Worst 8 games based on cartoon characters

Cartoons have always been a source of inspiration for movies and as well as videogames. Some of the movies and games which were inspried by cartoons turned out to be good and eventually had a franchise of its own. But there were also some which were a huge bore and also disappointment. Over the years, videogames based on cartoons have been released and some of them were met with very bad reviews. So here we are with the 8 worst videogames based on cartoon characters.

#8 Transformers

The game was based on the Hasbro characters of the Trasnformer series. The story of the game was loosely based upon the movie of the same name. The game was released by the Hasbro industries under the Activision studios.

The game was met with average reviews with the critics mainly pinpointing the messed up gameplay. The visuals were also criticised, but the game did a decent performance in the market. The game’s story was long boring and some of the chase missions were irritating. Surely for all the mentioned points, the game desereves to be on the list.

#7 Sonic the Hedgehog

This game was the first which led the series down. The game was the first in the franchise to be released on the PS3 and Xbox 360 on which improved graphics and controls were promised by the developers. But the game proved otherwise.

The game received heavy criticism for its its poor controls, bad camera angles, numerous glitches, poor plotting, loading times, and level design. Most of the critics stated the game to be the worst Sonic game ever. The game was listed in the "Top Ten Disappointments of the Decade" list.

#6 Batman: Dark Tomorrow

The game was the first full length Batman game to be released, and that’s why much hype was created for the game. But all the hype went to vain, because the game proved to be a huge disappointment.

The game met with negetive reviews which mainly pointed the confusing gameplay, its repetitive mission modes, and its awkward camera angles. Also the conclusion of the game was criticised because the ending of the game had no direction and was not satisfying.

#5 Sonic Boom: Rise of the Lyric

The game was a spin off from the Sonic: The Hedgedog. The game was released in the year 2014 and was stated as the worst Sonic game ever. The game was also put in the category of the worst games of Wii U.

The game received negetive reviews for its numerous bugs and glitches, poor graphics and level design, simplistic and repetitive gameplay, and bad writing, which seemed similar to the 2006’s Sonic game. Recently, the developers Sega announced that only 490,000 copies of the game have been sold, which makes it the worst selling title in the history of the franchise.

#4 Superman

The game was released in the early 90’s and was released on the Nintendo 64 platfrom. The game met with harsh criticism and the reviewers panned the game with their harsh comments.

The game was mainly criticised for its unnecessarily repetitive, difficult, and confusing objectives, unnecessarily short time limits that left no margin for error, numerous glitches that interfere with gameplay and poor graphics. The GameTrailer listed the game as the worst game of all time and GameSpy stated that the game was the worst adaption of any comic character.

#3 Thor: God of Thunder

Another Marvel game which completely failed to impress the critics as well as the audience. The game was based on the movie, where in you play as the God of Thunder, Thor. The only word which can perfectly descirbe the game is “NONSENSE”.

The game’s story did not have any sense or direction. The powers which were given to you were of no use. The gameplay was full of glitches and bugs. And lastly, Thor didn’t even look like Chris Hemsworth. Now you know why this game is on the list.

#2 The Incredible Hulk

This game destroyed the picture of Hulk that we had in our mind. The game was based on the Marvel’s Hulk and was voiced by Edward Norton. The game received criticism for it’s reptitive missions, unnecessary destruction and dull gameplay.

In the game, you take on the role of the huge and angry Hulk who is on a mission to get away from the military and kill the abomination. If you love Hulk, then please avoid this game. It will kill your feeling that you have for our big green guy.

#1 Star Trek

The game was actually based on the movie of the same name, and the movie was an adaption inspired from the cartoon series of the same name. This game can be listed as the worst games of all time.

The game puts you in the shoes of Captain Kirk, voiced by Chris Pine, and follows his journey to explore the galaxy. The gameplay was pathetic complemented with terrible visuals and a boring story. With that said, I think it’s pretty understandable why this game is in the first position.
