Yeah, I'm a bit confused why this got so savagely reviewed myself. It isn't great, sure, but it looks functional and competent if a bit boring. Some of those reviews make it seem like the game killed their firstborn child with how badly they bashed it. My only guess might be asking for full price for such a short game really rubbed people the wrong way?...
Yeah sorry about the graphical glitches xD As you can imagine we made Biker Mice from Mars a priority to get running correctly. If you run in to this again (if you do any more PS2 games), you can try pressing F9 to switch to a more compatible mode, but you will need to have a strong computer. Just make sure you go in to the GS plugin settings and set "Extra rendering threads" to 3, that should improve things..
@retrovgm Are you using an AMD graphics card? If so this is normal, for some reason AMD drivers are terrible and it chops the performance in half, it seems fine on Nvidia cards (speed is equivalent to DX), we've been working with AMD to try and get that fixed. If you are using an AMD card, I'm not sure what's going on, unless you've got Blending Accuracy bumped up or something lol.
@retrovgm The idea has been floated. I had a long conversation with our guy who did the OpenGL renderer for GSDX and he said we wouldn't see much benefit generally from Vuikan/DX12 since it is completely dependant on the number of draw calls, the PS2 doesn't do more than 10,000 of them and you need to be hitting 100,000 or more to see any benefit. It's possible AMD cards will see a performance boost due to not being the horrible OpenGL driver anymore, but it's just speculation at the moment. There might be a Vulkan renderer one day, but I'm not going to commit to it :)
You know, I actually kind of like the jerky animation. I just see it as being over the top for the sake of being over the top. To be fair I'm a bit Tipsy at the moment but I did watch most of this earlier today, when I was sober, and enjoyed the jerky animation then as well.
Xena's chakram is the circular blade she throws around. Can't wait to see you play it, that series was one of my faves growing up (and is still fun to watch now!)
This game is tied 9th on the worst games ever list: 8th: Hulk Hogan's Main Event - 26% (Metacritic) 9th: Rogue Warrior & Biker Mice From Mars - 27% (Metacritic) 11th: Shrek: Treasure Hunt & Crazy Frog Racer - 29% (GameRankings /Metacritic )
Hilariously, if you rebooted the show but kept "Ronaldo Rump" as the villain, people would assume you were changing the source material to take a potshot.
Imagine if this is the first WGE/SGFW video someone was watching - them both saying each other's names, calling each other sandwich and sausage, etc... But as a fan, I love it. Best birthday gift!
I had Biker Mice from Mars action figure (all I remember is that is was a purple bike). But I always thought the show should've been called "Motorcycle Mice from Mars" for the alliteration..
What's the name of the totally not at all sexy Micheal Jackson-looking mouse? Asking for a friend. OMG that Xena game is fucking terrible! I pirated that shit and still felt ripped off!
Only thing I can imagine why it got reviewed so badly is due to there being a SNES game of the very same name that is a beloved classic SNES racing game and people maybe expected they would now get the same experience in the next generation and might been have disappointed to find out that it's an action adventure instead?
Finally, accurate forgiving review in what this forgotten obscure is really like in reality. For the longest time, I keep forgetting I do have a complete copy (USA copy, I'm in USA) in great condition. I keep forgetting to make time and effort to play it. I got it really late into video game collecting and was playing less as time goes on. Thanks to this more down to earth honest review and understanding. This is definitely cheap budget gaming in a way, meant more for kids who are obviously not very good at gaming. I remember being somehow underwhelming when testing game out after purchased it for like, few dollars probably. It's now worth about $40 ish in value. After watching this and other video, it's safe to let my copy go without playing it more. I have other better games to play.
The interesting thing is that picture of the mouse woman can't be found through an easy rule34 search; you have to specifically go to the furry website e621 🤔🤔🤔🤔
They are never doing it again because Peter moved away and they are all giving up making videos and playing video games forever so that Ben can become a gardener and Michael can open up a store for parrot supplies (but not actual parrots). #ScandalPending #NotFakeNews
the super Nintendo biker mice from mars is hella dope. I have it still. The show in the 90s was killer haha that and street sharks were a few of my favourites. yeah the one for PS2 is awful lol agreed
I never watched the show but i has all the toys and i fucking loved playing with them. I don't know what it was but they just looked so cool to me. One mouse has an eye patch and the other has a metal eye. What else could you want as a child
Oh my God, I grew up with Toonattik as well 😁 You two are the first TH-camrs I've come across that actually know what Tooattik is. I used to wake up really early every Saturday and Sunday morning when I was at Primary School and would watch it from start to finish ❤
I mean, as far as mid-2000 smaller budget games go it isn't that bad. I owned a Harry Potter game from around the same time and it was a thousand times worse xD
The game genuinely didn't look too bad other than the emulation issues. It must get steadily worse the longer you play it for the reviews to be that bad.
I'm surprised someone else remembers Even Steven's was 20 years ago. And when Shia Lebouf WASN'T screaming like an idiot at the screen. Before he tanked his career, basically, by being in Transformers. Geez, what the hell happened to Shia?
@@blackphoenix77 Oh...man; sorry to hear that about him, because he's one of my favorite actors, and I'm a fan of his work, in both "Even Steven's" and "Holes". Not sure about "Transformers"(2007), though...but it's sad to hear that he's not doing well. I hope he does recover eventually though. He's a great actor.

