PS2 Worst PS2 games

Now THIS. This is an absolute garbage of tie-in anime/manga games.

(Part 5 game actually slaps, on the other hands. Giorno and Narancia were funny as hell to control)
 
Space Invaders: Invasion Day is one of those games I always used to see in the used clearance section and after playing it all these years later I know why. It's fun for maybe five minutes before it sets in that this is all the game is. Then you think "alright, that's enough, I'll come back" after playing for 20 minutes or so. Nope. You, as far as I'm aware, have to beat the story mode in a single sitting. Correct me if that's wrong but I couldn't find any sort of save or continue option. Overall? Not great.
 
TMNT mutant melee
I played that TMNT game and I found it clumsy, slow and almost unplayable and the most I could get was up to the laboratory level where you have to face a lizard, a ninja foot with invisibility ability and the 4 big mechanoids that lowers a lot of life with the onslaught and I also tried many times to not even then I could pass that level and that's as far as I got.

I didn't get far maybe 15-20 minutes in before frustration got the better of me
 
I don't recall playing any games I would call outright bad but games I find "mediocre" often upset me more than something that's bad; I can find fun in a game that's bad, much like enjoying a movie that is so bad it loops back to being good. Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is a game I would say is frustratingly boring and mediocre but not outright bad. It's a sound game that sets out to do a whole lot of nothing special using an IP that would lend itself really well to more interesting game.
 
Jesus fucking Christ, that’s a deep cut. Didn’t it turn out to just be a poor, bare-bones 3D Tetris? I’ve never played it myself — I ain’t that crazy.
Anyway, great contribution!

I think it was a few minigames, or that's what I seem to remember from checking the back cover years ago. I could have bought it for 0.5€, maybe I should have...

I played a PAL-exclusive Xena game recently, which was an absolute nightmare.

Honestly, if you see this lil Blast logo on any PS2 game, you're probably in for a bad time.

Yeah, for 50 cents, you might as well have picked it up for your collection — though, if you ask me, it’s not that big of a loss.
 
Surprised nobody mentioned Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex and Pac-Man Fever.

Wrath of Cortex is in my opinion the worst Crash game ever made. Crash feels like he's weightless, the levels are rehashed from what the PS1 games did in the worst ways possible. Enemies in said levels might as well be brain dead there's a few levels that are in a lab and there are lab assistant's that throw chemicals in one direction. They don't follow your movement and this problem is amplified by how wide the halls of said lab are so you can literally just walk past them.

This issue is present in a lot of the levels.

Pac-Man Fever is the most bland and uninteresting Mario Party clone I've ever played. Imagine Mario Party, but none of the boards have a unique gimmick aside from their aesthetic and there's no duel specific mini games.

You can choose the length of the game via the length of the board, but even short games are a slog because movement across spaces is not decided by a roll of the dice, it is decided by how you place in the mini games. Doesn't sound bad right? Wrong. There's no Power Star equivilent and every board is literally just a race to the end. So you just got Mario Party: Oops! All Mini Games edition.

Wrath of Cortex isn’t even that bad. Sounds like you watched that pos named LS Mark. In fact, I might prefer it over It’s about time because at least it isn’t consistently frustrating and doesn’t have a fucking nearly impossible task to 100% the game and reward you with a shitty cliffhanger ending that will never get resolved. It is not the worst crash game. It’s a B Tier at best.
