Do you notice that a lot of video games based off of movies aren't that good?

Do you notice that a lot of video games based off of movies aren't that good? I've noticed it. It seems developers are too lazy to make a superb video game based off of a movie.

In contrast, are there any good video games based off of movies that you know of?

This takes me completely by surprise, I always thought video games based on movies were the best.

It's a well known fact that movies based off video games are generally bad, tho0ugh i didn't think Resident Evil was too terrible. I don't think there are any which base themselves directly off the movies though there are some good ones that just happen to be in the same universe.markop2003

Wasn't Resident Evil before the films anyway?
The best video game based off a movie is The Warriors, Rockstar managed to pull it off, it's an amazing game.

yup..games based on movies -> autosuck

they're usually made in a rush and just aim at people who liked the movie to buy it...not caring too much about quality...look at the games based on the star wars movies...they are bad...other star wars games are usually pretty good though

[QUOTE="D3nnyCrane"]It's simple, and a formula proven by games released well after the movie came out. Goldeneye, recent Ghostbusters, the first Godfather game... All good games. All games released a long time after the initial movie, concentrating on getting out a GOOD game, rather than putting shovelware on the shelves. The rest? Steaming piles of rancid excrement digested by the money-grubbing execs and and passed by cash-whipped producers in order to cash in on a movie's hype.boshlonavish

Actually, Bloodrayne was an awesome movie because of one awesome scene. ;)

Mortal Kombat was pretty good.

I thought the Spiderman games based off of the movies were fun.gamertylers

I always thought this was common knowledge.

Any movie adapted into a video game is never any. Same goes for games adapted into movies.

You just now realized that?

Actually video games based off movie IP have about the same odds of being good as non-movie games. It's just the movie games are more likely to be in the public eye, and only non-movie games from good studios get similar publicity.

Yeah generally everyone knows this, though maybe you are a little new to gaming? However probably one of the best video games ever made was based off of a movie. Goldeneye.

U kno eye hadnt notist that b4, but now that u mension it...

Ghostbusters, Riddick, Spiderman 2, Return of the King: only good movie games that come to mind.

EDIT: Lion King, Aladdin, King Kong, Goldeneye too

Everyone knows that.69ANT69

Escape From Butcher Bay was much better than the Riddick Film.

Of course they all suck, theyare only made to cash in on the anticipated popularity of the the film. It's not like they put any serious thought into the design of these games.
