Discworld will forever be the game that nearly turned me off the point-click-genre. This POS was an absolute chore to grind through.
The puzzles were mostly moon logic, the conversations with NPCs went on forever, "That Doesn't Work" will be ingrained in your brain when trying (and inevitably failing) to solve a puzzle, the terrible animation, and did I mention the NPC conversations that go on forever?
I appreciate Eric Idle's voice acting, and nods to the books the game's universe derives from, but this game was an absolute garbage fire. The PS version ate up an ungodly amount of space on the memory card, too. I've heard Discworld II and Discworld Noir are good, but this one soured me on the whole franchise.
Bruce Lee for Xbox was also a gargantuan turd. People forget just how prominent it was in Xbox's marketing before release, which came after several delays. It should have been delayed forever. I could physically feel myself aging, however incrementally it was, while playing it.
I even overheard a Gamestop employee talk a customer out of buying it. He said that if Bruce Lee was still alive, he'd beat himself up over how bad it was.
