Minority Report: Everybody Runs (also known as just Minority Report) is a beat 'em up video game released for the Game Boy Advance, PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube. It is loosely based on the film Minority Report.

Gameplay

Minority Report: Everybody Runs is a beat 'em up game that spans 40 levels. Its main selling point is the ragdoll physics engine, with highly exaggerated effects to enhance interaction with the environment. Enemies thrown against walls or railings will strike or fold over them in a semi-realistic fashion, and will often smash through breakable objects. The player can also use futuristic weapons, both those featured in the movie and new ones created especially for the game by Activision. There are also a few levels which incorporate the use of a jetpack, allowing Anderton to fly around the environment.

A major aspect connecting the video game to the movie is that, in the film, protagonist Anderton believes that he has been framed for a future murder and sets out to prove his innocence. In line with the film as well, Anderton never uses lethal force against criminals or the cops that chase him, all weapons either render the opposition unconscious or incapacitated. However the game does not use the likenesses of the actors from the movies, with the player character being voiced by Clancy Brown as well as looking like him.

John Anderton is a former PreCrime officer turned man on the run, after the "PreCogs" predict him murdering Roy Verhagen, a man he has never even heard of. The player treks through different parts of Washington DC, from the PreCrime HQ to the slums and factory areas, to clear John's name and solve the mystery behind his future murder.
