Blade Runner game [Posted on 2005-09-14]
It's an old game by todays standards but well worth the 6 bucks I paid for it!

Has problems with Windows XP [Posted on 2006-03-03]
It is really a shame that this game was never updated for windows XP. You can run most of the features, but the practice shooting range no longer works and this is an important feature. You need to practice to do well in solving the puzzles. I wrote to them a while back but they showed no interest in providing a fix. I guess they made their money and don't care.

Amazing and ahead of its time. [Posted on 2007-01-25]
This game was and still is amazing. if your a fan of the movie and have always wished for a sequel this is the closest thing to it.(next to the sequel novels of course) Its an amzing story and keeps you quessing till the end. It also has like 3 different endings. Fan of the movie? Youll love this game!!!

Surprised [Posted on 2007-05-04]
I have to admit that I'm not much of a gamer, but I LOVE Blade Runner (the film). I bought this game 10 years after it was released (I just got it a couple of months ago). Man, was I surprised! Being an "old" game, I thought it might be cheesy and outdated, but was I ever wrong!

This game captures the very ESSENCE of Blade Runner. The scenery is stupendous, the story is incredible (much closer and faithful to the book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" than the movie itself was!)and the music was (almost) a direct copy of the original soundtrack (which, IMHO, was at least 50% resposnsible for giving the film & the game its glorious, dark, moody, and evocative atmosphere).

The ONLY critique I have is that the characters themselves appeared blurry and sluggish (except for the cut-scenes). Oh, well. What can you expect from a video game that is 10 years old?

Despite that, Blade Runner is an excellent mystery/adventure game. The wonderful thing about it is that you can play it 10 times in a row and you'll never play the same game twice (there are multiple endings that depend on what your character does throughout the game)!

Fans of Blade Runner should have this game. Fans of mystery or adventure games should have this game. One word of caution, though. Once you get started, you may not be able to stop. It's addictive!

The only game that's better than the movie?? [Posted on 2007-07-08]
As a long time fan of the movie I was somewhat astonished when rewatching the movie after having solved the game, and discovered that the game was more emotional than the movie itself. I don't know how they achieved it. The dialogue in the movie is very compact, perhaps the game gives more room for dialogue and gives the replicants time to show their side of things. It gives anyway a very marked contrast to Steele. Although some of the animated movements are primitive by today's standards, other animations show a body language that's amazingly emotional.. - The only small disappointment after rewatching the movie, was that I remembered the differences in the movie and the game to be larger - to span out the Blade Runner universe a bit more. - And with regards to spanning it out; perhaps it's time to make a sequel? What about something based on "The Edge of Human"? And with a consumer target group beyond male nerds below twenty..
