X-Men: The Official Game is pretty awful. [July 2006, p.71]

Although the game holds an intriguing and extremely likable protagonist in the plucky slacker Zoe Castillo, the rest of the game in the gritty parlance of the streets, blows enormous monkey chunks. [Jun 2006, p.49]

X-Men: The Official Game is pretty awful. [July 2006, p.71]

All dogs go to heaven? Not hardly. This one rots somewhere else. [Dec. 2006, p.86]

There are many reasons to be appalled by this game, but it all starts with a poorly designed game engine that's spazzy to the point of near unplayability. [Dec 2003, p.100]

Utterly deflated. [Aug 2004, p.58]

There are many reasons to be appalled by this game, but it all starts with a poorly designed game engine that's spazzy to the point of near unplayability. [Dec 2003, p.100]

The crude mechanics of the end result and the antiquated, bland look of the arena make it all a tedious exercise with zero payoff. [Feb 2003, p.90]

The game part of the game has you snapping pictures and keeping stray dinos under control, which couldn't be a more miscalcualted idea in modern game design. [Apr 2003, p.62]

As boring and mundane a steering exercise as you will ever find. [Feb 2003, p.91]

Dislike it because it's a tired game on a tired engine. You could press those boobs against the screen and it still wouldn't make this game any good. [Jan 2003, p.79]

Feels flat and recycled, a perfunctory exercise to suck in the remaining loyalists. [Dec 2002, p.86]

Worse still are the "Gaddgets" that are your rewards - completely boring and devoid of any enjoyment. [May 2005, p.73]

I buy games to explore other worlds, and the Wii seems satisfied with merely distracting me from this one. [Oct 2007, p.90]

Both the fighting and exploration are poorly executed, and the visuals look like they leapt right out of a medium-quality NES title. [Jan 2004, p.76]

An exercise in repetition and costume changes that's part ragged arcade fighter and part "oh God, why am I playing this?" [Sept 2003, p.80]

Aquaman is to underwater action what the man of steel is to airborne antics - crappy - and on Xbox nonetheless. [Oct 2003, p.73]

What potential it still may hold is then nearly erased by a slipshod port to the DS and the realization that, on a screen this physically small, solving puzzles that rely so heavily on visual clues is an exercise in frustration. [May 2008, p.65]

What I'm opposed to is a crude, unattractive, senseless war game like Shellshock: Nam '67. [Oct 2004, p.76]

The levels are unorganized, ugly, and totally unsatisfying. [Apr 2008, p.60]

Foist this game on a hated enemy; it's surprising a bomb this big doesn't come ticking. [Oct 2005, p.70]

The fact that you have to hold down the manual button to keep it going is simply preposterous; it's nearly impossible to transition to a grind or another trick. [Dec 2002, p.90]

After playing "X8," legends looks pathetic. This is just not good. [July 2002, p.82]

The world's worst racing game continues to spread like a virus, making the GameCube (a port for every port!) its final destination. [May 2002, p.58]

The main problem (of the many) is the terrain, which is rolled out before you like carpeting – a flat texture rolled over smooth humps and hills. [Feb 2002, p.61]

Every task is spelled out. Superman's world is flat and lifeless, and the arthritic man of steel does indeed move as if he were indeed made of the substance. [Jan 2003, p.80]

Feels as if the people making it hated Star Wars, because honestly, it would be hard to make something much worse. [Aug 2002, p.76]

A soundtrack so preposterous I forgot the Mazda zoom-zoom jingle for almost a full minute. [Apr 2002, p.62]

Anemic character animation and poor modeling, which really don't get much worse in modern game design. [Jan 2004, p.66]

It's hard to believe this is a Konami game, as it looks and feels more like the type of crap that put 3DO six feed under. The character design, models, and animation are painfully bad, and teh gameplay is so arduous it's almost insulting. [Aug 2004, p.57]

I'm not joking when I say the people who purchase this game would be better off if the case was empty... The worst game I have ever played. [May 2003, p.62]

If you're ever wondering how high shit can be stacked, take a look at Jackass the Game, a bleary, depressing, craptastic "adventure" based on a bleary, depressing, craptastic TV show. [Mar 2008, p.64]

There's hardly a semblance of gameplay here, and the game rarely even offers a laugh. Smut isn't what gaming should be about. [Nov 2004, p.75]
