New car games 2000

While Nintendo is still trying to corner the kids market with the recently released Nintendo Switch and PC gamers do the best with what they have, it's the consoles that have taken over gaming. Both the PlayStation and Xbox provide fantastic gaming experiences with a host of added features available for both consoles.

Each is primed to offer the best visual and audio home entertainment environment possible and have delivered some of the best video games of all time. Rockstar ruled the roost with their action-adventure-themed games such as Red Dead Redemption and the Grand Theft Auto series, while first-person shooters like Halo , Call Of Duty, and Battlefield, have become multi-million dollar blockbusters.

Even PC fans have been spoiled for choice with World Of Warcraft , Fortnite , and the Diablo series, three titles that have provided fun times for gaming fans.

But for every must play game, there are a slew of horrible releases featuring bad graphics, poor gameplay, and dodgy sound effects. The likes of Carmageddon 64 , Ride To Hell: Retribution , and Alone In The Dark: Illumination, are just a handful of terrible games that have seen the light of day over the past 18 years. These are games you want to stay away from, and to help make sure you never play them I've written a list of the 20 worst games of the 00s, while also including the 10 best so you've got something to look forward to.

The original Carmageddon was a bloodthirsty car game released in on the PC. Inspired by the classic Death Race , the game caused controversy for encouraging players to run over pedestrians to earn points and bonuses.

Players raced against other competitors and could win races by either finishing first, destroying their opponents' vehicles, or ending all the pedestrians in the game.

The game was originally going to be a destruction derby type game but the ability to end pedestrians was added to help Carmageddon standout from standard driving games. The decision proved a success as Carmageddon was a surprise hit, with the game ported to a number of consoles including the Nintendo Unfortunately for 64 owners, that version of the game has been considered the worst of all time. The poor conversion was pointed out by the majority of gaming critics, citing terrible graphics and poor controls.

The game sucked out all of the fun of the PC version and was considered by some to be even worse than Superman 64 , one of the worst Nintendo 64 games ever made.

Carmageddon 64 was so bad the Guinness World Records identified it as the lowest rating Nintendo 64 car racing game of all time. If that's not enough warning about how bad this game is then I don't know what will keep you away. As a standalone franchise, Mortal Kombat is responsible for helping revolutionize the arcade fighting genre. The first two games in the series are considered classics and although some of the later sequels didn't live up to expectations, 's Mortal Kombat X helped rejuvenate the struggling franchise and prove there's still life left in it yet.

Predominately known as a fighting game, there have been a number of detours in the game's history, with Mortal Kombat: Special Forces an absolute shocker. Following on from the disastrous Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero , this was another attempt at an action game featuring Mortal Kombat characters.

Released on the PlayStation 1, the game was a sequel to the first Mortal Kombat as players took control of Jax in an action beat-up adventure game. Special Forces bombed upon release due to a mixture of dull storylines, paint-by-numbers graphics, random camera angles that are insanely frustrating, and way too much button mashing.

It was also strange that Jax had his metal arms in this game considering it was supposed to be a sequel, as he didn't receive them until Mortal Kombat 3. It's reported one of the key men behind Mortal Kombat , John Tobias, left Midway during the creation of the game, with his original vision drastically changed. The game performed so badly Midway stopped producing copies so they could concentrate on Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance and get the franchise back on track.

To be honest it was really hard to choose which Grand Theft Auto game to feature on this list. Vice City took the series back to the 80s and infused it with Scarface before San Andreas took things to the streets with a game set in and around the gang culture of early 90s California.

But it's hard to look past 's GTA V. Even though it's been three years since the game was released, GTA V 's massive online multiplayer world has extended its longevity, with Rockstar continually updating the world for fans. Not only was the game a huge improvement in terms of graphics and gameplay but the use of three interchangeable main characters gave players three unique personalities to control throughout the game. The ability to alternate between former mafia associate Michael De Santa, gangbanger Franklin Clinton, and the unhinged Trevor Philips, meant you never knew what was going to happen with each mission and allowed players to use the characters different skills throughout the game.

The involved storyline really grips you and the fact there are multiple endings and a massive city to explore means you'll never get bored. The heist missions, in particular, were fantastic and if you're a fan of finding easter eggs and hidden objects this one will keep you amused for hours on end. Here's hoping the next installment isn't too far away. The Simpsons hasn't been funny for about a decade now, something it has in common with a string of Simpsons- related games during the mids.

Of all the releases, The Simpsons Wrestling takes the cake as the worst. As the title suggests, the game is a wrestling simulation set in the Simpsons world. The game features 20 playable characters from The Simpsons world including Homer, Moe, Krusty, Marge, and Grounds Keeper Willie who indulge in a wrestling meets beat-em-up style game.

The matches take place in 10 well-known locations from the show including the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, Moe's Tavern, and the Simpson's home as you battle to become champion of Springfield. It might sound like fun but this game was actually pretty horrendous. The animation was worse than watching a Simpsons episode and it's less about performing wrestling moves and more about button mashing until you beat your opponent senseless.

It's a pretty silly and simple game that might keep kids occupied for a few hours but that's about it. It's best summed up by IGN , with their review culminating with a paragraph that included the lines, "It's just too bad that there is not one redeemable aspect in this I feel sorry for anyone who buys this The original Postal was a mediocre top-down shooter about a man who went "Postal" after the pressures of life got him down.

Think Micheal Douglas in Falling Down but with more demise and destruction. The first person follow-up, Postal 2, was released a few years later and hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons.

The game was crucified for its use of violence, with the game banned in Australia. The game was meant to be a satire on the modern world and even featured Gary Coleman Different Strokes , but not even that was enough to win over most critics. For some reason, a third game went into production and put the franchise to bed for good.

Postal III once again followed the adventures of the Postal Dude from the previous games as players must choose to lead him down the path of good or evil. No matter which way you choose the game is another violent third-person shooter and includes a number of celebrity cameos from the likes of Ron Jeremy, Jennifer Walcott, and director Uwe Boll.

The game failed to make an impact upon release, with developer Running With Scissors admitting they rushed the release of the game, causing it to be full of bugs and blocky visuals.

The plot is also pretty weak and the dialogue is often crass and doesn't push the game forward. BioShock is one of those games that nobody expected too much from and then when released became a huge success and a fan favorite. Set in the s in the underwater city of Rapture, the game incorporates ideas of a utopian future where a class war resulted in a massive battle in Rapture and contact being lost with the outside world. Taking on the role of Jack, the only survivor of a plane crash near Rapture, you must navigate the underwater metropolis where you are enlisted by the leader of the uprising, Atlas, to help them take back control of the city.

The plot of BioShock is in-depth and well thought out and takes ideas from the likes of dystopian and utopian thinkers George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. From the moment you arrive at Rapture, you're completely immersed in the Bioshock world and the wonderfully created universe. The game is visually spectacular and the controls are easy to master.
