Amazing game loosely follows the plot of the epic 1963 movie, no one is selling this game digitally, what better place to have it available digitally than on GOG DRM free?
I love the movie and this was the second video game I ever played. The controls never worked on the computer I first played it on so I could never get past the intro until I inherited the game and installed it on my own computer. I played the game so much I was able to kill every kill-able enemy NPC on every level. The best part about it is the ending is what everyone wanted to happen to the real people and not what actually happened to them in the movie so it’s a happy ending to the story I’ll never have with either the real story or the movie.

A true classic from the OG Xbox era imo. It was jank, had bad graphics, but it was based on the movie and was unique in a sense. It may have not been a groundbreaking game by any means but it was a good time!

Occasionally during gameplay the character will transform into vehicle, and the player must control them to reach one point, destroying obstacles on the way. Offline co-op is also featured. The game delivers only 6 levels and a couple challenges.
