First of all there is the new movie video game based on X-Men Origins: Wolverine. This awesome adventure game is thankfully tons better than the movie itself! Created by Raven Software, the Wolverine video game boasts a rather different story to the blockbuster movie, but it does have Hugh Jackman’s voice and visual likeness. The game features all of Wolverine’s abilities, which are put to use in a very nice way- especially his healing ability.
As far as Marvel video games go, the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie video game is much more violent, as you will see from the battlefield festooned with torn-up stiffs and other lovely things. Well, the Wolverine character sure has claws. Here you get to make him use them to their complete horrific effect.
Next up there is the new video game based on Terminator Salvation, the newest film in the time travelling cyborg science fiction adventure film series. Where both Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and its movie video game counterpart were excruciatingly bad, this appears to be going hand in hand with the brave new vision of the new movie and is great to look at and play. Here’s a notable example of how movie video games are improving a great deal lately.
Now with two-player co-operative game-play, the Terminator story is catching up with other video games such as mega-hit Gears of War series, permitting for some awesome split-screen adventure to be played out. Merge this with the remarkably rendered futuritic distopian world that the movie video game takes place in, which you can use to your full advantage when playing the game, and you have one strong prospect for the Sony Playstation and Xbox 360.
The eagerly awaited Ghostbusters movie video game is something that is causing a big hubbub. With news that the third Ghostbusters movie is finally going ahead, 20 years after Ghostbusters 2 arrived, now is a perfect time to remind yourself of the original Ghostbusters characters and scenes. Let’s face it, the 1st is a total classic in every sense of the word, and at last there’s a movie video game that does it the justice it deserves.
The story behind the new Ghostbusters video game was devised by Harold Ramis and Dan Ackroyd, the writers (and stars) of the 1st two Ghostbusters films, so the new game may even be canon to a certain extent. The classic original four Ghostbusters movie characters are recreated as awesome digital versions of the actors, and the whole game looks great. All of your character’s vital readings are given on your Proton pack, giving this movie video game a somewhat similar atmosphere to Dead Space. With all of the classic creatures showing up in the game, fans will be delighted when they get hold of it for their DS, PS3, PC, Xbox 360 or Wii.
After such a number of lacking movie video game tie-ins, it appears that the latest titles that are being released are being created with much more of an eye on for the source material and also what fans demand out of a movie video game based on their most loved titles. These are a selection of the finest movie video games out at the moment, and hopefully they will help you discover a whole new level of fun of your favourite films.
