The Warriors is one of the best movie to game adaptations, a great beat em up from a 70's cult classic film, taking the plot of the film and fleshing out the story behind the titular gang as well as events leading into the start of the film. It controls great, captures the vibe and tone of the source material, and is absolutely a gem hidden in Rockstars library of classics. I still have my PS2 copy and will never part with it.
The Godfather is my personal favorite. It might be a GTA clone but I actually prefer it to the PS2 GTAs. I know you can do a lot less stuff in it but the gunplay is better, the story is good and the clothing options are super classy. Plus, I really like that they let you create your character from scratch!
You start out by saying that to qualify for the list a movie must follow the plot of a movie, but then go on to talk about Enter the Matrix, which has a completely unique plot from any of the Matrix movies. What's the deal? Yes it's canon to the movies, but it doesn't follow the plot of any of the movies. Ghostbusters: The Videogame is the same, and yet you disqualify that.
I think it's also insane because he clearly states that it can be a 'companion piece', and Ghostbusters: The Videogame completely fits into this. Ghostbusters: Afterlife even acknowledges its existence!
Enter the Matrix ties directly into the plot of The Matrix Reloaded, but shown from the perspective of two side characters. It's more like The Godfather game than Ghostbusters, which is canon but does not intersect directly with any of the movies.
What I like most about your top ten list is that it’s your top ten list. It’s not the most popular or most known. It’s just your opinion and sometimes it seems people ether won’t do that or feel they need to justify their opinion.
Scarface: The World Is Yours was awesome. Like an alternate ending to the movie. What if Tony Montana survived the raid on his house and rebuild his empire
I have to throw my love of ANY of the LEGO games done by Traveler's Tales The Harry Potter Franchise, the Avengers, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, it feels like games done by real fans of the movies done about them.
Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith is a great one. The combat was a lot of fun, especially with boss fights. And although it didn't amount to much, it was cool having the alternate ending where Anakin kills Obi Wan.
The DS version of Episode 3 was also good. Going from an action game to a side scroller beat-em-up in the same vein as streets of rage or The Simpsons arcade game.
Wolverine Origins is one of my absolute favorites. Easily the best thing that came out of Wolverine Origins movie (although I don’t think it was the worst movie aside from a few things, obviously the Deadpool portrayal)
The Goldeneye remake went even harder and then the Hulk 2003 game went harder than it had any right to. Also, the Genesis Jurassic Park games were so good.
@9:00 My FAVORITE part of that Spiderman game was the bowling alley. They got Bruce Campbell to do the PA announcer and some of his lines were absolutely hilarious.
Spider-Man 2 the game was the GOAT for me! Still blows my mind that the devs made a world that massive with so many nooks & crannies AND barely any load screens. Legend.
Godfather is definitely an underrated gem. I wish it was available on modern consoles because it was more fun to me than GTA. Unfortunately, I'm sure it is in license heck.
It's definitely a niche market and demand that doesn't exist anymore. I remember Star Wars Phantom Menace having about a dozen games during it's release.
The Mummy wasn't complete trash. It was the best of its tired, played-out genre. Not sure why people didn't like it, but like other movies that are exactly like it (Superhero, generic action, etc.), that's just inconceivable to me
I'm not sure if this counts but Scarface is a fantastic game. If you were a fan of GTA and you seemed to like The Godfather, I would definitely recommend it for you. I wasn't a big GTA fan but I had a blast with Scarface. The game acts more like a sequel..ish. Watch the movie first, then play the game. It acts more of a "What If" the ending was just a little different. You essentially have Tony Montana rebuild his empire.
It's funny how the Wolverine game was way better than the movie, but hey it was metal (pun very intended) 😂 I do hope they'll make a new one where they cover all the wars Logan has been in from Civil War to the jungles in Nam
Ratchet & Clank 2016 actually just got a surprise update on PS5 that gives it a 60 fps mode! I'm super excited about that. I was okay with the 30 fps, but 60 fps I think is just... ahhh.
