheats for level select. Or aka, after finishing the game it locks you in the ending cut scene. It's overly cheesy too.
That background music again! It's very trance like - is it possible to get a link of the audio of the background tune?
I saw Sneakers in an old EGM issue from 2001 around the time the Xbox launched. They wrote about it as a Nintendo killer and it was Xbox's answer to Mario in Japan. So 12 year old me was pretty hyped. I promptly forgot about the game until I saw it at Toys R Us 2003 or 2004 in the clearance bin. I wondered why it was a Toys R Us exclusive and wondered why I didn't hear it was released yet. When I played it I soon realized it sucked big time. I even tried to like it but it was so clunky.
Nothing good happens when you try to copy Mario Party, and the likes of Shrek, Sonic, and Animal Crossing learned that lesson the hard way
Wait animal crossing tried? Why when nintendo already have the Mario IP for mario party??
I'll make a defense for Sonic as a eternal fan as I think Sonic Shuffle was not too bad,it was ok tbh.
Or crash bandicoot... it really is weird only nintendo knows how to do it right.
@@glenndonnelly7730 Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival. Look it up at your own risk
If it's in a script, the pun WAS intended. Own your terrible pun!
Kiss kiss!
2:48 That made me legitimately laugh. Thank you. 😂
Shrek Super Party > Disney's Party. Now if you really want a overly complicated party game, Disney's Party is that game.
Pac-Man Fever tops both of them for complication.
Demon World 2 Dark Armies (the fist game never left the European continent) had a lot of potential but it ran like absolute dogshit and had a completely fucked save system on top of being prone to massive bugs and crashes. Also, it was very difficult (which is good, unless you are a jelly soft American) but it didn't explain anything about the complex mechanics (which is godawful). I actually beat it without having prior experience with the tabletop or the first game, but it was quite a difficult journey. And I didn't regret it. The game had a lot of soul and it kept pulling me back in until the end. Unfortunately that is all the game had.
2002 was indeed a great year, I got my first ps2 in April of 02 due to shortages. Same for GTA3, people seem to forget just how big that game was. It was tough finding stores that could keep it in stock, which in turn made it hard to find a console. Even though it released here in the states in 01, I didn't get my hands on it til 02.
Absolutely love your channel guys 😊. Been watching for a long time 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
There's no doubt about it; Demonworld was the product of the Dark Lord himself: Beelzeblob!
I'd rather see a best (obscure/less known) games of year X. But thanks and happy thanksgiving etc
Oof I was wondering if Godai was gonna be on this list. I still remember the day my mom bought me this game, which I only picked out cos it was a 2 player game. It was a choice between this and some anime single player game. I only got so far as I believe the water element, then I just couldn't pass it 😭
You couldnt tell me a THING about Shrek Super Party I LOVED that game as a kid! I remember renting it from Blockbuster just to turn around and buy it later on so to see it on this list I just had to comment my love for this game while it is here on the worst list it will always be a good part of my childhood fun!
Hooters road trip??? First time I’ve ever heard of its existence
Star Fox Adventures : Dinosaur Planet. One of the biggest disappointments of my life
When I saw that TOYS R US pic in the thumbnail I teared up.
Whats wrong with Hooters FMVs?
Exactly, looked alright to me 😉
Nothing, the narrator is just virtue signaling
I 'wish' that gravity games understood the 'gravity' of how shitty a game it is.
I'm looking forward to the day people stop talking about Shrek: no more movies, no more videogames, and especially, for the love of god, no more memes. Unfortunately, the earth's crust will split open and swallow us all whole before people will shut up about Shrek.
Worst games of 2002 are game of the year material in 2022
Trureeeee
I use to play that bike game as a kid, but only because it had one song on it that I was obsessed with back then and had no other way of listening to it whenever I wanted.
"Legends of Wrestling" sucked. Didn't matter if they had a sequel come out, the ONLY reason why that original title became SOMEWHAT interesting was the interviews on career perspectives given by the likes of the late, great Eddie Guerrero & Hulk Hogan themselves.
N64 NFL Blitz had cheats to strike lightning and have the ball on fire. Good stuff!
3:17 the licence just ran out, and he wasn't the champion.
Whoa whoa did you do boxing without "uh oh sportssss time!!" Oh dear
My birth year, this feels really odd.
Little kid lol 😆
@@MrAjking808 borther I'm 19, tell my spine I'm a little kid cuz it disagrees lol
I was 9. I got resident evil 2 on n64 for my bday. What an awesome time
Of course there wasn't tutorials, that's what the instruction manual was for. Back then sensible people read the manual so they didn't need to "fumble around with the controls"
0:28 HECK YEAH! TimeSplitters! ❤
I love this channel baby
dont you just love the complaint about "no tutorial"? the number of players complaining about having to play them should be around 95%.. so i am pretty sure the people that wrote that critique werent gamers :)
I still have the Bruce Lee game for Xbox
I still have Godai to this day, and never got past the first level with how bad the controls were. Really want to send it to them.
Imagine hooters road trip and guy game and playboy all in one game
I worked at GameStop in 2002. I remember the cover art of these turds well.
I like the best shrek game was shrek super slam.
I'm kind of a Sneakers apologist due to nostalgia. (I was 6)
The hooters thing, back when it came out that was pretty normal. The game was god awful but I have a feeling the 20% it got was because it had some pretty ladies.
Hooters made some questionable business decisions back then, like that game and Hooters Air which was a restaurant airline and Hooters girls stewardesses. And shortly after 9/11 when people weren’t too keen on flying.
I’m certain that is the reason people brought it
If you’re talking about women wearing revealing outfits, that’s still normal, in fact, it’s more accepted than ever… so idk what you mean by that
Oh yeah, here we go worst games time!
I forgot how amazing 007 nightfire was.i might have to replay that now.
Whenever someone tells you video games were better back in the day, just show them one of these video’s.
They really should rename the series universally panned because they say it so often
Spiderman 2002 is a Thanksgiving movie.
Love these videos
