This looked fairly decent honestly. For its age anyway. And it sounds like the publishers actually cared to do something original with the property-- which is really rare for a lot of licensed games (barring telltale's work).
@@tonyuk6396 I'm sure you're expecting some kinda internet argument with this comment, but I literally have not played a single Telltale game. They were just the first thing that came to mind. You could also point to the Arkham games and Spider-man, but I don't really know of any other real success story of a company with a television property, especially one that created an unique storyline. I'm happy to hear more examples though! TL;DR: I listed Telltale simply because I couldn't think of anything else-- not out of any personal love for the company.
Xena is still one of my fave shows, still iconic and was always pushing boundaries, I struggle to think of anything that balanced emotion, drama and humour so well. Never seen the game before, glad it's not awful.
This game is 40th on the worst games list (out of 41 with reviews) 39th: Bee Movie Game - 65% (Metacritic) 40th: Xena: Warrior Princess - 66% (GameRankings) 41st: Mass Effect: Andromeda - 71% (Metacritic) From the stream, Hannah Montana is 8th with 24% and Bubsy 3d 26th with 45% (Peter is bang on with reviews from the 90s). Bubsy 3d also has the highest individual critical review of any game they've played with 93%!!
I just realized that there are only 3 Worst Games Ever episodes left now until the show ends here on Vidiots. I shall cherish every single last one of them; just like I have for this whole series.
I have played this since I was little and I know where every little secret is. I can finish this game entirely in just a couple of hours. It's so wierd to see someone play it trying to figure out the controls when I could never forget them.
I can somewhat relate to the Xena attraction, but from a male perspective. Absolutely most definitely probably maybe used to fap to reruns as a young teen, since we’re all sharing in this open forum.
Watch the first season of Spartacus from Starz. Lucy Lawless (as well as everybody else in the show, pretty much) gets naked and she's unbelievably hot. She plays a good character and nails the performance, too. She really makes the whole show, it fell off a cliff when she died in the show and the guy playing Spartacus sadly died of cancer.
Xena was certainly a pretty solid PS1 game back in the days. that cyclops 29:05 at the end of this level makes for a one of those "defeat the upper torso of a giant" kinda boss fight. Wherein you had to throw the "chakram?" into his eyeball to make him fall of the cliff he´s holding on to attack the player, which overall was pretty neat for the time.
I loved playing this game as a kid but I found it hard. Would always get to the cyclops (yes there's a giant cyclops) and would have no clue how to beat it lol
Just wanted to say I first watched, Ben and Peter on what culture very recently. The last few months actually. Since then watched a lot of what culture videos and now watching a lot of vidiots videos. Just wanted to say lists are fine and I do enjoy a good list but, I love your videos and think you unique approach and the way you do things is great. Shame some of your stuff isn’t going to be happening any more but, hope you guys keep making videos and I see you and Peter show up on other videos somewhere else. I don’t do twitter so if there’s other ways to follow you guys let me know.

