![]() In the case of two games, they may not even load at all - trying to play them at all on some cartridges causes the game to crash, making even the title of this compilation questionable. The games are riddled with glitches and bugs because the developers had no time to playtest any of them graphics are occasionally scrambled, you can survive pitfalls in most platformers by repeatedly attacking, Chill Out's music has an inconsistent tempo due to lag, Lollipop's music completely and hopelessly breaks on the last level, and game crashes are common. There is inconsistent difficulty among the games (some were extremely difficult, while others were simple) and obtuse controls. Some of the common issues among the games were repetitive music that was annoying and graphics that made many of the games hard to play and hard to look at.

Also, a game isn't Horrible just because it's a poorly-made licensed tie-in or a bad port.Though once it is listed, the Caustic Critics can provide the detailed review(s). There needs to be independent evidence, such as reputable, professional reviews, to list it. note Diablo III is a prime example of a perfectly functional game with a ridiculous number of negative reviews - at least 90% of which are nothing more than complaints about the game's DRM system. Nor is it horrible just because it has a flood of negative reviews on and Metacritic. A game isn't horrible just because The Angry Video Game Nerd, Spoony, Yahtzee, Angry Joe, JonTron, Rerez or any other Caustic Critic reviewed it.It has to fail to appeal even to that niche to qualify as this. Hard as it is to imagine at times, there is a market for all types of deviancy, no matter how small a niche it is. Merely being offensive in its subject matter is not sufficient.
