Guest The Man in Blak Posted June 3, 2002 Report Posted June 3, 2002 All right, just to throw out a complimenting thread, what do you think were the worst movie-licensed video games EVER? My considerations: E.T. (Atari 2600) Batman Forever (SNES) Street Fighter: The Movie (PSX - shouldn't this get a special asterisk or something for such a grand cycle of suckular proportions?)
Guest areacode212 Posted June 3, 2002 Report Posted June 3, 2002 Yeah, after you mentioned how much SF: The Movie sucked in the other thread, I was going to comment on how horrible the game was as well (I was just too busy listening to WOL). I mean, there's a certain appeal to getting to play as Ming-Na and Raul Julia (I assume the movie cast were also filmed for the game), but the game just SUCKED so badly that not even Kylie Minogue herself could save it. A year or so ago, I downloaded the MAME ROM, thinking that perhaps the game had improved with age, or that I maybe unfairly bashed it at the time, but no, it's just as awful today as it was in 1994. What a waste of bandwidth! EDIT: Also, I heard there were a lot of cool secrets in the game. Too bad I never bothered playing it enough to find any.
Guest J*ingus Posted June 3, 2002 Report Posted June 3, 2002 Pretty much all of the Batman movie-games were horrible, no matter what system or format.
Guest The Man in Blak Posted June 3, 2002 Report Posted June 3, 2002 I dunno about that - I thought that the SNES Batman Returns was actually quite a nice little beat 'em up.
Guest caboose Posted June 3, 2002 Report Posted June 3, 2002 Apart from Goldeneye, all the James Bond Movie Tie-Ins have been shit. The worst of all though is the Roger Rabbit Game back on the old Amiga.
Guest redbaron51 Posted June 3, 2002 Report Posted June 3, 2002 Superman gets my vote. How can you say World Is Not Enough is not a good game, it was an excellent game (especially on N64)
Guest Black Lushus Posted June 3, 2002 Report Posted June 3, 2002 Pretty much all of the Batman movie-games were horrible, no matter what system or format. hey now, the first Batman game on the NES kicked all sorts of ass!
Guest Shaved Bear Posted June 3, 2002 Report Posted June 3, 2002 Shrek...greatest animated movie of our time, worst game to come out on X-Box
Guest dreamer420 Posted June 3, 2002 Report Posted June 3, 2002 batman returns for the genesis was horrible...and hard too.
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted June 4, 2002 Report Posted June 4, 2002 Batman Forever. I liked ET better than it.
Guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Posted June 5, 2002 Terminator 2 for NES (I still want to know why Arnold was like 4 feet tall in that game) Back to the Future for NES Ghostbusters 2 for NES
Guest Sakura Posted June 5, 2002 Report Posted June 5, 2002 The PSX and Saturn versions of SF: The Movie are not that bad. They're basically weak versions of Super SF II Turbo. Crap versions of a brilliant game can't be so bad as to compare to these other titles.
Guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Posted June 5, 2002 Both of the Ghostbusters games for the NES were pretty damn horrible, though I would say the second is far worse than the first.
Guest caboose Posted June 5, 2002 Report Posted June 5, 2002 How can you say World Is Not Enough is not a good game, it was an excellent game (especially on N64) World Is Not Enough tried to hard to ripoff Goldeneye without trying to be obvious that it was a ripoff. Throw in elements of Tomorrow Never Dies from the PSONE and Mission Impossible from the N64 and you have a shit game.
Guest Ravenbomb Posted June 5, 2002 Report Posted June 5, 2002 Cool World sucked like a low-budget porn star. Even worse, there was no way to beat it. You just played forever, and you couldn't save either! Best movie that had a game made of it: Platoon
Guest Mark4steamboat Posted June 5, 2002 Report Posted June 5, 2002 Jurassic Park for genesis sucked IMO.
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Posted June 8, 2002 Report Posted June 8, 2002 Several articles I've read said that ET was responsible for the great video game crash of '83 (or was it '84?). If this is indeed true, then my nod has to go to that little bugger trying to phone home.
Guest Renegade Posted June 8, 2002 Report Posted June 8, 2002 - The Goonies for the NES - Any Robocop game
Guest Kingpk Posted June 8, 2002 Report Posted June 8, 2002 Um, hello? Does Total Recall ring a bell? It has Arnold beating up midgets in purple suits for God's sake!
Guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Posted June 13, 2002 Several articles I've read said that ET was responsible for the great video game crash of '83 (or was it '84?). If this is indeed true, then my nod has to go to that little bugger trying to phone home. Yeah, that and the fact that there were so many more crappy games out there... like the Kool Aid man game that came free with a box of kool-aid
Guest Razor Roman Posted June 20, 2002 Report Posted June 20, 2002 Gotta go with the Blues Brothers games. The one on NES was awful and the one on N64, lets just say they could fool me when I was 12, but not 20.
Guest dreamer420 Posted June 20, 2002 Report Posted June 20, 2002 Jurassic Park for genesis sucked IMO. i loved this game. if i'm not mistaken it was one of the first games where you could be a good guy and a bad guy in the game. playing as the dinosaur ruled!
Guest jimmy no nose Posted June 20, 2002 Report Posted June 20, 2002 If you haven't played Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones for the GBA, then you are very lucky. It's so bad.
Guest Anorak Posted June 21, 2002 Report Posted June 21, 2002 The Hunt For Red October Maybe not the complete worst but bad enough to deserve a mention.
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Posted June 22, 2002 Report Posted June 22, 2002 ET was an awful, awful game. Robin Hood:Prince of Theives sucked. There were a bunch of crappy Indian Jones games that sucked. There was a good Batman game for Genesis that was made by Sunsoft. I downloaded the ROM and it's a decent movie translation, especially considering when it was made.
