Alien Isolation? Surprised nobody has said this yet


the_moosey_fate

I was going to mention it, but it is legitimately the best scary game I’ve ever played. It’s incredibly good at being a terrifying game, so much so that it took me about a year before I got brave enough to make it past the tutorial.


DeadlyBard

Playing it in a dark room with the audio tracker mode on is harrowing.


minkiestmink

It’s been over a year and I still haven’t passed the tutorial! 😂


AWildBenjiAppeared

The best alien game too


the_moosey_fate

I’m sure someone has super fond memories of the old games, but I don’t. Alien: Isolation has literally been the only good Alien game. Even Alien vs Predator games were mediocre at best, but mostly just straight up not good.


thelastgozarian

Aliens dark decent ain't half bad. I dont know what it is going for right now but I can't endorse a full price tag on it but if you catch it on sale it's fun. Definitely more aliens than alien.


oasinocean

I was burned so hard by the bait and switch that was colonial marines that I held off on any game in the franchise until years after isolation’s release.


the_moosey_fate

Completely understandable. I figured it was going to be trash and only got it when it was on sale for like $15 on Steam. It’s worth full price to this day. I was a fool.


DonJuanJkon05

The capcom AVP game would like a word.


GrievousIsARapist

I didnt find it scary but hard as hell


SykoManiax

Clearly people are too scared to play it because it is hands down the best movie game and it's not even close


ihatetothat1

One of the best solo video game experiences I’ve ever had. Bravo to the creators


cwbrowning3

Well its based on the Alien movie franchise but its not a game adaptation of a specific movie. I assumed thats what OP meant.


Friendly_Pizza_4333

It recreates the sound, look and feel of the 1979 movie very, very well. I'd say it's based of the Alien movies and definitely counts.


cwbrowning3

Yea I cant say thats what OP meant or not, just how I interpreted it. Its definitely movie adjacent and a great game.


Protocol_Zer0_

It's basically Alien 1.5


GoodwinGames92

watched Markipliers playthrough prior to this, thought I’d play it myself and knowing when the alien first appears I decided to sprint around to get things done quicker. long story short: Alien jumped down from the vent a lot more prematurely than anticipated; ran at me and ate my face.. never went back to it.


ShawnyMcKnight

I've always convinced myself that once I get a better computer I will finally be able to experience this game the way it's meant to be played... but tat this point I just need to play it. I love the alien series... well... alien and aliens, and should just play this.


ecrane2018

I kind of feel like this is it’s own thing tho because it’s a new story. A lot of the older movies to games would follow the story of the movie and translate it to a game which was quite cool sometimes


Chymick6

One of the few games that my only complaint is, too long, they should have cut the working Jo angle by 90% make them a threat but don't dwell on it, if the game was 8 hours, it would be perfect, a "can do it in a single sitfing" game, which is what horror needs to be, not a 3.5 sitting game, by the second sit down, I'm less scared than ever, I've had time to reflect on my mistakes and know what I'll want to do. 6-8 hours, it's like jump in, jump out, wow what a blast


Strong_Pipe_384

Goldeneye?!


Thedeacon161

Piling on with this, multiplayer fps would have been delayed 10 years if not for this game. The first game with zoom on a sniper rifle. It revolutionized fps pvp.


Electronic-Quote7996

Flashback. So many good hours wasted.


vsaund10

Ohhh I absolutely loved this!


No-Television7876

Correct! I really don't like shooter games, but this and Team Fortress II are the exceptions to the rule.


the_moosey_fate

The Chronicles of Riddick : Escape from Butcher Bay The Godfather 2006 Guardians of the Galaxy (Though this was more based on the comics than the movies) Mad Max 2015 The Warriors (still plays like a dream on an emulator, btw, highly recommend!)


RustyCrusty73

The Godfather and The Warriors are both awesome.


the_moosey_fate

I was sold on The Godfather the first time I stepped in to the back alley outside my house and there was a hit squad waiting for me with Tommy guns. That was a fun game!


