Product Description:
You are unlikely to find much to enjoy in this game, even if you liked the movie.The elements that made the movie worthwhile--a compelling narrative wrapped in a bow of futuristic high-tech--are glossed over or absent from the game. What's more, the gameplay is as redundant and simplistic as the graphics are uneven. Worse yet, the game does not allow you to save midlevel (some levels are long), and the instruction manual contains no information on how to play the game, forcing you to play through the training course.
You play the game as John Anderton, an officer in the elite Precrime unit responsible for apprehending would-be murderers before they can commit the deed. Given these parameters, it's not surprising that not a lot of characters die in this game. But there's still plenty of violence. Anderton himself is quite adept at pummeling other officers, guards, robots, or anyone else who gets in his way. With a decent selection of kicks, punches, and combinations (you can purchase additional combos when you collect enough dollar signs), Anderton can beat his way through at least the beginning levels. But even with the ability to purchase additional moves, this slugfest soon becomes tiresome.
Minority Report does successfully represent parts of the movie, such as the concussion gun, the jet pack, and the spider bots. The first time you fire the concussion gun, for example, you'll be impressed with the way the space around Anderton ripples with the force of the weapon. (Unfortunately this rippling effect will also severely limit your ability to see what's going on in front of you.) Otherwise, the game levels are unimpressive. Character animation is poor--some characters have slotlike mouths and limbs that look like noodles.Minority Report is not great at re-creating the movie, and is even less successful when it breaks with it.--Bill Hummel

Amazon.com Product Description:
Based on Steven Spielberg's sci-fi thriller, Minority Report lets players assume the role of the movie's hero, precrime officer John Anderton, the head of an elite police squad that predicts murder and apprehends the would-be killers before the crimes can be committed. When Anderton is accused of a precrime murder, he's forced to elude the law to prove his innocence, while attempting to uncover an insidious conspiracy.

The positives:
There were some pretty cool levels with good graphics, like the Japanese Garden and the Fossil Room, the Robot Testing Grounds/Warehouse...
I liked the fight on the subway car but I thought it should have been longer - it was fun throwing defeated foes off of the moving subway! LOL
I liked some of the weapons, especially the Puke Grenades and the baseball bat which was surprisingly effective on many opponents (but not the robots!)...

I bought this game thinking that it would be spectacular. Boy was I wrong. While it has its fun moments, it is mostly monotonus and boring. The fighting system isn't bad, but the graphics are sub-par. The rest is just average. 3.5 Stars

When I heard of Minority Report the game, I thought it would be a lot like the movie. I was wrong. In the game, cops, guards, and robots try to kill you. Not knock you out kill you. You kill atleast 3000 people. In the movie like 1 guy died. I was disapointed.
