Harsh? No. I am kind of happy to play a really bad game, since all of the games I have reviewed have been pretty good. Most hack-and-slash games have been good, the gameplay being amusing for the first time you play it. There is not a fun element in this game. The graphics are pretty smooth, but stink in detail. The enemies movements are terrible. They act like crash dummies, and don't fall down all of the time when you hit them. The sound is very unnoticeable. Nothing special. It's not fun. The controls are stiff and sloppy. The camera angles stink. The story line is almost just like the movie. Is it even worth enough to rent? Stay away form it. The game is just as bad as my review on this game. "As bad as the Rock's acting." -Niloc
