10 Hugely Popular Video Games That Deserve To Be Hated

5. World's Scariest Police Chases

Granted, there is a high chance you never knew this was actually a game. Also, please notice that this is from the original Playstation. But nonetheless, this game had a strong enough following for me to criticize it comfortably. I have always wanted a video game that focuses on the life of a police officer. I have have basked in the glory of the True Crime series (including Sleeping Dogs) and played every Rainbow Six game, however my thirst for a free-roam law enforcement video game has never been entirely quenched. I want a completely revamped True Crime: New York City for the current-gen consoles. Activision thought they could do this by turning the World's Scariest Police Chases television show into a videogame. And to make it even more true-to-the-original, they had John Bunnell narrate the game. His infamous double entendre comments get boring very quickly, and having to hear his monotone yet overly-dramatic voice narrate every mission made it all-the-more exciting when Christopher Walken narrated as George in True Crime: Streets of LA. The game runs dry very quickly. The missions literally put you in a cop car to chase down a criminal. That's it. You drive and - when dispatch gives you the okay - occasionally direct your partner's shooting. This is all fine and dandy in real life, but it completely bombs in the game. The whole feeling of chasing criminals is void throughout the entire experience. Even when I played this as a child when it first came out, it was not fulfilling. It made me rather sit at a desk and do paperwork than pursue criminals in my less-than-bland police car. I believe that this game could be remade for the current-gen consoles or even the next-gen ones and could bring forth the much-desired genre of law enforcement-aimed video games. However, until that time, I will keep this game - in its case - in the closet under my basement steps back home.
