As commander of the team, gamers are on the hunt to stop criminals before they can commit their crimes. However, when the tables are turned and Anderton becomes a wanted man, players are thrust into the adventure of their lives against one-time allies in a quest to clear their name and stop an even graver conspiracy before it’s too late.

Minority Report propels players through more than 40 levels, as they battle human and robotic enemies with hand-to-hand combat moves and an explosive arsenal of weapons, including riot shotguns, concussion rifles and electro-pulse grenades. With a full range of cinematic action abilities and a hyper-realistic rigid-body physics system, players can vault over barricades, throw enemies through plate glass windows and don Jet Packs to fly through environments and avoid pursuers.
