Great book and movie, frustrating game
User Rating: 7 | Blade Runner PC
Not too bad given the age of the game, but don't expect too much. Music is taken directly from the movie and some transition video clips are also straight from the movie. These elements effectively recreate the mood of the movie. Graphics were okay for their time but appear very crude by today's standards. In-game navigation is very clumsy and the game is often unforgiving -- if you forget a key interview or to pick up a clue, you can spend quite a while trying to find your way back to the place you left. The "puzzles" don't challenge powers of deduction as much as I would have liked; instead, it seems like every object, interview, and other clue must be repeatedly reviewed in succession to hopefully uncover some further plot element. Despite the game-play frustrations, the Westwood game does add some creative elements to the overall story that are consistent with one of my favorite books and movies. As a result, it is worth a look if you are a Blade Runner fan. Good value for $5-$10, but at it's age it may be hard to find.
