What are some movie-based licensed games that didn't just blindly follow the movie and had their own spin on the plot?
>>730750502The Madagascar game kicked ass. Probably the best movie tie in game
HIPPO HOP
oh man, i remember that. is this the one where your final battle against another lion/tiger in a pit with spikes? you could golf there, played as penguins, had water race with albino crocodilegoddamn I miss those times
>>730750502This was better than the actual movie.
>>730750502Toys for bob peaked here, fuck crash 4 and skylanders
This game is so fucking weird compared to the movie. Scrat fights a giant spider and at some point goes inside one of the giant ancient water niggas where he opens fleshy doorways by shooting out eyes.
>>730752993I still have no idea what were they thinking with Ice age sequels. 1st one had gravity, others were just slop.
>>730750502>mfw Gloria's ass on-screen whenever I get to play as her
>>730753215that filename got me good
>>730754038lol

>>730750502Cars video game and Ratatouille for the PSP take place after the movie
>>730750502The Over the Hedge game only adapts the ending of the movie, then follows up with a plot about the animals recovering all their (stolen) food and stuff, and fighting animals brainwashed by the verminator.
>>730752993In all honesty, Ice Age 2 in a nutshell is a fairly uneventful walk, so replacing it with Scrat shenanigans was a good idea.
ENTER
>>730752993you're just describing ocarina of time
>>730750502Fallout New Vegas
>>730750502The spongebob movie game's level where the one scene with green water when they first meet the cyclops. They invented an entire literal garbage level around it, which sounds bad, except the level was really good and I fucking love the premise. One of my top 10 levels in any game.
>>730750502Barnyard loosely follows the movie but it's in a bizarro universe where your character is part of the main cast.Also the game is way better than the movie.
>>730755240>The shooting gallery stagewas always my favorite level
>>730755232The Cars game is the true sequel to the first movie, not the Cars 2 movie should've been titled Mater's Tall Tale: The Movie instead

>>730750502Every Spider-Man movie games is always at least 50% original filled with other comic book villains that didn't appear in the movies.
>>730763446Spider-Man 3 by Treyarch is an utter clusterfuck. The movie already had problems with doing triple duty in giving enough screentime to the three villains, but the game has guys like Scorpion, Kingpin, Kraven who returns from the XBOX version of the Spider-Man 2002 game and a citywide gang war Spidey has to deal with. All of these villain plot threads are poorly tied together with plot elements from the movie.
>>730757623I think seeing this movie when I was like 4 gave me a fat fetish that ive never been able to get rid of.

>>730760502This game was pretty insane. I remember just spending hours hanging out in the world and riding around on the bike. They don't make games like this anymore that are fun purely just to exist in
>>730755240This was legitimately fun.
>>730756135Recently discovered this was based on a childrens book.
Make way for the best movie tie in beat em up after scott pilgrim
>>730764884AHHHHH I'M GONNA DIEIAMGONNADIE
>>730750502i vaguely remember playing this game and it being pretty fun
>>730755240The DS version is actually a direct sequel to the movie where the exterminator's brother is hired by Gladys after she gets out of prison. Since she also resumes her efforts to get rid of the last remaining patch of the forest, RJ has the idea to get endangered animals to move in, and the game has you go around stealing random things for them.
oh and a bugs life was a fuckin fever dreami miss these old super trippy n64 games
unrelated but a sesame street tie in, fuckin most liminal ass game
>>730760123i was gonna bring that game up but it does mainly follow it for the first half of the game alongside small differences like spongebob genociding the trench monsters instead of accidentally befriending them through song, that junkyard level's song and level is really good, it and bfbb were really good licensed games.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoiesBupiw0the PC version gets even more out there than the other versions too.
>>730750502Both NES Batman and Game Boy Batman feel very different from the film, especially the latter where he's short, fat and kills enemies with a gun, I love it.
>>730766524>liminalEmpty spaces aren't scary zoomer-kun
>>730769246i didnt say scary i said liminalplay the game youll see what i mean
>>730769045I should take a look at the PC version, I know it isn't another platformer but it is still interesting to see things like this, really not something you have anymore now that games aren't low budget enough to just shit out but sometimes have talented devs who care enough to make the game good. The trench level was actually my second favorite just because it was so fucking weird and ominous for a spongebob game, love the entire aura throughout the game. Fuck I think I'm gonna play it again soon. I did no move upgrades last time.
>>730760502Gta but coolerSo many coolass minigamesCreating a fucking rave barn with billiards and other minigames you bought by making butterFucking sickThe soundtrack was made by Squirrel Nut Zippers, it was a fucking blastInsane game. Bought it on gamecube a couple years ago for dirt cheap.
Don't die
I Liked the Grinch game
