Atlus? Why them? They are responsible for making one of my favorite puzzle games with anime parts...Catherine.Well, that cover alone explains why is the game so bad, the sole presence of that logo is enough for me;
Any Phoenix Games product is a major, and I do mean major red flag. May I remember that this disaster came from them as well?
Why did Atlus decide to have their name involved in this, I do not know... Did they produce the game, or was it Phoenix's job? Either way, Phoenix's involvement is enough to put me off from playing it.
I don't mind them, it's just they change 1 or 2 things each year and charge $50 for it. Game patches add more content than the entirety of a FIFA game.
Unless KSI is bugging you so it might be the reason why you hate FIFA games.
In order to complete a race, you have to hit a bunch of checkpoint flags on the way to the finish line. If you miss a flag, you have to go all the way back again. The main problem is you aren't actually told where the track is going, you're forced to follow the AI and memorise the track layout until you eventually win the race. Only then can you proceed to the next race.
On top of that, the game uses one of those awful 'password save' systems, which doesn't even work.
I liked the checkpoint races that you had to find the fastest route as they were scattered and even the AI went in different directions. Although I don't know if you're specifically talking about the GBA game as I played it on PS2, they may be different.
Yeah, I'm talking about the GBA edition. The PS2 version was fantastic, but the GameBoy version was atrocious.Sir I'm going to have to ask you to leave. This is one of my favorite games.
I recommend this game for a GBA racing game:Oh I see, glad you say that. Conveniently enough, I was going to get a GBA sometime and buy a bunch of racing games for it. That's one off the list!
Parallel Lines would cure that problem.
I loved the PS1-era Driver games, so when Driv3r was announced I was really looking forward to play it. Sadly, I was in for a huge dissapointment.
- terrible controls/animations while on foot. Shooting is bad as well.
- unrealistic vehicle characteristics. Fiat Panda-lookalike is rwd and can do burnouts, Countach-lookalike doesn't seem to be really faster than car models that would be a lot slower in real life.
- bugs and glitches. Pedestrians getting stuck in the ground, people falling out of the sky (Nice) etc.
- Cops have this obvious rubberband AI, so trying to outrun them will be fruitless. By the way, will a real life cop try to stop you by provoking a head on collision at full speed? I don't think so...
While it may not be an "unplayable" game like Big Rigs, and therefor doesn't deserve to be called the worst game ever, it was certainly the one that dissapointed me the most.
Unless games like NFS Underground Rivals, GTPSP, etc. have a different content compared to their console version.
Except you left out one part, there are no console versions of those games. They were handheld exclusives. Games like that I do like, but if they have them on consoles, I will gladly take them over the handheld versions.

Throw flaks regarding Road Rage 3 to Atlus, not Phoenix, because Atlus developed and released it (for Japanese market). Either way, it can be seen as Phoenix's response to Midas' decision to bring Battle Gear 2 to Europe (as Tokyo Road Race).
That's got to be the best review I have seen in a while!
When he said "Grab your popcorn", I literally paused it, warmed up a Hot Pocket and watched the rest on my TV and it was the best review I have seen in a while! 
Some of the shows that I thought had bad animation actually look somewhat better in comparison. They would have been better off selling that as a cheap VHS tape. 
I can remember driving a Reveton in a time trial once in HP2010 and I remember it would add 2 seconds to the clock every time you hit something and you pretty much have lost if you get even just one hit, as if the controls and collision detection wasn't bad enough already. It actually ruined my mood to even try to beat it, so I gave up on it all together and I still don't plan on going back.
I admit I did like The Run the best out of all the 3rd gen NFS games, the physics and handling was somewhat better and I actually enjoyed the cutscenes and it made me want to finish the game for once. Still, PepeMickey and HuskyGT have pretty much spoken my mind on this. I still didn't like the game much and I had no desire to play it again after beating it. Pretty much Shift and every title they did afterwards are some of the worst for me personally. I have hopes the latest title will be much better though.
That's got to be the best review I have seen in a while!
I have done a lot of research about this company since you posted this and they really are the worst video game company I have ever seen. Personally with the game Dalmatians 3, I really don't think there is much room to make a game that is worse than that.
As for the cartoon, I actually watched the whole thing and man it really is terrible!
