10 Insanely Awful Video Games In Famous Franchises

3. Dino Crisis 3

Probably the least famous franchise on this list, Dino Crisis still gave us of the best survival horrors on the PS1. Made by Capcom and swapping out zombies for dinosaurs, the first two games were a refined and unique new slant on the Resident Evil formula, and heading into the new generation there was plenty of optimism that the series would go from strength to strength. But, perhaps foreshadowing what Capcom would eventually do to the Resident Evil series, the third Dino Crisis threw all the suspense and intelligence of the previous two out the window by being a tedious shooter in which you essentially just hold down the shoot button and point it at swarms of attacking dinosaurs. The 'Jurassic Park gone evil' setting of the previous titles was also swapped out for bland grey spaceship corridors (because people love dinosaurs and space, so let's just smash them together like an infant smashes his T-Rex and Star Wars action figures together). Dino Crisis 3 uses semi-fixed camera angles not too dissimilar to its predecessors, but which completely don't work for what is essentially a run-of-the-mill action game. It says a lot about a game when it manages to make something as inherently cool as a jetpack incredibly boring, and it's little surprise that this caused its series to become extinct like the T-Rex, or stegosaurus, or diplodocus, or... you get the idea.
