Are there any good games based on movies?

Toy Story 2 on the PS1 what a game that was

It is considered one of the best 3d platformers of the PS1 in my books

Batman the Movie was excellent for it's time. Hitting the joker as he climbed into the helicopter at the very end with your grappling hook was epic. I still remember doing it for the first time and the fall that follows!!

Actually that reminds me, Batman on the NES is really good. Based on the first Burton movie.

You say that now. Go play the C64 version and then come back to me

EDIT: While most of my faves have already been mentioned already, I really did enjoy Alien 3 and Lion King on the SNES.

That's why I linked the Amiga version

A friend got it on the C64 about a year after I had it on the Amiga500 and I remember watching him play it and thinking "that is not the same game" while telling him "yeah best game ever...."! He had a bit of an inferiority complex!!

alien 3 was a pretty good game, stallones judge dredd movie tie-in was pretty much the same game too

KonFusion

Chron of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay was pretty good.

Demolition Man for the Megadrive is a good game which unfortunately was really overlooked.

True Lies on the Megadrive doesn't look the best but it plays okay. The ammo pickup sound at 42 sounds like it's from Duke 3D or Doom...?

One of my own personal favs, I love this game - Robocop Versus the Terminator

E.T. was pretty faithful to the story of the movie in the way you went down holes to get bits of a phone and levitated out of them.

One of my favourite games of all time is Blade Runner. Absorbing, gorgeous to look at.

I really enjoyed the King Kong game, but I don't think it got good press at the time.

Is the telltale Back to the Future game any good, love the Monkey Island remakes I got on disc so is it worth my time picking this up?

Tales of Monkey Island? They're fairly similar. Like most Telltale Games... games in my experience.

Yeah the warriors game a few years back was brilliant, really enjoyed it!

Can you dig it? Caaaaan you diiiiig it!!!!!

The World is Not Enough on N64 was a decent 1st person shooter, not as good as Goldeneye and also was one of the last games released for that system so didn't get much attention.

From Russia With Love is a decent 3rd person shooter on PS2

Technically it's a sequel to the movie, but Scarface: The World is Yours was a good game.

Again, its a sequel to the movies, but Ghostbusters on PS3 is quite good too.

I actually really liked the American History X game.It was a bit racist though.

One thing that bugged me about the Alien 3 game was that there were so many xenomorphs, so nothing like the movie.

Not necessarily a bad thing though.

The only thing worse than that game was the DS version.

Enter the Matrix on Xbox/PS2.

Running up walls and kicking post office workers along the floor. Great game.

I'm not sure if you are serious or trolling because that was honestly one of the worst games I have the misfortune of playing. Dire stuff.

Iirc, King Kong was a decent survival FPS that pitted you against dinosaurs with nothing but a few bullets and spears. I was about 12 when I played it though so I could be wrong.

Al Pacino was very young in that!