While not the best, the Harry Potter games where a big part of my childhood, specialy the pc versions of the first three. And while the focus more on the books, they where released alongside the movies and hit the same plot points, so yeah, I think they fit in this category, specially since you would be pretty lost if you didn't read the books or watched the films, making them more of a companion piece than a game adaptation.
I was hoping to see Lord of the Rings: The Third Age on this list. It might not be a direct tie in, the party follows in the footsteps of the fellowship, and the game uses live action clips from the movies.
@@joshuabean7805 True, if only by a couple days. Its development was parallel to the film and had input from the film's director, Edgar Wright (one of the greatest directors of all time). I would call it a film tie-in, but it could certainly be open to interpretation.
@@NordicAndNerdyIt's like X-Men Wolverine's Revenge. Both have elements that are inspired by the films but their plots and overall tone is more like the source material
When I saw the title of this vid my first thought was... "Mummy De-Mastered" Good choice! But Ratchet and Clank is NOT a movie tie-in anymore than Mario Bros is... I take umbrage...UMBRAGE I tell you!
I liked Home Alone on the Sega Genesis. It was kind of open world, allowing you to choose which homes to booby trap first, albeit as long as you were aware of which homes Harvey and Marv were hitting first
I put so many hours into The Godfather on PS2, trying to see how quickly I could complete the game. I think I had it down to 18 hours and 50 minutes. Super fun game.
Reservoir Dogs the game is pretty fun, at least to someone who loves the movie, it is to see things that were included in the film. And Superman Returns is probably the best superman game, we need a new one of those stat.
Transformers: Autobots/Decepticons on the DS. Yes, I said the DS. They're games where you could play as any of the Autobots or Decepticons that were in the movie, based on which version you got, in a GTA-style open sandbox world. Again, ON THE DS! The Autobots version basically retold the movie as it was without any involvement with the humans, and the Decepticons version gave us far better characterizations of the villains than the movie i.e. Frank Welker plays Megatron, and Starscream gets to be the backstabber we all know. Best of all, and this is something that I have yet to see any console Transformer game do, you can play as your own unique Autobot or Decepticon in the main campaign!
yeah, Godfather was amazingly good. I came to it not having seen the movie yet and I was impressed. Was crazy impressed a dying BRANDO recorded lines for it, even though they were deemed good enough to get included!!
There's a sequel to nightmare before Christmas videogame that has good combat, original songs and rhythm based sections. It's called oogies revenge or something like that
Lego The Incredibles is a pretty good adaptation of the second and first movies. Plus when not playing through the movie missions you can go and take on new villains created just for the game.
Though technically an extended special, I have to give a mention to SpongeBob Atlantis SquarePantis for the DS. It was a competent 3D platformer which expanded on the empty space between bikini bottom and Atlantis, and stands out compared to the console version
I don't hear it get brought up a lot but Ghost Rider is probably my favorite game based on a movie. tbh not sure if i can call it a movie tie-in since the plots are connected but not 1 to 1. but they did come out within 3 days of each other, so take that as you will. Still, DMC/God of War-esque hack and slash combat, fun motorcycle sequences and a grisly art style? cool as hell
As far as I'm concerned The Terminator franchise is a Trilogy (and a half, if you count the T2 Ride) but the true canonical trilogy is: The Terminator Terminator 2: Judgement Day (and T2-3D: Battle Across Time) Terminator Resistance (Enhanced, and Annihilation Line) Everything.... E V E R Y T H I N G else from 3 - Dark Fate is a fever dream of potential fates Kyle Reese hallucinates while time traveling....

How dare you not mention Peter Jackson's King Kong. That game actually innovated the entire gaming industry and still holds up!
But King Kong tho.

Peter Jackson king Kong the game is way better than it has any right to be. Such a good game
I noticed that more people talk about the Goldeneye game than the movie.
I really love that captain America movie game it's so underrated
Master System Aladdin is super underrated. Kept the story intact almost perfectly.
