Games That Would Make for a Great Musical

[zoozilla]

What games do you think would make for a great Broadway musical adaptation?

I have to go with The Secret of Monkey Island. It's got everything a musical needs:
-pirates
-jokey, slightly corny humour
-a clueless protagonist with a funny name
-great music
-witty swordfights with limited physical contact
-pirates!

The topic is set: GO.

"Ohhh Zelda! I'm coming to rescue youuuuuuuu..."
"Ohh, Link, I'm waiting in Gannon's toweeeeeeeer."


Yeah, that would actually suck badly.
So, I'll go with Metal Gear Solid because it's almost a movie anyway.

 

[SharPhoe]

I'm gonna say... God of War.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Metal Gear Solid.


"Am I living in a box? Am I living in a cardboard box?"

there is a difference between movie and musical.
I would say......none? Well besides adventure games I can't think of a genre good enough for it.
Also didn't they make a Mario musical?

Great musicals? I know none. Musicals usually involve people trying to act, followed by a dance and singing. Not my cup of tea.

 

[kommando367]

Gears of war 2, with the toaster as the main character and a nemecyst as the love interest. do I win?

 

[About To Crash]

You kidding? Killer 7 would make a killer (Haha) musical. Imagine the "Heavenly Smile Chorus Line" dancing gaily along, exploding and murdering innocent bystanders... Ah, now that would make for a musical.

 

[Voodoo Child]

Portal. Oh my God, Portal.

And Command & Conquer 3 has enough camp overacting for a musical, definitely.

And Super Smash Bros. Brawl would also work wonders.

Clearly you've never seen 'Avenue Q.'

 

[Cleverpun]

The two greatest (film) musicals ever are 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'My Fair Lady' (not Broadway I know).

I Would nominate Okami and Elite Beat Agents (or Ouendan).

It's already one! Well at least a play in a high school

 

[NeutralDrow]

I think Devil May Cry would make for an awesome musical. It would certainly require a musical genre shift from the normal fare...

 

[Pumpkin_Eater]

Left 4 Dead, Bioshock, Magic: the Gathering, any of the bad Final Fantasies, and No More Heroes.

I'll come back if I think of anything else :3

 

[CounterAttack]

Portal. Oh my God, Portal.

Portal would be epic. I wonder what the Companion Cube would sound like if it had a voice and tried to sing... XD

 

[mrhockey220]

I think Halo 3 would be absolutely hilarious and GTAIV because of the huge story

 

[DiscountSkill]

Dead Rising. I can just imagine a Thriller-esque dance routine. That or Resident Evil. If you thought the dialogue was terrible, just think of the lyrics to THAT musical.

 

[Not Good]

Total Annihilation?

I think I would lol.
