They also put alot of time and effort to Superman return's game and it sucked.
Yeah but it was based on a film that sucked.
That's like been surprised the Catwoman game wasn't like prince of persia.
The fact is it's always a toss-up as to whether a game will be good or not. Plenty of time and effort can go into making some truly ****-stain games and sometimes, great games can come out of nothing but a lot of random ideas thrown into a computer.
Saying that a movie-game's quality is parallel to its silver screen counterpart is just so hopelessly retarded it makes my head ache with a searing pain.
Superman Returns: The Videogame had almost zilch to do with the film and that's not even why it wasn't any good. How anyone can say that the game was bad
because the film was bad is beyond me. If you play Spider-Man 2, you'll notice that it's very different from the movie and has its own interesting sub-plots and action sequences and succeeds in exciting the player. It's not a good game because the movie was good. The game didn't set out to make you feel like you were in the movie. It set out to make you feel like you were Spider-Man and it succeeded. In fact, I think I probably enjoyed the game more than I enjoyed the movie.
Another reason why Mole's comment is bogus is that the game-makers only get very vague snippets of the movie (mostly concept art, shooting scripts and the same trailers we see) when it's being made. There's a reason why the Spider-Man 2 game is far more similar in style to the first Spider-Man movie and why the Spider-Man 3 game is more similar in style to Spider-Man 2 the movie. So...once again, you can't blame Superman Returns' crappiness on your opinions of the movie, because the game-makers didn't even get that good a look at the movie while most of the game was being made.
Finally, while Batman Begins was probably an uninspired game that didn't push any boundaries and held the player's hand the whole way through; it was FUN (something that many 'great games' of today sorely lack) and I felt more like Batman than I have in any other game before. If this new game is as entertaining as the last, I'll be quite satisfied. But in the mean time, I'm very much entitled to dream about The Dark Knight Videogame being the greatest free-roaming superhero game ever, with full access to all of Batman's weaponry, vehicles and costumes as well as Bruce Wayne's wealth, as I take down the mob of Gotham City as well as various supervillain crazies. For more information about what this game should be, ask Zombipanda.
Thank you and good night.
