Top 8 Games With Disastrously Botched Rescue Missions

July 31, 2009 in Top List comments 6

Numerous games have you playing the part of the rescuer, from Mario's escapades in finding Princess Peach to Master Chief's hunt for Cortana in Halo 3... although sometimes there isn't a happy ending, which is why Gamesradar presents you with the 8 Games with Disastrously Botched Rescue Missions.

(SPOILERS AHEAD!)

Generally, the first rule when it comes to rescuing hostages is ‘don’t let everybody get horribly done in.’ But sadly, this proves too much of a stumbling block for many game heroes. Be it accidentally killing geriatrics with a killer virus or letting the damsel in distress get crushed by a cow, the following rescue missions all get botched. Spectacularly.

    Mario's constant journey to rescue Princess Peach should be up there.

    Failing to rescue anyone in: Resident Evil

    Where it goes wrong:
    Letting every single Bravo member (bar one) get either eaten, nibbled on or swallowed probably wasn’t on the mission briefing. So botched is Alpha team's rescue attempt that one of their own members gets eaten by zombie dogs within seconds of stepping out of the rescue chopper. Even worse, best boss ever, Albert Wesker, leader of Alpha, is partially responsible for the whole undead outbreak and even murders Bravo’s squad leader.


    How the day could have been saved:
    If S.T.A.R.S. had entrusted the rescue operation to a bunch of schizophrenic mental patients. Seriously, no one’s batting average could be worse than Alpha’s bumbling idiots. And, if they controlled the urge to shiv everyone in sight, we’d bet our readies the mentals would have saved a couple of folk… or bits of them, anyway.

    I lol'ed
