I think the worst video game plot would probably have to be the Super Mario games. I mean, yes, the games are great, mostly, but when you think about it, the whole plot is terrible. A plumber and his brother get sucked down the drain, into a mushroom kingdom, and they have to save a princess from a dinosaur type thing. huh.gif

Are you referring to the game itself (is there a plot?) or the movie?

I try to avoid playing crappy games, but I thought that Chronicles of Riddick had a very poor plot.

The worst plot would probably be those games that don't even have one. Examples: Pac-man tongue.gif

But not all of the Mario games have bad plots. Some of them have good ones too.

I seem to remember some game on the Colour Gameboy that involved a Lego guy delivering pizza around an island. Surely that was designed in a coffee break in Starbucks? No plot whatsoever and rather repetitive...

Im refering to the video games, and yes, mario games do have different plots, but most of the time, their basically the same thing over and over again. I do like mario games, dont get me wrong, just the basic plot is pretty terrible, although it doesnt really have to make the game play terrible.

PS- the mario sport games and mario party games do not apply to what I said. although...now that I think about it,the mario party game plots are pretty bad....

I myself hate the plots of Rachet & Clank games and Jak & Daxter, theyre both fun to play and all, cool graphics, guns but they are so boring when you finally see who the baddy is, even when you know who he/she was at the start.

Basically for both of them, its saving the world or saving Haven City.

well for you kids of the playstation/xbox era it wasn't about the story in the atari/nintendo glory days. it was about the challange and about 90% of those games where nothing but challanges. Due to the fact that you could not save on pretty much all the games that didn't have the save feature on it. I doubt anyone could name one person who successfully beat teenage mutant turtles 1 without cheating and rom hack.

I think the only games who plot sucks are the ones trying to keep it alive. Though super mario is greatest game of all time they should have stopped period with super nintendo series, the game boys ports are ok, but anything after that is just beating a dead horse.

Of course I think pretty much all the fps games are crap, due to the fact the single player modes are junk and are use just to fill space for the multiplayer mods.

The worst of the worst are probably at Something Awful's ROM Pit. Games with odd and wierd plots like Bible Buffet, Wally Bear and the NO! Gang, and Super 3D Noah's Ark litter their web space.
