Celebrity Tie In Video Games are kind of a lost art. We used to see famous people getting their own video games ALL THE TIME, but now not so much. Be it Britney Spears, 50 Cent, Dwayne the Rock Johnson or even more obscure ones, there's been licensed celebrity games rolling around since the 80s.
So uh. I kinda decided to go through as many as I could???

YO! 3 videos in a single month, I'm feeling CRAZY. I wanted to try something a little different this time around, and thought that famous celebrities with video games were a funny target. Let me know if I missed anything spicy!
Hope everyone's having a good day!
Austin
bruh what about quantum break with liam neeson?
I really like this topic. Good video
The only man going against hellofresh....
God help .....well them
Lol yall still got the bag hahahah
Yeah and thanks for the extra 4oz of some Austin ĝoodness right on budster👍😭
You missed the opportunity to title this video "Celebrity Video Games", a much more accurate (and clickable) title than "Celebrities in Video Games".
One of my favourite things about Blood On The Sand is that, apparently, a lot of the elements were added because 50 Cent asked his son what he’d want in a game and then they just added them.
I thought that was pretty funny but I actually do think it made the game more fun.
That the same son he was beefing with? Lol
Is 50 Cent's son named 25 Cent or Quarter...
Based
Matt McMuscles did an excellent What Happened video explaining all that!
Def Jam Fight For NY. A game that has a lot of rappers and some actors as well, and as of 2019, the community established their own competitive scene with Fight For NY showing up at CEO
KISS being more "mature and edgy" is hilarious given that they had a crossover movie with Scooby-Doo a few years ago. And it was a genuinely awesome movie too.
Well, Kiss is famously the most sellout band out there. They partnered with a group of idols in Japan to make some music. The music is fun tho.
Awesome until they chickened out on all the insanity. They should have kept going.
Also, the KISS game is 3d Gauntlet meets Quake with a taste of Metroid. You can run into a ton of enemies at once. And it has KISS music. Austin must have been speedrunning the first few levels, since it first appears early on, in a jukebox. (You know, that early 2000s thing that early 2000s gamers were gathering around when Limewire gave them a virus.)
They also did multiple Marvel comics and apparently mixed their own blood into the ink for the first comic
My 4 year old daughter loves the KISS Scooby-Doo movie 😂
@@theLikou1partnering with idols doesn’t make you a sellout lol what an odd example to include, and I don’t even disagree with them being sellouts
Back in the day it felt like Fred Durst was in every wrestling game
Look up Fred Durst's appearance in videogames, by Matt McMuscles. You will be nostalgically pleased
It was part of the deal he made to license his music.
It is odd that he was able to get into a WWE/WWF game yet ICP a few years prior had their music in the game and actually had matches in the WWF tag division were cut from WWF Attitude music still in the game but you have to create them I figured you should be able to unlock them
Yeah. I think he's also in that Fight Club game.
Didn't he get his own signature edition of the Dreamcast?
Man, how do you go through this entire video without even mentioning Def Jam, fight for NY? A fighting games consisting of almost entirely R&B and rap artists, and the main villain was Snoop Dogg! Legitimately one of the best fighting games of all time.
I'm still surprised we never got a fighting game with the same engine. Like obviously we'll never get a remaster due to the insane licensing costs it would require (if you still have a copy treasure it as they're fucking expensive to buy nowadays) but the engine was so god damn fun i thought for sure another game would come along with a similar feel and it just never did.
Those games were using the same engine as the WWE Smackdown games like here comes the pain shut your mouth and Smackdown Vs raw. So technically we did get a fighting game like that, just with a ring too
hell yeah!!! came to say this too lol, ffny was so underratedly good
My fav fighting game hell yeah
@@AlphaGamingClubOfficial they actually used the engine of the AKI WCW & WWF N64 wrestling games, not the Yukes Smackdown games. 🙂
Celebrity video games will forever an insanely bizarre yet fascinating part of gaming history.
ikr.
They ain't going nowhere anytime soon
Which is sad.
Get ready for crimeboss rockay city next month.
