Your character was from one of the Houses (or corporations) and as such got a particular trait. You'd have a mission you needed to run through and accomplish all the while avoiding mutants, traps, and occasionally the other players. Not so big on the survival horror that this seems to lend itself too, but I'll give it a shot from the Red Box for a buck.
I understand what you mean, but I'm afraid you'll still be disappointed. The movie was shot on a slim budget, and because of the new setting, none of the familiar characters from the source material look anything like they normally would, nor are there any of the cool weapons and such. Worse yet, there's only one kind of mutant: a zombie-looking guy with a big tusk where his right arm should be, and some big stitches going up his face. Also, the actual corporations are only mentioned in passing.

But I suppose a buck is about what it's worth to see what I'm talking about firsthand.
