The LEGO games based on popular media (Indiana Jones, Batman, Star Wars) are pretty darn fun to play! Man I should play those games again…
 
I concur with Sparks, with my favourite LEGO game being Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues, but I also love LIJ1 and Lego Batman 1 and 3

Beetle Adventure Racing
A racing game for the N64 made solely to promote Volkswagen's New Beetle. It's developed by the Pilotwings 64 guys and it has no business being as good as it is, has probably the best track design for the N64, they're all huge and absolutely filled with shortcuts and alt paths.

Cars 2
It's an excellent movie licensed game. It's a multiplayer weapons-based racing game very very similar to Mario Kart yet still mechanically robust and very fun to play (love drifting, driving backwards, driving on two wheels to fill a boost meter) with very fun tracks. I'd say it's much much much more fun to play than watching the movie itself.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
You can beat Kylo Ren up with an astromech droid. Nuff said.

I'm a fan of anything Disney including Ducktales, and Spongebob, but I don't know much about Asterix and Obelix. Is it any good?

One of the XXL games has a reputation of having very very very weird video game references (and not even surface level ones, they referenced Quake, Jak and Daxter, Crash, and even fucking Soul Calibur), I think it's XXL 2.

I haven't played the games but I'm a huge fan of the comics, they're obscure for some reason in the United States and I still can't fathom why.

There's a hidden Spyro reference in one of the Asterix and Obelix games-an actual stone carving of him. No I'm not making this up; there are screenshots of it. I can't remember which game it was though.
 
I grew up playing SpongeBob on the GBA. My first video game (and the reason I got my GBA to begin with) was Supersponge, and my childhood is filled with memories of it, Revenge of the Flying Dutchman, Battle for Bikini Bottom and the Movie game. The latter 2 have gotten some degree of recognition but not the GBA versions that I played, nobody remembers any of them. They're all 2D platformers and were my introduction to the genre, before Mario. They're not the best games in the world but they're not bad either. I wish more people appreciated them.
 
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay. That was a bloody surprisingly solid title by Starbreeze and Tigon Studios.
 
The licensed game territory is prone to having exploitative products meant to cash in on an IP, especially during the 2000s-2010s, but it's haste to write off all of it as slop.

For instance, there are several fantastic Star Wars games including Star Wars Rogue Squadron II Rogue Leader and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. We also have several fantastic Spider-Man games such as Spider-Man 2, we have Batman Arkham Asylum, we have Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Honestly, I think while the movie-tie in stuff are relegated to the mobile market there has been genuine higher production efforts focused on licenses, including Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Marvel (to varying degrees of success, we got games like Shadow of Mordor, Hogwarts Legacy, but we got flops like Suicide Squad and Marvel Avengers, we don't speak about that Gollum game).

Gollum has been an endless source of entertainment, lol, I love being reminded that it exists, basically the Ride to Hell of the 2020's.
 
I like Toy Story 3 for the Wii and Madagascar 2: Escape Africa, also for the Wii. I grew up playing those games.
 
I have Cars: Race-O-Rama, Toy Story 3, Madagascar 2: Escape Africa, and Chicken Little: Ace In Action all for the Wii.
 
I LOVE the Lego games because they are very funny, have good gameplay and have massive amounts of characters.

Yeah, there are a lot of good licenced games out there overshadowed by all the slop.

Same, but they're also pretty popular where i'm from, so I think that it's a case of export issues.
 
ratatouille video game wii (it's my first favorie, it was kinda hard for me when i was a kid. but it's still my favorie), spongebob battle for bottom ps2 (i don't have ps2, but i played it at Shopping when i was a kid. not just spongbob bfb ps2 but i also been played shadow the hedgehog ps2 too), DuckTales: Remastered (i've played this on phone in 2015) and toy story 3 for psp (i've played this on my phone [just becuase of ppsspp, you can play psp games on phone. not just it but also pc too])
