1. Street Fighter The Movie (Playstation)
It's not often you experience a perfect storm like this, where a film so infamously bad decides to meander onto Sony's brand-new gaming machine with all the grace of a dying elephant. Yet we couldn't appreciate Street Fighter The Movie with the same level of so-bad-it's-good we lovingly adorn upon the film. It's not just because of its confusing title it's billed as a game and a movie, all at once it's because interactivity robs us of the opportunity to sit back and enjoy the naff-ness like some sort of lurid pantomime. To put it in a less pretentious way, when we're forced to participate in something that's awful, we can't help but feel frustrated as a result. That's just human nature when something doesn't work the way it's supposed to, we're bound to get mad. So while we could laugh at M.Bison's 'for me it was Tuesday' rants on the silver screen, when we had to control his clunky arse in-game and guide him through some frustratingly unresponsive fights replete with a strangely unworkable control system, we were all sorts of furious. Combining this with the photo-realistic characters was really the last straw it cut out the pixellated charm of the previous games and instead made it look like something of a Mortal Kombat knockoff. Then there was the unintended consequences of sticking the actors on screen sure, controlling JCVD's Guile was fun, but there was something oddly disconcerting about slapping Kylie Minogue around, not to mention beating the filth out of a recently-deceased Raul Julia. It was just...
wrong. There's just no other way to put it.
