The Great Gatsby is one of my favourite pieces of American literature. I don't even know how this can exist. It just makes no sense. It would be like making Jabberwocky Kart Racing or something.
The worst thing is it doesn't seem to be that bad a platformer either!
`Twas brillig, and the slithy tovekarts
Did gyre and gimble at the start wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe the bloody turtle shell.
My favorite example of weird adaptions is STALKER/Roadside Picnic. It started out as a sci-fi novel about an alien invasion. Then Tarkovsky made an excellent movie adaption that never explained what the cause of the anomalies was, and mostly served to explore philosophy and the human condition. Years later, it was turned into a first person shooter/horror (sort of) game.
They're making a TV show based off of the game now.
