10 Comic Characters Still Waiting for Video Game Justice

7. Spawn

Offending Games - Spawn (Ukiyotei), Spawn: Armageddon (Point of View) The first Spawn game was a typical side-scroller that we had seen countless times before, and while not the worst of its kind it certainly didn't offer anything new to the gaming community. The gameplay was laborious and involved the use of hard combos that were unnecessary to master. Spawn: Armageddon arrived on the PS2 and offered up better graphics as it brought Spawn to the streets to battle all sorts of monsters as basically a third-person shooter. Unfortunately, the difficulty was low, the game physics were frustrating and Armageddon ended up being dull and boring, as were most of the other Spawn games that were released to similar lacklustre responses. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5kgR0Vfd0s How It Should Play: Spawn would benefit the most using the Arkham formula of games, but keeping it even darker and full of the great qualities that made Spawn such a hit; moving away from boring combos and repetitive missions in favour of a heavily story-based game that sees Spawn moving across his city using chains, cape and hell-powers among the various missions that carry him through the game. Keep some of the same great cast of characters from the early comics while featuring a number of his craziest villains, all in a tightly scripted story that could make for the fun, time-consuming game that Spawn deserves. The current game mechanics inspired by the Arkham games, along with some serious power/artillery upgrades, and ridiculously huge boss battles would give the character new life in the video game world. Special Move: Spawn teleports to hell to make Malebolgia answer for the previous Spawn games in an arena deathmatch for the win.
