I just watched the video review (sign up was free, just used a junk email account I didn't care about)

You can go 398423908 mph doing donuts. You can drive through buildings (no collision detection whatsoever)
You can drive up and down the mountains, never losing speed
If you keep driving off the map, you'll end up floating in space

Christ, that's some bad programming

Hmm I can't remember the game's title but there was this PC Mud Racing type game (you know those mud buggys or whatever they call them) released around 5 years or so back. PC Gamer gave it one of the funnier reviews I've read in a while it started off with "Just how bad is this game? It's so bad that you'd have more fun stripping naked, covering yourself with honey, duct taping a pair of steaks to your rear and then jumping into a cage with a pack of rabid grizzly bears" or something along those lines :)

Gods and Generals used to have the worst review at gamespot. I guess this other game beat them out. Of course if you factor in the readers reviews the trucking game got a 3.6, wheres GNG got a 3.0.

I honestly look for the lowest-rated games in gaming magazines. The reviews are much more amusing.

The supposedly computer-controlled truck you're supposed to be racing against in the game never actually moves.

LMAO! :beer::D

Oh man, that game sounds horrible. How could you even face daylight knowing you released a game that bad!?!? I hope someone puts the creators out of their misery, it would be the decent thing to do.

The video review is hilarious. No collision detection, you can drive off the map, you drive right through bridges, you instantly win races.

YOUR'E WINNER!

Hey, I remember that game, there was no point to it. You just feel in holes, tried to extend you neck to get out (which never worked) and then ate M&M's if I recall correctly.

i remember that pos game :(

The best review I ever read was from Computer Gaming Magazine for Postal 2.

The game got 0 out of 5 stars. In the little box at the end of the review (supposed to summarize the review) it simply stated:

NO!
