Ha ha ha... I love how Pheonix marked "Lion and the King" on the box as "Lion and the King". Totally not trying to deceive people with that.

yeah that's hilarious :lol: I can't believe some of their games even get licensed since they seem like they would actually infringe on Disney copyrights. Some of the characters on the covers of the boxes look like they've been lifted straight out of the films and just pasted into knock-off games.

Generally, when I think mediocre companies, I think of Valusoft and 3DO. We all know about 3DO, but Valusoft isn't as well known. Look them up on Gamespot; they've got some of the worst PC games ever attributed to them.

There are plenty of publishers and developers who crank out shovelware crap, but crap isn't the same thing as mediocracy. When I think of mediocre video games, I think EA. With EA it's just the same bland ideas and bland gameplay year after year.

Isn't that ironic? The Lion King is a rip off of another cartoon.

Though I wouldn't consider them "mediocre", I consider them just downright terrible.
Phoenix Games is who I thought of too. They must honestly be the worst publisher in the world. Just look at this shit!

I can't imagine actually playing that crap. With that terrible object pop-in with a draw distance of your arm length how are you supposed to drive without hitting anything every 5 seconds?
