Of all the crazes and gimmicks that have had their time in video game history, full-motion-video (FMV) has never been one that I expected to make a comeback. There was a time when it seemed like the greatest invention of all, as the implementation of FMV in games meant that we could finally witness the combination of a digital world with our own. After all, what's more realistic than actual footage of real people?

For the longest time, any game built on the reputation of some other form of media, tends to make a big old mess of things.

So why would anyone make a game based on a movie that came out 25 years ago?
