It was such a good (and underrated) game, with rock-solid old-school action and platforming, no gimmicks and a damn badass protagonist. Many good times were had back in the day So Much Win

Me too, at the same time though the idea would immensely scare me. I can already see the gameplay being converted into yet-another-Uncharted-clone sporting seamless cinematics for gamepads, modern Holly-like narrative and last but not the least, a less sexualized version of Julie, with redux boobs and none of the deeply offensive thongs!

If this would ever get a true sequel, or even just a remaster, i somehow have hope that only true fans would put their hands on this.
As you said, it was a rather underrated game back then.

The theme song was so good though, and it still sometimes appears in my head. Very Happy

There apparently were some comics back in the day, I mostly remember the original movie though (The game somewhat following the second movie which has little to no relation to the first.) but yeah a pretty decent action game back in the day, also a lot of different outfits as you progressed through the levels and a number of different weapons, I think I remember liking some sort of chain sword thing. Very Happy

I remember this very well as one of the earlier Tech 3 games (i.e. Quake III Arena engine) which got marketed very heavily on the "shapely female protagonist" angle.

Good game as far as I played it but there were so many quality games released at the time that it kind of got buried in the masses. Deus Ex was released a month earlier, there was Thief 2, Diablo II just a few weeks before, Counter Strike becoming extremely popular, Red Alert 2, No-One Lives Forever, Alice, Baldur's Gate II, Shogun Total War, the first Hitman, Icewind Dale, etc. etc. etc. 2000 was a brilliant year for PC gaming and there's many lesser known games of that year that kind of were forgotten in the big rush.
