In 2011, Ra.One was released as one of the worst games for the PS3. Today, you have to pay a lot of money if you want to have it. But why do you have to pay so much for such a bad game today?
Ra.One is a video game based on a science fiction film released in 2011. It tried to capitalize on the success of a film that remains one of the most successful (and expensive) Bollywood films in India. Among connoisseurs, the game is considered one of the worst PS3 games ever released. At least the copies of the game were not buried in the desert like the terrible ATARI E.T. game
Currently, you have to pay more than 300 euros for the bad game. This is mainly because you could never officially buy the game in Germany.

What is it all about? At the end of 2011, a major science fiction film, Ra.One, premiered in theaters. Alongside the film, there was also a large marketing budget: an extensive advertising campaign, plenty of merchandise, and a video game that was supposed to be released alongside the film.
Upon the release of the film, the corresponding PS3 game Ra.One was released on October 26, 2011. There, you shoot your way through dozens of enemies. You don’t need to know more about the gameplay, as it was truly terrible.
The online magazine Indianvideogamer explains in its review that the game is incredibly bad. There are numerous bugs that prevent you from completing the game, and the entire game world feels generic and interchangeable.
Also on reddit some explain how bad the game was. One user writes:
My 30-minute session was a rollercoaster of emotions. Laughing, crying, cursing myself and my life, relief… Everything
If you want to convince yourself of the “quality” of the game, check out the gameplay on YouTube. We have embedded the video from the YouTuber WindyCornerTV for you:
Why is the game so expensive? The game Ra.One was released exclusively in India. Sony also sold the game as a bundle with the PlayStation 3. In Europe, the USA, or Japan, you could never officially purchase this game.
However, if you still want to buy the game to complete your PS3 collection or just to find out how bad the game really is, the prices will shock you. You have to pay at least 350 euros for the game on ebay.
