Beowulf: bad game - or worst game?

I just played a bit of this on 360 after going: "It's in the bargain bin for 7.50, how bad can it be?"
Bad is the easy answer.
The controls work. But it seems that at least 50% of your interactions in the gameworld are Elite Beat Agents/DDR type rhythm games. Which would be interesting except...
...the sound in the game is borked. Seriously. If you were to say, turn the music off, you'd experience no difference in the game as the music doesn't play anyhow. Or maybe it does and it's just like every other sound effect that cuts off suddenly and noticably leaving you to sit and watch 15 minutes of unskippable cutscene where you just know people are talking, but it only plays the first 3-5 seconds of any of the 5 minute conversations.
And then it will glitch out on you and not allow you to progress.
Seriously. This game is fucked. Don't buy it. Even if it is cheap.
