Have you played every game made from a movie? If not then your claim is invalid.You can't lay claim to having an opinion about the quality of a game unless you have played it.Tron 2.0 is an awesome game. There are several great games based on the terminator series. Take a look at all the starwars games.Are you going to claim that you have played all those games and you think they are all terrible?how could you say animal crossing looks bad its a verry good gameand the cronicals of riddick is a really bad game and the movie sucks tooevery game made from a movie except goldeneye sucks

Actually.. there is talk of the making of Metroid.. But she won't be fighting her usual baddies.. I believe I was reading up in how it was going on her upbringing and how she came to what she was in todays "Metroid" games.If the make "Samus" as her usual self in the games.. fighting her usual baddies and space pirates.. Then it may become a total flop. Anyways... not all games copped off movies are bad.. just don't watch the movies.. or on the other side.. don't play the games.. then you won't have to worry about not liking one or the other.. HAHAHA B)

Simple the people who made the movies just were too tired and too lazy ( and no more creativeness) to make a good game! SO there you have it thats most probraly the ANSWER!

If you haven't played them I would like to know exactly how you came to your conclusions. While we are at it lets get your opinions on more things you have never experienced and likely never will.Do you like traveling in space?What's it like being a billionare?Is it fun being popular?Do you enjoy sex (with a human other than yourself)?you dont have to have played them to know they suck

Most of them suck because the game makers know the fanboys will flock to the game no matter how crap it is.They've got an assured sales base, so they don't need to spend time, effort and money on making it better.The Wolverine game is an example, also Judge Dredd, etc.It's rare to find a developer who really does justice to a movie AND the game - the game should be able to exist even if the movie was never made. Best example of a good movie-game would be the Lord Of The Rings games.

its like when they just like when they make a movie that is based on a book, it just turns out bad, they leave out so much important/good details and it really takes away from the game, like the topic starter said its because game designers are rushing it so it comes out the same time the movie does and so the movie producers can make more money.

Tring to copy too much of the movie: no enough liberty to actNot enough link to the movie: only thing used is the nameRush to get it out with a movie: too fast to finishSometime a movie ain't really doable in a game but they try: a result really badUsually based on money and publicity inside the game: too much on this no linkFor all that i should say that i don't buy game based on moveexcept matrix: Path of neo and it's really not worth it1/2 to 2/3 is based on the first movie the link to the movie is really badIn-Game movie suck: Rip-off of all the movie + animatrix mixed in one videoBut still it's matrix so i play for Hand to Hand Combat: Shooting Sucks

they try to mimic the movie instead of creating their own plot and story.

Simple!Games to movies and movies to games suck because of the following things. You cannot transfer specific features one to another. Films have their qualities as do games. You cannot transfer these qualities from a movie to a game or vice versa. You cannot expect to transfer high quality video and/or audio to a game or the pwoer of control from a gameto the movie. And the fact is that the creators of movies don't exactly know what gamers liked about theirgames and vice versa. It is immensly hard to mix genres, let alone platforms. Hope this helps.

The worst has to be Streetfighter the Movie - completely destroying the great gameplay from Street Fighter II.The characters were even digitised from the film.

The reason to me is simple. Games and movies are based upon two different ideas. Movies are meant to bring in someone who hasn't heard anything about it, bring them up to speed quickly, and finish within 2 hours. In movies, every conflict is important, because of both the limited time AND because the first rule of writing is "Don't [display] anything unless it is important". Movies have been using the same tactics for 50 years to get done what they need to get done. Therefore, movies tend to bend things to their needs.Games are another story. Games are meant to be played for a long time (most of them anyhow). While many games will assume you know nothing and at least offer you a tutorial, those are usually reserved for strategy games (which usually work on a sliding scale anyhow). Games can waste as much time as they want developing any character, building up tension, or anything else for that matter. Games have been changing ever since their creation, even if it does take longer than we would like.The reason why 99% of games based on movies and movies based on games suck, is because they work for different agendas. Games need to fill time with mindless combat, collecting, or puzzles. Movies can't afford to do that. Movies have to rework stories to fit within time constraints, games need to rework stories to fit within gameplay aspects. Both of them are made by a bunch of humans who, more than likely, don't have enough of an idea as to what the movie to game or game to movie has to be. Each person brings in their own ideas of what they think is cool, and when an individual is given authority, mistakes can be made easily....That and they haven't made any cool conversions, like Zelda, Metroid, or Metal Gear.

I believe they suck because they have a very fixed storyline to follow. However turning games to movies work the exact opposite.
