Minority Report (PS2)

Unfortunately, you are unlikely to find much to enjoy in Minority Report, even if you liked the film. The elements that made the movie worthwhile--a compelling narrative wrapped up with a high-tech, futuristic bow--are glossed over or absent from the game. What's more, the gameplay is as redundant and simplistic as the graphics are uneven. Worse yet, the game does not allow you to save mid-level (some levels are long), and the instruction manual contains no information about how to play the game, forcing you to play through the training course.

Minority Report does successfully represent some parts of the movie, such as the concussion gun, the jet pack and the spider bots. The first time you fire the concussion gun, for example, you'll be impressed with the way the space around Anderton ripples with the force of the weapon. Otherwise, the game levels are unimpressive and character animation is poor. Minority Report is not great at recreating the movie, and is even less successful when it breaks with it. --Bill Hummel

Customer reviews:

This game is awful, but pure bizarre fun, 2008-07-07
This game is terrible, but so so fun. Throwing fat cops down off ledges and buildings through dozens of panes of glass and into kitchen utensils, grenades that make people vomit. Bad wobly graphics, but this somehow makes Minority Report even more enjoyable, good in all the ways its not trying to be. But honestly, the joy of literaly throwing people 20 feet in front of you as they comicaly snap their bones on stairs and cupboards and wrap their spine around footwalk banister before kicking them them another 10 feet out of a 50 story building, the bad guys literaly fly and float into sharp objetcs, and theres no blood!a surreal, childishly sadistic game. John Anderton, based on tom cruise, hilariously is an old man with white hair. The story is bad, voices are even worse, guns from the film are in the game and they can do pretty cool stuff as you buy them off the black market. A large amount of hand to hand combos and you unlock more as your procceed in the game. It does get repetitive but just having it on one side knowing if you havent played it in ages theres instant fun to be had. This is the BEST bad cheap tacky game I have ever played.

Buy the other game!, 2008-04-02
I purchased this game because of the two good reviews and I was bitterly dissapointed. This game is so bad, I had enough of it within the first 15 minutes.

Please, for your own good, stay away from this game!