This takes me back. I loved the tv show. And Street Sharks....and Gargoyles.....the 90’s were weird.
Horrible game, I look forward to this every week.
Hessed3712 - Street Sharks was awesome. Visionaries is the best through
Biker Mice, Street Sharks, Extreme Dinosaurs. The three phases of my early childhood 😁

Love the callback
I love 90's TMNT knock-offs. Street Sharks, Biker Mice From Mars, Extreme Dinosaurs etc
Extreme Dinosaurs was definitely the least known of the bunch.

Coincidentally eating a sausage sandwich... spookums...
I don't think this game looks too bad! I'd rather play this than Billy the Wizard or Sonic '06.
The knock back mecanic is to give yourself room when you get surrounded.
Used to watch Biker Mice from Mars on The Den 👍
Toonattick, what a reference! 😂😂
the male host of that was deplorable. he looked like a washed out butlins host
I just realized that zoom in moment with the distorted music is "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton

@@PigeonLord21 All in good time
Ugh. The first BMFM game on SNES was awesome. This sequel was AWFUL. Or should I say this Squeekuel.
Hilariously, if you rebooted the show but kept "Ronaldo Rump" as the villain, people would assume you were changing the source material to take a potshot.
That into had me folded in half. You could tell nobody knew what to do once they'd said "I'm Peter..."
I wish they would bring back that "Tell your friends!" intro on Triple Jump.
Can we get T-shirts that say "I took a turn on April in Stoke-on-Trent"?
I think we sell those here in Hanley...
I actually finished this game. Some of the later levels drew me crazy.
Imagine if this is the first WGE/SGFW video someone was watching - them both saying each other's names, calling each other sandwich and sausage, etc... But as a fan, I love it. Best birthday gift!

Are you Ben's cousin
What's the name of the totally not at all sexy Micheal Jackson-looking mouse? Asking for a friend.
OMG that Xena game is fucking terrible! I pirated that shit and still felt ripped off!
peter has been to the pound shop for his bottled flavoured water.....
I think there should be a video of Ben and Peter mispronouncing words for an hour.
Mmmm cool a show I haven’t seen before

I always try to guess the metacritic score, and this time I was actually bang on!
I love Peters confused ickle face
Is this at all related to my favourite David Bowie album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Biker Mice from Mars?
IIIIIIIIIIITS WORST GAMES DAY!!!

