Best Movie Video Games

I know it's hard to find a good movie game, most suck as do all movies made from Video games...but there are a few; here are my favorites:

Demolition Man: 3DO (I dislike the Genesis/Sega CD game) but this game has so much variety...I used to hate it, but I fired it up recently and it deserves more credit than I originally lent it. Parts of it suck, admittedly, but the variety is astounding

Terminator: Sega CD--all in all a cool cool game.

...that's probably it for me...I like the Dune game for the Sega CD but this is much closer to the book than the movie.

Die Hard Trilogy on PlayStation was pretty awesome.

Raiders on 2600 was way ahead of the time period it terms of depth.

Goldeneye for the N64. How many games let you play an early 3-d model of Pierce Brosnon, and Shot Commies ? Eat that, "Queers" of War

I swear I'm probably the only one who actually had the guts to beat MMPR: The Movie on Genesis Twice.

Disney's Aladdin on the Genesis! That game was quite fun! (David Perry ftw)

I have to second Die Hard Trilogy, though for the Saturn...same game...awesome game...same with Die Hard Arcade, though only the title retains any shred of the movie while trilogy is almost dead on.

Alien Trilogy on the Saturn was also good, forgot to mention that...

Alien 3 for Genesis, and Small Soldiers for PSX.

Discs of TRON :p


Star Wars - Episode 1: Pod Racer (Arcade)
Star Wars Trilogy (Arcade)
Star Wars (Vector graphics/Arcade)
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 1&2
Super Star Wars (SNES)
Super Empire Strikes Back (SNES)
Super Return of the Jedi (SNES)
Star Wars: Battlefront II (Xbox)

Worst:

Waterworld: Virtual Boy

Not many people liked it but one of my favorites was Stargate on both Genesis and SNES. I bet I would like it on other platforms but haven't played them. I think I'm biased.

The Game Boy Color edition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is probably the best adaption that I played (The PS2 version couldn't hold my interest and the GBA version, while visually nice, was nothing special and rather easy), this game is VERY hard at times though but does get the best out of the Game Boy Colors sound and graphics (I'm surprised it has not made the lists of impressiveness). I'd say it is actually very underrated. If you like RPG's, play it. It has great humor too.

The Roque Squadron games were pretty spectacular, particularly the second.

I've also been enjoying 007: Everything or Nothing.

Did anyone play Willow on the NES?

Some of the Star Trek games are okay - Star Trek Invasion for PSX was pretty decent.

007 Nightfire was great - I have yet to play From Russia With Love.

I thought that the Super Star Wars games were just too difficult. Without an invincibility cheat, I could not beat any of those games. I have played through them by skipping levels and they do it very well - especially the Death Star trench level.

Star Wars Arcade - the newer one with the bonus levels from ESB and ROTJ is in my top five arcade games of all time.

Star Wars Battlefront II - Its fun, the campaign is long enough and it has a good replay factor. Should be in everyone's library.

Never played Willow - I bet it is boring. You could check if NESguide.com has an entry on it.

Hell no. Willow is a far better game than movie. It's essentially a Zelda clone but without the arbitrary puzzles and an actual plot. It's more linear than Zelda, and I think the movie's poor story and ugly characters hurt the game somewhat. Definitely worth checking out if you're into those kinds of overhead action-adventure games.

On the Genesis, one of the best is with no doubt Ghostbusters.
