Default Simpsons over Stranglehold

I seen that the Simpsons beat out Stranglehold for game based on a movie/tv show. Whats the general concensus put there? From what i have heard i figured Stra should win? Or is The Simpsons really that good.

I haven't played either, but The Simpsons looks better than Stanglehold(which looks like a complete Max Payne ripoff). Neither are my cup of tea though.

Both are just mediocre games so it's a contest in futility.

The Simpsons is actually is pretty damn good for one play through. I'm not sure if anyone will want to play it multiple times. They picked the worst possible scene to show as a demo, as the rest of the game is nothing like that.

i dont think the people chosing the winners have actually played any of the games the just go based of what they heard or what they think is probably better... all they give a **** about is the show anyways

I played the Stranglehold demo and thought it was weak. Regarding The Simpsons I played it, beat it and wrote a review about it.

Preach...
Its a Mp clone alright
and they ripped off the concept of the movie scene type special effects as special attacks from Viewtiful Joe
I just h8 games that are to much like others unless its executed flawlessly or atleast better than the game there swagger jackin

I dont see the point behind movie games. You know that its going to mimic the storyline of the film you already saw... so where is the excitement. In order for a movie game to be 'good' it would need epic gameplay, I dont honestly see that happening anytime soon since movie titles are usually rush released to cushion the blow if the film bombs at the box office... lol theres my rant.

I finished Simpsons Game over the weekend....................it was a terrible tv/movie tie-in game only with better than usual writing.

Stranglehold is a fun game (for the 6 hours it lasts) but it's just a prettier version of Dead to Rights on original Xbox.

Doesn't surprise me that that simpson game was horrible....you have to play the classics like; Simpsons:Road Rage...or Simpsons Wrestling
