Best Game adaption of a Comic Book Hero

[Ayen]

I'm stealing taking inspiration from BoB's threads to make a video game version. So duke it out, but don't get blood on the nice carpet. I get the feeling the Batman Arkham games are going to get the most votes.

Spiderman 2 for the PS2 is my favorite. They nailed the web-swinging mechanics and the combat was really fun. The only Spiderman game I played that actually made me feel like Spiderman.

The Arkham games are also great, but I found myself bored of them after awhile. And I really don't like how pretty much every recent action game post-Arkham tried to copy the free-flow battle and counter-attack system.

I'm partial to the Spider-Man games, myself. Probably because he's my favorite hero. Mainly, the games on PlayStation and the ones based off the movies. I agree with the web-swinging in Spider-Man 2. I had fun just flying around New York City helping people. Ultimate Spider-Man (the one where you play as Venom too) took from that mechanic as well.

I liked Arkham Asylum, but Origins could have been better. I got bored zip-lining across the city after a while. I also really like X-Men Legends, and the 2003 Hulk game. The movie was bad, but the game was fun. Mainly because it stopped following the movie after the first level.

Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. They had Paul Dini write the stories and just a lot of love put into it. Arkham Knight is going to be incredible.

I picked up Arkham City a couple months back while vacationing in Branson. I hope to be caught up by the time Arkham Knight comes out next year.

The Arkham series, no question. I didn't play Origins, but it wasn't made by the same team as Asylum and City. That team is making Arkham Knight and it should be excellent.

I watched a friend play Arkham Asylum, and I haven't had any exposure to the others. I don't think I'll ever play any of them myself. So saying that sounds like a cheat

But it just dawned on me that The Walking Dead is a comic. That was a pretty good game. The Wolf Among Us is probably pretty good too, but I haven't tried that one. Not really adaptations of a "hero" so much as a good adaptation of a world

I haven't enjoyed too many comic games though. The typical superhero things just don't do it for me, and too many of them fall into the "bad license games" category

That one Wolverine game (not so) based off the movie was pretty stellar, mostly because they pretty much ignored the movie and made their own crazy God of War style game

Arkham Asylum. Easily the best Batman game, let alone superhero game.

I enjoy X-Men games when I play them, though. I think there was one in particular around the Megadrive (Genesis) era that was great fun.

You thinking about this?

This was one of six Sega games I played all the time as a kid.

Arkham Asylum. Easily the best Batman game, let alone superhero game.You say that as though "Batman game" is a broader and more impressive category than "superhero game."

[Scotty_ffgamer]

Arkham Asylum is pretty great from the bit I've played. I really like the old NES Batman though.

Batman is more than a superhero.

Oh my gosh that game is so hard. I finally beat it (with Game Genie) like...last year sometime. Down to my last hit, too. Crazy intense.

[Spuuky]

Batman is less than a superhero.I fixed that for you. Batman is (by an enormous margin) the most overrated "superhero." His "superpowers" are wealth and luck.

[Perducci]

Turtles in Time.

[Vyk]

Oh yeah.. Ninja Turtles.. Too bad their most recent games have all generally sucked :(

[Ayen]

This reminds me of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Arcade for the NES. I loved that game so, so much! Heads over heels an improvement from the first game.

I absolutely love the original Spiderman game series that was on Playstation. It was terrific. It was actually the thing that got me to be obsessed about Spiderman. I loved collecting the comic books in game and learning about that particular issue.

The Walking Dead game is pretty good too, but I see that as more of it's own entity loosely based on the comic book because the characters and plot are so different yet takes place in the same world.

[Slothy]

The Arkham games are fun for a single play through or so, but the fact that they're so on the rails and quite repetitive wears thin. Especially when they're so damn easy.

Spider-Man 2 and Ultimate Spider-Man are the best adaptations as far as capturing what it would be like to be that hero with their powers. X-Men Legends and Legends 2 are also quite enjoyable what with the variety of characters and powers.

[Sephex]

Probably the Arkham games. At least the first one for sure.

[Old Manus]

Oh boy.

So many hours pumped into this game.

You could put a cheat code in to make the whole game completely loopy. No game since that I know of had such a feature.

Once I got the Scarlet Spider costume in that game I never looked back.

[Slothy]

Those bonus costumes were probably one of my favourite things about that Spider-Man game because I'm a nerd.

[Ayen]

The customization you could do with them in 2 was amazing.

[Slothy]

Sadly I never bought 2. I should rectify that someday.

[Ayen]

Eeh, it hasn't aged too well just to warn you.

[Slothy]

I still remember the original quite well so I'm aware.

While perhaps not broader, it's definitely more impressive in my experience.
