It's no secret that most of the time, licensed games may not be ... how shall we say? Any good at all. But that's not a universal truth, as occasionally, a game based on a film shines through as strongly as any more original property. Some people have told us, for instance, that Cars DS is not a complete waste of a cartridge, especially for the younger and more casual gamers in our lives. But looking back, there are very few licensed games or game tie-ins that stand out. Perhaps the best of the lot was a stronghold of the N64, but the link to the movie was a little tenuous at times. Have any other licensed games rocked your socks over the years? What was so horrifically bad it made you want to kick things? We'd love to hear about it.

Well my favorite movie to game was the lord of the rings: The Two Towers and The Return of The King. Those games were awesome just like their movie counterparts. My least favorite is when I got Toy Story 2 for N64 when I was 6. Eventhough I was little and like the movie I hated the game.

Good side
Goonies for MSX
- The game itself was so good but I couldn't find any real reference to the movie itself when I was playing it.
Robocop for arcade
- tragically difficult but still fun
