Over the years there have been some truly dire games released on all platforms. We can instantly think of some really bad examples, such as ET on the Atari 2600.
However have you ever played a game that didn't receive very good reviews, but you personally really enjoyed playing?
One game that I really enjoyed was The Fifth Element on the PSX. This received some very bad reviews and scores on release. However a friend of mine was a big fan of the film so bought the game on release. He bought the game round and we played it one afternoon, and I really enjoyed it. So I borrowed it from him that week and completed it.
The game is a third person action shooter, similar in idea to Tomb Raider, but a bit more limited. The game roughly follows the events of the film, with each level being a section from the film, such as the airport or city. The graphics were not as bad as the reviews made out, although the draw distance was very short, which made the platform jumping sections quite hard to negotiate. Sometimes you couldn't even see the platform you were meant to be jumping too. And the camera wasn't that great in some levels as being at the right angle to see where you were going.
However, even with the flaws I really enjoyed it. I must have, because I wouldn't have completed it otherwise.
So any games you liked that were not giving a good review?
