12 Most Bafflingly Awful Movie Tie-In Games You Ever Played
7. Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza (PC)
What It Should Have Been: A non-stop adaptation of the first Die Hard movie, with some bonus segments thrown in to pad things out and make it a little more consistent in terms of action. What It Actually Was: Though the game in many respects has the right idea about building on the action in the movie, it's a depressingly inconsistent affair, and hurt severely by the fact that nobody involved with the original film except for Reginald VelJohnson (who played Al Powell) lent their voices to this effort. As a result, we have to suffer through some hilariously awful stand-ins, combined with risible, unconvincing AI, and blandly rendered locales which only scarcely resemble what we saw in the movie. And it's way, way too long for a game based on a two-hour movie.
