Best games based off of movies/comics
 

Hey, guys. What games based off of movies or comics stand out to you?

The Punisher
LOTR: Two Towers
LOTR: Return Of The King
LOTR: The Third Age (sure, its not directly based off of the movies, but it still has the places, music and characters)
Spider-Man (PSX)
Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro
Spider-Man 2 (based off of the movie. whole bunch to do; I tire of the lost balloon kid, though)
Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction (probably the best stress-releiving game out there)
Goldeneye (first FPS I played)
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
Star Wars Battlefront 2

Spider-Man 2 (Movie) and Ultimate Spider-Man weren't spectacular, but they were both above-average games that made great use of their source material.

Lego Star Wars II is also great, if that counts.

Of course Lego Star Wars counts. ;)

I enjoyed the crap out of Ultimate Spiderman.

The latest Hulk game was perhaps the greatest comic game ever. Or rather, Hulk game. But that's my favorite one. Otherwise, I'd say the best game was comic book game so far is X-men Legends 2.

I have to say that I've really enjoyed all of the Harry Potter games (GC/PS2/Xbox - I've heard not so good things about the handheld versions of each).

Goldeneye for 64, 2nd best FPS ever.

As did I until I tried to beat the Johnny Storm races.

I thought Spider-man 2 was a good game and the battlefront games were good as well. Other then that no comic games come to mind besides Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Which is the ultimate comic book game in my opinion.

If KOTOR counts then KOTOR is a great game.

Honestly the LOTR games were rentals at best.

I always really liked the Spider-man games starting with the ones they released on PSX. The first movie's game was sort of the pinnacle of that and then they changed it to the free roaming format with Spider-man 2, which I didn't really care for all that much. I actually received Ultimate Spider-man as a christmas gift, and I think it's a wonderful game in many aspects, especially how fun it is to just swing around. However, it left something to be desired for me because of how short the story is and the lack of detailed interior structures that you found in the first movie game's linear, level based style. I know that's probably not a popular opinion, but oh well. Sean Marquette (Mac from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends) did an excellent job as Spidey, though.

Some others to mention off the top of my head would be Ultimate Alliance and Lego Star Wars II. I could go on about those as well. Maybe I will later.

Do the Evil Dead games count?

I will second that....in fact for me it is prob my #1 as far as overall.

Evil Dead is a movie series so I don't see why not. I heard those games were horrible though. But I guess Bruce's voice acting makes it funny.

Might I add the first Spider-man game for PSX was my favorite game when I was a kid. The day I got it I played it for 6 hours straight and got all the way to the symbote level at the Bugle before I had to turn it off because I had a major headache. I bought that game the day it came out and it was only 40 bucks. Now games are 60...next gen they will be 70. Damn it why are games so freaking expensive? Seems like they add 10 every gen now.

Actually, Chamber of Secrets was a really good game. I got it for Gamecube one Christmas. My sister had Prisoner of Azkaban, but that didn't seem so good.

Star Wars battlefront 2 is one of my favorites as well. Love it because you can pilot the ships in space and stuff.

That's why I don't miss the N64 one bit. Those games could get as high as 100$. I remember Wrestlemania 2000, cost me 90 $. When goldeneye first was releases, it was at 89.99$, I of course waited untill it got to that 50$ promotion thing before buying.

I'm expecting games to come back to 100$ someday.
