Good Movie-Licensed Games?

[WorldCritic]

Um, does any Star Wars game count? Because if so then both KOTOR games are amazing.

That's not movie licensed, that's LucasArts licensed.
OT: Some Lord of The Ring games are pretty good.

Ok, well the Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine Origins games weren't terrible.

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. Definitely one of the best games on the xbox, a fact made more amazing because it is a licensed game.

The Lord of the Rings games are decent hack n' slashers.

Yea this, I used to love playing co-op with my buddies, destroying hordes of Orc's.

Me and my bro would just replay the original Minas Tirith city levels. So much fun.

The Lord of the Rings...Return of the King specifically (the The Two Towers game didn't have co-op I don't think?)

 

[bubba145]

the lego games do a good thing but the Harry Potter ones are okay. the Non Lego harry potter ones are okay as well.

I'm really surprised nobody said Goldeneye yet.

What I liked most about it was there would be levels that I was like "that was never in the movie!" and then I watched the full uncut Return of the King and I was like "oh wow so they cut it out of the movie and kept it in the game, cool!"

The Star Wars Battlefront games are ridiculously fun, I've spent so many hours in galactic conquest.

How has no one mentioned Batman: Arkham Asylum yet?

Yes, it was technically based on a comic book series, but with its focus on The Joker and how excellent it was, you could easily see it as a spin-off of The Dark Knight.

Other than that, I would say GoldenEye, KOTOR, and Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (though the Dark Athena edition has updated graphics).

All the Super Star Wars games for the SNES

I have to say The Warriors was the best movie game i ever played. It had a great story that went in deeper then the movie, it had fun gameplay, and best of all it was such a great co-op game.
Me and my brother would play it a lot, I loved how each level was fresh because you had a new warrior to play as, so once you master one, you get to use the other one.
one of the greatest PS2 beat'em ups IMO.

First off, most probably haven't heard of The Warriors: The Game, based on the 1979 cult classic, for the PS2. Good graphics, great friendly AI, and a hub world where you can steal things, accept side missions, or just pound on people with your crew. There's also the fact that the gameplay is actually fun!

I'd also like to nominate three Lord of The Rings games that were movie-based. The first is The Two Towers, generally good hack and slash fun where you can choose between Aragorn, Legolas, or Gimli. The second is The Return of the King; the story branches between Aragorn's group, Gandalf, and Frodo and Sam; with a bit fo variation in gameplay between the three. There's also co-op, generally fun with a friend. The third is the Battle For Middle Earth, essentially the events of the films in RTS form; has different styles of play for Rohan, Gondor, Isengard, and Mordor; and it's really fun to play the battle of Helm's Deep and Minas Tirith from an RTS perspective...and perhaps change history by saving Boromir.

Three Harry Potter games have my affections; Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, and the Quidditch World Cup. Chamber of Secrets has decent gameplay, as well as a free roaming Hogwarts; but Prisoner of Azkaban beats it on both accounts. Quidditch World Cup is great if I ever need a dose of Quidditch...

Another that I happen to enjoy, or at the very least parts of it; is Star Wars: Episode III. I might be one of the only ones who enjoys fighting the Jedi as Anakin, and fighting Clone Assassins as Obi-Wan Kenobi. The game play is fluid, least in my opinion, and it's always fun to duel friends when it comes to Anakin versus Vader...and have Vader win.

The Matrix: Path of Neo, is also an enjoyable romp. For one, it's The Matrix. For two, you're playing as Neo. For three, it's MUCH BETTER than Enter The Matrix, where you practically NEEDED cheats to pass a helicopter fight. You can also kick the ever living crap out of Agents with little difficulty at a later time; hint, it involves bullets, and sending them back...

To me, Reign of Fire is good...on the Dragon levels where you have backup. Unfortunately, sometimes the game gives you shit for allies on either side, but for the most part they're reliable.

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS!!!!!! *EXPLODES!*

Escape from Butcher Bay was a very highly praised titled with innovative gameplay....more than just a good movie tie in game.

I believe even Yahtzee had something good to say about it, even though he had to force it out like a kidney stone...=P

Now as for good game licensed movies, good luck finding that...=/

LoL, just noticed my post count..XP

HAHA SWEET! Anyway, i heard moviebob said that Prince of Persia was pretty good. Plus its the same guys who did the Pirates of the Caribbean movies which are in fact, the pinnacle of adventure movies.

 

[Flying-Emu]

There are good movie licensed games? I have yet to see one.

Spiderman 2 was pretty awesome.

And Toy Story 3 was an absolute blast.

 

[thethain]

Dude.

Goldeneye 007 for the 64.

Honestly this would be in the running for the best game of the system. (not saying it is a lock, but would definitely be in the running).

 

[Blemontea]

King Kong was a surprisingly good FPS shooter, The Lord of the Rings games i would probably only recommend the last one its where pretty much everything been polished, and some of the 007 games i have never played GoldenEye but from what i hear its good and (the name escapes me right now) the last gen ones for Ps2 and gamecube were fun-ish.

 

[Con Carne]

Uncharted 1&2, Metal Gear 4....Oh wait. Those aren't movies?
I got nothing.
