Ten Of The Worst... Games Based on Comics

All the Lycra in the DuPont factory couldn’t help this lot be in any way entertaining. Play presents the heroes and anti-heroes that don’t quite cut the mustard
 
 
 
ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN (PS2)
The Ultimate series was supposed to be all kickass in the comics. Then Ultimate Spider-Man comes along and tries to beat everything with a wet fish leaving a bad smell and fish guts everywhere. Does everything a spider can, that man.
 
 
MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE (PS2)
Again with the false advertising by using the word Ultimate. Marvel Ultimate Alliance played exactly like the previous X-Men Legends games, but on the PS3 it had the shiniest graphics this side of a Need For Speed game.
 
DRAGON BALL Z: BUDOKAI 2 (PS2)
It’s a wonder how Dragon Ball Z became so popular since nothing ever really happens in the manga other than spiky-haired goits shouting at each other. In the games there’s less shouting but more rubbish beat-’em-up action.
 
 
SPAWN: ARMAGEDDON (PS2)
Spawn’s cape is supposed to be cool but in Spawn: Armageddon it gives him the worst double-jump in the history of videogaming. But that’s okay because the rest of the game was really good...
 
INITIAL D: SPECIAL STAGE (PS2)
We wish we could say more than "it’s a manga about cars made into a racing game” but we really don’t know anything more about it than that. So we got on the phone to the local comics shop and the guy there said “it’s a manga about car racing." Oh.
 
 
WOLVERINE'S REVENGE (PS2)
Everyone’s favourite cigar- chomping, hairy- chopped, chop-your-head-off-with- adamantium-claws X-Man got to star in his own rubbish 3D adventure. Sasquatch might have been in it though, we’re not sure, but he’s pretty cool.
 
X-MEN: NEXT DIMENSION (PS2)
Actually a sequel to an even worse X-Men fighting game, Next Dimension threw in more characters from the comic in an effort to make it interesting. Shame it didn’t make it fun to play in any way whatsoever.
 
 
JUDGE DRED: DRED VS DEATH (PS2)
We may have a soft spot for ol’ stony face and we were eager to shoot up Mega City One with a Lawgiver and bring some perps to justice. But then Dredd Vs Death turned out to be a rather shallow FPS and we were sad.
 
HELLBOY (PSONE)
Honestly we don’t even remember this coming out. In fact we didn’t even know Hellboy has been going for so long. In even more fact we’ve only ever seen the film and that was rubbish. This was released way before the film though.
 
 
DANGER GIRL (PSONE)
Danger Girl eh? She was a right one for always getting into shoot-outs and stuff, she even teamed up with a few other comic-book characters in her time. Shame she didn’t team up with anyone who could make her a decent game.
