14 Video Games You Should Never EVER Play
12. Rise Of The Robots
When footage of the 1994 fighting game, Rise of the Robots, was revealed, gamers were blown away by its 3D-like graphics. The characters were created with CGI instead of pixels, making Rise of the Robots the first game ever to use motion-capture.
It cannot be stressed how much hype this game received. The developers were expecting to franchise the property into comic books, cartoons, toys, and a movie. The studio somehow managed to hire Queen guitarist, Brian May, to perform the game's soundtrack.
How could Rise of the Robots be anything except awesome???
First off, you can only pick one character. Secondly, it is a fighting game with no moves. Your character can punch and kick. That's it.
The studio was heavily criticised for false advertisement. Despite the fact the developers said the AI learns from the player's techniques, you can beat any opponent (including the final boss) without looking at the screen. Also, only one of Brian May's songs was used for the finished game.
On the Mega Drive port, the default timer is set to 30 seconds. However, some enemies cannot be beaten in that time limit.
Why the developers were so confident in the game's potential is anyone's guess.
Speaking of overhyped games...
