Best ever games based on a movie franchise?

What is your pick for top game that was themed after a movie?

I pick star wars battlefront 2

battlefront 2 is great

my choices would be Aladdin for the MegaDrive, Lion king for MD/SNES and Goldeneye

the warriors /thread

The Warriors - PS2

Lord of the Ring series.

id used to like some of those early disney games on the snes toy story comes to mind but it wasnt as bad as some of the craptastic ones out there

Goldeneye is #1 for me as far as movie-based games go.aryoshi

Star Wars: Rogue Leader

For me, it's probably The Two Towers. It's the only one I can think of that isn't completely mailed in.

The warriors and Riddick are both great games that could survive even without their parent movies,so that is my choice.mattykovax

battlefront 2 is great, but a lot of glitches. especially in the hoth level with the wampas.

The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction surprised no one mentioned it.Great sandbox game.

Edit-This paticular game wasn't released with a movie I belive, but there has been various hulk movies before and after it.

The Thing, .muthsera666

Some faves:

- RoboCop vs. The Terminator
- Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
- Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire

I enjoyed....

• Cars
• The Warriors
• Lord of the rings return of the king
• James bond everything or nothing
• Golden eye
• Mission impossible-N64
• Hulk Ultimate destruction
• Spiderman
• Spiderman 2

Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay on the Xbox. Great game.

Well, the TC called for games after a movie's theme, not a representation of the movie. Thus, games from the Star Wars universe, games like The Thing and so forth would be allowed.

And, if I remember correctly, the game GoldenEye is very different from the movie GoldenEye. I didn't see the movie until after several years of playing the game, and I was extremely confused about what was going on in relation to the game for a while.

What are you talking about they took several key scenes and make levels out of them which is how every movie game is done bar the extra levels i.e. Aztec and Egyptian it was very faithful to the movie and anyway how can a game be 100% like a movie you want everything to happen word for word thats just silly

It may not be one of the best, but it is one of my favorites: Batman Returns.

Well firstly get over it lots of people make mistakes when quoting.

I never commented on whether you said it was good or bad simply that your view that it was very different is in my opinion incorrect.

I dont care about the rest of that post that wasnt my arguement because i agree the thread is about a movie franchise i.e. a concept like the Star Wars universe which is sold to developers which makes it a franchise if i did not agree I would have quoted it and made a point about it.

All I was saying is that in my opinion your view that it was different to the movie is incorrect it followed each major scene he does meet miskin in the film and as for Grishenkos fate he dies in the film after what is the last level in the game so kinda hard to tie in. The only real inconsistency is Mishkin not dying on the archives so one arguement is hardly enough to say the game was very different from the film.

Though I think it is rare that ANY movie spawns a good direct video game, (and vice versa haha) i will have to agree with the majority and say Goldeneye as well. Although, I think a few honorable mentions would have to go to Aladdin for Sega Genesis, and the new Wolverine Origins! :D

i thought the star wars games for the snes were great, also batman returns on snes was good.

Most game base on film are terrible, but i think some is quite good, And the Best is LOTR:THE RETURN OF THE KING
