They don't carry them at Toschi Station (note: It's been years since I've watched ANH. Toschi Station might very well be in Anchorhead, for all I can remember)?

but video games based on movies always suck.

the game makers think that by basing a game on a popular movie that they will get a load of easy sells from the 'fan boy' demographic but i don't see how this can work when every gamer i know and most that i have ever talked to, stay away from movie games as if they were nothing but 32 bits bird flu.

its always been this way. anyone remember ET?

sure there have been a hand full of good movie games. but it is a very small hand full ( more like a pinch really ).

but i know your right.

Making a good video game is hard, period. Making a video game that falls under the license of another media is doubly so.

A license game can have great leeway and freedom with it's scope and content, unlimited access to production materials, the ability to get the actors to provide voice and (if necessary) Motion capture for the animations in the game, and direct access to the writers and creative minds behind the parent series.

And still end up like the Matrix Game(not the MMO, which has it's own share of problems).

By butchering it as it turns out :P There was one really memorable quote. Robert Bloch said "It was a dark day in Hollywood when producers discovered Roman numerals."

Truer words have never been said.
That reminds me of a similar experemeint a bunch of sci-fi writers tried. To prove that this Print on Demand service that claimed it had some "high standards" for publishing was a bunch of BS. They got together and attempted to write the most turgid, horribly written book they could imagine and try to get it published through them. They got accepted...

One could argue that making something as bad as it could possibly be is a form of art... :roll:
