THE LIST: Top 5 Games Based on Other Media IP

Basing your game on existing IP can either be a blessing or burden. By doing so, designers can potential use an existing story world to inform their own adaptation. Do it poorly, however, and prepare to incur the wrath of the fans. These are five games that have done a stellar job turning movies, TV, and comics into games.

This list was made for THE LIST segment of the Low Score Podcast.

Showing 1-5 of 5 items

1. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

2. Ultimate Spider-Man

3. Disney's Aladdin

4. The Darkness

5. Astro Boy: Omega Factor
