The Warriors on PS2.

Got to be the best game on the console.
Posted October 13, 2010
These were already mentioned, but still:

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher's Bay
Batman: Arkham Asylum
TONS of Star Wars games
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

I also enjoyed Rogue Trooper.

I'll second the Riddick games. Batman AA goes without saying. LoTR Battle for Middle Earth 1 & 2 are very good as are many D&D games from the Interplay days (and NWN2).

The Dawn of War games seem to have been a bit overlooked. I suppose The Witcher is licensed too, despite how little known the novels were before its release. Oh and let's not forget Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Shadowrun (SNES).

I don't know if Star Wars games are licensed though, really. Being published by the same company behind the films, they're pretty much in house, in a sense.

wwee: Enjoyed playing these Star Trek games:

Star Trek Next Generation - A Final Unity
Star Trek - Starfleet Command

From comics:

X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse

From films:

Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis
Star Trek 25th Anniversary was great

I'll try not to repeat anything that's been said, but I have a tendency to skip posts by mistake...

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer games for xbox were good. Not great, but good.
Splinter Cell was sort of licensed.
Goldeneye 007.
I've heard that Kingdom Hearts is good.
Dune II.

I thought the X-Men Origins: Wolverine game was surprisingly solid. A God of War clone that actually had a very nice feel, good length, pretty enough and stupidly violent. Top stuff.

heh, I had planned to write almost exactly that, but felt I should stick to one example of Raven's great track record in making license games in my first post.
I have the PC port of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and so far I have enjoyed it a lot more than God of War.
Stupid, brutal, good pacing and fluent gameplay, for the type of game it is it's great.

fisk0: I was surprised not to be able to find a thread with this topic.

Wishbone: It exists. I know this topic was discussed in the past month, but I can't find the thread either, so I suppose you're excused ;-)

One game that was brought up there that I also remember fondly was Batman: The Movie. Both the C64 and the Amiga versions were pretty good.
Ah, I just managed to find the old thread you were mentioning - seems it used exactly the words I did not search for - http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/movie_and_series_games_that_dont_suck/ (I searched for great/good license games, licensed titles, film and comic licenses :D funny how that thread used the exact opposite way of phrasing that).

Which reminds me - Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is pretty fun. I liked it a lot.

JudasIscariot: I have No Mouth And I must Scream approved by the author (Harlan Ellison) who also voiced the supercomputer AM.

GoJays2025: Ah yes, I missed that one. Good game indeed. The short story is pretty excellent too.
I have never heard of this one until now. I am a big fan of Ellison too, so I may have to try and track this one down.

You guys are all wrong. The only one worth mentioning when it comes to licensed games is Superman 64. Cabella's Big Trophy Bucks comes in a close second.

Chex Quest wasn't bad either.

Catshade: I once played this quirky Japanese-only PS1 game called Pepsiman. Who knew that a game based on soft drink license can be so much fun! :D

fisk0: I did not know The Witcher was based on a series of books though.
It's based on the books of Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski.
So far two are translated into English. Those are The Last Wish and Blood of Elves.
You can buy it at Amazon.
Maybe this game will be released here on GoG, cause it's made by CdProjekt Red, the develop studio of CDProjekt. who owns GoG.
