10 Video Games Based On Movies That Actually Didn't Suck

1. Spider-Man 2

Spider Man 21

Probably seen this one coming, huh? The first game was a mess. It had a bad plot, terrible controls, poor web-slinging, and couldn't even land on the ground. It was so frustrating. When Activision released the second game, players were wowed by the ability with which the developers were able to not only recreate New York, but Spider-Man's New-York. This time around, we could go web slinging to our heart's content, and truly connect with the game's wall-crawling protagonist. Absolutely everything about the game got a fresh coat of paint before being put in; the controls were fresh and never a burden, combat worked perfectly with aerial and ground maneuvering, and for the first time, fans could feel like they were in Spider-Man's shoes. So, if you wanted to just swing through the streets all day, you could do that and have fun. If you, on the other hand, wanted to get on with the story and missions, this game provided us with not only a plot taken from the movie itself, but an original set of missions where we could take on Black Cat, Mysterio, and an especially challenging altercation against Shocker. To date, I don't think any video game adaptation of a film has done it better than Spider-Man 2. So, that's my opinion. I'm sure you all have one of your own, and that's what the comments section below is for, so sound off your thoughts!

I'm a fan of pop-culture in all mediums: Music, Film, Gaming, Comics, TV, Whatever. I can generally find something enjoyable in even the worst trash. I guess as a B-Horror enthusiast, I kind of have to. Currently I'm an author working on a manuscript for a crime novel, and attending school to be an Environmental Health and Safety Technician. In the past I've made a go at running in an election for MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly) for my hometown of Glace Bay. I was 23 at the time, and though I lost (by like a lot), I learned a lot more about politics in a month than I ever learned. Get at me on Twitter @DanWilsonWC
