Weirdly enough for me, it was Cars. Not only did the game have a whole open world, but the story actually served as a continuation of the first movie.

The Barnyard game is BY FAR the best movie-based game ever. While most developers just create repetitive platformers, this game is literally an entire open-world RPG where u create your own character, travel around the map with a day-night cycle completing all sorts of missions, play mini games, and upgrade different game mechanics

The Madagascar game in the thumbnail was always super fun when I was a kid especially the penguins missions😂

I absolutely love Movie based Games! My favorite ones are: - The Incredibles - Spider-Man 2 - The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - Peter Jackson’s King Kong - Kung Fu Panda - Star Wars - Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith - X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban - Iron Man - Ratatouille

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie game is the best movie-based game. Honestly should be a crime no one talked about it. It was basically Battle for Bikini Bottom 2.

The lord of the rings games that came out for ps2 and gamecube are my personal favorite.

Okay but Joey's impression of the Underminer was actually so good 💀

Spider-Man 2 had one of, if not the best movie based video game ever. Played and replayed that game to death.

I remember playing Madagascar as a child and I had a lot of fun. But back then I thought it was hard, though I'm probably just bad at the game. That shuffleboard minigame was fun too. I will defend the Over the Hedge game with my life! It's really fun controlling different characters from the movie and using different weapons (the ball gun was my fav). It's even a sort-of sequel to the movie! Shrek 2, Cars and Spider-Man 2 (CONSOLE VERSION) are also really good! And I don't know if the Toy Story 3 game on PSP had good reviews but I really enjoyed it.

The first 3 Harry Potter games were so much fun growing up. Open world where you learn spells and fight monsters. Prisoner of Azkaban was my most replayed game for the collectibles alone, plus the Hippogriff time trials.

Ghost Rider had an amazing tie-in game on the ps2 It was like DMC and a pinch of OG God of War. Granted it didn’t have same amount of mechanical depth as those others but you could still pull of some sick moves on there. Very fun game. Also, the first Spongbob movie game was fantastic, and Spider-Man 2 was sick too.

The "over the hedge" DVD had 2 GAMES, I would spend like hours playing that shit

Personally, the early Cars games on PS2 was super fun it made me actually get better at racing games while making it fun! the madagascar game i forgot about but it had some fun levels!

Definitely Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis for me. Hands down one of the best tycoon game ever made and the modding community is still going strong❤

The Madagascar and shrek 2 gamecube games were SO GOOD! They did not need to go as hard as they did. Now I'm gonna go see if I can find them and play them on my wii haha.

Peter Jackson’s King Kong had a pretty good game. Apparently the PC port was poorly done, but I had a great terrified time on the original Xbox

Most lego games too i think the first lego star wars games for ps2 was awesome!

The Madagascar game is a pretty fun game, definitely a childhood classic for me

6:31 is where the conversation about licensed movie games starts

Batman Begins. The game was incredible! It paved the way for the Arkham series. The Batmobille sequences were amazing and the fear mechanic was so innovative!

Scooby-Doo: Cyber Chase (PS1) was one of the of the best games I played when I was younger. Surprised it didn’t get mentioned. Also shout out to Garnt for reminding me of the Toy Story 2 game!! That had been lost in the memory vault.

y'all know that Tom and Jerry fighting game on the PS2? That was so fucking fun my cousins and neighbors used to play it.

Spiderman 2, X-Men Origins Wolverine, and The Mummy Demake are all amazing games.

I loved the godfather Game.. also the Kung fu panda game

The movie games I remember playing on PS1 were Hercules, Mulan, Emperor's New Groove, Harry Potter, Toy Story, Tarzan, and Monsters Inc. Mulan actually taught me how to play mahjong at like 9 years old. Monsters Inc was fun because you had to collect screams in each level. Hercules and Harry Potter will always have a special place in my heart.

The middle earth games are the best movie licensed games in my opinion.

Spider-Man 2 was probably one of the best movie based games ever. Toby even voice acted for that game which was awesome.

Episode III ROTS is still my favourite movie tie in game. It was actually really fkin good. Lightsaber duels have never felt that good in a video game.

