"Games + Movies = Rubbish"

Is it just me or are most movie games rubbish, Here are jsut a few:
-Men in Black 2 Alien Escape
-Tomb Raider
-Minority Report

How come Disney always bring out games for all their latest movies. Who would want to spend £30 on 'The Little Mermaid'?

On the plus side, there is hope, Enter the Matrix is good while Lord of The Rings - Two Towers is superb.

May be it's me but tell me what you think

games to movies and movies to games are only rubbish because of what is behind most of them .. half of the time they just say that they have to make a game to the movie and vice versa

the matrix game is actually a real game .. likewise resident evil was a real film .. other than that rubbish was allowed to be let loose

having said that alien 3 was a pretty good game .. the manga street fighters couldn't be better .. rogue squadron .. indiana jones (snes version) .. lots of games are pretty good when they are made good .. get what i mean?

True.

Movies have heavy influences on non-licenced games. Obvious examples are Max Payne's 'bullet time' widely assumed to be inspired by the first matrix movie. Joanna Dark holding her guns 'woo style' and the first level of Perfect Darks obvious blade runner influences. For blatant movie ripoff see 'Medal of honor' and for excellent movie spoofs see conker 64!

movie to goame=rubbish

I don't know, I found it quite enthralling. I suppose we all see things differently though :D

No it's not.

It's a rubbish hack and slash crapfest. It would be just about bareable if there was co-op play, but there's not.

Goldeneye is the exception. The game was stunning.

Most movie game tie-ins are terrible such as the scooby doo games but they sell thanks to movie fanatics. However every now and again the games are as good as or better than some other non movie tie-in games. I think that The Lord of The Rings : The Two Towers is MUCH better than most other Gamecube games. You just have to know your games so that came make educated guesses on what is worth playing and what is not.

Shut up!

Please shut up!

Please check when Tomb Raider the game was released, and then when the movie was released. You'll find the game was at least released 5 years before the movie...


Shut up!


Apart form that I agree with you.

Blade was appauling.
