Terminator 2: Judgement Day for the Sega Genesis.
I was 6 or 7 at time and it took me like 9 months to save up the entire $70 (I'm in Canada can't ya tell, eh) to buy the damn game. My jackass brother convinced me that he had already played it once and it was the best game he had ever played. What a lying dick face. It was a light gun game, with no fucking light gun. Damn cursor aiming was bullshit. I was too stupid and clumsy at 7 to aim properly and ended up hating my brother more than the game. I still hate him sometime and he still owes me a few hundred bucks, asshole.

First off, many movie games are great: Goldeneye, World is Not Enough, Spider-Man 1-3, X-men Origins: Wolverine, The Incredible Hulk, Super Star Wars 1-3, Minority Report, and the list goes on...

Secondly, I was first introduced to the eye-stabbingly bad movie games with Last Action Hero on the SNES and ET on the Atari. I couldn't play either one for more than 15 minutes.

It was probably [insert name of Uwe Boll movie here].

I have never really hated any movie games from experience, just avoided them because i knew i should. However, I did once acquire the non arcade version of T2 for genesis and that game was damn terrible.

I really don't remember what made me hate movie games... Just as far back as I remember I knew that they sucked.

Jurassic Park on the Megadrive(or genesis, I guess).

The music is some of the least inspired on that system (Although maybe I'd just been spoilt by the Chemical Plant Zone theme) and the jumping was... Less than intuitive.

It was so bad that, while I think I might have only been 4 or 5 when I can first recall playing it, even then I knew better than to give it more than a few tries.

You mean Street Fighter? It was blatantly weird. I mean, the developers decided to give it the Street Fighter name, and really, it bombed because it wasn't really a Street Fighter game. It would be understandable if it were given another name, maybe it would be made into a legend. A space dude going on a mission to save his best friend from aliens? Epic! (Somewhat!)

The Predator game for the PS2. I bought this piece of shit and got stuck on the second mission, because the game wouldn't let me do what I wanted to do. Plus it was boring as hell anyway.

House of the Dead. oh my god that was terrible. i started seeing videogame movies around when Tomb Raider and Resident Evil came out and they were pretty good, but then the House of the Dead came out and killed it... zombies that look like they just threw a bunch of seaweed on them. sad sad sad

i was never the kind of person who liked to watch movies especially the ones that are based on a video game. same mechanics with all movie game combinations, if the game is made and the movie is based on it, the movie sucks, but if the game is a official movie game, the game sucks. i'm glad i have never sat down and actually watched one of those movies based on a video games. try another question people can answer easier with less thinking because lots of us have never had the chance to watch a movie based on a game.

i have to admit, goldeneye was an awesome movie game.

and again with et the game, let that game bih already (you should figure out what i mean by bih) and the spiderman 3 game didn't seem complete. i was going to buy it but decided to rent it instead and boy am i glad i did what i did. i practically finished that game in less than a week.

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back for the Gameboy color. Star Wars platforming games just don't work. :(