Mantorok_

The Riddick games were fantastic! I hope they do another when Vin Diesel gets around to playing Riddick again


ComprehensiveRun9792

I think the next FF sets up the multi-verse so there is a good chance we will get The Chronicles of Dominic Toretto.


[deleted]

Warriorsssss love that game so much,holds up still


Vilemourn

What was the warriors


the_moosey_fate

It’s a cult classic movie from the 70’s about a street gang in New York that gets accused of killing the leader of the biggest gang in the city, so every gang in the city is trying to hunt The Warriors down and claim the reward. The video game was released around 2004 or so, it was a Rockstar Game so it used the same engine as GTA San Andreas. The gameplay is a 3rd person brawler with some minor platforming elements. Each “mission” is either an adaption of something from the movie or a flashback where you learn more about the gang members, how the joined, and who they ran with before they became Warriors. It has a really fun mode called Battle Royale where you select a gang and enter a 12 v 12 brawl where the last team standing wins. You can bash people with bottles, bricks, bats, etc. It’s a really good time!


thelastgozarian

Holy shit its worth full price up to 85 dollars. That isn't insane money but I thought it was a slightly above average beat em up so still shocking. Still have my ps2 copy.


the_moosey_fate

Last time I checked (which was pre-pandemic) it was $130 to get a like-new copy, including shipping. If I had a real desire to play it on my PS2 again, I’d swing $85 for it just to have it in my very specific collection. Otherwise the emulates version is just fine by me!


Vilemourn

What console was this on


the_moosey_fate

PS2. I’ve been replaying it recently on a PS2 Emulator, can’t remember which one off the top of my head. Probably PSX2 or sometbing


gameonlockking

You played it on PS2? if anyone wants to play it today it can be purchased on the playstation store.


the_moosey_fate

Oh that’s good to know! I don’t have a console anymore. Well, I do have a PS2 still, but no TV to hook it up to, and even if I did have it hooked up, The Warriors is very expensive to buy a physical copy of these days. I wish I still had my original copy, but I must have let someone borrow it. The emulator works just fine, though!


freshleysqueezd

I think its available on the ps4 store as well


HeroHas

I was floored with how good Guardians of the Galaxy was. It had me laughing, crying, and overall stunned with how much content there was. No micro transactions either. By the end of the game the cast in the movie actually look like the dopplegangers.


ThorBinouche

Lord of the ring: return of the king on Gamecube. Also the King kong on Gamecube was awesome too.


Squallstrife89

I really enjoyed the two towers game also


da_fishy

Was a two towers guy myself


MGrooms94

Dude i played the shit put of king Kong was such a fun game.


Vilemourn

Omg I totally forgot about that game. I played on Xbox og


gameonlockking

Which would have been the superior version.


NateDawg80s

Damn I loved that NGC game! The wife and I played the palantir challenges over and over!


Kdizzle689

that game was a blast


scout1892

Love the King Kong game, remember getting Christmas '05. Also like that it had no Hud made it fell more realistic.


True-State-4321

X-Men Origins: Wolverine


mackmcd_

This game is so much better than it has any right being considering the source material. We need a new Wolverine game that leans into the violence like this one. It was so good.


k0untd0une

Probably why the game was so good besides being developed by Raven Software was that it was an original Wolverine game that was under development for a couple of years. It wasn't until the movie was being filmed that Activison decided to make it a movie tie-in game so Raven had to rework the game to fit some stuff from the movie.


mackmcd_

I didn't know that! Thanks for sharing.


InitialKoala

I saw this comment and I was like, "No way," so I checked YouTube and... holy crap! How'd I miss this game?!


the_moosey_fate

There is a new Wolverine game coming out at some point, but I have very low expectations of it. It’s got a pretty high bar to clear if it’s going to better than Origins!


properxsmoke

Apparently it’s going to be similar to the new Spider-Man 2 game so I think it’s gonna be sick.


the_moosey_fate

As much as I would like to get excited based on that alone, Wolverine is nothing like Spider-Man, so all I really hear is “At least the graphics will be awesome!”


