Reader Discussion: Movie Tie-In Games
Video games based on movies have been a part of the industry for as long as the industry has existed. The large majority have been catastrophes, most famously E.T. for Atari 2600. While many of these are unbearably bad, others fall short of greatness but aren't disasters (Toy Story 3, X-Men Origins: Wolverine). We'd like to hear the GI community weigh on on their opinions of these titles.
Do you buy games based on movies? If so, do you feel their connection with a film you enjoy helps you look past the occasional gameplay flaw?
Which of these titles have you genuinely enjoyed? Which were trainwrecks that you regret buying? Did you feel any of the games actually surpassed the quality of the film they're based on?
Sound off in the comments below. We'd love to hear what you think.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
