Best game based on an original movie?

I'm gonna go with ...

Honorable mentions goes to Lion King

A video game based on a movie based on a book.

@R3FURBISHED: never got to play it, heard it was good

Oh boy, I can't think of any.

Blade Runner:

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay

Not sure if counts, still bringing it up regardless

Return of the King was also pretty good.

Blade Runner:

This one for sure,no game has been so on point capturing the feel of the source material while being a great game in the process like this one.

Goldeneye 007, (Pierce Brosnan)

So, so long since I played it. Loved it.

I haven't played that game yet. I'm wondering what makes you guys like it? Just that it's a really well done adaptation or the gameplay?

@shadowchronicle: Gameplay. It's been a long time since i've played it, but it focuses on a protagonist name McCoy, rather than Deckard. Definitely a great adventure game.

Spider-man 2 for PS2 *Scurries away before getting stoned to death*

Nightbreed on the Amiga... just for these pics...

Game scared the crap out of me when I was younger :/.

I agree with the blade runner one. A really sweet point-click game, capturing the spirit of one of my fav movies.

GoldenEye 007 for the 64.

One of my favorite games ever. The vehicle levels and music are especially top notch.

Return of the King was a fun action game. Good times with that.

Alladin is a fine choice! I'm a big fan of that Riddick game that came out on the Xbox or Spiderman 2, now that game was awesome because you could swing through the city

Scarface

Goldwneye 007. Any answer but this is wrong

Some good choices in here.

My choice:

Quantum of Solace

Treyarch did an amazing (and underrated) job with creating this, the gunplay worked so well.

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. hands down. Blade Runner was really good, btw. I've played it almost 7 years ago, I had an apprenticeship in school as a teacher back then :)

Good pick TC, Aladdin on megadrive was awesome! Also KOTOR.

Easily Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. Incredible game.

Donkey Kong.

(I can only assume the obvious - that the game is based on the movie King Kong from 1933, which featured a large ape named Kong who kidnaps a pretty girl. The plumber had a very minor role in the original movie though...)

It's Shogun 2.

Wow, can't believe no one has said the correct answer yet.... Heeeyyyyy WARRIORS! Rockstar's "the Warriors" crushes this category soundly. Will add pick later.

@uninspiredcup: Shogun is a great choice - i loved the series from 1980 with the heartthrob Richard Chamberlain! Unfortunately for the girls he later came out as gay, but loose some gain some.

Shogun (and Total War as a Series) is derived from "Ran".

Thanks for the update - I had the poster on my wall when i was young actually - Kurosawa classic!

@mrintro: Hell yeah man, you actually picked the better version of Aladdin too!

@Renegade_Fury

Most of them are awful. I remember how surprised I was by Spider Man 2 on PS2 just because it wasn't terrible.

Aladdin is an awesome game.

I haven't played it, but I hear Avatar was a decent Wii game (particularly if you had wii motion plus as well).

no, it really was a great game. shame they haven't come close in terms of quality after that game imo.

Close...the game was going to be based on Popeye, but Nintendo could not get the rights. Donkey Kong was Bluto, Pauline was Olive Oil, and Mario was Popeye

harry potter 2 on PS2 was just mind blowing great APART from the HORRENDOUS loading times

It had ;

difficulty

great graphics for it's time

Quiddich!

House points :D !

explorable hogwarts interior AND Exterior!!!

Collectibles (Flavour beans)

it was a good solid game. Some drawbacks? as mentioned before,Loading + i found the game quite short

These were the ones that sprung to my mind at first. They were surprisingly good

Goldeneye 007 is the best one I've played. I also enjoyed Enter the Matrix as well.

Yeah this. Nothing else comes close.

I really liked Wolverine: The Game

Uncharted

yea they did a great job with this game.Hell they even expanded on the movie and did a great job on with that.

Goldeneye I suppose. Unplayable nowadays though, but when it came out it was king.

The Godfather.

Hell, I'm playing it right now.
