    Just another first person shooter. It’s not a bad game, but it’s not a great game either. As far as first-person shooters go, this one seems to be a bit lackluster.

    A technically sound game that exudes banality.

    Its gameplay is well below today's standard for console FPS. Horribly clunky hand-to-hand fighting also rears its ugly head. [Jan 2004, p.135]

    What an awful game this is. Its gameplay isn't executed that well, the controls aren't good, the graphics are awful and it lacks the conceptWhat an awful game this is. Its gameplay isn't executed that well, the controls aren't good, the graphics are awful and it lacks the concept of the film. Another thing that makes this game are the fighting levels, these parts are terrible and choppy; this fails to be a good game for the least part of it. Even Centipede and Space Invaders being added extras couldn't save this garbage.… Full Review »

    What made me do all the missions of this crap was simply the aim that is automatic because if it weren't for it the game would be unplayableWhat made me do all the missions of this crap was simply the aim that is automatic because if it weren't for it the game would be unplayable since the gameplay is bad the animations,
