Reception
The game received mainly negative reviews from critics. Common issues cited were its poor graphics, bland gameplay, and a general feeling of lackluster design. 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. This became one of the main criticisms leveled at the game - the idea that John Anderton was an officer charged with preventing murder, yet himself engaging in rampant beatings and throwing people to their deaths throughout the game, which was completely at odds with the theme of both the film and general concept. X-Play described 90% of the game as throwing people through windows when they discussed Xbox 360 backwards compatibility in one episode.
