Nostalgic awesomenimity!

User Rating: 9.5 | Mission Critical PC
Well, this review is just a little late, but this game ultimately deserves some high praise during the time when it WAS around. As the original gamespot review points out, in 1995, this game was a phenomenal adventure game. The graphics (again, at the time) were top notch and the puzzles throughout the game nailed the concept of just the right amount of brain scratching mixed with nice pacing. Of course, this title is always worth revisiting for one great factor: Not the now dated graphics or the simplistic play style as compared to more modern games...but the STORY! Mission Critical had one of the most amazing plots that I had ever seen. Twisting, turning, exciting, and with a touch of sadness here and there, Mission Critical delivered plot wise. In a lot of ways, Mission Critical helped further define/refine the adventure genre for years to come. In any case, if you ever manage to stumble upon this classic oldie or are an older fan with a nostalgic sense of what a good game should be, load it up and enter the world of Mission Critical. =)