@@nehemiahpouncey3607they did go away and we need them to come back
Jet Li’s Rise to Honor deserves a mention. What a phenomenal gem on the PS2, slapping his name on there whilst making it a revolutionary take on the beat ‘em up genre. I personally think we wouldn’t have have the Arkham Game fighting system & new indie games like SIFU without this Rise to Honor. I could gush on it for hours.
We need a whole video on the Def Jam games. Every couple of months the Twitter account tries to bait followers by promising a remaster but Id rather have an Austin Eruption vid
I imagine licensing all that music is the biggest reason we don't see a rerelease.
I just want to say before I watch. Def Jam Fight for New York is bar none the best celebrity video game.
Facts i have had to mamy memeories
That's a weird way of saying 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand
Ghost Face Killah was my go-to on that game.
Easily.
Big facts
You're really putting out the content recently Austin.
Gotta do the work!
@@austineruption - you’ve truly been putting out some quality work my friend.
This is the content of all time.
@@razielmxzmy favourite gender
@@austineruptiondoing the lord's work I see
Brutal Legend genuinely had a shit ton of love put into it
The biggest problem is that it was an RTS game marketed as (and with a tutorial/story mode that mostly played as) a sort of _Zelda_ clone.
@@boobah5643 That demo made more harm than good. A lot of people got hyped because of that just to find out that the final game, exactly after that point, was nothing like it.
Yep Brutal Legend is awesome would love it if Double Fine returned to the land of heavy metal with Jack Black and company in tow, had a lot of fun playing the game on my PS3 back when I actually played the darn thing.
@@boobah5643 I was expecting a God of War clone. Huge dissapointment
yeah it was great.
*AHEM* WHERE IS SPICE WORLD?
You missed a classic PS1 game here... and.. Yes... I actually had it growing up. I can't even blame it on Sisters as an only child...
This era was my idealized version of coolness.
I still consider the video game period between the early 90s to the mid-2000s to be the best.
Between the first two PlayStations, everything by Nintendo, Sega and the original Xbox it was just one of the greatest times to be alive ever.
As a side note entry, Kiss has an entire level in Tony Hawk's Underground, called Hotter Than Hell; you can also skate as Gene Simmon
I think we need a new Britney game, especially now that she's free from that conservatorship. Toxic and that time Justice did a remix of one of her tracks will make it a worthwhile sequel.
As long as we get prime Britney in that sparkling dress
@jay bee No. You get Modern Britney, with the Manson Lamps and Mental instability.
The game is just choosing which parital nude to post on Instagram, and something like Clue.. but it's "can you figure out your new husband is using you?"
She’s over the hill now, though.
Instead of a music game, how about Britney: Escape from Dad?
I dunno if it counts and it's probably been commented into the ground, but Def Jam Fight for NY is such a banger. After watching the Best Friends play it I dropped like 80 bucks on a physical copy that I later learned was NTSC, so I couldn't even run it. This was before I had any income, and I had no idea about emulation back then, so it was a huge bummer. But I kept the copy in the hopes that one day I'd get the chance to play it - even now I have it on my shelf, having now beaten the game like 3 times on emulator.
Also, I still vividly remember playing 50 Cent Bulletproof with my cousins. I think that was the first shooter I ever played, and I didn't know what a 50 cent was, but it was still a blast. Good times.
I remember a friend of my brother lent it to him and I beat it without knowing who any of the rappers were. I tried to get it for myself after my brother returned it but no one knew wtf I was talking about. It was like the game never existed.
I thought nobody else noticed he missed one of the biggest series that I know a bunch of people played in the early 2000's. In the Army multiple guys had copies of Vendetta and fight for NY. They would have it thumping too because the soundtrack still bangs. It's a good list but without Def Jam it isn't really complete.
Honestly, my measure of "making it" as a celebrity is to have a GOOD game about you
Jet Li's Rise To Honour is still super dope
A Bruce Lee game now would be incredible. A blend of Sifu and Sleeping dogs would be my preferred style.
one day one day...
