The Worst Wii Game of All Time?

Everyone always talks about the best games around - but what do you reckon is the worst Wii game of all time?

I can't actually think of one off the top of my head - I prefer to rent, return and forget

Re: The Worst Wii Gme of All Time?

What about Super Monkey Ball? The controls just didn't work and playing it almost certainly ended in you throwing your remote at the TV in a fit of rage (the real reason for all those media reports of the Wii being dangerous).

carnival funfair games

Great idea - poor delivery.

So many times we tried to play it but had to pass the controller to someone else and the character would have a go before youd even picked up the controller!

Re: The Worst Wii Gme of All Time?

(I'll move this into the games thread) ...the worst Wii game I've played off the top of my head is Sports Island (the game has a green cover from memory).

Re: The Worst Wii Gme of All Time?

My friend bought Mad Dog McCree (a wild west shooter game) on impulse whilst we were out shopping. Got back to my place and put the game in and found that it was absolute pants!! It was definitely the worst game we have both every tried to play! She traded it in the next day for half the price she paid for it!

Re: The Worst Wii Gme of All Time?

I'd have to say samb di amigo... it just frustrates me so much as it has so much potential to be a great party game...but the controls don't always register making the later levels impossible...

Definetily Carnival games, this is pure garbage. Also what about Star Wars Clone Wars? Bought this for my son, what a pile of rubbish, just waving your controller around listening to the same old monotonous phrases. I always feel ripped off with most Wii games, because I always tend to get them for my son, although he does enjoy his lego games.
On the subject of rubbish games, don't know whether to take a gamble and get the new Horrid Henry game for Wii as he is a big HH fan

My vote goes to Anubis II, even though I only played it for about 10 minutes (which by all accounts is about a sixth of the game, lol). It is absolutely dire and it's Ninjabread Man (a game by the same devs) but just with different graphics. The level design and gameplay is the same! It's gotta be one of the laziest efforts by any developer in the history of gaming, plus I read that the game lasts about an hour and there's not even an ending. It just dumps you straight back to the title screen. All of the games mentioned in this thread are like GOTY winners compared to Anubis II!
