What is the worst Sega game?

[PhantomTohsaka]

Yeah that's the title, the worst Sega game.

Copying this from the last thread, as it's still accurate to me.

A couple contenders, depending on your definition of it.

Worst Sega game on one of their systems? Gonna go for the Make My Video series on the Sega CD. FMV at its absolute nadir, and does not help the CD's reputation.

Worst to come from their own R&D branches (AKA Sonic Team)? Sonic Free Riders. Yeah, everyone dunks on '06, but at least you don't have to tolerate the Kinect (not to mention Flynn literally forgetting its existence when making the Encyclospeedia).

There's also Sonic Jam on the Game.com, which was his first outing outside a Sega system. To put it bluntly, it's a total dumpster fire like the system is (barring its intended innovations).

Sonic 06.

Sega titles I personally consider to be poorly made or disappointing:

• Sonic '06
• Shadow the Hedgehog (I liked this one.)
• Rise of the Robots
• Shaq Fu
• Dark Castle
• Sword of Sodan
• Heavy Nova
• Action 52
• Last Battle
• Batman Forever
• Captain Planet and the Planeteers
• Virtua Fighter Animation
• Bugs Bunny in Double Trouble
• Exodus: Journey to the Promised Land
• Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Game Gear)
• Ultraman: Towards the Future
• X-Perts
• The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends
• Pit-Fighter
• Ballz 3D

"Shaq Fu" had cool rotoscoped animation and good music, at the very least.

Actually by Sega? It's probably still Cyber Shinobi, all these years later.

Either Sonic 06 or The Secret Rings.

Sonic 06.

I felt that it was a super low-hanging fruit to even bring up, but yes... It truly is garbage.

I don't even know what it's trying to be: the intro feels like someone had modded Sonic into Final Fantasy, the actual gameplay felt like a bad port of Sonic Adventure; and the writing seemed straight out of the cartoon, the one that had the Sonic Says segments.

That said... Chaotix is still the worst one for me, even when it felt cool and had great characters. Much like how Nintendo forfeited having an original Mario game on the Virtual Boy, barring Sonic from its sole 32X entry felt like an admission of defeat.

"...Secret Rings."

Too many painful memories I had with that game as a kid lol.

I've never played Sonic 2006, but I know what the game is like, and the videos I watch are awful.

I actually love playing '06. It's a mess, but it's a really funny mess. PS2 Sonic Heroes and Game.com Sonic Jam are just painful. They stop being funny almost immediately.

I don't know what the absolute worst game is though. Afterburner 3 is one that pisses me off.
