10 Movie Video Games That Were EPIC Fails
10. Rambo: The Video Game (2014)
It's astonishing to play Rambo: The Video Game and believe it came out the same year as Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (or... literally anything else in 2014).
Titanfall, Destiny, Alien: Isolation and Wolfenstein: The New Order - all took classic genres and IPs, breathing new life into them with fantastic settings, gameplay mechanics and stories worth seeing through to the credits.
But Rambo was nowhere near the same tier in terms of design or execution. It plays as an on-rails shooter in an odd throwback to the Nintendo Wii's slew of titles like Resident Evil Chronicles or House of the Dead. But Rambo simply didn't have the finesse in its controls that Wii Remote titles enjoyed, playing at a stuttering pace. The mouse control is marginally better on PC, but that doesn't save it from being godawful.
What's worse, is that character models look like upscaled PlayStation 2 graphics. No new dialogue was recorded for the game either; developer Teyon instead bought the rights to the audio from the movies. A fair effort, to be sure, but the cutscenes don't do it justice.
Simply put, Rambo: The Video Game had bad graphics, bad audio and bad design all round.
