Video games based on movies

[Maul 5]

What do people think of video games based on movies? I used to play games like Pirates of the Caribbean, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, etc.

There are a few gems out there, but most seem to just be a miss at best.  I feel like a lot of studios believe the movie name will sell the game enough for it to be good and that is never enjoyable for gamers.  I used to love most of the Star Wars games, but the new ones are not great.  Battlefront 2 was really starting to come together with updates, but they pulled the plug anyway.

It's not based on the movie, but Alien: Isolation is a wet dream for Alien fans; especially fans of the first film. They have painstakingly recreated the sets and all the sounds from the film. It honestly feels like you've stepped into the film, the graphics are so good that you can actually walk up to computers/terminals and see all the little details and textures that are exactly like the film

 

Also, I loved the Lord of the Rings games on ps2

Games like this I love, can’t put my finger on exactly why but something about it being connected to a movie is more fun.

And so what Films that you watched and then played a game based on that?

Just like Lord of the rings. I look forward to playing games made from my favorite movies as I will always want to put myself in place of those favorite actors.

The Last of Us, Resident Evil, Spiderman, Unchartered and so many more are great games adapted to movies. They are great video games. I enjoy playing them.

I have watched movies and TV shows that were adapted from games, however, I don't think I have ever played games that were originally made as movies. I am not interested in playing games that I enjoyed watching as movies or even TV shows.

I've been playing "Hogwarts: Legacy" which is loosely based on the Harry Potter series.  It's actually surrounds your character that you create but you are going to school at Hogwarts.

I think they have done something on Game of Thrones but it doesn't have much to offer in TV show to game's adaptation. The Last Of Us is where they did a very good job in the movie. I heard they are thinking of adapting Red Dead Redemption to a movie.
