The Godfather is hands-down one of the best films ever made and certainly the best in terms of mob movies. It will easily last for ages in cinematic history but I'm unsure if it ever needed to be adapted into a game.
I love games. I love this business. I have high hopes about what is being done and what can be done but seeing adaptations like Scarface and The Godfather strikes me as nothing more than an attempt to cash in. And what the hell were they thinking making JAWS into a game??
When a developer enters into the great cinematic vault in search of the perfect film-to-game adaptation I can think of so many and none of them would have been The Godfather. Some movies you just don't mess with. But if you do intend to go ahead and pillage a famous film a necessity should be that you have something significant to offer the player that the movie didn't offer.
So, for those of you considering the next big film-to-console venture do have a care and avoid tampering with the greats, will ya?
Here are a few you should steer clear of:
Platoon
Apocalypse Now
The Untouchables
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Blade Runner
King Kong (for shame Mr. Jackson!)
Feel free to add to this list.
Which films would you prefer never be adapted into a game?

Movies that shouldn't be made in video games... I would say... Slap shot.. but it's probably not for the same reasons you would protect the others =^;^=
