I agree about Goldeneye. One of my all time favorites. I wish all Bond games could match it, but they haven’t.

a very good article indeed, and i agree with you on those aspect. There was also a perfect example of awesome movie based game years ago, it called Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher”s Bay, again as you hv explained, a tie in game yet working outside the movie storyline, it could work as another chapter of the titular characters.

Goldeneye might break the mold of sticking with the script. That game stated a whole genre.

There has only ever been one game I’d consider a movie tie-in that was good (Playing it again now, it just doesn’t stack up, but still) and that’s Goldeneye. Was an excellent game that really used the games story, although it did change a few little details.

The demo I saw…oh my god! Looks incredible! I mean, the developer playing the demo took down 32 people in a row! They’ve added massive battles and, hey, playing as Catwoman…you can’t beat it. So excited!

Batman is definitely not a video game based on a movie. But it still looks like a dope game. =)

That’s a good point, actually. I still think of them as movie related because we’re still mid-release and it’s character licensing, but you could absolutely argue the other side of that.

I think your article kind of brings up an interesting question — if the game is not directly based on a particular movie script, does it actually count as a movie-based game? The Arkham games in particular are (in my head) not related to the movies at all (certainly not Chris Nolan’s Batman), but are a tie-in to the Paul Dinni TV cartoon. Certainly the use of Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill and Arleen Sorkin (with Batman vet Tara Strong replacing her in Arkham City) for voice actors reinforces that impression.
