8 Video Game Tie-Ins BETTER Than The Original

Oh Catwoman, what a glorious mess of a film you are.

A film designed to show an empowering female anti-hero that spent half its runtime fighting over makeup and bad dates really didn't push the envelope as much as it intended, nor did the abject over-sexualization of Halle Berry which came across as a studio desperate not to lose that horny male demographic. It was a piece that stated one thing whilst doing the precise opposite and as such found no love with long-term DC fans nor potentially emerging ones.

So here's the point of the entry where I go "but luckily the video game tie-in was great!" right? Well, true I am here to say that the Catwoman tie-in was better, but good? You're clawing up the wrong tree mate as this title was a complete and utter hiss, however, it's still better than this mess of a movie.

I've never been able to describe a video game visual aesthetic as "smeary" but here we are, and the controls also feel like they've been bathed in Vaseline, as instead of watching a lithe and acrobatic figure cut stylistic moves, here you're presented with a stiff length of industrial tubing that can't even stick to walls half the time. Also shout out to the enemies which half the time can't figure out how to punch anything below their chin.

And yet, it's still better than the movie, because here at least there's some sick pleasure-pain to be had bumbing through things, whereas the movie was just a bum and mind-numbing experience.
