Minority Report: Everybody Runs is a sloppy movie tie-in that attempts to blend beat 'em up action with chase sequences inspired by the film. Unfortunately, the game suffers from repetitive combat, frustrating camera angles, a generic story, and awkward jetpack segments. While it occasionally offers brief moments of chaotic fun, those are heavily outweighed by uninspired design and poor execution.
this game is a fucking disaster and I will never force myself to complete it legitimately, but with enough cheats turned on it turns into a goofy ass ragdollfest that I feel compelled to laugh at every few years
This thoroughly awful game with its repetetive and boring melee combat, damage sponge enemies and distinct lack of any charm whatsoever narrowly avoids half a star because it does have funny destructive environments that you can ragdoll people into.
My copy didn't work so I went into the disc repair shop near me. They fixed up, so I went home, popped it into my Gamecube, and regretted my life decisions
I was really worried about revisiting Minority Report, mostly due to the awful reviews it received from critics after its launch. But honestly? Not bad at all.
There are lots of things that stand out about Everybody Runs, but mostly that the ragdoll physics are quite good. Your primary weapon is some sort of blowback rifle that you can use to toss enemies around. There are rooftop levels where you can shoot people off the side of ledges, which is genuinely jolly fun. You even have a selection of melee combos you can execute, or if you're really not in the mood to learn those, you can just pick people up and toss them off of roofs. Or just throw them into each other.
The OST is also an absolute fuckin' banger. Easily the best part of this game. Particularly the main menu theme, Sprawl Riot, and Danny Witwer are great tracks. The opening of Sprawl Riot is unforgettable and when it plays in game you just kind of have no choice but to be taken over by vibes and fuck everyone up.
Everybody Runs is also at its best with cheats on. If you intend to play, use cheats. Give yourself infinite ammo, extra armor, all the weapons, and an easy way to regain health. You can try to play this game legit if you want, but it's honestly quite hard. There are certain levels that I could not have done without cheats.
It's also hilarious that in this game, you're playing a character who's trying to prove they're not going to murder anyone... while simultaneously murdering hundreds upon hundreds of thugs, swat, and future crime police by blowing them to bits with rocket launches, tossing them off of roofs, or shotgunning them in the face. Ahh yes, I'm very innocent thank you.
Also, it's really funny that this is like a B-movie-ification of Minority Report. It's like an alternate universe version where this movie was the most schlocky shit imaginable. It turns a thought provoking science fiction masterpiece into a shitty action movie full of one-liners. It's genuinely bizarre.
Overall, the game ain't bad. It has a lot going for it that take what would have been otherwise a completely unremarkable game and make it a mix of so-bad-it's-good and ridiculous fun.

I did a blind race of this game and sat alone in a corner of the AGDQ game room and was really bored so I stopped and went to do literally anything else
