    Why do software developers continue to create games based upon movies? No matter how much the studio offers you to make it, just say no. Almost every single time it's a dud. Boring gameplay for a relatively decent movie. Let the movie do its own business and stop selling out to make a few extra bucks. It will lend more credibility to you to develop original games rather than movie knock offs.… Expand

    It pains me to say this, but turn off your TV and just read the book or head to your local theater. This is a story everyone must experience, just don't try interacting with it.

    The ideas aren't all bad and on paper this must have sounded like a rich and promising game. However, the game far overreaches itself and the coding, visuals and execution of those ideas is comprehensively unpolished.

    There's not really much more to say about the game other than just ranting about our horrible experience with it. Surely, that would bore you, our respected readers. We're actually somewhat sorry that you're being exposed to this game in the first place. Please, look elsewhere for gaming if you want to do yourselves a favor.
