today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 movies that should have made
great games for more gaming videos check
out our new spin-off channel mojo plays
for in-depth reviews thoughtful video
essays detailed character origins and
insightful commentary mojo plays games
smarter for this list we’re looking at
movies with tie-in games that failed to
live up to expectations created by their
film counterparts to be clear we’re not
saying that all of these games are
necessarily bad only that when compared
to their source material they leave a
lot to be desired
number 10 The Incredibles this Pixar
giant took the world by storm thanks to
its family-friendly take on the
superhero genre the action-adventure
beat him up of the same name ie not so
much
while it did sell well a lack of
originality in gameplay and level design
stopped it from having any staying power
it didn’t help that the game didn’t
feature any multiplayer options even
though each family member has unique
power sets while its sequel rise of the
Underminer did have multiplayer you
could only play as mr. incredible and
Frozone perhaps with the release of a
sequel film we’ll be able to get a game
worthy of this picks our favorite we can
only hope number 9 the Fifth Element
a cult classic today this film was a
pretty big hit when it debuted in the
1990s it’s a shame then that it only
received one video game adaptation that
has since faded from most people’s
memories or maybe not seeing how badly
received the PlayStation version was it
lacked any of the aspects that made the
film so delightfully charming leaving
many critics without anything positive
to say it could have featured some fun
third-person shooting and action
adventuring but instead was highlighted
by awkward controls poor level design
and an annoyingly sticky camera number
eight How to Train Your Dragon 2 you see
that while the first film in the
franchise also got a video game
adaptation
it was the second film that could have
made for a more enriching game
experience due to its higher focus on
action and more mature themes
unfortunately what we got was an
underwhelming collection of flying
mini-games while you can choose from an
assortment of flyers and Dragons the
game offers little else in terms of
variety the minigames can be kind of fun
for a bit but there’s no story mode to
be found and playing through some of the
action sequences in the film such as the
climactic fight against Drago could have
been truly breathtaking if done right
number 7 X 2 and X Men last stand I knew
I smelled something rotten as probably a
breath while it’s true that there have
been successful video games featuring
the x-men none of them have really
focused on the film versions of the team
that is except for our 2006 s x-men the
official game a tie-in for the second
and third film in the franchise players
got to play as Wolverine Iceman and
Nightcrawler with other team members
popping up in cameos to get the part
not only was there a lack of characters
but the game was also seen as a generic
beat him up due to its repetitive
gameplay and poor enemy AI with the
expanded roster the film series has
given us we definitely think this one
needs to be revisited it looks like he
can take care of yourself number six
Terminator 2 Judgment Day as one of the
greatest action movies ever made you
would think that it would have produced
a pretty great game right well you’d be
mistaken buddy there were multiple
versions of this tie-in released on
consoles such as the NES SNES and even
Commodore 64 while there was an arcade
version of the game met did well the
Nintendo versions in particular suffered
due to their poor graphics and confusing
gameplay many critics also criticized
the game for having unnecessarily tough
enemies making the t800
look like kind of a wimp in an era of
wonderful side-scrolling action
adventure games this one unfortunately
failed to reach the heights of his
cinematic counterpart number 5 Pacific
Rim
with a plot that sounds like a video
game already this digital download
tie-in was a no-brainer and should have
made for a successful fighting game
while it was praised for its
faithfulness to the source material yeah
they actually fight what else is there
to do the game was still bogged down by
bland environments tedious gameplay and
real clunky controls it was almost
universally criticized for feeling
rushed
just to cash in on the popularity of the
film it even featured Eden game
purchases for stat upgrades to your
fighters but who would want those many
of the fights in the film can only be
defined as epic so it’s kind of a shame
that we never got that same feeling in a
game number 4 avatar being one of the
most popular movies of the 21st century
it was no surprise that James Cameron’s
Avatar received a video game tie-in and
depending on which version you look at
the reception was kind of lukewarm at
best some of the highlights of the film
were its flying
and action sequences and being able to
explore the vast world of Pandora could
have been a treat to gamers everywhere
but outside of being able to choose to
side with the Navi or the humans
especially within the leveling up
process bad camera work and weed combat
also stopped it from being more than
just your average time number 3 The
Matrix franchise
this groundbreaking sci-fi classic has
given fans a couple of games though none
of them have quite lived up to the
expectations of the original film 2003
Enter the Matrix tied in story elements
from the second and third films though
players could only play us through
supporting characters critics noted that
it felt rushed and the control system
couldn’t match up with the fight
choreography of the movies players were
allowed to play through Neos storyline
in the matrix path of deal but that game
also failed to set itself apart from
other games in the genre there was also
the MMORPG but that had little to do
with the franchise storyline anyway
number 2 iron man when the first film in
the MCU came out it crushed all
expectations and is still considered to
be one of the best in the entire
franchise so it’s pretty disappointing
that its tie-in video game rightly
received low scores across the board
training programs this is real the
cutscenes look and sound terrible
the gameplay is frustratingly repetitive
and the enemies can be kind of
overwhelming even with the ability to
customize the weapons on your suit the
game does little else to entice players
to stick around
gaun is all of the charm that made the
film such a hit and all that people are
left with is a wearisome mess
number one aliens although konami
published a well-received arcade shooter
based on this side by juggernaut in the
1990s this film is on the list for an
altogether different game 2013’s
aliens colonial marines the hype was
pretty darn high for this one as it was
considered canon to James Cameron’s film
taking place several months after but
that type was absolutely destroyed when
the final version came out the story
actually had several continuity errors
and the already unbalanced gameplay
suffered from bugs bad AI and
unimpressive graphics aliens is a tense
and brilliant blend of action and horror
and colonial Marines is none of those
things do you agree with our picks check
