Another one of the best video games based on movies is the Friday the 13th adaptation. The classic horror game nailed the horrifying atmosphere of the movies, offering players a multiplayer game that is just as fun and thrilling as watching the movies. Players either play the camp counselor or Jason himself, and must work together to take down the masked maniac.

Shadow of Mordor stands out amongst the rest due to its compelling gameplay and groundbreaking Nemesis System. While there have been several adaptations of the Lord of the Rings franchise in video game format, nothing is quite like this one. The game has excellent stealth-action gameplay and stellar parkour systems while giving players the ability to explore Sauron’s realm.

In this instance, the video game is actually better than the movie that it’s based on, interestingly enough. Chronicles of Riddick mixes both stealth and melee with first-person shooting for a great effect in a deadly intergalactic prison. At the time, the game was years ahead visually, providing amazing details, solid texture work, and beautiful lighting.

While the game’s graphics don’t look stellar these days, it’s still known as one of the best video games based on movies. GoldenEye 007 revolutionized shooters. The game has specific missions that Bond must complete, determined by difficulty. The game also featured characters from the franchise’s history and has a variety of weapons to choose from.

Alien is one of the biggest science fiction movies, as well as one of the best horror movies. And Alien: Isolation is by far one of the best video games based on movies. Not only does it tell an original story, but the game still leans heavily on the first film when it comes to tone and gameplay, so you’re immersed and familiar with the world.

Star Wars is one of the largest franchises right now, and with it comes amazing video games, action figures, TV shows, and more. But one of the first, and best video games based on movies, is the 2003 release of Knights of the Old Republic. Not only was the an innovative narrative and engaging combat system, but the RPG customization put players in the universe perfectly to live out their Star Wars dreams.

The MCU is one of the biggest franchises, so it’s only right that one of the best video games based on movies is Spider-Man 2. The open sandbox game set in New York City was a perfect demonstration of what every game based on a pre-existing world should do. It puts players in control of the titular character, allowing them to discover the story that’s so close to their hearts.
