Video games and movies have a strained relationship, to say the least. While there are definitely some decent movies based on video games, the vast majority of video game movies turn out to be pretty terrible. Unfortunately for gamers, the reverse is true as well, with most video games based on movies turning out to be little more than rushed efforts in an attempt to make a quick buck.
That being said, there have been some surprising gems over the years, and in fact, one of the best games ever made is a movie tie-in. We have compiled a list of the five best video game movie tie-ins in history, and we are confident that these games represent the cream of the crop when it comes to video games based on movies.
Superhero games have been around for a long time before the PS2, but it felt like Sony’s second console was when developers really started to play around with the powers and abilities of the characters we’ve seen in movies, TV shows and comic books.
Just beat the Punisher game from the Marvel Capcom Arcade Collection last night, couch co-op with a buddy. That was fun.
Spider-Man 2 was life back then. I used to swing around New York and powerbomb thugs off of skyscrapers. Other than that I played Ultimate Alliance a lot as well as Hulk Ultimate Destruction.
The production values are top-notch across the board. If you are looking to play the ultimate version of Spider-Man 2, this is it.
There are some games on the PS2 that really pushed the capabilities of the PS2 itself to their limits.
Did they really skip Shadow of the Colossus? I would definitely swap Dark Cloud for that.
god of war 2 looked better than most of the launch games, just like last of us 1 ,kz2 and god of war 3 looking better than a bunch of launch ps4 games, and kz2 for reason looks just as good in 2024, that game had some black magic
Agreed. I sometimes watch multiplayer videos of it. Best FPS i have ever played. It’s the game that initiated me to the genre. It has a special place in my all time favorite top3
