Movie based games

[SniperPatrol]

Yo, are any of you people getting tired of TV show and movie based video games? I must admit, some are okay, like Pirates of the Caribbean (Sea Dogs II) and Enter the Matrix would have been better if they hadn't rushed it. It made me sick the other day to watch little kids buy The Hulk and Spider-Man instead of Golden Sun: The Lost Age, FFTA, and more. Where have games gone, I know some people must like movie based games or they wouldn't sell, but they could be much better? Another one, Starsky and Hutch, I don't know about but heard it was mediocre, if anyone has played it, please give me your opinion.

I haven't played one yet. The Buffy games seem to get really good reviews so that might be the one game on the planet that pulled it off.

I dislike games made from TV and Movies, I new and origial games, not some luke-warm game that someone made so they can make money off of a big movie release or popular TV show, I can just see it no "Friends" the video game.

They usually try to do too much. They try to encompass a whole movie and add too many varied types of activities - all which end up stinking. The best movie game I've played is Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Ring (the movie based game, not the book based one).

The Spider-Man game (for the movie) was very good!

AvP (1&2) were good, sometimes the guys making these things just love the concept a movie/series brought to life and they wanna make a really great game based loosely on it. I will agree though that those 'nearly-released-before-the-movie' games blow bigtime! There are two types though, games made of movies regardless of release date (good) and games built on a schedule to go next to the T-shirts and lunchboxes opening weekend (bad).

The Buffy games are good!

Oh, I forgot about the Two Towers, excellent game, as for Fellowship of the Ring, it disgraces the name. Also, Futurama looks like a mediocre game as does Lupin the III.

Enter the matrix for PS2 is really nice... I rented it two days ago.... and lets just sya I have not gotten much sleep lately

Okay, the game was nice. The multiplayer mode sucks, and there are some glitches, could have been much better. Why don't you rent Soul Calibur 2 next time.

I have NO idea why Bethesda sold out to Disney Interactive and renamed Seadogs II to Pirates of the Caribbean. Oh well, I guess they figured they could sell more boxes that way. I just hope Bethesda don’t rename Elder Scrolls (Morrowind) to adventures of Peter Pan, or something.
