10 Movie Video Games EVERYONE Missed

10. Vertigo

Just because a movie is hailed as a masterpiece doesn't mean it deserves a video game tie-in. Could you imagine playing an open-world title based on Gone with the Wind? Or The Shawshank Redemption? Or Goodfellas? (Actually, a Goodfellas game would be awesome.)

So, when a game inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller, Vertigo, was revealed at E3 in 2021, the gaming community wondered how such an adaption would work.

Simple. By changing every aspect of the story and all the characters. In fact, this adventure title only shares one similarity with the film - both protagonists suffer from vertigo. If it wasn't advertised as "Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo", you wouldn't know this game was associated with the 1958 classic.

But is it any good?

Unfortunately not. Because the gameplay focuses on uncreative quick time events and searching for pixel-sized clues, Vertigo is more likely to put you to sleep rather than keep you on edge. Even though the previews generated a bit of buzz at E3, Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo made such a minuscule ripple upon launch, many gamers are still utterly unaware of its existence.
