    Well its a good game, and i like the way you get to do Acrobatic stunts through out the game and they never get old. But the story is kinda cheesy.

In one level, Aeon may be protecting Chairman Goodchild, while in another level; she may be attempting to assassinate him. Additionally, the developer has taken painstaking steps to religiously recreate the world originally envisioned by Peter Chung. The game features all of Aeon's triple-jointed signature moves and Aeon's notorious FUG (Flex Universal Gun) complete with four varieties of ammo and the ability to ascend and descend via grapple function. While the game's aesthetics and design is spot on to the franchises distinct style, gameplay teeters between fluidly fast-pace action and insanely difficult and tedious game segments. Firstly, almost all of the back-story is told through collecting and viewing Intel Capsules. The process of accessing and reading screens of Intel Capsule text cancels out the engrossing aspects of gameplay and rips your attention away from identifying with the heroine. Moreover, many of the mini-puzzles peppered throughout the game are absurdly difficult. For instance, Aeon may be tasked to lower a shield barrier to enable her compatriots to escape the area. To lower the shield, Aeon has to guide her Orb device through an insane obstacle course to the shield access port in two different locations. By the time you actually access the first port your compatriots will have already been riddled with gun fire--repeat level, add nauseam. If you're a fan of Aeon Flux, this game will be an enjoyable romp; otherwise, you should pick this title up at your own risk."
    all i'm going to say is why even call it aeon flux in the first place? when they're trying so hard to be not follow any of the source material and trying to be based it on the movie that btw had nothing to do with aeon flux as a whole. it's sad that this is the only aeon flux game that we're stuck with bcuz the ps1 version that actually followed the source material and anime closely was canceled.    … Expand

    It’s an interesting set up that's attempted, but in its execution it feels far too detached and fragmented to provide a satisfying narrative experience. Buy this game if you like well designed jumping puzzles mixed in with some decent combat sequences.

    While the plot and motivation spazzes out all over the place, linking the narratives of the animated series and the contemporary movie (literally highlighting different ages and generations), the gameplay is consistently solid.

    A very cool game indeed. Stacked up against other movie-based games, it can hold its own with the best of them an it actually makes me more interested in the upcoming film (free ticket or not).
