3. Fantastic Four (1997)
Oh, boy. Fantastic Four do not get off lightly in this list, do they? We’ve gone from boringly easy to… what’s this? This game was made by… ACCLAIM ENTERTAINMENT?!? Not another one. No wonder it’s so bad! And, man alive, is it bad.
The worst part is the game tricks you into thinking it might be good. it’s not only a bad game, it’s a DEVIOUS game. You get to pick from any of the Fantastic Four plus She-Hulk, each of which have their own special powers. Then the game starts. The characters look awful and their animations look even worse. But the peak of terribleness comes in the form of the combat.
Ordinary punches and kicks take eons to do. Hell, controlling the characters takes just as much time. The response between the controller and the character onscreen takes it’s sweet time, I can tell you. It’s one of those games that becomes a chore to play. It’s not fun. And seeing as how “Games have to be fun” is kind of the main objective of any developer, I think Acclaim have failed momentously, don’t you?
