Default Faithful Video Game Characters

Everyone talks about comic book characters being faithful as far as looks go, but what about video games character? What video game character do you think looked the most faithful when adapted to the big screen; or at least the one you think looked the best?

Cary Tagowa in Mortal Kombat. Don't care for the film, but he plays Shang Tsung wonderfully. As does the late Trevor Goddard who plays Kano.

I guess Liu Kang (Robin Shou), Shang Tsung (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) and Raiden (Christopher Lambert)

The Mortal Kombat characters were all pretty faithful character wise. And as much as people hate on Street Fighter, you have to admit that they got the looks of all the characters down pat.

Most of the actors in the first Mortal Kombat. Whoever the actress was in the second Resident Evil that was playing Claire Redfield. Wasn't good at acting but looked the part.

You mean Jill Valentine. And yes, she looked exactly like the video game counterpart. One of the guys in the first Resident Evil movie kind of looked like Chris Redfield from CVX.
