Hardcore 4x4? Fine? Not really it's just a bog standard racing game with crap cars. Light gun games are good but Mighty Hits sucks when you can't use a light gun.

In my humble opinion,, I TOTALLY agree with darkheart13 on 4x4 hardcore,, terrible driving game Ok my list of games that I cant handle for more than 5 mins: Sega Touring Car Championship Crimewave Mansion Of Hidden Souls Spot Goes To Hollywood Actua Golf Dragonheart NBA JAM Extreme The Crow: City Of Angles Blast Chamber Space Jam Blam Machinehead Street Fighter 2: The Movie (I Diddnt mind Courier Crisis) Magic Carpet Battle Arena Tohshinden Remix
Ok ill stop now,, theres more but ive been hard enough on the old Saturn.. In its defense theres just as many schitful games on just about any other console. And theres no shortage of good games available.

I personally dont think Sega Touring Car is that bad. I played about with the handling of the cars, tweaking them a little, and all of a sudden it was possible to go a lap without crashing.

Just the crappy games that were released on it. You're absolutely correct that terrible games exist on all systems. I personally felt that it was more difficult to find quality games on PS1 than the Saturn. There are definitely great games for the Saturn and many threads here are devoted to them. I'm just tired of wasting my time on crappy games and wanted to start a thread that would warn other potential buyers to stay away. BTW, I liked NBA Jam T.E. It's been awhile as I sold it but I remember it being fun to play.

Whilst I personally would not throw any game in the trash regardless of crapiness metaphorically I do not like PDS and would throw it in the metaphorical bin. I don't think he was bashing the Saturn, I love the Megadrive but could write a list of crap games longer then the list of games I love. :S

Indeed. I have to agree with snowcat. I really wouldn't depend on a list like this made by other users to determine which games you like or not.
I mean, I love Virtual Hydlide, and I see over 20 good games in the Atari Jaguar's library. Games everyone else would find absolute rubbish. And yet, I think Radiant Silvergun belongs in the bin.
Go YouTube the games to see if they're worth trying first.

I agree you and Snowcat. Of course we all have different opinions. I've been on enough forums to know that even if you post something like I beleive in peace on Earth that someone out there will take issue with it. I'm not attacking Charlie. I subscribe to his Youtube channel and think they do a fantastic job. In fact, I was really making the same point. This thread isn't supposed to be about determining others likes or dislikes. It's about avoiding the landmines in the Saturn landscape. Everyone out there has different opinions and I will certainly respect that.

In my humble opinion,, I TOTALLY agree with darkheart13 on 4x4 hardcore,, terrible driving game Yeah. I tried to like that game, but it is near enough impossible especially when you could be playing Sega Rally.

Also remember that there's a difference between games that are trash because its not in your personal taste i.e Snocat-PDS and games that were just programmed badly. i.e Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Love the series in general and occasionally play Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 on my Saturn but Mortal Kombat Trilogy is just a terrible game in general so it belongs in the trash! Good thing though I only paid 2 pound for it about 8 years ago and most recently I was offered 80 quid for it but turned it down as I wasn't ready to sell off any games in my collection despite how terrible I consider them. Now seeing as most of the PAL copies of the game can fetch well over 100 quid I might just sell mine of for some cash. Not bad for a 2 pound investment eh? cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mortal-Kombat-Trilogy-Sega-Saturn-PAL-complete_W0QQitemZ390127041548QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_PC_Video_Games_Video_Games_JS?hash=item5ad5623c0c

On a technical level Virtual Hydlide is pretty nice, just a shame the gameplay is complete arse gravy. I love Virtual Hydlide. There's a great sense of adventure with varying weapons, enemies and levels. It gets quite frightening too. I love it and can't understand the negative opinions of it.

I've actually completed it on that when I was very bored. Wouldn't do it again though. Chaos Control, Athlete Kings, Winter Heat (Those sports games look nice but have very tedious gameplay) and Krazy Ivan are some of the worst games for me. Doom is also terrible on the Saturn.

Really. What have you got against Athlete Kings and Winter Heat?
I find the gameplay solid and is standard to all games based on Olympic Sports.

Touring Cars and Fifa 98 rubbish I like them both, I may be the only one but Touring Cars is no where near as bad as everyone has made out, easy enough to play. and out of all the Saturn Footy Games its prol the best Ive played and thats saying summat For me a trash it game would be The two WWF Games In Your House and Wrestlemania Arcade as they are both gash. and Shockwave Assault

Wasn't The Hulk the lowest rated game SSM reviewed. Never played it myself though.
I thought Destruction Derby was pretty bad too.