Is the Christmas special Die Hard? I don't actually know if there is a Die Hard game or if it's shit(worst than most) or not. But a girl can dream and hope because really, Die Hard is the only Christmas movie worth watching (in my opinion).
@@philbecker4676 That would be why I said “I don’t know why but…” Like in “I don’t know why but some people need to state the obvious in comment sections just to make themselves feel bigger.”
This game wasn't as bad as I remembered it, I guess. Then again, the only video games I played at this time were sports games and RPGs so manipulating a camera was alien to me, and this camera was already alien as fuck. I remember vividly getting hacked to bits any time multiple enemies were on screen, which is more and more as the game goes along. I also remember being bummed that you couldn't really do banked shots with the chakram, because that was pretty much all Xena did with it in the show. She'd get 6 or 7 bounces out of the thing.
Honestly, I felt the game wasn't really that bad for late 90s game tech. Compaired to many modern games, it seemed the developers cared about the IP. I enjoyed the game and still play it occasionally.
I honestly got a different opinion. Think less of the game in current standards, but for its time. The conflict of this game was its extremely linear story and lack of progression. Xena is already an experienced fighter; and she's easily able to act akin to herself in the show. Combat, for the most part is very straightforward and easy to understand. Though its easy to beat the game with nothing more than the dash roll. the Chakram mechanic actually wasn't bad and essentially one-shot anything it hit. The power ups were interesting but were different colors of insta-kill (excluding the revive jewel and Golden Xena)
I heard there is a PS2 Version of this, which is made by Blast Entertainment, which is worse than this. You should review that on your TripleJump channel.
Doesn't actually look that bad a game. I mean clearly it's shite, even for a licensed game but not so shite you wouldn't have played through it if some heathen had bought you it for Christmas. What happened to the real stinkers? The Leisure suit Larry's and Bubsy 3D type games? I'd send Rugby World Cup 2015 on the PS4 if it didn't cost more in stamps than its worth in comedy value - I thought it couldn't be 'that' bad when I bought it for £2 the day I got my PS4 but man was I wrong.

What's original about Telltales work, barring the first Walking dead they are/were all the same.

This game is great, loved back in the day and still like it. It's a decent hack slash and captures the esence of the original
Small Soldiers, Jurassic Park Lost World were awesome games on PS1 to name a few.
I don’t care what is said. This game and it’s stupid POV disc/halo throwing stuff was brilliant
Josh Chandler it's called a Chakram.
"We've said worse" is the Vidiots catchphrase.
Xena is still one of my fave shows, still iconic and was always pushing boundaries, I struggle to think of anything that balanced emotion, drama and humour so well. Never seen the game before, glad it's not awful.
Loved xena show since 2010
Are we counting the Hercules series as it's own thing, because I'd consider that right up there with Xena.
Most UNDERRATED game ever! Just a perfect, legendary hack and slash.
Agreed. These guys obviously have no clue what they are doing
@@redbeardnj If by perfect you guys mean pretty mediocre across the board, then yes. Even when it came out it was a universal MEH.

Nick Tullett Did you keep these stats yourself?
Fair play if you did.
@@LuckyDT I have a big ol' spreadsheet on them. I'm going to post the whole thing on the Christmas episode
"The classic double jump..." What foreshadowing! lol j/k
God I wish there was a great modern Xena game.
Well, we got "God Of War"...male lead though.
But it's pretty much "Xena with a male lead" :D
I just realized that there are only 3 Worst Games Ever episodes left now until the show ends here on Vidiots. I shall cherish every single last one of them; just like I have for this whole series.
Now I'm sad
All of us are.
Where did they move
Why did they stop doing them?
@@21pilotstillidie58 They're still making them, their new channel is Triple Jump
As a fan of Triple Jump who only stumbled upon this channel recently, I do enjoy all the extra swears
Xena: Warrior Princess reruns helped me get through adolescence as a teenage boy. I’m forever grateful.
Cool I'm a die hard fan myself since 2010
I have played this since I was little and I know where every little secret is. I can finish this game entirely in just a couple of hours. It's so wierd to see someone play it trying to figure out the controls when I could never forget them.
not worse than most, just better than some
“We can make Princess Diana jokes, but not that” - Benth Pott, 2018
Nothing like second time lucky.... try vidiots again full time at some point 😉
It was only later in life that I realized my affection for Xena was one of the first signs of my bisexuality.
Yep same here.

