    In terms of visual presentation the game is a total letdown, with flawed 3D graphics that even at their best are not all that striking or impressive.

    Proves once again that the name of a popular movie and even the likeness and voice talent of its star aren't nearly enough to make an otherwise bland and uninteresting game seem enjoyable.

    The game is so mind-numbingly boring I drifted asleep while playing. [Nov 2002, p.188]

    Suffers from mostly drab visuals, poor animation, and a level design that might have looked good in King Tut's day. [27 Sept 2002]

    SK’s controls are quite a bit choppy and jumpy; the game is so far from responsive it should be a crime.
