    This is the epitomy of a movie tie-in hack job. Low production values, monotonous gameplay, and lackluster visuals make this a story you can jump past.

    The storyline is completely uninteresting and suffers from pacing issues, every last battle feels identical - and that includes the lame boss encounters - and combat is all about jamming on the same buttons.

    A boring, unrefined, too-short brawler that you'll forget the second you eject the disc. We've already gone blank; what were we talking about?

    This is one of the most incompetent and worst action titles ever released for the PS2, thanks to its boring storyline and monotonous gameplayThis is one of the most incompetent and worst action titles ever released for the PS2, thanks to its boring storyline and monotonous gameplay design. It gets boring fast and never gets any good. It just continuously falls flat on its face which is disappointing because it had such great potential to be had. Too bad it was completely wasted in this forgettable bargain bin title. Do not buy it, let it rot in the bargain bin.… Expand