I don't blame you mate. When I was a youngling I always had a crush on her!
@Ha-Yunn I think we should start an appreciation club lol ;)

Xena actually a pretty good game.. every level gets more and more interesting. Spent a lot of time on this when I was a kid 🤣🤣🤣 good memories!
Wow that game actually looked pretty good!
Is Peter secretly the voice of Duke Nukem? Peter Nukem? Duke Austin? Suspicions have arisen
Everytime one of them says double jump I expect a triple jump joke but then realize this predates that channel
12:02 "Innocent Hostages" implies that there are guilty hostages as well. Guess it would be okay to let guilty hostages die...
I think the shark is a jaws reference as universal helped make the game. They've got a massive shark strung up like that at the theme park.
being a kid in 2000 playinng xena was a blast. wonky AF but like most every game. you can c that they even have good time in 2018. thats sumthin
Fantastic editing as always my doods, yous lot are insanely talented
"dont you princess Diana" HOW THEY ALLOWED THIS VIDEO TO EXIST?
Great video it is fun to watch these movie/TV show games from back in the day.
I loved playing this game as a kid but I found it hard. Would always get to the cyclops (yes there's a giant cyclops) and would have no clue how to beat it lol
Hit it in the eye with the chakram
I lost it every time they did Kane's entrance theme.
This actually looks pretty good!
The games doesn't see bad from Stanburdan's review. Aged definitely but considered getting it from a Toy Vaule
Whatculture to yogscast, what an upgrade, only just found this
Not a fan of Halloween but loves Christmas? Atta boy, Ben.
Birt is the speedrun record holder with a time of 27m 16s
I actually loved xena when i was younger and was very pleased you didn't ruin anything by not knowing the show
I'm putting my tin foil hat on with this one boys (or GIRLS!) but at the end Ben said "The last Worst Games on this channel."
Gladly will watch and 'Like' again
Love this game ❤️ chakrum cam rules !!
Battle on Xena!
Xena's a legend ❤️ The game specially the chakram ain't half bad 😉
Peter’s a bit of a dodgy customer isn’t he? It was the “boundary break all over her chest and back” line that gave me pause for thought. ;)
Wait! are you guys never opening the briefcase?!?!
Worst Games Ever Christmas Special?
My best Christmas gift in a while!
I actually loved playing this game with my aunt back then, maybe we just have low standards.
Nah lol. Its a good game. These guys just have no clue
You guys having a good time made the video all the more enjoyable. :D
Xena and Spice World? Is it 90s Gurrl Power month??
You guys are horrible at that game. Once you get used to the controls that game is a lot of fun. One of my favorites on the PS1.
Would I have paid full price for this? No.
Was this way better than what we got on the N64? Oh yeah.
Wait, Peter knows Kane? Ben, did you show him? Please, tell me he doesn't know about Katie Vick!
For a PS1 it doesn’t move and look too bad
Just wanted to say I first watched, Ben and Peter on what culture very recently. The last few months actually.

You know I'd probably have happily played this as an 8 year old no problem. Certainly would have enjoyed it more than Spice World *shudders*
Very interesting content.

The die hard original game does exist I forget which system I think it was ps1. Amazingly it was really fantastic.
I used to play this all the time. Looks depressing now
oh no! more people looking for castle Aaaaagh?
King Arthus wont like that at all.
There you are I thought I'd lost you
Loved this game growing up, one of the best looking game at the time ,If this is like worst game ever you what the fuck where you playing in 1999!!!?
Low blow! Low blow! Bring back Sheriff Low Blow!
I don't know why but after watching you play this game I'd be curious to see you guys play the old school original PlayStation "Tenchu"
Not a hated game.

This was uploaded earlier. Probably fixed some audio syncing glitch.
yeah I was wondering if that was my video/hallucination or if there was a problem with the actual upload
Ha, along with Crash Bandicoot, Disney's Action game Starring Hercules was my favourite game as a kid :')
This game took me a decade to complete. That is all.
You must really suck at games because this one was easy AF.

Watched half the video, took a shower, only to come back and the video was gone! But, alas! It has returned!
Huh.
I thought the audio sync "issues" were part of the edit, to be honest.
Hmm Xena is interesting 🤔

Keep them up lads!!!
Tell your friends......
That soon this channel won't have any new content. 😢😭😥😓😩😫
