10 Video Games That Totally Lied To Get Your Money
5. Air Raid 3
Air Raid 3 was a flight combat game that released in 2009 for the PlayStation 2. It was a fairly terrible game that only released in Australia and Europe, produced by Phoenix Games, a studio who are now famous for creating shovelware for a variety of consoles. Theyve been known to bend the truth somewhat with the information they put on their box art and game descriptions but their biggest con has to be Air Raid 3. The lie used to get you to buy the game here isnt some fancy trailers or misleading descriptions, its the title of the game. It implies that it is the third part in a series or franchise. This is important because terrible games generally do not get sequels. A product will either have to be well-received, a commercial success or at least seen to have done something right for it to continue. Therefore if you see Air Raid 3 in a shop you might assume that it has to be at least a decent, because at least the series has seen two previous entries. It's only logical, right? That isnt so; this stand-alone product doesnt have any predecessors, direct or otherwise. Sure there have been games with Air Raid in the title in the past but they werent made by the same people or set in the same world. Its simply an awful game that has been named in such a way to confuse and mislead customers.
