There are actually several decent movie tie ins that are not that bad, mainly for the PS2. So, what are your personal favorite movie tie in games?

I enjoyed playing through Green Lantern with a friend, its very short but it plays like a Co-op God of War. it makes a pretty fun weekend rental.
The wolverine: Origins one was pretty fun too, I remember hating Wolverines Revenge for Gamecube though, even as a nipper I knew it was shit.

Rockstar's The Warriors and Volition's The Punisher are probably the only two decent film licensed games I've played.
Their saving grace (apart from being made by great development studios) could be the fact that they're tenuously linked to their respective movies and not a cash-grab tie-in, with The Warriors being based on an old cult classic and The Punisher being just as much based on the comic books rather than strictly based on the film.
Both games seem great because the developer wanted to make good games based on those characters and stories, not because the studio decreed that a game, any game, be made to coincide with the films.

The Thing.
I would go so far as to say it's one of the last gen's best survival horror games.
And I heard the Wanted game was pretty decent but that it was way too short. Like 3 hours long.

Spiderman 2. It was so much fun swinging around New York, flying through the air, beating up gangs and latching onto helicopters. It made me feel like a superhero, at least better than most superhero games do anyways. I gave up on movie games a long time ago unless one gets stellar reviews and praise across the board and even then I'm skeptical.
Spiderman 2, hands down. It had everything one could want in a game, and only took small parts from the movies.
Spider-man 2.
Here we have a game that actually tries to put you into the shoes of the superhero. You're not just pressing buttons to make Batman do cool flips and karate, you're actually busting up regular crooks and villains on the street.
If only Arkham City had tried to do that.

I'm gonna have to jump on board with a lot of other people here and say that Spider Man 2 was probably the best game adaptation of a movie, but my favorite at the moment (though far from the best) is Tron Evolution. It could just be a guilty pleasure, but I'm also a giant Tron fan and was able to look past the lackluster gameplay.
I dunno what gives you the idea they're clustered on the PS2- I've never found that to be the case.
Outside that, I hear The Warriors and Butcher Bay are also excellent, as is King Kong and Toy Story 3.
This, except for the aged poorly thing. It's every bit as fun to play now as it was in 1997, and that's not nostalgia, it's solid game design.krazykidd said:

Nightfire (if it counts), Spiderman 2, Goldeneye, Toy Story 2 and King Kong were all pretty solid
Aye that be true.Soviet Heavy said:
And Spider-Man 2, best free roamer on the PS2 that wasn't Grand Theft Auto, seriously, I was never a big fan of Spider Man but that game was way ahead of its time.
It could have been if they implemented the trust/whos the thing element better. Some elements in that game were amazing, many others were terrible. Wanted is ok if you have a free weekend and just want a blast. Get it cheap.Gorilla Gunk said:
I'm going to say Aliens: Colonial Marines, out of pure hope.
