The games we hate to love

Yes, we know they’re bad. Yes, we know they’re ridiculous. No, we can’t stop playing them anyway

the harry potter games are equally bad compared to the movies, as the movies are compared to the books. a lot. which makes sense really.

You aren't the only person. Even though the Harry Potter games keep getting worse and worse I still love them and have to keep playing them every time a new one comes out !! I have them all.

i actually love true crime: streets of new york, despite how much people hate it

Haven't played any of them.

Games that were thrashed but I liked (not great but alright) include Legendary, Godzilla Unleashed and Two Worlds.

Two Worlds on the 360 was better when patched but you wouldn't know that when reading the initial release reviews where there were a ton of problems and a poor ass demo.

Sonic Heroes is a great game - I've never understood why it's hated so much (other than the retarded voice acting/dialog and plot).

I've never heard of the other games though haha

I actually agree with Tao Feng and I also kind of like Kakuto Chojin for the cool music.

haha i loved clayfighter 63 1/3 too! i totally knew it was bad and ripped off other fighters, but i think the crazy (and large) cast of characters and the slapstick comedy won me over. it was flawed but i still had a blast playing it, and i actually did dive into what little nuances the game had. tao feng, on the other hand, was a different story. i loved the graphics, the interactive environments, and the limb and visible body damage (which, given who was behind it, i kind of expected that). but i just couldnt get into it. i just found it too clunky and not fun. i wanted to like it before i played it, but playing it made that impossible

and i have no shame in admitting to being a wrestling fan, or a sd vs raw fan. the madden effect it has suffered lately has kept me from actually purchasing the games every year tho

oh, and when i was younger i actually purchased shaq fu, and didnt it was that bad a game. of course as i got more into fighters i realize its garbage, but still dont think its quite as bad as people make it out to be. whew, glad to get that off my chest haha

Sonic Heroes was fun, and I loved True Crimes; Streets of L.A.

I absolutely agree w/ the choices of Sonic Heroes, P.N. 03, Roadkill & True Crime: L.A. And Beatdown: Streets of Vengeance? One of the most underrated games I can think of. Pure fighting bliss ;)

I like the Haryy Potter games because they felt kinda like RPGS's especially the first one. I owned the GBA vers. of Chamber of Secrets which was kinda good but god forbid Goblet Of Fire that sucked

Finally! Someone else who enjoys P.N.03 for the exact same reasons as me!

Also, to Matthew Keast. If I didn't do the math wrong(which I didn't) then you spent $1,080.00 on PlanetSide. Damn...

I loved Sonic Heroes; I just don't think it was necessary to have you play through basically an easy medium and hard mode to get to the end. But that said, I thought it was a great game. Frankly, I think Sonic Adventure 1, 2 and Sonic Heroes were more or less disliked retroactively after Shadow and Sonic 06 came out.

Saints Row 1 and 2 are definately games i hate to love. Sure they're GTA clones, but fine good ones.

Sonic Heroes was unbelieveable! So fast and fun to play with friends... Ah those were the days...

omg True Crime, that was the last schatsoft I ever bought. That was the final straw that made me stalwart in never impulse buying again. I was pining for a GTA and got a total asian tird. I beta tested Planet side, not terrible but nothing special.
