So yeah, Avatar came out yesterday—no, not James Cameron's long-awaited film (out December 18) starring our current cover girl Zoe Saldana, but the accompanying video game from Ubisoft, available for the 360, PS3, Wii, and DS. Judging from cool screenshots like the one above and generally positive early reviews, Avatar: The Game doesn't suck as bad as pretty much every other movie-based title. And boy, have there been some sucky ones. We're looking at you, King Kong.
But not all tie-in games have been unplayable. (In fact, there are some that even made our Best of 2000s list.) Read on to see our choices for the top 10 movie-based video games of all time...
#10:Disney's Aladdin
DEVELOPER/PUBLISHER/PLATFORMS: Disney Interactive Studios/Virgin Interactive/Genesis, Amiga, MS-DOS, NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color
RELEASE DATE: November 11, 1993
THE COMPLEX CO-SIGN: It may be kind of easy to turn an animated film into a video game, but this is by far the best to do it. This action-platformer is not only mad fun to play on the Genesis, but its cel animation makes for some pretty awesome graphics. Jumping, jumping, and sword-killing seems pretty basic now, but it's never not fun.
