Line 162:
*** And in turn, it's been hailed as the sequel ''[[Freedom Fighters (video game)|Freedom Fighters]]'' has never gotten.
* The ''[[S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (series)|STALKER]]'' games are an almost absurdly obvious example of this for classic Russian science fiction novel ''[[Roadside Picnic]]'' and its [[Film of the Book]], ''[[Stalker]]''.
* Subversion: ''Dynamite Deka'', a 3D [[Beat'Em Up|beat-'em-up]] for the arcades and [[Sega Saturn]] released in Japan, was heavily inspired by the ''[[Die Hard]]'' films to the point that the game's main character, Bruno Delinger, [[No Celebrities Were Harmed|bore more than a passing resemblance]] to [[Bruce Willis
** Note that the sequel ''Dynamite Cop'', the international version of ''Dynamite Deka 2'', did not retain the ''Die Hard'' license.
*** ''Dynamite Cop'' is the best game adaption of ''[[Under Siege]]'' or ''[[Speed]] 2'' we will ever see in our lifetime.
Line 227:
* ''[[Aquaria (video game)|Aquaria]]'' is essentially ''[[Ecco the Dolphin]]'' with a mermaid and a little [[Metroidvania]].
* ''[[Neutopia]]'' is the original ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' had it been made for the [[Turbo Grafx 16]] instead of the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]].
* According to [[wikipedia:Vanquish
* ''[[The Adventures of Bayou Billy]]'' is all but a ''[[Crocodile Dundee]]'' game, having an obvious [[Captain Ersatz]] player character and a plot suspiciously like ''Crocodile Dundee II''.
* ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops|Call of Duty Black Ops]]'' is sometimes considered a Spiritual Prequel to ''[[The Rock]]'', spelling out Gen. Hummel's 60's era adventures. It even borrows some of the elements of that movie, namely {{spoiler|a plot to attack the USA with face-melting green gas, a reveal of the truth of the JFK assassination, and American commandos being "disappeared" or forgotten by the government.}}
