Your Pick: Worst 360 Game (you purchased) Thus Far?

[Toxic]

I was just looking through my library of games and found myself frowning at several entries. It dawned on me that I've yet to see the forum really discuss this matter, and I was curious - now that we're rounding into the first real slate of Next Gen titles - what games have paved the roadsides of disappointment for you?

For me, limiting it to solely games I thought highly enough to purchase, I'd have to say it's a tie between:

Marvel Ultimate Alliance:

+ 4 player co-op.
+ some cool moves and a RPG-lite growth mechanic.

- Proverbial cluster f--k when playing with 4.
- AI is borderline drool retarded (circa 1993 retarded).
- SCREAMS PS2 port in all but graphics.
- Endless levels of repetitive combat.
- Silly puzzles.
- Plot that seems like it is being improved whilst I play.
- RPG elements too complex to really get people unfamiliar with the game to enjoy, plus pausing all the time to allocate points (for those inclined) isn't conducive to fast couch sessions with half drunk mates.
- Auto leveling isn't explicit enough (i.e. you have little clue what's getting buffed unless you pause and hunt through the menus - see last complaint).
- did I mention the plot was lamer than a saturday morning kids show?

Viva Pinata!! (Ie ie!)..

+ Beautiful Graphics.
+ Lots of variety in pinatas and gardening techniques.
+ Pretty sedate on the "kid show" vibe after you get past the tutorials (unless you go into a shop).

- AI? Where are you, AI? Ok, they sleep and fight. Sometimes eat. How about some character or personality!
- Not much of a point to the game. After a few hours I wondered why I wasn't just gardening in my real backyard opposed to virtually.
- Didn't care for the "learn via trial and error" approach to game mechanics. Fertilizer is a great example: I really don't want to dink around for 3 hours trying different types to figure out which will work best, only to do the same for the next plant. There's just no fun in that for me.
- Load times killed me.
- Did I mention it was tedious?
- Ultimately, it's a ?30 time sink with no real objectives.


If I had to choose, Marvel Ultimate would be the winner (of the worst game title).

So, what are yours (feel free to say why or I don't care)?
