Acclaim, the publisher, is why it's bad. Almost every game they published is bad. Their business model was to buy popular licenses and then release games based on them as soon as they had cool looking screenshots, regardless of whether or not the actual game devs felt the game was ready. The moment gamers stopped trusting licensed games is the moment Acclaim started hemorrhaging money and went bankrupt. Appropriate, because whenever anybody thinks of "worst licensed game ever" there's a strong chance it's either an Acclaim game or a LJN game. Those two companies put out so much licensed shovelware that it completely eclipsed the actually good licensed games coming from Japan where the devs weren't rushed (and also probably worked 12+ hour days, crunch time all the time).
