There are movies <\/a><\/strong>or TV series that could never be adapted to video games, or so we want to believe. Mean Girls’, ‘The Godfather’, ‘Dragon ball evolution’, ‘Jaws’, ‘White people can’t get it in’ or ‘Elf’, for example. The problem is that they made a videogame out of all of them without any kind of restrictions (not even, as you can imagine, the lack of quality). And this is the fate that Martin Scorsese’s masterpiece<\/strong> almost lived ten years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n

Are you talking to me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2012, Majesco announced that it would make Travis Bickle a playable character in the adaptation <\/a><\/strong>of ‘Taxi Driver’, which was intended to “stay true to the spirit” of the original film while being “a total entertainment experience<\/strong>“. Something is wrong there, not because the film version wasn’t great, which it was, but because no one would call it “total entertainment”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there were PS2, Xbox and the ever-eternal PC ready to receive the video game based on this masterpiece intended as a sort of sequel to celebrate its thirtieth anniversary<\/strong>. “Celebrate” is one way of putting it, of course. In the game, Travis would try to avenge Betsy’s death by entering the dark world of the New York mafia. Or, put another way, it would be a plagiarism of ‘GTA<\/a><\/strong>‘. Surely it has caught you by surprise, huh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
