Possibly one of the worst N64 games gets a full video review I just found this a couple of minutes ago on google video, and I must say that I never realised how truly bad this game really was...

Have a lookie:

(highly amusing. May induce nausea)

And don't forget: The rings.... (watch and you'll see why)

Indeed, one of the worst games created. Maybe a rookie development team, not enough budget, bad management, lack of tools, or maybe a combination of everything.

Maybe the whole office caught the flu early on in development and they had to substitue with poor Chinese orphans to finish the project?

Just my theory.

It's bad, but it would be good if someone made it with DB Pro.

It is possible for the 64 to look beautiful though. Zelda was rather nice, so was DK64 even without the expansion pack.

I rented it once, didn't even get to see half of the glitches because I got stuck on teh damn rings and just gave up.

I dunno. I think it's just suffice to say that OoT owned. A side by side comparison reivew of OoT and Superman 64 would just be a picture of Link violating Superman.

It wasn't the graphic "quality" they were bashing I don't think, but the graphical glitches. Did you see the part where Superman flickers for solid seconds? You'd never see that in Mario 64. The blocky graphics were N64s trademark, though

The animations were terrible. So were the particle effects. And the collisions. Especially the camera collisions. And the rings... And the way that Superman's trail was being left behind!!!! They used the lamest application of particles EVER to do that. It all sucked. Who would release a product like that? If there was a Superman game compo here the results would be awe inspiring.

Of course, it's nice to see a commercial game that was made with The 3D Game Maker...

Dude the funny thing is I remember renting that game. I was just talking about it to my girlfriend the other day, so it's pretty funny you guys mentioned it on the forums . (I just hope other things we talk about aren't mentioned .

I hated that game the moment I turned it on. That review is right on. It gets the crappiest game I've ever played award.

Exactly. There must have been an exclusive deal or a fat wad of cash to accompany the game when it went through 1st party testing

That video is the funniest thing I have seen on on the internet, good find!

As somebody else said though, it's not that bad: if somebody made it in DB everybody would be singing there praises - the actual game is probably okay, it just looks rushed and buggy.

Why does everyone complain about this game when there is infact one so very far worse?
