Worst Rock-Star cameos of all time

Before Guitar Hero, real musicians and games hit a big fat brown note

N*SYNC Get to the Show - 2001

Critical shred:I don't think that even if I held my breath until the brink of unconsciousness that I could confuse this with something that's fun.” - Stage Select

When N*SYNC released their sophomore album “No Strings Attached” they f**king meant it! Their talent could no longer be confined by the tyranny of mere audio, and the time had come to serenade another medium. I’m sure you all remember N*SYNC’s career defining performance on the Game Boy Color.

Get to the Show featured everything we all expected from a game featuring the greatest pop act of all time, including driving to a venue and warming up with a game of hacky sack. That would all sound stupid if you didn’t look at the game as a prequel to awesomeness.

Better still, the PC got its own N*SYNC EXCLUSIVE with N*SYNC Hotline and Fantasy Phone. Not only did it allow you the privilege of bowling with this national treasure, but the game also included a fancy phone peripheral so you could hear satanic messages from JT, Larry and that other guy.

As bad as the SNES/Genesis ports were, the arcade version of Rev X wasn't that bad of a mid-90's arcade-styled shooter.

What about "Frankie goes to Hollywood" on the Spectrum? Although that was actually alright I suppose.

Plus, what the hell is wrong with Moonwalker, I loved that game. The car park level with beat it playing was great!

10 pages? T-E-N P-A-G-E-S? I have a life, you know.

Moonwalker was hilarious!

Was it an accident by the developer that the kids were all on their knees when you found them and MJ could perform a crotch thrust in their innocent faces?!

Pages like this are good for us. Think about it. After you play some game which you find disappointing, you can come back to any "worst-of" and be grateful.
