When we talk about games based on movies, we often expect mediocre gameplay and a not-so-successful adaptation of a blockbuster movie. However, "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian - The Video Game" proves that you can create a fun, intriguing and engaging game based on a blockbuster movie. Graz was released in 2009 by Majesco Entertainment and the plot takes players into a fascinating and slightly surreal museum world.
The plot of "Night at the Museum 2" is inspired by the film of the same title, in which Ben Stiller played the main role. In the game, we play the role of Larry, who is trying to save the museum. However, unlike most film adaptations, the game offers much more than just cutscenes. It takes us into a whirl of adventures that allow us to explore rooms on our own and interact with museum exhibits.
"Night at the Museum 2" takes place in different historical eras. During the game, we can meet characters such as Amelia Earhart, Napoleon Bonaparte or the brash cowboy Jedidiah Smith, known from the first part of the film. It's a great way to learn history in an interactive and fun way.
All in all, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian - The Video Game is a title that proves that movie-based games don't always have to be disappointing. The game provides entertainment for players of all ages, thanks to the interesting museum world and humorous approach to history. Although several years have passed since its release, it still remains a gem in the field of games based on movies.
