Now as we all know, movie tie in games svck. But I assume we have all played one at some point in our lives, so what was the best of the bunch? I just got Toy Story 3 and wow, that game is amazing. On a scale based on other movie tie ins I'd give it a perfect 10. It has an entertaining story mode, but that's not the best part. What we have here is called "Toy Box". Basically think Little Big Planet meets RDR meets every LEGO game. It's a fully customizable open world game set in what looks like the Wild West. Like Lego games, it's full of humor and familiar faces. Get this game. Especially if you are a TS fan. The Buzz Lighter Video Game level blew me away.


Now Terminator Salvation on the other hand.......

Edit: Forgot some great ones
Spider-Man 2 (I would say 1 is good too)
Goldeneye 007
Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King

Edit 2: Any Star Wars games that are not based directly on a film do not count. Such as Force Unleashed, KOTOR etc. Things that do count are games based on the movies like ROTS or ROTJ.

Is it bad that I can honestly say I've never, ever played one? Thich makes my presence here totally pointless.... :bolt:

Stars Wars: The Phantom Menace because it's the first game I can remember playing.

The Lord of the Rings games were superb.

The Chronicles of Riddike: Escape from Butcher Bay

The Battle for Middle-Earth games, and the two hack'n'slay games accompanying the LOTR movies, probably.
Other than that... Spider-Man 2. I have to agree with the OP, too, the Toy Story 3 game is really, really neat.



Or scratch all that, I'll say Blade Runner. ^_^

Ah yes, tie-in to Pitch Black. Wonder what was up with that "Chronicles" thing, though. :shifty:

Uh, The Thing? The game was set as a sequel to Carpenter's movie. Not bad, but nothing exceptional either.

I thought Xmen Origins: Wolverine was kinda fun. It was the goriest i have ever seen Wolverine. Plus you can unlock the classic costumes and play through with those which i thought was cool.

Indeed, Raven was always good at picking up other people's properties and making at least "good" games out of it. So sad that they are reduced to maintaining the CoD DLC assembly line...

Actually, Escape from Butcher Bay was a tie-in to The Chronicles of Riddike, which is a sequel to Pitch Black.

Lalalala I can't hear you. ^_^

I hear the Riddike games are better than the movies their based on, Wolverine Origins was the same. The game isn't really great, but it's decent fun to just slash people up with those claws while they desperately try to stop you, I liked how you can see Wolverine healing in that game, it looks really cool. It's also one of those few games where entering the god mode cheat really just feels right

I remember Batman Begins being pretty good actually, that may just be me remembering wrong, but they did kinda the same thing Arkham did, by scaring your opponents and having them do increasingly stupid things the more scared they were, letting you swoop in for an easy takedown at the end.

EDIT: Oh yeah, Spiderman 2 was great, i also liked Spiderman 3, though it had it's fair share of annoyances. The Incredible Hulk wasn't terrible either.

Ultimate Destruction was (and the devs improved upon that in Prototype), the movie tie-ins on the other hand... :meh:

I didn't say it was any good either, being able to smash buildings was kinda cool, and killing someone by throwing an enormous taco at them is every mans dream is it not? Not terrible, there was some tiny bit of fun to be had there.

I really liked Scarface and The Godfather. Nowhere near as good as GTA obviously but a lot of fun in their own way.

Battle of Middle Earth 2 was nice game.

Why doesn't Nintendo make feature-length commercials anymore? :nope:

I thought Aliens VS Predator was pretty good for a film tie-in.

Which game and which movie do you mean? The latest game is actually the third, the second one had almost a movie-worthy plot by itself.

Actually, i just saw Leviathan. AvP2 would make a much better movie :hehe:

Agreed, I liked those a lot.


I've only played the latest, but I thought it was pretty good (though a little short).

Back in the day I also played Enter the Matrix to death, absolutely loved that game. The added cinematic cutscenes added a lot more depth to Reloaded, and fighting agents was so much fun. I liked The Force Unleashed as well. It felt like playing Jedi Outcast again, only more focused on slaughtering stormtroopers than on getting lost in giant levels. And unlike many I like what they did with the story. Not that of the sequel though. I hate it about the Starwars Expanded Universe that whenever they run out of ideas they just clone some dead characters so they can let them kick ass again.

No. No, it isn't one. Really not. And the second one was the only I would consider "good", heck, grand even. Monolith really know their stuff. Or, looking at OOOGABOOGA!FEAR 2, they knew it...

I didn't know there were three. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sega-Aliens-Vs-Predator-PS3/dp/B002BA52JQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1295268064&sr=8-1. Still working my way through the Predator missions at the moment, loving the gruesome finishing moves

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Knights_of_the_Old_Republic

Does that count though?

I was 12 at the time, but I remember liking Enter The Matrix.

Not really, that's the expanded universe and thus it does not tie into any of the movies. No direct connection at all.
