Zapper: One Wicked Cricket!

Zapper: One Wicked Cricket! is an action platformer game developed by Blitz Games and published by Infogrames for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, Game Boy Advance and the PC in 2002 in North America, and 2003 in Europe.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The gameplay is very uninspired and rips off the Frogger franchise, especially Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge,  which Blitz Games also developed.
 * 2) * In fact, according to an ex-employee of Blitz, the game was meant to be a second sequel to Frogger 2, but was changed to an original IP when Konami re-acquired the licensing rights to the franchise from Infogrames.
 * 3) A boring plot and storyline that involves Zapper attempting to save his brother.
 * 4) Zapper is an unlikeable character on his own behalf as he is very mean to his brother and is quite selfish (although he seems to be as happy on the front cover and title screen).
 * 5) The level design can be quite confusing and is way too bright on its own behalf.
 * 6) One-hit deaths.
 * 7) To move you can't just hold the analog stick or D-pad in the direction you want. You have to tap it for every individual tile you move to.
 * 8) Cheap enemy placement which can make it very easy to die, which in turn makes the game unfairly difficult.
 * 9) The hard mode makes the already frustrating game worse, as the game's antagonist Maggie the Magpie follows you and will drop eggs as well.
 * 10) Bland soundtrack.
 * 11) The framerate drops fast when there is too much stuff going on.
 * 12) Silly and uninspired Multiplayer mode.
 * 13) There is no voice acting, just annoying gibberish sounds.
 * 14) The mini-game level "Atmospheric" is very hard.
 * 15) To make the problems far worse, the game can be completed in only a small number of hours, as there are only 20 levels altogether!
