I don't understand why there aren't more reviews of this game. It's strange how the cost went from $60 to $20 recently. I loved the movie, it was extremely entertaining.

There are some cons to this game, the graphics are lacking, which is not a big deal for me, the controls can be off at times and a bit unresponsive, and there are some areas of the game which are just downright frustrating. Believe me, I let the expletives fly! But I picked...Read more