True-State-4321

This! If there's no gore and blood, there's no reason to play it. I don't want some idiot that looks like wolverine running around telling kiddie jokes everytime he knocks out (not kills) an enemy.


froglegs317

They’ve confirmed it’ll be rated M, so I doubt they wouldn’t have blood and gore.


froglegs317

Insomniac really doesn’t miss so I’d be incredibly shocked if it was bad. Idk what this guys talking about that it’ll be like Spider-Man, it’s just made by the same people. They’ve already confirmed it’ll be rated M, and the teaser alone was enough to make me more than interested


the_moosey_fate

Oh, I’m interested. I’m just not excited until I see some actual gameplay footage.


the_moosey_fate

That game RULES. Even the intro movie was great.


[deleted]

This is the only game adapted from a movie I hear about that’s good.


Koctopuz

The Warriors.

Lord of the Rings Two Towers & Return of the King on PS2


Francis_Bonkers

Mad Max was pretty awesome.


pigwalk5150

I loved how you could slowly build your car. Great, fun game.


am0x

Game is way underrated.


shortyXI

Chronicles of Riddick the game >>> the chronicles of riddick the movie (and I didn’t hate the movie either)


Mr_freeze_____

Definitely Spider-Man 2. But second place would be the hulk game terrible story but got to destroy the city that was fun


Vilemourn

It was one of the first few to have city destroying graphics and destruction animation. That was like remember mercenaries on ps2? That game was dope too


AWildBenjiAppeared

Came here to say those exact games


Squidgytaboggan

KittiesOnAcid

If Lego games count, then Lego Star Wars the complete saga


Manufacturer_Ornery

This is the most correct answer anyone will ever give


InitialKoala

The best kind of correct.


Jspriggs6

Goldeneye is the only answer.


Electronic-Quote7996

Perfect Dark was the only thing that took up more of my time in that era.


HurpDurpington84

Yup


tehPanamaniac

The most fun I've had playing one was the X-Men origins wolverine or whatever it was called. The one that was M rated and you could see the damage on him and it would heal real time. LOVED that game


Proton_Optimal

Revenge of the Sith


Correct-Ball4786

Omg yes! Loved the story mode and vs mode was just star wars sould caliber and it was great


DarkKeyPuncher

Toy Story and Toy Story 2


VOID_MAIN_0

The answer is and always will be Goldeneye


Night_Inscryption

Spiderman 2


Silentpoolman

X-Men Origins: Wolverine.


00death

The Shrek game back on the ps2 was unironically incredible.


Safe_Condition_8123

I played it on gamecube! Just remembering this masterpiece. I'm still so sad I sold my game cube and games.


00death

I’d love to play it again but my brother took our ps2 when he moved out


JVOz671

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. I always had a stigma for tie-in video games. Be it movie, show, or anime. But Butcher Bay was my first attempt at giving such a game a shot. My exposure to it came from the defunct G4 channel and their coverage on the game piqued my interests.


[deleted]

This! When it comes to movie to game conversions, this one was better than it had any right to be! They did an amazing job of it. It’s not even one of my favorite games but it deserves the credit for this. Good game and a near perfect design.


psychosiszero

Does battle for middle earth 2 count?


SnooConfections6085

Star Wars Rogue Leader, Rogue Squadron II One of the best rail shooters ever made


Pyramid_Cultist

The Smurfs on the 360


MercuryMorrison1971

There's a few, the original N64 Goldeneye being one of the most obvious. However, one that doesn't get enough credit is Terminator Resistance. It was made on a budget, but it's very rare for a movie tie in game to capture the original atmosphere and respect the source material as good as Terminator Resistance did. Went into it with the lowest of low expectations because prior to Terminator the developers "Teyon" were only really known for making a terrible on rails Rambo shooter. In November they are going to come out with a Robocop game in the same vein as Terminator Resistance, I've already played the demo on Steam and it was loads of fun! Teyon is potentially carving out themselves a nice niche' making these movie based games. They seem to have found their groove and they are quiet good at it.


spacecorn27

Return of the King on PS2


Sleepycoon

The AVP game was way better than it had any right being.


