Mad Max, Jurassic World, and more: Grading this summer’s movie-based games

This year’s batch of summer blockbusters took us on quite a trip. We drove through the blood-soaked Fury Road, attended a theme park filled with hungry prehistoric creatures, and traveled with former arcade champions as they defended the world from Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.

Now that the summer movie season is over, it’s time to take a look at how well developers captured the stories and action scenes from the big screen. Over the past few months, I watched all the big films (stuffing my face with way too much popcorn) and played the games based on them. Since I’m not sticking to GamesBeat’s usual review guidelines, these are just brief impressions of what each licensed game is like, followed by a simple report card-style scoring system.
