5th & 6th Generation Licensed Games

Booted this hack and slash up on Dolphin, pretty satisfying combat actually. What were some of your favorite licensed games from this generation? It was that sweet spot where middling developers could pick up a cheap contract and put out a quality weekend rental, and prices seem to be cheap cause everyone finds them embarrassing nowadays.

    The James Bond games. Agent Under Fire, Nightfire, Everything or Nothing, etc. I fricking hate how there is no market for games like this anymore.

    If you want good PS2 era co-op brawlers, I recommend this and Eragon.

      I love this game. I played it over and over as a kid and it's still solid today

      I always see folks talking about the PS2 version (which is good) but the GBA version is very nice. Great little beat em up.

      Otherwise we got
      >Lord of the Rings games
      >Spiderman 2 and 3 (frick you i liked 3)
      >Don't know if they count or not since not strictly based on movies but obviously the old Battlefront games
      >Battle for Bikini Bottom
      >Spiderman PS1
      >Small Soldiers on PS1 (clunky yet competent enough TPS dripping in atmosphere)
      >Toy Story 2 on PS1

      I wish this was slightly better. It's surprisingly long and full of content, but it's another game made worse in co-op.

    I was trying to decide playing this game or Conan on GameCube (pal exclusive) but I ended up going with Knights of the Temple the Infernal Crusade. It's not good, but it's not terrible. if you just want to go around slashing down a bunch of monks and knights with basic heavy/light attack combos then this is the game for you.

      Sequel has much better gameplay, but still weird in other areas

      No, it's genuinely terrible. There are so much shit in the making of video at the end credits, it feels like they cut out more than half of the game.

    this game was hated on by reviewers saying the timer on each level ruined the game but I just played it for the first time and the timer doesn't ruin anything, if anything its necessary for the combat to work because without the timer there's no sense of urgency. And honestly you should never have an issue with it if you try at all. Aside from that it's a fairly good beat em up where you use points to unlock new combos AND best of all you can play as Robin, Batman, Batgirl (who looks great) and Nightwing. I really like the graphics and the way it's a time capsule for the style of its find n

      This game is hot trash and if you like it, it exposes you as a tastelet. It's stiff and has unappealing gameplay for a beatemup. It's even one of those games made worse when you play it in co-op, particularly because of the bosses.

    there are actually so many pretty damn decent games. If you include sports games then there's a ton more. Here's a small list of extreme sports with licensed games

    Skateboarding
    Snowboarding
    Snow Mobile
    Rollerblades
    Scooter
    Surfing
    Atv
    BMX
    Motocross
    Jetski

    that's what I can name off the top of my head.

    What an incredibly strange game for Konami to develop.

      >What an incredibly strange game for Konami to develop.
      I recall the movie being pretty big at the time. Kiera Knightly and Clive Owen are blockbuster names, especially Kiera after Pirates. Midmarket licensed games were huge on PS2 and Gamecube.

      They just published it, and it looks like it was developed by the studio that did Ty the Tasmanian Tiger.

    >SCARFACE: THE WORLD IS YOURS
    Playing now.
    The quality and attention to detail of the game is top notch
    Currently going for a 100% run.
    A game worth standing alongside GTA San Andreas.

                Scarface has the most ferocious chainsaw in gaming history

                If you want a unique weapon, Scarface has nothing fancy

              The PS2/Xbox/PC Godfather and Scarface games being good is one of the weirdest things ever.

                If a developer licenses an old movie to adapt into a game instead of a current one, they're probably passionate about it.

      my guilty pleasure

      playing through the whole trilogy with another team feels like going to kanto again in pokemon gold. also the ffx rpg style works pretty good. the only downside are some special moves taking forever.
