Denis Murphy writes- Lets be honest, videogame movie tie-ins are, for the most part, pretty shit. There are rules to the exception though of course, with the likes of King Kong, The Warriors, Spider-Man 2 and Golden Eye 007 being the very few that managed to live up to their source material. But as I said, for the most part they're shit. So when this latest title popped up on my radar I wasn't exactly dying to get stuck into it.
"Loosely inspired by a Marvel comic of the same name, Big Hero 6 follows the adventures of six gifted teens at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology (San Fransisco/Tokyo - geddit?), as a rather sad series of events forces them to re-purpose their scientific knowledge to help save the world in the only way they know how - with science! Picking up where the film left off, hitting stores a week before the film launches, is Big Hero 6: Battle in the Bay - a tie-in game on the DS and 3DS that lets you play as the super squad themselves." - Everybody Plays

"Let’s not talk about video games that are tied-in to major motion picture releases. Let’s not talk about the stigma that comes attached to video game tie-ins that implies they’re all terrible. Let’s not talk about the assumptions we make about video game tie-ins before we play them or before they’re even released. Instead, let’s talk about video games. Big Hero 6: Battle in the Bay is not a very good video game."
