This is my feeling too, with Silent Hill a little behind. Neither of them is much above average though. Just better than most of the other tripe.

OMG the cut scenes in that game were unbelievable. You could have played through an entire other game just while the cut scenes were running.

I guess my answer would be Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, which was okay.

Are you serious? That was one of the absolute worst of the video game films, although "Advent Children" was even crappier.

Not sure, all of them were average to terrible, but Silent Hill the least of them. of course it can't hold a candle to Silent Hill, 2, 3, or 4 but it was about the same as the newest games. Van Damme's Street Fighter is pretty hilarious as far as the bad ones go.

Best game based after a movie/tv show: anything Capcom did related to Disney, pretty much. Those and SEGA's light gun rail shooter for The Lost World.

Best (worst) video games trying to be movies: Metal Gear Solid 4, Heavy Rain.
Least crappy movies based somehow on video games: King of Kong: Fistful of Quarters :? ; Silent Hill.
Movies that could be somewhat decent: DOA: Dead or Alive; Tekken. You never know.

good god yes. I would pump $5-10 a week into that with a friend. Still never beat it.

that and The Simpsons were the 2 games that got the most out of me at the arcade.

+1.

We're talking about the old Lion King and such platformers right? I'd always go to a friend's house so I could play some Aladdin on his Sega, that game was wicked. I was about 5 when I played 'The Lost World' but I remember just perfectly how incredibly aweomse it was. It definitely left on me a better impression than the film it was based on, I can tell you that.

Looking up on Wiki Capcom never did a Lion King game, and the Mega Drive/Genesis version of Aladdin was actually done by the same team that would make Earthworm Jim, so it was still good, but Capcom made the SNES version. Haven't played any Lion King game so I can't comment on it. The best SNES Disney Capcom game is either Goof Troop or Magical Quest 3, although that one actually didn't make it overseas you can pick up a ROM. If you played either the first or second Magical Quest you will love the third one.
