In Minority Report you play as John Anderton, an officer in the elite Pre-crime unit responsible for apprehending would-be murderers before they can commit the deed. Given these parameters, it's not surprising that not a lot of characters die in this game--but there's still plenty of violence. Anderton himself is quite adept at pummelling other officers, guards, robots or anyone else who gets in his way. With a decent selection of kicks, punches and combinations (you can purchase additional combos when you collect enough dollar signs), Anderton can beat his way through at least the beginning levels. 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:  Awful....simply awful., 2004-09-09
I loved Spider-man....and this is no spider-man. Kept losing my saves from the crappy memory card so id always start from scratch. just found cheats for it on gamefaqs.com for invincibility and infinite ammo so i thought id go back to it.
It took just over 4 hours on easy mode with these cheats on and there is no way id have completed it without them. Its so hard. Its not as gripping as Max Payne 2 and has possibly the weakest ending of any game ive played. Trying not to spoil it here, but it finishes with a whimper more than a big revelation. If youve seen the film, you know how it ends...but the game understandably cant end the same way....but Pre-crime dont learn anything from the whole Minority Report thing which ruined what limited pleasure i had taken from playing it. The story mode is nothing like the film after level 20 or so....so dont expect big things. There are 40, YES 40 levels of monotiny. Glad i got it 2nd hand on the cheap coz it be devastated if i payed top dollar for it. The graphics are pretty good, but it doesnt have that x-factor that makes it a pick up and play classic. If you want it, get it on the cheap...at least you wont feel too cheated.  Minority Roport - Gripping, 2003-05-24
Whatever people say about Minority Report as a rip off game i feel is irrelevant. This game has an excellent plot, with great action. If you have seen the movie i feel that it will apeal to you more than if you haven't, but even if you haven't i believe it will still apeal.
Highly enjoyable and very addictive. The reason for giving it 4 stars it that there are no extra features outside the main game, except the learn to fight and fly options.
