Hannah Montana: The Movie: The Game
The Movie: The overwhelming success of𝓀 Miley Stewar🌄t's famous alter-ego sends the girl on a road trip back home to reconnect with her pre-Hannah roots.
The Game Version: ไSearch for clues to Hannah's next concert venue; play the gig well and rece𓃲ive points to buy clothes! This is mindless, insulting stuff even for the Montana fanbase.
Worst Element: Surely this would be better as a straightforward karaoke game rather than being forced to play all of those laborious qu❀ests just to ge✨t on stage?
Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon
The Movies: The short but enduring run of features made by the martial arts star in the early 1970s, the most famous being Enter The Dragon .
The Game Version: A new story combining all of the movies' 🅷tried-and-tested elements, as Bruce fights an organised crime gang, poor voice performances, lengthy load times and un♔responsive controls.
Worst Element: The poorly-designed controls limit your ability to perform to Lee's standards… but then, we doubt there's a developer around who could translate hi🅺s skills into pixel form.
Spider-man 3
The Movie: Third time unlucky for Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguiﷺre, as narrative overkill drives Peter Parker into taking a misguided career change into a dancing bad boy.
The Game Version: A m🍒oody Spidey does not a good film make, making this a backwards step for the game trilogy. On the plus side, Bruce Campbell is 🧜playing the Narrator again.
Worst Element: Different plots and supporti♔ng villains depending on the platform, which is a nightmare for com♈pletists.
Fight Club
The Movie: The first rule about Fight Club is… that it isn't really a🐟bout fighting, being more concerned with pre-millennial angst, nihilistic masculinity and mౠaking soap out of post-liposuction fat.
The Game Version: Ine☂vitably, the film's nuances are abandoned so the game can concentrate on the fighting, along the lines of countless other sec꧙ond-rate games.
Worst Element: Your reward for winning one section is to unlock a virtual avatar of Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst. On the plus side, you can﷽ then deliberately lose in order to see the crap kicked out of him.
Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game Of The Movie
The Movie: The one about the big ape directed by the guy who did The Lord Of The Rings , ie it's not the King Kong that's in🍸 black-and-white or the one that uses th🥃e World Trade Center for its climax.
The Game Version: You play as either Jack Driscoll or Kong himself. 🉐Either way, Jackson makes it hard for you by controversially removing the Heads Up Display so you don't know how much juice෴ is left in your life bar.
Worst Element: Jackson's commitment to pushing the visual quality meant that the Xbox 260 version only worked on high-definition TVs, meaning that the game was too dark to be p🎉layed on a standard-def set.
Dick Tracy
The Movie: Warren Beatty's eye-popping live-action comic, which perfectly replicates the look a💝nd feel of the original newspaper strip and then ruins it by casting Madonna.
The Game Version: A mix of driving game and side-scrolling adventure, as Tracy tours the city seeking crimes to stop. A bit like the film, except without t🌼he stunning cinematography, costumes or💟 production design.
Worst Element: The driving sections are automatically locked on to the required destination, whic🎃h rather takes away the fun of getting behind the wheel to find the bad guys yourself.
Independence Day
The Movie: Decade-defining blockbuster that made Will Smith a star, blew up the White House and (briefly) made Roland Emmeri💞ch look like the king of mindless spectacle before Michael Bay took his crown.
The Game Version: Where the film tackled the response to invasion by a large ensemble, the game - for Play Station and others - turned the story into straightforward flying and shooting game as the player hunted dow💫n alien spaceships.
Worst Element: There are only so many times you find a target and launch your missiles. As Game Spo🐭t put it, "each new level brings a sense of deja vu that can make the Eiffel Tower level feel the same as the Grand Canyon."
Jumper: Griffin's Story
The Movie: Doug Liman's maligned actioner about tween teleporters Haydn Christiansen and Jamie Bell, locked ♚in combat with an over-acting Samuel L. Jackson.
The Game Version: A typically rushed attempt to cash-in on the latest blockbuster, the kindest thing you can say is that - since few watched the movie - even fewer saw the weak 🎃graphics or repetitive game🌺play of the game.
Worst Element: The title, which suggests the hu🙈bris that the dꦡevelopers were hoping to follow-up with the 'Stories' of other characters from the film.
Mean Girls
The Movie: 𒉰 Modern high-school classic written by Tina Fey, in which a never-better Lindsay Lohan rises to power by being&helli🐟p; well, mean.
The Game Version: A standard-issue puzzle game along the lines of Puzzle Quest , in which collecting shoes and lipstick me💟ans be🔯ing able to deliver better put-downs.
Worst Element: So much time had elapsed between the film (2004) and its game (2010) that Lohan's face was left off the c𝕴over, due to her toxic reputation and/or insane demands for money for using h🌺er likeness (depending on who you believe).
Hudson Hawk
The Movie: Much derided comedꦏy adventure starring Bruc💦e Willis.
The Game Version: A cheapo cash-in for NES, in which Hudson sneaks past 👍various guard🍨 dogs by chucking balls to distract them.
Worst Element: The 'jump' button invariably failed, ensuring that Hudson came acros✨s as an enthusiastic lemming as he ran off buildings.
