The Shit Scale is a "video game rating system" designed by the Angry Video Game Nerd to accurately measure the "shittiness" of a game. It was created in his review of Darkwing Duck for the TurboGrafx-16 (but was informally mentioned in his CrazyBus review). He later used it again in his review of Life of Black Tiger for the PlayStation 4.

Usage

Syntax

{{AVGNRatings|[value]}}

Category Color Description Examples Value
Games that are debatably bad Green Somewhat good games, with serious flaws. Not part of the turd crust, but well within smell range.
  • Metal Gear
  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
  • Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
1 or debatably-bad
High level of shit contamination Blue Games that are possible to play, but nobody in their right mind would. 2 or high-contamination
The very high category Yellow This is where you could still survive, but you'd come out traumatized... for life. 3 or very-high-cat
The severe zone Orange This is for masochists only. These are games that could kill a person. STAY AWAY. Don't even think about it! 4 or severe-zone
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Red Enough said. 5 or jekyll-hyde
MAJOR CODE RED Maroon Games that don't even qualify as games at all. They shouldn't even be on the scale! But they are. And that's so you know to beware.

NEVER play them, NEVER talk about them.

6 or major-code-red
