The Hunger Games Video Game





1. "I can’t help but believe that The Hunger Games won’t try to leverage its brand elsewhere once the films wrap, and I think that could include a very interesting type of video game."
2. "I think The Hunger Games is in a unique position to succeed, mostly because I’m already playing some form of it." 


In a world where the media beast decide to indulge in a 5-course meal, it was only a matter of time before the "Hunger Games" series makes its way to the video game market. With only one more movie to be released, critics are already talking about the "soon to come" video game.

Paul Tassi discusses how they would go about creating a successful "Hunger Games" video game to correspond with the movie. Many movies have previously tried to create a video game and have failed but Tassi believes that the great successes of the first three films are just foreshadowing the success of a video game.

When designing a game from a movie you must focus on one attribute of the film. In this case the game would be a replica of the actual Hunger Games that takes place within the movie. Just as they do in the movie, the player must create strategies and form alliances that will help them live. The movie is already a game, they will just need to replicate that into an interactive forum and use the same rules that the Capitol uses within the movie. The player would be living in an interactive Capitol that they will be able to create themselves.

In my opinion, I think that creation of this game would be a success and help raise revenue for Lionsgate and it would fix nicely next to the soundtracks, posters and movie "swag" that has already been created.
