No, but you did mention Midnight Club on the Gameboy. I've played the PS2 version and can state that is perhaps one of the worst driving games I've played. One of those games that had good potential, but was rushed to fit the release of the PS2. The sequel is much better though, but not a patch on games like Burnout 2.

I've never played London racer II, but the original was damn good- How else could you find out if an MGF is faster around the M25 up to the Millenium Dome than a Mini Cooper? :D
London Racer II - have I already said that?
my worst game ever was from dusk till dawn.
it started out in the 2nd hand bins and bargin shelves so for its cheap price of a tenner i bought it on inpulse (inpulse buying is nsomething im normaly immune too)
anyway the game had awfull graphics, faces and objects were flat (even dreamcast had bump bitmapping suport to address this issue common amoung old games), the arms and hands were 2d even in the videos, and the max resloution was very low
the problem didnt end at the graphics
the controls were awfull and you could not change them, there was no jump key and the game forces you to walk down stairs
and to add to the frustration is was too hard
oh and btw £10 sounds cheap but i think its the most money iveever wasted on a game (thou i sent it back so it was ok)

Worst game ever, couldn't say which one game is the worst I've played, but here are a few stinkers:
Red Faction Hyped up as something special, because you could put holes in walls. This turned out to be a gimmick, and not a very good one at that. Aside from the odd occasion where you could blow up bridges and send APCs crashing to their doom, there wasn't much use for the vaunted destruction you could supposedly cause.
It was fairly below average shoot em up, idiotic AI; dull and drab level design plus vehicles that just seemed to have been thrown in for the hell of it. A very disappointing game.
Agent Under Fire Got good reviews, had good graphics and they’re some nice vehicular levels in their, but that was basically it. Standard shoot em up levels where small and boring, AI was naff and I managed to get through the whole thing in one night. Utter guff.
Darkened Skye I got this to review, and by god what a stupid game it was. Think low budget kiddies RPG with basic graphics, simple puzzles and Disney esq. voice acting then add the absurdity of having to collect skittles (yes, the sweets) in order to save what ever mythical land it is the game is set. A silly, odd little game that I've quickly hid in a dark, cold place, never to be installed on my PC ever again.
Medal of Honor: Breakthrough Not technically a game, this is an expansion, but my word it's quite possibly one of the most annoying gaming experiences I've ever had. AI seems to have gotten smarter for the enemies, while allies got progressively stupid, taking on panzer tanks with a rifle. Health and ammo packs are dropped less, which may not have been a problem if you weren’t up against the entire German and Italian army, by yourself.
Irritating level design only adds to the frustration, and by the end I got so annoyed I just cheated, put an invincibility cheat and got the damn thing over and done with. I don't know of any other game that made me swear quite as much as when I played this, and you'll never know how close I came to putting my fist through the monitor I was so p!ssed of with it.
Postal: Uncut The original postal, dated 2D graphics combined with game-play that basically just had you killing people for no reason for every single one of it's levels. It's not that I'm against this type of overly violent game, I liked the demo of Postal 2, it's just the original game isn't very good.
The kind of game that relies solely on its notoriety to sell, because that's the only good thing it has going for it.

My all-time least favourite is The Sims series. Not only is it teduious and boring, with limited options, gameplay and dialogue, but it cashes in on the gullibility of idiots with add-ons that are filled with practically nothing and useless mods.
Midnight Club Street Racing - something like that. I got it for GBA and the graphics are little blocks that are 'spose to represent cars. Rubbish.
