This is one that I've seen on a couple of forums, so I wanted bring it here too. Describe a work's plot (whether it be a film, video game, series, etc.) as poorly as you can, but not enough to be unrecognizable. Then the posters below you will try to guess what it is that you're referring to.

I'll start: it's a video game where you travel all around the world to stop a conspiracy theorist's wrongdoings.

I'd like to apologize for all this.
