12 Most Bafflingly Awful Movie Tie-In Games You Ever Played

6. Tomorrow Never Dies (PS1)

What It Should Have Been: After the success of Goldeneye 64, Tomorrow Never Dies should have brought the first-person shooter Bond game to the PlayStation, and though the PS1 controller wasn't exactly the most user-friendly for FPS games, we would have forgiven this for a fraction of the brilliance that made Goldeneye work. What It Actually Was: Instead, we got a naff third-person action game that didn't even have any multiplayer either. The controls were more cack-handed than surely even the most rubbish attempt at a PS1 FPS game would have been, and they couldn't even coax Pierce Brosnan back to do the voice work. It was bad enough, at least, to make EA realise that third-person Bond games weren't what gamers wanted, and a spate of pretty decent FPS Bond titles followed for the next few years.
