ITT: trash games you played to death as a kid

...

...

Path of Neo was good though

this and I played it as a teen.

...

...

Never even realized it was a clone of a much better car combat game.

I tried to replay it yesterday. It's shit, and Enter The Matrix is actually better.

...

...

Shiiiit, my bro and I loved Driv3r way back. We saw all the bugs as funny shit, not rushed development.

...

Same for both games OP. I still remember there was that tank myth in Driv3r and I spent quite some time trying to get it to work. Can't recall if I ever got it.

Really nigga

You have to fight aliens using your power to change into three forms: sword mode, gun mode, and stealth mode.

Also the final boss is a ping pong match.

I know I played this game a lot and I think I ended up hating it because the AI is fucking cheap

I remember renting this for a week and after a few days I was absolutely sick to death of it already. It was cool how they had so many characters on screen at once though, I remember it blew my mind after coming from the PS1.

I refuse to believe that.

ETM was utter garbage. Path merely seems mediocre.

I never got past the car chase level.

>They will never finish the trilogy ;_;

OP here i was obsessed with DRIV3R when i was a kid, i remember i'd get into constant arguments with GTA fans over it defending it to my last breath.

Fuck user, thanks for reminding me.

I legit thought it was the best game ever but it was all I had for the longest.

This game a copy of CnC TibSun but pure shit.

Fuck Ion Storm

Enter the Matrix is extremely janky with terrible controls (strafe with the shoulder buttons? the fuck is this Kings Field) and fuck ugly, but I think it works better as a Matrix game than Path of Neo. Its plot is relatively "grounded" with the same general theme as the first movie, of these like secret rebels moving behind the scenes of the fake everyday world, killing cops and men in black and shit with sick martial arts moves and lots of guns for their own purposes. Everything about the game is geared towards evoking The Matrix, right down to the awesome hacking minigame.

Path of Neo is much less janky, melee combat is extremely satisfying, but the game is as schizophrenic and bizarre as absolutely anything I've ever played. Sometimes this works to its advantage (the opening dream level, the black and white dojo level, the weird level with the parable of Chuang Tzu and the skull) and sometimes...not (everything in the Merovingian's mansion without exception). Like, how can you possibly convince me that this is a Matrix game, when I am kung fu fighting giant anthromorphic ants that can only be killed by fire?? Also the gunplay is by and large really shitty and they rapidly dispense with it, which leaves the game feeling a bit unvaried despite this bizarre carnival atmosphere.

I do wish a less insane company could iterate on its melee combat though. When it stuck to being a beat-em-up it was really quite decent.

>janky
Stopped reading right there.

and the funny thing is, both game are directed by the Wachowski brothers/sisters.

>but the game is as schizophrenic and bizarre as absolutely anything I've ever played
Nothing, you meant?

Not as a kid though.

which one was the one that took place during the movies with extra content and lore thrown in between movie scenes? Path of Neo?

Now this is some trashy entertainment I can get behind of. It's ugly and nonsensical, but it's also a lot more fun than it has any right to be.

pc version though

I fucking loved this game as a kid. Playing it on an emulator as an adult, I see a lot of problems with it.

...

Guilty. I seriously loved this game, I have no fucking clue why...

>that fucking driving mission

BOTH of these dude. I fucking loved the Driver series

(same person)
My brother and I played this shit so much.

Played it to death, and completed it without cheats. Instead of using money cheats, I grinded smaller competitions to afford to compete in the larger ones.

...

Same here.
You better not be implying Stuntman is trash.

Even more proof that a good soundtrack can make any piece of shit seem good.

Did people hate this game because you played as two literal whos? I still think the game is pretty alright.

This and Project Overkill on PS1

Nah it was Enter the Matrix. The story of that game ties in really well with the movies.

Not even joking.

GOD
FUCKING
DAMNIT

Ignition

I remember playing this with my brother and a friend and we were hugely disappointed with how short it was, we thought there was more to it. I much prefer this one.

Ended up unlocking everything with my brother.

MAH GANGSTA ASS NIGGA BUCK

I remember it being great, but maybe that's because of nostalgia. I don't wanna go back to find out and be disappointed.

I played this and pretty much every single old Lego game that exists. Dear god, I still remember those difficulty spikes, with Pohatu Nuva's and Tahu Nuva's levels being ridiculously tough for 8 year old me while the final boss was pathetically easy.

Pic related was my favourite.

Is that the one where the cunt is dropping shit out of the plane?

It's been 13 years since I last played, but hot damn do I remember that bullshit.

destroye
D

No but fuck that level too