Return of the king and Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay were fantastic games

Goldeneye. Easy.

I played Wall-E on the Wii and DS, and both of those games were surprisingly fun./

Jackson's king Kong, the lord of the rings games and Shrek 2 for PS2 and GameCube were awesome

Over the Hedge for PS2 had an awesome multi-player. The golf cart racing was so fun

Spiderman 2 and King Kong are legendary movie games imo

Ratatouille for PS2 is a banger.

The transformers games for the first 3 movies went hard. For a movie game, they were amazing

Oh god I have this one memory from more than a decade or so ago when I sat on the tv remote, the screen went black and I panicked, and then some random ass, 80's looking platforming game booted up, directly on my tv, and I just started playing it until my parents came back to the living room. Or maybe my dad was there, I was like 6 or 7 so I don't really remember. I just remember that I was very confused, but it was entertaining.

I like the Monster House game.

Kung Fu Panda had a good game

It’s the console version of Spider-Man 2 without a shadow of a doubt. I repeat, the CONSOLE VERSION. The PC version of it is garbage.

I remember playing the Finding Nemo game, and the SpongeBob Squarepants movie game I don't remember if they were good, cus I played them once and I was a kid

kung fu panda is a good fighting/story/hack&slash game, only the first movie

Toy Story 2 for the ps1 was such a banger

Shrek 2 the video game is hands down the best DreamWorks video game there is

The Madagascar, Hercules and cars games were goated

6:38 WHAT That might be the _best_ movie tie-in game

Because they were released on practically every console/system out at the time, some of the movie based games varied in quality depending on which console you got it on. I think the main difference between whether it was tv or handheld console, where they were pretty much completely different games instead of just ports. Cars for 360 was so different to Cars for the DS :P

SpongeBob SquarePants movie game from mid 2000s was the GOAT

Ratatouille and Over the hedge are the best movie based games!

It’s official, I’ll never forgive Connor for not liking the PS2 Over the Hedge game. I used to play the bumber cars game mode with my friend for hours.

I remember playing the Kung Fu Panda game for xbox 360 and that slapped hard

lego star wars complete saga. that is all

One of my favorite movie tie-in games was the Chronicles of Narnia for PS2. I bought this game in a bargain bin at Toys R Us some years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. 🙂

My favorite GameCube movie based games: The SpongeBob SquarePants movie Cars Wallace & Gromit in Project Zoo Happy Feet Monster House Ratatouille

brother bear had the commentary track - done in character - by the two comic release moose. it was amazing.

The Spongbob Squarepants Movie game was amazing; I still have not unlocked everything. Also the only commentary I have listened to is the South Park commentary for all the DVDs.

I don't know if it's just me but I loved playing the Madagascar 2 game. It was like an open world game with levels and every character had its own unique abilities. Really fun.

4:55 That's some good content for the no context clippers

LotR games were good as well as the Matrix 2 game

Meet the Robinsons on game cube slapped Also the kung fu panda game that came with the 360 along w Lego Indiana Jones was ahead of its time

I rented that Madagascar game and left my PS2 on for like a week so I could keep playing after taking the disc out and return it. I remember getting really frustrated with the giraffe in the city level. Still loved it

That's crazy. I legit can't think of a good one

Ngl the only like movie video game I actually remember enjoying whenever I was a kid was the Surfs Up one on the DS cause it was basically like a cross between Mario Kart and Tony Hawk Pro Skater, from wht I remembered and I actually remember quite enjoying it, however practically any other movie video game, I actually hated whenever I was little.

lion king dvd had the cool safari choose your path game.

To this day, I still say the audio commentary for the English dub of Puni Puni Poemi anime OVA is one of the best EVER!

16:18 that skateboard game looks awfully familiar and i think I played the game as a kid

A Bugs Life on PS1 I remember being fun although I haven't played or seen a video of it in maybe 20 years. Also Scarface: The world is yours may be the best movie based game or probably doesn't count since it's technically a sequel.

Disney games were my childhood: Hercules, Tarzan, Toy Story 2 (with Buzz), WALL-E, Meet the Robinson, Ratatouille, The Incredibles, Atlantis, Aladdin.

