Top 6 Worst MMORPGs of All Time
May 15th, 2008 by Mike

We have done lists in the past that show some of the best MMORPGs on the market, but I thought it would be fun if we flipped it and took a look at the top 6 worst MMORGPs based on the composite scores at gamerankings.com. I'm going to come out and say that out of the 6 I've never played any of them, so don't get mad at me.

6. Final Fantasy XI

Xbox360 - Square Enix - Avg. Score = 69.348%

While the PC version of this game comes in at #7 for best MMORPG, the Xbox360 port turned out to be a dud and comes in at #6 of the worst.

* Preposterously long installation period, plus layers of unnecessary inconvenience

* Virtually nothing done to enhance the experience for the Xbox 360

* Slowly paced action and exploration caters almost exclusively to the hardcore

* Tough-to-swallow monthly fees required

* Not a single unlockable achievement, unlike every other 360 game.

 

 

5. The Matrix Online

PC - Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment - Avg. Score = 68.974%

Ah, The Matrix Online. This game appeared on another one of our lists, 4 MMORPGs That Should Have Been Great. But sadly the game was not great and is actually the 5th worst MMORPG of all time.

* Very rough around the edges; runs sluggishly and filled with noticeable glitches

* Repetitive mission design¨Cmission types all blend together after a while

* Not much diversity of content

* Quirky interface takes a while to get used to.
