Was there ever one game that got horrible reviews or a bad rep for being such a sucky game, or a type of game that you never saw yourself playing but yet still you played it?

Well, which game (and platform) was it?

For me, I liked playing Rayman DS and then my freind borrowed it, then lost it. He gave me probably one of the worst games on DS,
As for Wii, that game is Sponge SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab, It was a good game to me and it was a good game for me (and other kids alike) to play throughout the first months of the Wii's release into society.

Misleading title is very misleading. (not my quote, but it sums up this topic name.)

Bad Games? Not so much, but I never thought I would be playing Burnout 3 ever in my Nintendo obsessed life, Nor would I think that I would be playing Metroid Prime. That just goes to show that sometimes you need to branch out from the norm in order to find a new interest. :)

The only thing that gives pirates a chance against ninjas is the ability to grow awesome beards. Other than that, they're completely outmatched.

I meant which game do you play "behind closed doors".

I wind up getting a lot of freebies in my line of work, nearly all are the awful trademark games built to coincide with movie/TV releases. I do give each game a try though, and found that Ratatouille for Wii was actually a great platformer.
I didn't tell any of my friends that though :-)

Boom.

I'd say the title, but it's been tabooed [I'll not talk about it anymore here].
Also, any compilation game out there filled with classic games.
But I'm not saying compilation titles are bad at all. :) They're gurrrrreat!

No, of course not! I've never even played a BattleToads game (for better or worse; definitely worse).

Would Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World fall underneath this category? If so, that. If not, not that.

I mean, seriously, I can't think of anything else.

Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I say "No Feenie, that would not be considered. You are an idiot." And then I kick myself.

I give up.

....I dunno. I don't really feel guilty about any of them. If I like them, and someone else doesn't, whatever.

Oh...that would probably be Super Monkey Ball 2 (mostly because if the inevitable "Monkey Balls" joke) and an N64 game called Gex 64. Gex 64 was basically a shameless Super Mario 64 clone (Ya gotta love N64 game titles, am I right?) that made fun of TV shows and movies. It's not really fun (more like substitute the fun of Mario 64 and replace it with boredom), but I used to play it whenever I got it from the video store, which was almost ALL THE TIME. I now have the cart (I'm collecting, and I happened to find it at garage sales), but for some reason, I don't feel clean.

@Ric - This isn't a guessing game, and that's not the answer. Let's just forget about it, okay?
I do have a couple of titles I'm a bit embarrassed of still owning, one for the GameCube and the other for the PlayStation.

Guitar Hero 5 and GH Van Halen. I feel guilty about liking them (and DJ Hero) just because of what I've read about Bobby Kotick.

Future guilty pleasure (when I get it): MySims Agents

Should I feel guilty about occasionally (like once a year) pulling out my PS2 and Dance Dance Revolution game?
