Billy the Wizard: Rocket Broomstick Racing

Billy the Wizard: Rocket Broomstick Racing is a platforming racing video game originally released for the mh:awesomegames:PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows in European territories, while the mh:awesomegames:Wii version was released worldwide one year later.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The game is an obvious Harry Potter rip-off, heck, the original name for the game was literally called Barry Hatter: The Sorcerer's Broomstick.
 * 2) Poor graphics that look more like they came from an old Dreamcast game with ugly character models.
 * 3) Awful motion controls on the Wii version, it's almost impossible to move your character as instead of using the Wiimote to move or the analog stick you instead move the nunchuck itself, this leads you to go either absurdly slow and never move on or way too fast and miss all of the rings you need to go through.
 * 4) False advertising: Despite the name of the game being called Billy the Wizard, the main character isn't even named Billy, he's instead named Barry Hatter.
 * 5) There's only 1 map in the game, all the levels take place on a dirt lot with a school floating in the sky.
 * 6) The game modes are really repetitive, every level feels the same, it's mostly just flying through rings and points (where have we heard that before?).
 * 7) Creepy facial features on the characters.
 * 8) Terrible camera, the way it moves can give you motion sickness.
 * 9) You can easily break out of the map, due to the terrible controls.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Unlike most of Data Design's other PC, PS2 and Wii games, this one isn't a reskin of their platforming games.
 * 2) The PlayStation 2 and Windows versions have better controls.

Trivia

 * 1) The game was originally titled Barry Hatter and the Sorcerer's Broomstick, but due to a lawsuit by Warner Bros., the name was changed to Billy the Wizard: Rocket Broomstick Racing.
