If you loved the movie Blade Runner, as many people do, then you will probably enjoy this game. You are able to do much the Blade Runner stuff, like replicant tests, photograph analysis, even falling in love with a replicant of the opposite sex. But mostly this game is like playing through a movie, where you make minimal decisions. Think Don Bluth's Dragon's Lair, or Space Ace, where you touch the joystick at a given moment to tell your character where to go, and you succeed or fail based on whether you went right or left. There is more choice than that here, but it's certainly not a limitless Los Angeles 2019 ready for your exploration. The choices you make will cause different events to happen - there are a few diverging storylines you may pursue, adding to the game's replay value. You play Blade Runner Ray McCoy - the man responsible for "retiring" replicants - the androids barely distinguishable from humans from the fiction of Philip K. Dick. The game plays with the issues of reality and humanity that Dick touches upon in his books, and the game uses art and characters from the movie to create the same murky technoir feel. There are a lot of sumptuous computer animated cut-scenes, but you can tell the game's age - graphics like this look so dated so fast. If you appreciate Blade Runner, you won't care. The game presents a rich world, and lets you drive your tour bus along a few different roads.
