Perfect timing. I have a long drive tonight, now I have company en-route! Thanks guys.

"Are all movie licensed games bad?"  Well no.  I'm still not sure why that was ever the general opinion.  There have always been great games based on movies amongst the bad ones.  Are all racing games bad because a lot of them aren't much good?  Are all fighting games bad cos of all the countless lousy wannabe-Street Fighters that popped up particularly during the 90's?


I may have a listen over the weekend.

To be honest I feel the same but not everyone has the same tastes as me. Obviously there has been some awful movie licensed games over the years but there has also been some real gems too.
