Though many MANY will disagree, my vote goes towards Shenmue 2 and Crimson Sea.

You took the words right out of my mouth. This was a big misfire for Rare.

Apparently (haven't played it, only read about it), the Bruce Lee game is one of the worst pieces of crap to ever be put forth onto any platform...

If you want some stinkers, try Kabuki Warriors or Pulse Racer.

Ditto.. Great premise for a game, but the camera work and game play made it unbearable to play.

Half the time you can't tell where you are because of the camera.

Aquaman is feet and shins (I suppose the opposite of heads and shoulders) below any other XBox game I've played.

For some reason i really wanted to play this game - i think just because every time i imagine a crappy superhero like Aquaman in an underwater brawler i just laugh.

heh, funny topic. There are some X-Box games that are worse than Superman 64 ever was. Every console has bad games, but X-Box seems to have the highest ratio of games that should have never been released.

Drake of the 99 Dragons
Stake
Kabuki Warriors
Bruce Lee

they're pretty humerous to read.

It's not a "horrible" game, it's just monotonous, because you just run along a linear straight path, and kill the ninjas you find standing in the way.

Here's a few more to avoid:
  • Maximum Chase
  • Malice
  • Super Bubble Pop
  • Metal Dungeon

While there are a lot of mulitconsole crap titles like Aquaman the Xbox has more than its share of exclusive crap.

Drake has to be at the top of the list. I find it hard to believe the Xbox would have more absolute crap than the PS2, but its true.

Though in my opinion all three of the big consoles makers need to be more selective in licensing titles.

The tag line for Stake is awesome though

"If you play Stake with three of your friends, you'll probably just end up with three fewer friends."

Funny we always hear the XBox and Cube need more games. I tend to agree with this statement though, more isn't better, it's just more. The Circuit City sale was intersting though, at $4.99 even a crappy game can be worth the money, especially if you have young kids as I do. They have more games than they know what to do with now. I guess I'll find out since I picked up Grabbed by the Ghoulies in the sale (haven't opened it yet)...

easier said than done. On any games platform whether console or PC at least 85% of games will be a copy of a hit with minor differences with it's only intention being cheap and fast development to sell enough copies for a small profit. Making a good game is almost impossibly hard so console makers need to have a library of titles to make their platform appealing. A platform with 2000 crap games and 50 good ones will be more favored by developers and consumers than a platform with only 50 good games with no crap.

Actually I think you did a wise choice getting that game for your kids. It's completely geared for them.