Do the Lego games count? Lego Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter?
But also The Warriors. That movie is really good and so is the game.
You start out by saying that to qualify for the list a movie must follow the plot of a movie, but then go on to talk about Enter the Matrix, which has a completely unique plot from any of the Matrix movies. What's the deal?
Yes it's canon to the movies, but it doesn't follow the plot of any of the movies. Ghostbusters: The Videogame is the same, and yet you disqualify that.
Didn't it lead into the Matrix Revelations? 🤔 While stretching the definition it could be considered the opening act maybe
its happening concurrent with the second movie
I think it's also insane because he clearly states that it can be a 'companion piece', and Ghostbusters: The Videogame completely fits into this. Ghostbusters: Afterlife even acknowledges its existence!
Enter the Matrix ties directly into the plot of The Matrix Reloaded, but shown from the perspective of two side characters. It's more like The Godfather game than Ghostbusters, which is canon but does not intersect directly with any of the movies.
Becasue it's obvious the quality pf the videos has declined greatly
A few of my favorites are: A Bug's Life PS1, SpongeBob SquarePants Movie game, Monsters Inc. PS1, and Toy Story 2 PS1.
Super Mario Bros. 3 was such a great tie-in game from The Wizard. :)
Still I dont play TMNT for NES without remembering The Wizard.
This man picks Enter the Matrix when The Matrix: Path of Neo exists and is a much better game...
He literally mentions wanting to play as Neo... I don't think he knows that Path of Neo even exists lol
Path of Neo doesn't directly tie into a movie like Enter does

Hook is unironically in my top 3 Spielberg films.
It’s called X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Uncaged Edition)
I really liked Enter the Matrix, it was cool getting another story happening at the same time as the movies
I preferred Path of Neo personally
I wish you still made videos
King Kong 2005 is sorely missed
I know right?
Where is Cars the Videogame?
how is king kong not on the list

You need a commenters edition! Chronicles of Narnia and King Kong game please!!!
The Warriors was the best movie tie in IMO
Severely underrated
Recently replayed it on the PS4 and it aged like wine, it still holds up
in in my opinion, do you have brain damage?
@@DPhoenixMMA Well, do you?
Ratchet & Clank 2016 actually just got a surprise update on PS5 that gives it a 60 fps mode! I'm super excited about that. I was okay with the 30 fps, but 60 fps I think is just... ahhh.
And both versions got updated to include the Bouncer for FREE 🎉
Does that count? 2016 is a remake of the original and the movie doesn't follow that game at all, it just came out alongside it.
Best part about Enter The Matrix is that it's 100% canon to the films
Ok, I haven't watched the whole vid yet, but for real if Goldeneye isn't here, I'll rage.
Say what you want about the films but Transformers Dark of the Moon had a great game which was a prequel to the movie.
While not the best, the Harry Potter games where a big part of my childhood, specialy the pc versions of the first three. And while the focus more on the books, they where released alongside the movies and hit the same plot points, so yeah, I think they fit in this category, specially since you would be pretty lost if you didn't read the books or watched the films, making them more of a companion piece than a game adaptation.
The PS1 HP games were a ton of fun too! The first one is my favorite.
I was hoping to see Lord of the Rings: The Third Age on this list. It might not be a direct tie in, the party follows in the footsteps of the fellowship, and the game uses live action clips from the movies.
@6:00 Did you ever play The Third Age? Aka FFX: Middle Earth Addition?
The Father (2020) should've gotten a movie tie in game.
Not sure if I agree with the list, but this is a great topic for conversation at least, and I think a lot of the choices were respectable.
I'm shocked Scott Pilgrim vs. The World The Game isn't Jirard's number one! But maybe that counts as a comic book game instead? Hard to say.
Pretty sure the game came out before the movie.
@@joshuabean7805 True, if only by a couple days. Its development was parallel to the film and had input from the film's director, Edgar Wright (one of the greatest directors of all time). I would call it a film tie-in, but it could certainly be open to interpretation.
