We recently took a closer look at why movie spin-off games often turn out to be bigger flops than the movie.
But what do you think? Is one of your favourite games one? Played Spider-Man 3 yet? Or do you avoid the genre like the plague? Let us know below.
Movie spin-off games feature
We pick the best and worst movie games
Spider-man 2 game was fantastic! It was the first free-roaming superhero game which in some ways inspired the following spidey games and the hulk game.
I also think the Star Wars games are great. Yeah, theres been some misfires, but KOTOR, Republic Commando, and the Battlefront series are incredible games.
some of the spin off games are cool but some are not they should make them all edzactly like the films and that would be fun like the film saw made into a game lol
Whilst I'm not a big fan Movie-Games/spin offs, I must say they have been improving. Pirates of the Carribean have proven entertaining, spider man 2 and 3 with the sand box gameplay have proven joyous and entertaining, the Harry potter games are also maturing along with the books and films. It does appear developers are latching on...
One of the most expertly executed games I have ever played was 'The Chronicles of Riddick - Escape from Butcher Bay'. As a stand-alone game it was a magnificent example of its genre, and probably salvaged the franchise after the travesty of a film sequel that was 'The Chronicles of Riddick'.
There's only one spin-off game I've played - Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. This game was amazing - I thoroughly enjoyed it and completed both endings. I feel it really complemented the world of Star Wars a whole lot more than episodes 1, 2 and 3 did. If there had been a Ja Ja Binks in Dark Forces 2, he woldn't have been alive for long. As for Sith and Jedi, in Dark Forces 2 they didn't die as easy as those phoneys in Episode 3. Lucas, you robbed an entire generation of SciFi fans of a decent Episode 1,2 and 3... hmmm... I'd better calm down ;-)
