Originally, I was playing this game on PS4, but then my console kinda died so I decided to upgrade to PS5 and continue finishing this game... yeah, that didn't happen because this game is a broken mess on PS5. So I just went ahead and played it on PS2, and I'm glad I did.

I was enjoying this game from the moment I started playing, being a fan of the movie, I can safely say it's one of the best movie adaptations ever made - and this game goes above in beyond in serving as a prequel AND an adaptation of the film. Gameplay wise, it's probably the most raw and brutal combat I have ever experienced in a game. Every punch you throw has weight and it genuinely feels like a ruthless street fight every time someone throws hands at you. R* really outdid themselves with this game. Even the music keeps in tone with the setting of the film.

If you liked the movie or just like beat em ups in general, you are doing yourself a disservice by skipping out on this masterpiece. Yes, the movement feels a little clunky at times but it's not enough to take away from the charm and fun that this game radiates. Just... don't buy this game on PS5. It's broken and probably won't be fixed anytime soon.