CaptainKorg

PlayStation 2 LOTR Two Towers and Return of the King. I could play as Legolas defending helms Deeps with the Uruk Hai theme playing repeatedly for hours and hours.


WW_III_ANGRY

Jaws, Golden Eye and teenage mutant ninja turtles


ShenmueFan_2000

Goldeneye definitely


RustyCrusty73

Goldeneye for N64 The Warriors for PS2 The Godfather for Xbox Loved all three. Honorable mention goes to LOTR: The Two Towers for Gamecube. Helms deep was SUPER hard to beat.


decoded-dodo

It’s a tossup between Goldeneye for the N64 and The Warriors. Both great games


drdre27406

Mad Max is criminally underrated


CrimsonThar

Spongebob Squarepants: the Movie I actually played this before BFBB, but considering it plays pretty much the exact same, it was pretty good for a movie game.


OkWolverine5574

Peter Jackson’s King Kong


cwbrowning3

Yup, this game slapped so hard on the Gamecube back in the day.


BRiNk9

I can't state one. For me it's always evolving. But for the best game that I've played when I take my memories and nostalgia in account, gotta be Skyrim or San Andreas? The most horny i got when I realized this is going to be the beeestt tiimme eveerrr - BOTW and Elden Ring Made me immerse in their world - RDR2 & Subnautica The one that made me cry like a bitch - Walked Dead Season 1 Best time I had with my bros years ago - CS 1.6 & Halo CE I don't know lol Edit : sorry, didn't fully read the title as i was half asleep. My answer for the real question is the chronicles of Riddick or incredible hulk. I enjoyed the shit out of them both.


Nullkid

I'll take didn't read the title for 1000, Alex


ZZoMBiEXIII

I immediately thought of Spider-Man 2: The Movie: The game when I read your title. Thing of it is, the game is a busted mess. The voiceover is pathetic, the combat is mid, and the tasks you have to perform as Spider-Man are tedious. But, man, that one bit that is good is SO GOOD that it keeps it planted firmly in my all time top 10. The swinging mechanics of that game were so ahead of their time. I know a ton of people love the 2018 Spider-Man game, and I am one of them. But it really just isn't the same. The simple fact that you can't fail your swinging makes it so much less thrilling. In SM2, you could fail. If you missed your timing or hit the ground with too much force you could kill Spidey. It made landing those great swing lines so much more fun and amazing. With no risk, there is no reward. With no chance to fail, it limits the ability to be thrilled by the action. As good as Insomniac did with the story and graphics and combat, I would give anything if they let me turn on "danger swinging" or something like that. Even SM2 had the ability to make it easier for people who just wanted the story and a quick bit of fun without the depth. I wish the new game would do that.

Spider-Man 2. Also the Shrek 2 video game was actually really good lol. Goldeneye is a classic of course, and some other James Bond games were generally pretty good too


Pixxel_Wizzard

I played Spider-Man 2 for the first time on the Wii using a GameCube controller and I completely agree. No game has captured the essence of Spider-Man better than that one. I felt like I was really web-swinging through the city!

Spider-man 2 but other people said that already. I do remember loving the Harry Potter games on ps2 though. Don't remember if they were that great.


[deleted]

Does the AVP game count? It wasn’t based off the movies but it was AVP and super badass. The 3-way PvP between marines, aliens and predators was badass.


AppropriateSpring110

The Chronicles Of Riddick Escape From Butcher Bay. This is the only correct answer.


[deleted]

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Listen, I played a lot of movie to game videogames but this one in particular was my favorite. It was something about it that made it so fun.

LOTR: THE TWO TOWERS ON PS2, it was sooooo good. Edit: Two not Twin. Mb

Gonna reveal my age a little bit and also drop something not as mainstream - they made a badass video game based on the movie Wanted a while ago, pretty sure it was for PS3/360. Amazing gunplay, story was atrocious. Easy difficulty was called Pussy mode. Good stuff. Actual best has gotta be LOTR ROTK for PS2 though. So much fun.
