I tried (and failed) to add this as a concept, so here goes-  what Licensed games do you actually consider to be decent, or even good or great games?

A small list of mine, mostly of 8-16bit era:

Capcom:
Duck Tales
Chip & Dale
Aladdin

Virgin:
Cool Spot
Lion King

Rare:
Goldeneye

Sunsoft:
Batman

LucasArts:
A lot of Star Wars stuff. 
Indiana Jones stuff

Konami:
TMNT stuff (except the first one, perhaps)
Tiny Toons

It's just good to see some games that take the license and in stead of shovelware, really make it good. I remember being really disappointed as kid when some franchise I really liked was turned to a god-awful game (most of Looney Toons stuff, Knight Rider, I'm looking at you).
Anything fun I've missed?

Also, after all the years of making license-based games, where hell is

THE MACGYVER GAME

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay was a very good game. Much better than the movie it  was released alongside.

These are the ones that jump to mind:

• Sam & Max (LucasArts & Telltale)
• Wallace & Gromit (Telltale)
• Kingdom Hearts (Square-Enix)

There was a surprisingly decent Discworld game released quite a while ago.  The Wheel of Time game was pretty good in its day, but I haven't played it in a while.  Straight out of the box, Vampire - The Masquerade: Bloodlines is almost unplayable, but once it's patched up, it's an amazing game.  Most pen and paper games tend to translate pretty decently to video games, like D&D.  I'd love to see a halfway-decent Rifts game somewhere down the line.

King Kong.
Yes, it was good.

is Kingdom Hearts really a "licensed" game?
I mean, it HAS licensed characters in it, but it's in an entirely different universe, with an entirely different story.

• Batman: Arkham Asylum 
• Afro Samurai (yes, it was a solid hack and slash that did a good job w/ the mythology)
• Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic/Rouge Squadron/Shadows of the Empire
• Might have the wrong name but Mickey and Donald and the Castle of Illusion for the Genesis, excellent two-player platforming that FORCED you to work together and help each other over come obstacles.
• Power Rangers: The Movie: The Game SNES - another great side scrolling beat em up, fully co-op.
  

I use to enjoy the Toy Story game on my SNES when I was 5, but I'm not sure if it would hold up now.

X-men Origins: Wolverine is a good looking if poorly made game (it crashed everyday I played it). But God almighty that game is a lot of fun! Sticking claws into a guys throat stamping on his foot then popping his head off never gets old.

• Star Wars Force Unleashed for the consoles, not the pc 
• Batman Forever for the Snes and Genesis 
• Batman: Arkham Asylum 
• Knights of the Old Republic
