Ride to Hell: Retribution gets 1.0 rating from Gamespot. This game looks stupid.

The Bad

Some of the worst voice acting imaginable 
Awful writing 
Controls only occasionally function properly 
Almost every aspect of the game is broken in some fashion 
Poorly veiled attempt to pass off juvenile melodrama as a mature story

...
Every attempt at maturity devolves into shoddy melodrama. By the tale's end, provided that you haven't attempted an auto-lobotomy, you'll have been drenched in the game's pathetic, out-of-touch approach to sex, violence, and masculinity. Even if Ride to Hell could pass as a broken and buggy parody of the patently offensive, none of the characters seem to be in on the joke. Tragedy is greeted with no more subtly than a prolonged, agonizing "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" and sexuality is given the same level of reverence as a pornographic film.
...
Most of the characters sound like they were recorded in their bedrooms, moments after being woken up from a good week or two of binge drinking. The actors cannot cobble together anything like tangible human emotion. 
...
At least some of these crimes against conscious thought might find forgiveness if Ride to Hell weren't such a technical disaster. Crashes, graphical bugs, disappearing audio, and many more issues are shockingly frequent. In some instances, enemies will appear and then die for no apparent reason. Timed missions sometimes randomly end 30 seconds or more early, and your survival seems randomly determined. When playing Ride to Hell, you exist at the whim of some of the buggiest software ever released. 
...
That people are being asked to spend time and money on this garbage shows a profound lack of respect for consumers. All one can do is marvel at the latest entry to the list of candidates for "Worst Game of All Time."

A score of 1.0 and a Metacritic score of 16. Lowest numbers I've seen. o_0

You know, there are games like two worlds II which actually aren't AS BAD as people say (still laughable sometimes) and then there are games like this

I would've never even heard about this game if it weren't for this topic. It looks like a painful experience, I hope the reviewer didn't have to go through the entire game. Who even developed and published this? I thought there couldn't be worse than Hydrophobia Prophecy this gen, but I guess I was wrong.

Wow, I'm actually speechless. I never would have thought a game would get a 1 out of 10 rating, but looking at the game, it seems that it deserved it.

Wow. The second game to get a 1.0 after Big Rigs Road Racing in GameSpot. I bet the game is indeed a "Ride to Hell".
