The Future is Now...

I'm a huge Blade Runner fan, first and for most. When I bought The game, I was astonished. The plot beautifully done. You play BR dectective Ray McCoy (Sorry fans, but you can't play Rick Deckard in this. But he does show up in a picture you recieve. Plus, on the training maze, it shows his top score). You're first assignment for the day is an animal murder of a fancy pet shop (in the future, animals are very rare, so they made bad fake ones). Once getting your hands on a picture of several replicants, the perps that Blade Runners chase, the real story begins.

What also makes this game really neat is how you chose the ending, and your fate; you can be a replicant killer and kill all the replicants in the story, or you can be a replicant helper and help the replicants escape. The music is straight from the film, even though Vangelis didn't do the job. Most of the stars from the film, (Sean Young, Joe Turkel, William Sanderson, ect.) return to their charecters' voices, exept for Ruger Hauer, Harrison Ford and Daryl Hannah. Some people think that Gaff in the game (yes, he is) is played by, none other, than Edward James Olmos; this is false. EJO is way to great of an actor to be played in a video game. Most of the charecters in the game replicate the ones in the movie, (for example, Ray is supposed to be Deckard, Roy Baty is replaced by a rep. named Clovis and Cap. Bryant is replaced by a fat, sleazebag named Guzza). Even one of the endings, in which Ray drives off with a girl replicant, is a copy of the original ending for the movie! This game is the best. You'll like it even if your not a BR fan. Enjoy!

Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?

Bladerunner is one of the few adventure games that has survived through the 'new era' of 3d gaming.
Althought following a story similar to that in the film/book, the character 'Roy McCoy' is new to the game.
This classic game allow gamers to be immersed into the world of bladerunner, and actually hunt replicants for themselves. However there may be a few hard choices on the way.
Play this and you may be able to answer the question, "Do androids dream of electric sheep?".

Surprised

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 Being an "old" game, I thought it might be cheesy and outdated, but was I ever wrong!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!

Impressive

Blade Runner is very appealing to me. I have played the game through at least thirty times. One thing I love about the game is the sound of rain falling down. The voice acting is very impressive, and the game has a great script. I actully found the plot of the game more appealing than that of the movies.

A few downsides I can get over is the video sequences. A lot of them have really bad animation. Another downside is the audio, sometimes when two characters are talking to each other there will be a long pause in-between the end of one person's dialogue and the start of the next person's. Like I said I can get over that.

Amazing game, outstanding sound!

Taking place at the same time as the movie, this game immerses you in an amazing cyberpunk world, filled with odd characters. The settings are stunning, the music haunting, and the gameplay rarely disappoints.

Though the game boasts a "real time" world, most events wait for you to do something before occurring (bombs won't blow up until you get there, etc). But there are times when you have to do something quickly, or you'll lose your chance to do it (chasing and catching someone so you can pursue a dialogue tree).

At times also the puzzles and gameplay were a little simplistic--but the story always carried it on, in my opinion. You /wanted/ to know what would happen next, even if you had to do some silly tasks to find out what. As for content: a little violence (you're a cop, after all), a little bit of scantily clad female CGI flesh, and a bit of swearing--nothing over the top. Play it even if you haven't seen the movie--you'll probably want to after you finish the game, though.

Has problems with Windows XP

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.

Outstanding

This adventure balances perfectly great atmosphere with not-too-difficult and relevant puzzles, a very hard to find combo I played the game and I had few memories of the movie, which I watched in the '80s. Made me want to watch it again-what an incredible flick. The atmosphere is very, very immersing-as good as the movie, I promise. Some parts of the game are truly scary too, like the doll house-be ready sergeant!

Badass RPG that is amazingly fun

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..
