This is a horribly animated screen where the target is walking next to someone you're not supposed to kill. You then tap on your target where there is a giant, unshaking target reticule. Tap to shoot. The person dies. Repeat this about 6 times. Game over. I've made it sound more interesting than it is.

Well, it's a promotional game (for a movie, right?). Still, they could have at least spent 5 minutes to turn it into a mediocre carnival-shooter type game.

It's a promotional game, and it's free now, but I paid for it, and I've played plenty of good promotional games. This is literally a waste of time.

I was agreeing with you; I was just saying that it doesn't take a TON of effort to make a decent promo game. And I noticed this game as well, during my early morning coffee and cigarette "new release" browsing session (I've stayed on 5.1.1). I never just buy something based on the description, but you would expect more from a product carrying the Weinstein Company name.

That being said, I found an interesting looking space trading game call Startraders (IIRC); haven't seen a thread for it. Might try it now.

I realized that you were agreeing. I looked back at my post and can see why you said that though...I didn't mean to come off like I was posting anything negative about what you said. I don't know why, but for some reason this game stuck in my craw. It's almost like no effort at all was put in to make this an enjoyable experience. It even carries an age restriction which is ludicrous.
