Yes it is a pleasant suprise.  Imo I think games based on TV Series Or Film can be sucessfull, IF, they can deviate away from the actual existing story and create something new.

Thats a problem if you have newer nVidia drivers.  Its actually quite a cool game, graphics are fairly pretty as well.  I agree with the "Too Short" thing though, you can slip through it in no time.

I played it on the xbox - it was really really good.  I think its definitely one of my favourite film to game conversion (if not the favourite).
