The game did not sell well and was named in the top ten worst video games in [[Nintendo Power]] magazine (issue 100); however, it was noted within the issue that the game was not entirely awful, but the concept itself was deemed ridiculous by many and thus was a part of the criticisms of the game itself. It features [[Michael Jordan]], though unlike the similarly themed ''[[Shaq Fu]]'', it is a [[2D computer graphics|2D]] [[Platform game|platformer]] along the lines of [[Mario]].

The game played much like other 2D platformers of its time, collecting keys and defeating enemies with a variety of different techniques. The player controls Michael Jordan on a quest to save the rest of the players for an All-Star charity game, who have all been kidnapped. The player attacks enemies using different [[Basketball (ball)|basketball]]s, each with its own ability; for example, the freeze ball can freeze the ground and create a slippery surface, the bomb ball makes a large explosion, and so on. The player must find keys throughout the game to unlock different doors and rescue teammates. Michael can also [[slam dunk]] for a secondary attack. This is also used to activate powerup baskets and various checkpoints along the way.

Minority Report: Everybody Runs is a video game published by Activision in 2002, playable on the Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and PlayStation 2 platforms. It is loosely based on the film Minority Report.

Plot

The player assumes the role of John Anderton, a man on the run after "Pre-Cogs" predict him murdering a man named Leo Crow. The player treks through different parts of Washington DC, from the Pre-Crime HQ to the slums and factory areas, to clear John's name and solve the mystery behind his murder accusation.

Gameplay

Minority Report: Everybody Runs uses ragdoll physics to make the fighting much more realistic. You can also use futuristic weapons both from the movie and by Activision. All weapons in the game are non-lethal due to the world being completely murder-free.

Weapons

Some weapons used in Minority Report: Everybody Runs are made up by Activision and some by the movie. All weapons are Non-Lethal. They are as follows:

  • Concussion Rifle - A small one-handed gun that works almost like a sawed-off shotgun; fires a concentrated blast of air that blows your enemies back so hard that it knocks them out.
  • Riot Shotgun - A miniature, futuristic version of the common Bean-Bag Shotgun that fires small pellets that instantaneously render the subject unconscious. Both the recoil and pump action make this gun very slow.
  • Riot Machinegun - A small, almost Pistol-Like machine-gun that fires bullets that make the subject convulse and eventually lose consciousness.
  • WASP - A gun that fires small rockets powered with an electric current shocking the subject and rendering the subject unconscious.
  • Puke Grenade - A rocket-launcher that fires grenades which emit a green gas that makes the subject involuntarily vomit and render them dazed and confused. This enables the player to grab the subject by the neck and throw them. In the levels "Everybody Runs" and some of the riot levels, most of the innocents dry heave and never vomit, but they are rendered dazed and confused.
  • Grenade Launcher - A rocket launcher that fires a small rocket which, when it explodes, knocks every person in that immediate area unconscious with a non-lethal blast.
  • Baseball Bat - A cheat weapon given to the player when they enter the code Slugger into the cheat mainframe. This is the only semi-lethal weapon in the game.

Voice actors

The voice cast includes Clancy Brown as John Anderton, Quinton Flynn as Danny Witwer, and Daran Norris as Leo Crow.

Reception

The game was not well received by many gaming critics. In June 2006, X-Play named it as one of the worst Playstation 2 games of all time.

However, Nintendo Power frequently mentioned how fun throwing Pre-Crime officers through glass windows was for several months after the game's release. The feature was later named "Best Guilty Pleasure" in the magazine's annual awards.

X-Play said that 90% of the game is throwing people through windows when they talked about Xbox 360 backwards compatibility on one of the episodes.
