video games based on movies

It's a waste of $30.

Movies based off of video games are far far worse.

Some video games based off of movies were actually pretty good - Like Aladdin for the Genesis. Lord of the Rings was also received rather well.

Oh, yeah, Aladdin was great! But things like Fantastic 4 and Spy Kids just don't make good games.

The Simpsons Game could be game of the year compared to the other ones besides Hit and Run and the arcade game.

^ Quite. The other Bond for N64 based on the ****ty movie was good too. And Lion King for Genesis and SNES. Star Wars Battlefront, the list goes on.

^That Bond movie wasn't that bad either. It was the one after it with Halle that was sucktastic. And Star Wars: Battlefront does deserve credit for being a good game.

totally agree... some games made from movies are great. Though FF7 wasn't too bad.

It's mainly 1-day-in-the-making licensed **** that sucks. There are good ones here and there, but it is rare to find a truly great movie game and a truly great game movie.

Hey, guess what? There are also a lot of non-movie games that suck. Ninety percent of anything is crap, ref: Sturgeon's law

I don't know what's worse, video games based on TV shows or TV shows based on video games.

It's a rule that as long as a Movie game does not have to be released anywhere near the release of the movie its based off of, it won't suck

Well.....60% of the time.