I remember fondly the Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole game on the xbox 360. I also vividly remember playing the Tarzan game on the PC and it being fucking dark; when you fall to your death as kid Tarzan, you cut to a full-black scene, you see him hit the ground, his lifeless body splayed flat, limp when a monkey stops by to investigate, all while his dead eyes open wide staring up.

I loved that Madagascar game

Transformers rotf/ dotm were my fave console games with characters you don’t see on film along with the story with dotm n ds which were both fun in their own rights

The Transformers Cybertron games were 🔥

They were talking about good movie tie in games but didn't mention mad max

Jet Li Rise to Honor for PS2 was fun as hell. It wasn't a movie based game but it felt like a Jet Li movie.

There actually were quite a few good licensed games back then. The ones I probably remember the most are: - X-Men Origins: Wolverine Uncaged Edition. It's one of the few examples of a movie tie-in game that was BETTER than the film it's adapting, turning arguably the WORST X-Men film into an incredibly fun, hyper-violent roller coaster ride. - Pretty much all of the EA Lord of the Rings games were, at the very least decent. The one that probably stands out the most to me is The Third Age, which is basically Final Fantasy X with a LOTR coat of paint. - Not really direct tie-ins, but most of EA's 007 games back then were great too. The main examples I'd give would be Nightfire and Everything or Nothing, which not only managed to get both Pierce Brosnan's voice AND likeness (considering the other games either got his likeness or...well, nothing, it was impressive back then), but they even got Willem Dafoe to play the villain. - The Matrix: Path of Neo. After the... out there experiment that was Enter The Matrix, Path of Neo somehow went even MORE out there with it's concepts, resulting in an action game that, while it hasn't exactly aged the most gracefully, is a ton of fun. I won't spoil exactly what happens, but it gets...nutty, ESPECIALLY by the end.

Spiderman 2 is probably the most significant movie game as it has influenced almost every Spiderman game that has come after it. Marvel's Spiderman being the ultimate refinement of it. Jurassic Park on the SNES is probably my personal favourite though.

I remember playing the King Fu Panda game on the DS and it was pretty solid

Over the Hedge and Shrek 2.

The only two movie tie in games I’ve played in my life is the Bee Movie game on PS1 and the Enchanted game on Nintendo DS

Anyone remember Bakugan battle brawlers for the late ps2, ps3 and xbox 360?

As a kid I had the double pack of toy story two, and me and my brother lost the first disc, so we were stuck with the second disc of the bonus features so we watched that like 20 times.

The simpsons movie tie in game is very underrated IMO. When it comes to the simpsons people always talk about hit and run and road rage but the movie game was great too I thought

Happy Feet on the DS was my first ever rhythm game

Title should be either "What are the BEST Movie Based Games??" or "What is the BEST Movie Based Game??"

The Madagascar game was great. But Toy Story 3 on ps3 honestly might be a 10/10 game

Sherk 2 for the gamecube was pretty gud

Shout out to Garnt for mentioning Jedi Power Battles, that game was fucking brutal but so, so good.

The spider man game for the ps2 swing through nyc was great

what are*

the best games for me were the Lego Star wars an Indiana Jones Lego games + of course Pokémon. For pc the Bratz movie game. I've played the Madagascar game too tho

There r so many! I love playing toy story 3 (ps3) with my sis. Shrek 3 (xbox) was fun cuz u play as different characters. Barbie 12 dancing princesses (pc) & finding nemo (pc) r probably the earliest ones i played

Chicken Little on PlayStation 2 was a Banger

Over the hedge was fun

There were a few good ones on the SNES, Judge Dredd and the Stargate game were decent, as well as a few of the Star Wars ones (might have been N64).

Glad you guys mentioned Hercules! It remains a pretty good game!

The first 3 Harry Potter games were pretty fun so were Spider-Man games based on the movies were, the first cars game was my favorite racing game as a kid

X-Men Origins: Wolverine on the Xbox 360/PS3 was such a banger.

Idk if it counts but all the licenced LEGO games were amazing, specially when playing with a friend.

The Speed Racer ps2 racing game is the greatest movie tie in.

Eragon