"Yo Fifty, jump over that big-ass ramp!" and "That bitch took my skull" are two lines from Blood on the Sand that instantly put me in a good mood.
I enjoyed Michael Jordan: Chaos in the Windy City quite a bit, actually, the levels featured a lot of exploration and you had to be on the lookout for health upgrades, since those were not only permanent, but would also come really in handy in later levels, which featured trickier platforming and a lot of enemies.
Outside of the goofy-looking enemy sprites, I liked the background art a lot, there were some really cool atmospheric touches like fog and heat ripple effects and last but not least, the various B-Ball types were fun to play around with.
Is Chaos in the Windy City canon to Shut Up and Jam Gaiden
I loved that game as a kid even though I sucked at it. I figured out a cheat all on my own for it, I think it was like 246813579MJ or something and you'd get all the different balls.
Anybody remember rapjam vol 1?
It had queen latifa,onyx etc.
The Chronicles of Riddick games were just. Amazing.
I'm not surprised the devs would go on to do Wolfenstein: the New Order.
Surprised you didn't cover the Def Jam fighting games, those were pretty fun from my memory
Forgetting Kung Fu for NES for Jackie Chan.
Britney dance beat is hilarious now. K fed was a backup dancer. That's all I'm going to say.
One celebrity tie in that just lives rent free in my head is the katy perry sims 3 crossover. That shit was wild and honestly pretty cool. Really made you realize how big sims had gotten
I remember there was this arcade game I was playing with Aerosmith?
The game was kind of fun but a weird concept!
The only Guitar Hero game I ever owned was the Aerosmith Guitar Hero on PS2, and Steven Tyler's character model still haunts my nightmares
It's called Revolution x.
@@SpeedsterBlur
That’s the game!
Yeah it was very fun!
I also know that dead or alive 2 ultimate 3 and 4 had Aerosmith music!
They had two games.
The Beatles had one and Metallica.
20:23 I hate that I actually recognize those games you just show for throwaway just because of that green button
Jackie Chan Stuntmaster is honestly amazing. One of the best beat'em ups I've ever played
Blood on the Sand is art and I love it.
Brutal Legend is amazing and desperately needs a sequel.
I had Apocalypse with Bruce Willis on ps1 as a kid and from what I can remember I enjoyed it heh. I know it had an unusual shooting system where each of the face buttons fired in a different direction so it almost felt like an early twin stick shooter.
A lot of weapons👌
I played the crap out of that game don't even remember where I got it from but the but scenes blew me away at the time I looked for years for the film it was based off lol
Happy to see this mentioned! It was really good.
The same day that Matt McMuscles does a What Happened video on Simpsons Wrestling, made by the same developer as Celebrity Death Match.
Coincidence?
Yeah, probably.
Kinda shocked you didn't play and talk about Def Jam Vendetta and FFNY in the video! Great video as always Austin, now good luck fighting DMX and Snoop.
Also ffny and icon.
Not to mention rapstar.
Don’t tell me you forgot about Fred Durst in Fight Club (I think). ?
That Steven Spieldberg clip was gold
Surprised you didn't bring up Keith David playing himself as a major character in Saints Row IV
That's not a celebrity game that's a celebrity IN A game. Everyone in the comments seems to have missed that even though he explains it in the video. You could literally talk about GTA VICE CITY if you want to talk about celebrities IN A game but the game itself is not BASED on those celebrities.
Austin dropping that 90s web ring deep cut. Respect.
I hope there's The Nomad Souls from David bowie, because somehow that game looks cool llmfao
Celebrity Sports Showdown?! I'm adding this to my Homebrewed Wii ASAP!
Bruce Lee by Datasoft was QUITE well received back in the 80s. In fact, there are two fan-made sequels to it, both playable on the Commodore 64, just like the original game. It's also one of the earliest examples of a co-op game as a second player could take control of the green character. Sure, they could also attack the player, but many used it to help the player, both going through the various screens of the game.
The online multi-player in the 50cent game was peak entertainment back then
celebrity deathmatch is the single best fighting video game in existence.
