When I got this game I thought "Hm, this will be a cool little beat 'em up game" but no. All you do is run around collecting glyphs (which is apparently puzzle solving) and shooting everything in sight. The enemies are unbalanced in many levels, and those darn skeletons won't die! The first two levels were boring, because all you did was run around and the rest of it was frustratingly repetitive. You do get to meet some cool characters like Jekyll/Hyde, but you can't be them... Another thing is that the control scheme is a little confusing at first, but you can get used to it. This game reminds me of some kind of arcade game you play for 25cents, yet this game is 200 x's more expensive (I bought cheap...)
Pros:
The grappling hook is fun to use.
Cons:
Bad music.
No true form of puzzle solving.
Enemies are unbalanced, dumb, and annoying.
Story is boring.
Password saves! Yay!
Just say no to this game!

    I made the mistake of buying this game, because i thought the movie was awesome. This game is absolutely crap. It's incredibly easy to finish, (I managed ot finish it the day i bought it) and it is extremely repetitive.... Read Full Review
