It’s a victim of bad timing really. In order to get an X-Box 360 when I did I had to go with an arcade version, but I also bought a 120gb HD, so I actually did better than going Pro and upgrading the hard-drive. I couldn’t find an Elite in stock with Best Buy at the time, even on-line, and I had $500 in gift cards (actually from airline miles). So Boom-Boom Rocket simply came with the platform.

It’s not a bad game, but it’s pretty shallow. I think of it as a poor man’s Guitar Hero. It’s a rhythm game released on Arcade. I fully expect it to drop off the list, though I kind of hope it doesn’t because that means I’ll have bought another bad game.

I truth though, only the first 5 games on the Worst Of list are really bad games. Everything else is just shallow, mediocre, or not good enough to make it into the top ten.

Even though I was going through “The List” fiasco, I re-bought Star Wars: Republic Commando as well.

It seems as if our tastes are very similar, but I was surprised to see Boom Boom Rocket on your worst list. Care to explain? It’s a hit at our house.
