The Operator shows War of the Worlds would have been so much better as a video game

The article compares the upcoming War of the Worlds (2025) film adaptation to the video game The Operator, suggesting that the former would have been better received if it had been developed as a video game. The article argues that The Operator, a game that allows players to experience the invasion of Earth from the perspective of the alien invaders, would have been a more effective way to adapt the classic H.G. Wells story. The Operator's interactive format and immersive gameplay are seen as more suitable for the narrative than a traditional film adaptation. The article concludes that while the War of the Worlds (2025) film is expected to be poorly received, a video game version could have been a much more engaging and successful interpretation of the original story.
