KISS Psycho Circus: The Nightmare Child – 2000
Critical shred: “Overall, it left a bitter taste in my mouth.” -
Whoda thunk that the band that gave us lyrics like “Shout it. Shout it. Shout it loud” and “L💟ick it up. Lick it up. Oooooooooooooh” would have produced the incredibly unimaginative gameplay found on PC and the Dreamcast? Well, probably anybody but a Kiss fan, because even Todd McFarlane’s nightmarish designs couldn’t save this first person shooter from lookingas desperate and hokey as the band’s latest tour.

This one is kind of a♓ cop-out since you actually play as a Kiss tribute band, which is notable as the single moment of licensing restraint from a band that’s already sanctioned bicyc💛le shorts, midget cover bands and a f**king coffin. Those are cool, but appearing in a videogame? “We’re just not comfortable with that.” says the band currently selling bibs and wine on its website.
