Line 135:
* ''[[Alice in Wonderland (2010 video game)|Alice in Wonderland]]'', the video game adaptation of [[Tim Burton]]'s [[Alice in Wonderland (2010 film)|2010 film]], was a decided letdown to fans of the movie. Many of the battles are unintuitive, and the player doesn't even play ''as'' Alice—rather, as five residents of Underland (though they do fortunately consist of fan-favorites such as the Mad Hatter), who have to make their way through the entire map while preventing [[The Load|Alice]] from being captured. It's not horrible, but it's extremely disappointing.
* Two of the games from the ''[[American Girls Collection]]'' for the Nintendo DS, namely ''Julie Finds a Way'' and ''Kit Mystery Challenge'' were given scathing reviews, mainly due to piss-poor gameplay and controls. The ''American Girls Premiere'' game for the PC and Mac was [[So Bad It's Good/Video Games|a different story, though]].
* For the 2012 Battleship movie, they are of course releasing a tie-in game. Is it based on the classic turn based original? Maybe naval combat like the last game to
* For a short time, Burger King had three Xbox (360) games that starred their namesake [[The Burger King|King]] character. Gameplay was simplistic and boring, the graphics were totally underwhelming for the platform and reviews ranged from bad to awful. Their only redeeming quality was that they were $4 and the main character was [[Nightmare Fuel|Creepy Burger King Mask Guy]] which puts them dangerously close to [[So Bad It's Good]] territory. (The game ''Sneak King'' involved ''sneaking up on'' hungry people and ''forcing'' them to eat Burger King food.) With these in mind, they sold millions and became [[Cult Classic|cult classics]] for many gamers.
* ''[[Deal or No Deal]]''. If you don't want to follow [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxysFE2_kDs this video] out of fear of the [[Cluster F-Bomb]], then just lots and lots of clicking on briefcases.
Line 176:
* The ''[[NCIS]]'' video game was very poor and described as "a point and click adventure without the venture".
* Usually, the ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' franchise is a great crossover adapting many [[Humongous Mecha]] series. But the ball was dropped '''hard''' for ''[[Super Robot Wars K]]''. Between flaws like the [[Scrappy Mechanic|malfunctioning]] Partner Battle system, [[Plot Hole|poor story]][[Cosmic Deadline|writing]] and a main character that [[The Scrappy|fans hardly like]], it's no wonder that this game is considered the worst entry.
