Consider this a bottom-line on the gaming barometer – a reference point where gaming simply does not get any worse.

Broken missions, pathetic animations, a sorry fighting system, and a sorrier button-mashing mode.

Other than intentionally funny games like "Day of the Tentacle" and "Monkey Island," I don’t think I’ve ever laughed more at a game than I did at Fugitive Hunter.

I cannot believe how solid this game is considering how crazy the premise is. The shock value angle the developers were going for is on full display, but I would argue there is a solid shooter experience underneath that makes this game both ludicrous and fun.

i went in expecting a 2003 video game. i thought it was funny and fun. had some goldeneye n64 vibes in map designs and the enemy side roll. lol. but i got stuck on the chase mission. why do this? i was having fun.

Fugitive Hunter is the perfect example of crappiness. The fighting and shooting controls are both clunky, inaccurate, and annoying. Speaking of annoying, the voice acting is hilariously terrible, your protagonist is about as dorky as it gets and he never stops spewing lame phrases, the enemies and characters are absolute stereotypes, with choppy animation for character models. Overall, the game just has a crappy feel from start to finish that is very noticeable, It's clear that they wanted to pass a crappy game off as a playable one rather than take the time to improve it. Generic Shooter is a more appropriate name for this game than Fugitive Hunter.

The FPS's non-stop arcade-style shooting is a fun break from a wave of "press yourself flat against the wall and look around the corner" sneak-around titles, but the clunky third-person fighting you have to do to take down the level bosses is goofy.

A flat-out crappy game. [Jan 2004, p.135]

It's a short game with bland mechanics, repetitive levels, and almost zero replay value, and that's not even taking into account the total absurdity of getting into a fistfight with Osama Bin Laden.

Fugitive Hunter seems to utilize random nonsensical damage, instead of the “target specific” kind, and the game’s defamation of the law of physics and its shoddy collision detection makes it seem like you’re constantly trekking through Jello. All that and no multiplayer. Bummer.

What do you get when you cross a really bad FPS with a sloppy 3D fighter? A coaster. Fugitive Hunter is a holiday embarrassment and should be avoided at all costs.
