I want a new Hulk game
Ghost rider is an Underrated Game
There’s also the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie video game adaptation. Although the film didn’t do as great as the show, the game based on the Movie was better.
Good thing!
I'd say GoldenEye deserves an honorable mention.
Sure, the movie was great, but the game is just that much better.
I was hoping to see Reservoir Dogs for PS2 in this list. That was was pretty damn amazing!!!! I actually loved it.
Looks like fun games
The x men origins was one of my 360 favorite
I'm surprised that Goldeneye is not on this list seeing how more people talk about the game more than the movie it was based on.
I like the Catwoman game.
Cars 2 is another good example
Captain america the super soldier???
An Honorable mention. Transformers Revenge of the Fallen and Transformers Dark of The Moon. Specifically the Ps3 and Xbox 360 versions.
the ratchet game was also the worst😂
My god, what a game Ghost Rider was. I remember ordering it off of Amazon way back in the day and not being to play the day it arrived because my sister and her boyfriend had the TV to themselves that afternoon. I had to wait to play it the next day, and I could barely sleep. It was the rare game that lived up to my expectations, I remember not being able to put it down in the days afterwards. Being reminded of its existence now, I desperately want to experience it again.
The fact that most of these are from the ‘00’s is no surprise, truly the golden age.
Ghost Rider is one of my favorite PS2 games of all time.
The Ghost Rider game is like a God of War for kids
Strongly disagree with Van Helsing. That movie was and is still very good.
I still drop into World War Z from time to time. Tbh multiplayer is fun as well. They’re still pumping out updates too like XL mode and a new set of levels recently too. V underrated horde shooter imo
Did he just say the punisher Movie PG-13 the punisher 🙄🙄🙄 that movie was way more R-rated then the tv show don’t remember the boiling pot scene 🙄
Incredible Hulk from 2008 was definitely another fine example.
The game is honestly kind of a time capsule. See when the Hulk movie came out in 2008 it was more seen as a standalone adaption of the character following Iron Man being a success the previous year however by this point what would become the MCU was not fully realized yet. This means that while the game references MCU Thor and Iron Man it also references other characters from comics as it wasn't bound by a single universe yet.
But anyway that aside the 2008 Hulk game had some of the best open world destruction mechanics in a game until Just Cause 2 came out.
You forgot Rambo
Ghost Rider slapped!!
Xmen apocalypse
You guys forgot to mention The Hulk game that came out in 2003, I think it's way better than the movie tbh! 🙂✌️
The Punisher is the GOAT.
I’m surprised you don’t have The Warriors on here. One of the best beat ‘em ups I’ve ever played
X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Matrix: Path of Neo are so damn fun to play
Deadpool was my favorite all though a lot of people thought that sucked I thought it was alsome
Goldeneye should be on this list and definitely number one
No Peter Jackson’s King Kong the game????
The fact that he is saying wanted or ghost rider were good games …lol they were both dogshit
Shrek the third on the Wii was better then the movie
Peter Jackson's King Kong is a great game too based on a movie
from the list i liked:path of neo (altho enter the matrix i liked way more for i always wanted to see some Ghost´s adventures,when it came to side-characters),X-Men Origins:Wolverine Uncaged. Wished i could´ve get my hands on Van Helsing
Xmen Origins movie was garbage. So it was a surprise how good the game was.
The Riddick games also great.
Wanted the game was incredible! I got every achievement for it back in the day
Riddick has 2 games, butcher bay and assault on dark athena
hey its me @alon3mafia thanks for putting my gameplay of Ghost Rider ❤
PLEASE DO THE TOP 10 BAD MOVIES WITH GREAT VIDEO GAME ADAPTATIONS, ASAP! 🎬🎮😉🙏
I loved The Punisher game. Wish it was still available on PS4 or PS5
Do you guys do ANY research? Escape From Butcher Bay was NOT the only Riddick game. It had a sequel, Assault on Dark Athena.
i honestly like the Van Helsing movie
Punisher was definitely rated r
Judge Dredd and Demolition Man in Super NES
Lawnmower Man in Super NES
Personally I think that Enter the Matrix was better than Path of Neo.
Ngl wwz wasnt a bad movie
