Charlie's Angels

Game Overview

Charlie's Angels brings martial-arts action and cinematic combat to the GameCube, attempting to mirror the fast-paced, high-kick flair of the feature films. Developed by Neko Entertainment, the game is structured as a series of linear combat missions that send the Angels around the world.

Players control all three Angels—Natalie, Dylan, and Alex—switching between them at designated points throughout each stage to utilize their individual fighting styles and weapon proficiencies. Gameplay consists of third-person brawling where players battle waves of syndicate henchmen using martial arts combinations, slow-motion evasive maneuvers, and environmental weapons like pipes, swords, and firearms. Set across varied locations including a tropical beach, a military base, a luxury cruise ship, and industrial complexes, the game incorporates slow-motion "Matrix-style" camera rotations during heavy finishing attacks to recreate cinematic action sequences.