I remember watching my brother play Jackie Chan Stunt Master and thinking it was the best looking video game I’d ever seen 😂
I was hoping you'd cover Bujingai in here, a PS2 action game starring Gackt, a famous Japanese musician. Gackt also was in Crisis Core FF7, as Genesis.
I visit Chicago occasionally to see family, and can confirm that Michael Jordan's Chaos in the Windy City is an accurate depiction of what it's like there
seagal's first 5 flicks are pretty dope though lol
Out for Justice is a masterpiece of comedy and I won't hear otherwise.
“We paid for Dwayne; you’re getting the Johnson, baby”
This had me giggling and kicking my legs in the air
Radiohead made a free to play game recently.
The fmv part reminded me of the spoony one. Miss that guy 😔
Tap tap revenge was the complete and only reason I purchased the first iPhone.
I think I was like 14, playing tap tap revenge while waiting for loading screens to play bioshock 2 multiplayer, while also messaging some cute scene/emo girl and eating “smoothie skittles” was legit peak existence for me.
God I remember that night so well
Didn't expect to hear about KISS Psycho Cirrus Nightmare Child (what a mouthful title)
Best Vin Diesel game is still Chronicles of Riddick Butcher bay (Assault on Dark Athena was meh, and changes to BB too)
I know it was just a Typo of you but "Psycho Cirrus" genuinely seems like a name for a cloud-themed Yu-Gi-Oh Monster.
50 Cent: Blood in the Sand getting low sales when it was clearly the better game is a crime in itself. -Jon.
There was a game my mom used to play called Omar Sharif Bridge.
It was bridge the card game, but Omar had one line introducing the game whenever you booted it up XD
Comment for the algorithm, a great vid, and the Acclaimed reference ✂️✂️✂️✂️
Wheels on Meals still has one of the best choreographed fight scenes ever to this day at the end with Jackie and Benny "The Jets" final fight one on one. The scene is tons of fun, the fight great and the hits look so good and real. Watch it, its amazing! I feel like it never gets mentioned in martial arts videos at all.
Celebrity Deathmatch was awesome, never did play the game though.
Note, Sabrina Salerno is an Italian singer that became famous in the 80s with Italo-disco and electro-pop hits, as well as her curvaceous figure.
Yep. She was a hottie.
I feel like you could just do a video on Jack Black only games, Brutal Legend, Jumanji the Game, Tony Hawk 1&2 where he's Officer Dick, and there are probably others out there.
Pis-Co-Po... interesting! Cute!
That guy's son is an annoying UA-camr
listen
I got nothing
"The Ancient Chinese Method
Of Gun🔫?" 😂 Goes To Show
Just How Tough Segal RLY IS!!
I didn’t know psycho circus was a dream cast exclusive. I own it, I’ve beaten it on a dreamcast when I was in high school.
The game shown at 20:26 is not a dating sim starting Vin Diesel... Is a flash porn game that used his likeness for its main character.
Bruh! Celebrity Deathmatch is one of the best things MTV ever put out. The show, not the game obviously
That control layout for Psycho Circus sounds pretty alright. I grew up playing Quake II on the N64.
Jackie Chan is one of my favorite actors because no matter what role he takes he seems so passionate about them and eager to play those roles and he seems like an all around authentic guy
I remember seeing a video on Matt McMuscles channel where 50Cent Blood was originally an ordinary MW knockoff that somehow got recycled into Blood on the sand because, 50 said he would become an intergral part of the game. So they said "Great 50Cent is on board, Let's finish this."
Would you count Def Jam Vendetta as a celebrity game?
He definitely should. I can’t think of any other game featuring so many celebrities and it has great music and all the games in the series are awesome except icon
I mean Def Jam is (or was?) a record label, so yeah it definitely counts.
I have lots of fond, 90s-tinted memories of playing the Myst-like PC adventure/fmv game featuring the band Queensryche. My dad took me to a meet and greet at the local Incredible Universe store they did to promote their new album, and all I cared about was the free video game.
