Special Effects Failure is showcased in this abomination. In an effort to stay true to the game that goes too far, the power ups are shown exactly as they appear in game, and they have the same effects. This results in the first power up causing the characters to show up in obvious latex muscle suits. The monsters are all very badly made, and the Excuse Plot isn't even that well thought-out.

A Gaiden Game featuring Zidane's much claimed womanizing past. Has Discontinuity as there are choices such as hooking up with Freya. Not very well recieived, but considered a Guilty Pleasure to some.

The changes made to the plot will make it a Base Breaker, but there would be a small minority who considers it to be a So Bad It's Good Guilty Pleasure.

Pretty much a quick-response card game where the subject is a Michael Jackson dance contest. Rules are pretty simple though, but bonus points are given when the choreography of the cards you play in order match that of a Michael Jackson song. And yes, you draw a card as you put one in play. If you failed to respond sufficiently, you fall down, AKA lose. Overall... ehh... not Bad...

A radio reading of The Odyssey could turn out quite epic, until someone made the decision that it should be real-time. Oops.

Surprisingly, it's not all Vuvuzelas, although there are some numbers utilizing these damn things  *

. Of course its second act's first number was "Waka Waka/It's Time For Africa" like I expected. Pretty much this would be sort of a Axis Powers Hetalia-esque take on South Africa's aspirations to host and the other countries' participation and reaction. All in all, not bad.

At first it's bought in large numbers by fans of the fantasy genre. It then turns out that it suffers from such Critical Research Failure that the result is a Translation Train Wreck. Of course, that only increases its popularity.

The actual world-ending card is a major Game-Breaker akin to the Snitch of which only one copy is distributed a year and is now ridiculously expensive to buy on eBay and if you happen to own the card you are revered by the niche audience of the game as a god.

Without the game-breaking card, the game is actually long, repetitive and boring, like War.
