Posts: 3051/5814		 By the way, it looks like we have a new addition to the list - Cars. Reviews are generally positive saying that it's a fun little romp.

Man, Goldeneye is a masterpiece compared to the utter wankery that was Die Another Day

But yeah, hopefully the new film coming soon will eliminate any memories of the bland Brosnan era, it certainly looks that way so far.

Posts: 586/1106		 There is more variety in the gameplay, better graphics, and probably higher challenge. But, if you're expecting it to be just like Zelda 1, don't be surprised when it isn't. It's for NES. And be patient, it does start off a little slow but does get much better and more involved. Look on gamefaqs, most of the reviews for it are pretty favorable and will tell you what to expect. But one idiot couldn't figure out how to automatically pick up items (without the menu). You just walk up to it and hit A, duh.

...better? If that's true, then I definately need to try it then. In what ways would you say it's better than Zelda?

Oh, and what system was the game for?

Posts: 582/1106		 The wiki list is missing a good movie/game combo: Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Though, there is some substantial stuff added in that I think is part of the traditional story and not in the movie. Things like a giant invincible skeleton guard, various quests to save Marian from a chapel, additional characters not in the film, and a lake full of magical posionous beasts. The logo and character likenesses are in the game though. Very good game that I would recommend to anyone. Plays quite a lot like Zelda but is in many ways better.

That doesn't count, because it's completely incomparable to the movie.




Not in my opinion it isn't. It's incredibly like the film. The levels are based and created around the exact same blueprints by Peter Lamont used to create the sets in the film. The level missions and order of the levels follow the film very closely, and at the times where it does depart from the film, (silo, bunker 2, etc), the level ideas and missions are taken straight from the novel adaption of the Goldeneye film by Raymond Benson. The music also closely resembles that of Eric Serra's soundtrack at points, making the game very alike to the film itself. Altogether, it's one of the most 'authentic' film to game adaptations of all time.

Posts: 3044/5814		 But to be fair, he would have a point that the Pokemon GAMES - you can have your own opinions on the franchise - are generally solid. It's a rare case of a game becoming a licensed property.

Posts: 179/294		 I remember when one of my mates was trying to convince me that Pokémon is the greatest game based on a tv/film licence ever.

Oh, how I laughed. I never did get the chance to tell him that the films and televison series were actually based on the games in the first place though.

Posts: 3039/5814		 But then again, I liked that McDonalds game for the NES where you played as Ronald.

You're thinking of MC Kids, which isn't a bad game - but you didn't control Ronald at all.

Oh, right. I forgot about them. The James Bond games tend to be pretty good (the old ones, at least).

Damn. Good. Point.

I thought Aladdin and The Lion King were ok games too. But then again, I liked that McDonalds game for the NES where you played as Ronald.

Posts: 463/1773		 It seems none of you mentioned Willow for NES. that game was based on a movie and it totally rocks.

Posts: 3034/5814		 It seemed that, at least in the 8-bit and 16-bit days, publishers with proven track records (like Capcom, Konami, etc.) had a better chance of coming out with a good licensed game than the others. Makes sense. They went after good properties while companies like Acclaim went after, oh, I dunno... Total Recall.

Posts: 1124/1757		 I know that many of the old games were pretty good. I played some sort of Disney game (it was a long time ago) featuring Mickey and Donald. The first level was some sort of forest with enemies made of leaves. I also played Mickey Mania for the SNES. Both were good games.


Edit: I think it was called World of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. Thanks, Wikipedia!

Posts: 1655/2467		 Colin is absolutely right about the Capcom/Disney thing.

Magical Quest starring Mickey Mouse FTW. THAT is one great platformer.

Posts: 3021/5814		 Wikipedia FTW!

Off the top of my head from that list... The Chronicles of Riddick was supposed to be really good. And Capcom had a great run of Disney games.