What i love about the Jackie Chan fighting game is that he is a char 3 times, and iirc, the 3 are busted 😂
Jackie Chan stuntmaster letsgooo. Loved that game as a kid, platforming was really hard tho
Impressed you threw a Young Bucks joke in! Their Superkick Party is much more fun than Chuck Norris on the 2600.
holy shit, a mention of the starsky and hutch PS2 game
the greatest sequel to lucky and wild with the option to have a p2 use the light gun and have someone on the racing wheel.
Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn was more fun than it should have been. I have a great memory of that being the first game we played of a HUGE stack of dirt cheap games we ordered from Gamestop during the Lockdown. And it was worth every penny.
DUDE! JAckie Chan's Adventure's was my ish when i was a kid one of my all time fav shows.
God this brought back so much nostalgia 😂 I was obsessed with 50 Cent - Bulletproof when I was 7. That and State of Emergency, if anyone remembers that crazy ass game!
man i love your videos. always a good watch with plenty of laughs. thanks man
I don't like being the "Ackchtually" guy, but Psycho Circus does have at least ONE Kiss song in it. Rock n Roll All Nite plays at some point when a horde of monsters attacks your character. I think that's the only time though. I can't remember if I actually beat that game back in the day or not. I do know if you put the disc (Dreamcast, not sure if the PC version worked) in a regular CD player, it had like 3 of their most popular songs on it. Kinda weird.
Wheelman was unironically one of my favorite games I had for the 360
Random childhood memory - KISS appear in Tony Hawk's Underground, you unlock this at the end of the game. Such a random inclusion having a skatepark with KISS virtually rocking out on a stage in it!
20:27 lmaooo diesel from meet and f. game
Why is this the way I finally learn that the show I found weird reruns on as a child was Takeshis Castle
The Stephen Spielberg, "konichiwa" clip had me rolling...
Lolol. The way u describe Kiss is so funny and on the nose. Also love ur channel, found a new channel to binge
Def jam battle for ny in my opinion is the greatest celebrity video game ever just the nostalgia and the sheer amount of rappers we got on that was crazy
"Stuntmaster Remaster" is a golden marketing opportunity tho tbh
FMV Jonathan Frakes doing that tongue thing is legitimately the scariest fucking thing I’ve ever seen
*Wheelman demo is one of the best demos I've ever played* 🙌
Oh man, seeing Tap Tap Revenge was so nostalgic!
I also remember that Nickelback got their own Tap Tap Revenge app. Don't ask why I know that...
Wu tang clan had their own video game as well
Thomas Jane did the voice in the toiletry praise of his role as The punisher in The punisher, and that game kicked majer ass
31:45 bro really said "according to my research 🤓" in real life 😭😭💀
The way you said Piscopo is insane
SHAQ FU IS PROBABLY THEE BEST CELEBRITY FOCUSED VIDEO GAME!! From the hidden songs with Shaq rapping if you pop the disc in a cd player. But also it was so fun to have something like Mortal Kombat to play as a super young kid who was the annoying younger brother who wanted to play video games too.
When I think of celebrity games what instantly pops into my head is that god awful Katy Perry Sims 3 expansion packs (Katy Perry Showtime and Katy Perry Sweet Treats). Now Katy Perry's Last Friday Night can sing while my sims starve to death in a room full of giant candy because Katy Perry likes candy I guess
4:17 interesting story about the actor playing the GB. He made a film that nearly put him in the poorhouse. Instead of renting equipment he purchased everything. Also pretty sure he created all the special effects as well. It was a horror film that he literally dreamt up. Took him over 10 years to make.
For the life of me I can't remember the name of the movie.
16:07
Damn, that's sad now... Rest in peace, Matthew.
Honestly its pretty easy to get a friend to coop in Blood on the Sand is only bc of the licensing itself. I mean think about it: If it was a third person shooter with a made up rapper, it wouldnt be really interesting to play through, but having 50 Cent and the G Unit is a huge plus in my books
GD 💕 the Acclaimed reference 🤩
Did you put the Def Jam games in there? I caught the Wu Tang game, but I didn't see DJ Vendetta which was awesome.
