Guest EQ Report post Posted February 15, 2004 Yeah, the Spider-Man game based on the movie wasn't bad. Not a gaming masterpiece, but I still felt like I was controlling Spidey, that's all that really matters to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, when was the last good EA non-sports title? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LivingLegendGaryColeman 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2004 I haven't played them in a while, but I thought Evil Dead and Hulk were alright. Real in depth games? Not really for movies, but there are a couple that I have fun with. I liked the Haunted Mansion game, not really based on the movie, but it was a fun, platform, not necessarily kids game. And definately a step up from that horrid, boring Cat in the Hat (movie) game... (yup, I'm a sucker for the kids games, but still, yikes). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest SP-1 Report post Posted February 15, 2004 Well, considering the craptacular movie it's based on, what do you expect? Mind, I'm not defending EA since it appears they've been sliding recently from the posts here. BUT . . . c'mon, it's this wretched pile of crap that the game is being based on. *breathes deeply* No. Musn't judge the movie until I see it . . . must not . . . must . . . not . . .