@joshuabean7805 it launched the same week. It was meant to capitalize on the movie hype. Not the comic as much.
@@NordicAndNerdyIt's like X-Men Wolverine's Revenge. Both have elements that are inspired by the films but their plots and overall tone is more like the source material
spider-man 2 was an absolute banger. i also really loved toy story 2: buzz lightyear to the rescue.
Real mfs know bout Toy Story 3 tie-in game
0:17 Sunset Boulevard there, right?
Mr.Demille, I’m ready for my close up!
Hopefully the next Top 10 is the worst tie in games.
Where is Chronicles of Riddick??? 😭😭😭
Ooooh yeah I've heard of that game, never seen it fully but the movies where great
Was escape from butcher bay based on one of the movies or was it its own story? Cause that might explain it.
Are those good?
Great game.
@@Pasthorrorgames Donated
Idk man, I really like that Mario guy's game base off his movie
Me too, great choice
When I saw the title of this vid my first thought was... "Mummy De-Mastered" Good choice!
But Ratchet and Clank is NOT a movie tie-in anymore than Mario Bros is...
I take umbrage...UMBRAGE I tell you!
RARE really was the king back then.
How can you logically put a demake game on the list.
Ratatouille on PSP is underrated
I played the Gamecube version, but I remember really liking it a lot as well.
I liked Home Alone on the Sega Genesis. It was kind of open world, allowing you to choose which homes to booby trap first, albeit as long as you were aware of which homes Harvey and Marv were hitting first
I miss Movie Tie-In Games. My favorite one was a tie between Cars 2 & Madagascar the game.
The original Ratchet & Clank is far superior to it's Movie Tie-In Remake.
I put so many hours into The Godfather on PS2, trying to see how quickly I could complete the game. I think I had it down to 18 hours and 50 minutes. Super fun game.
Reservoir Dogs the game is pretty fun, at least to someone who loves the movie, it is to see things that were included in the film. And Superman Returns is probably the best superman game, we need a new one of those stat.
Basic list. I could do better
I'm ready to see it! ❤
I grew up with the TMNT 2007 tie-in game for the pc/Xbox360 and I loved it as much as the movie. Even if it was a little hard for me at the time lol.

At best, movie tie games expand the enjoyment of some property. At worst, it can sour or even ruin my enjoyment.
Movie to game, and vice versa is risky business, but there are definitely some amazing worlds to explore in.
I grew up on Hook. It's awesome to see somebody recognize the game for it's awesomeness.
Lego The Incredibles is a pretty good adaptation of the second and first movies. Plus when not playing through the movie missions you can go and take on new villains created just for the game.
Though technically an extended special, I have to give a mention to SpongeBob Atlantis SquarePantis for the DS. It was a competent 3D platformer which expanded on the empty space between bikini bottom and Atlantis, and stands out compared to the console version
WOAH NELLY! where’s King Kong bruh?!
One of my relatives was one of the screenwriters on Hook! I believe her main contributions were Dustin Hoffman's lines as Captain Hook.
Please share with them that that movie is one of my favorite movies of all time. :D
What the hell. I never would’ve known Dustin Hoffman played hook

The Cars game was one of my favorite games when it came out. Still a top tier movie tie in game
Ratchet & Clank 2016 isn't a movie tie-in. It's a remake of the first game in the series
Im REALLY surprised the super star wars triogy wasnt on here. They were all really fun to play
I didn't play a lot of tie in games, but I'd say the SpongeBob movie game was fun.
As far as I'm concerned The Terminator franchise is a Trilogy (and a half, if you count the T2 Ride) but the true canonical trilogy is:
The Terminator
Terminator 2: Judgement Day (and T2-3D: Battle Across Time)
Terminator Resistance (Enhanced, and Annihilation Line)
Everything....
E V E R Y T H I N G else from 3 - Dark Fate is a fever dream of potential fates Kyle Reese hallucinates while time traveling....