Can't wait for the Worst Games Ever Jingle Jam stream.
#Thankyouvidiots
the snes version is the one you wanna play
That's more of a meatus than a urethra if you wanna be technical about it.
I like how laidback these December WGE feel...
I used to watch this show an I own a Modo action figure ... EPIC
"As usual, we didn't pay attention."
Nice new pose , Peter. :D You will make us hungry with all this sandwich and sausage talk.
Let's be honest, they probably all took a turn on April. It's ruining my childhood. Hahaha
The SNES game is an overlooked gem, imho
If anyone can answer, what exactly is going to happen with the Worst Games Ever series, I hope they don't stop 🙁🙁
Zach Boardman continuing elsewhere but they don’t wanna say where just yet
I have a feeling it's gonna continue in its third iteration somewhere. :3 (the first being on whatculture, where they made like 10 episodes or so)
They've mentioned they may only do them in their spare time, so may be rare uploads on the channel.
They are never doing it again because Peter moved away and they are all giving up making videos and playing video games forever so that Ben can become a gardener and Michael can open up a store for parrot supplies (but not actual parrots). #ScandalPending #NotFakeNews
TripleJump incase you on a random didn't know
dude toonattik was my childhood! biker mice from mars was the best!!
YAY !!! I got to drunk ~ rave to the WGE/SGFW intro again !!!
Loved the ending there
Ronald Rump....RUH-OH!
You'll fall through a portal into the 90s again? How often does that happen?
It’s on TH-cam now I’ve been watching it for awhile now got that shit on repeat
It was also on channel 4 at 0430 weekday in the 90's
Speedrun record holder is KuV4J4 with a time of 1h 49m 19s
im gonna miss you guys every week :(
the super Nintendo biker mice from mars is hella dope. I have it still. The show in the 90s was killer haha that and street sharks were a few of my favourites. yeah the one for PS2 is awful lol agreed
Gonna miss the Simon Miller impressions, maybe there's a product in that, I dunno
I never knew that they even that this even existed this has to be a pal only game
I never watched the show but i has all the toys and i fucking loved playing with them. I don't know what it was but they just looked so cool to me. One mouse has an eye patch and the other has a metal eye. What else could you want as a child
Now i know where ive heard that background music before. Abroad in Japan.
Great channel
Miker Bice from Mars Bars
I saw the company criterion in the game opening too, what did they do??
Oh my God, I grew up with Toonattik as well 😁 You two are the first TH-camrs I've come across that actually know what Tooattik is. I used to wake up really early every Saturday and Sunday morning when I was at Primary School and would watch it from start to finish ❤
Looking forward to next week it's one of the few games from WGE (SGFW) that iv played
OK SAME SONG HERE WE GOOO
YES.
This game looks decent for a ps2 game.
Like a random throwaway purchase to mess around with but nothing memorable.
This game was actually ok in my opinion. Doesn’t really belong on the show, but I’m not mad, it’s still a laugh.
i had toys of this holy shit this threw me back like 15 years
For a second here I thought you were having a go at the SNES version!! Fisticuffs Sir!!
...But nah this looks well shit yeah, carry on.
Is this worse than the SNES racing game that was sponsored by Snickers?
Oh no. My friend owned this.
MARS WILL BUILD THE WALL WITH THEIR MICE!
2:25 ben 😂😂😂 marrsss
That game is cringy as the new Biker Mice from Mars cartoon.
Any speed runs?
Oh it's based on the new show. Well, that's disappointing.
Oh man this one had me 😂😂😂😂 v good guys
I loved the show but this game... Euhm not so much. Great video guys... or girls
I mean, as far as mid-2000 smaller budget games go it isn't that bad. I owned a Harry Potter game from around the same time and it was a thousand times worse xD
Long live 'Radnor' Lothbrok
The original 1993 version is superior and is definitely worth a watch.
Looking for a Ren? How about REN & Stimpy?
Riker Rice Rom Rars!

hated this Cartoon along with Street Fighter USA Cartoon
Probably pronounced me-lah. Like mila kunis.
Rancore is what they are called, close though 😉
holy shit toonattik
biker mars from mars was a excelent 90 series, and the snes was the best bike game in that console, this ps2 version youre right is a complete sh*t
I remember toonatik
you have to play aliens colonial marines. please.
They have now on TripleJump. Just incase you didn't know mate
Oh how i hate videos that starts with random jibrish
Tetra-hydro- carbon. THC.
who caares about scores from gaming websites..They gave alot of the better games low scores.
