Like watching a movie, and occasionally clicking a mouse...

I must be the only person in the entire world who didn't like this game. Sure, the graphics are great, and it's really fun to be able to walk around in the world of one of my favorite movies of all time.

But...

Is the game really good? Let's compare. In what I consider to be a good RPG/adventure game, you would have complete freedom to go where you want, talk to whom you want, figure out the mystery on you own terms, just like real life. However, in Blade Runner, nothing is available until someone mentions it, or until you "discover" it. Several times I had a certain submystery figured out and could have moved on, but the game wouldn't let me because I hadn't done such and such yet.

What this means is that the entire game boils down to moving your mouse back and forth across the screen until the cursor changes, clicking, moving on to the next scene, and doing the same thing again. Point and click, point and click. Imagine watching a movie that every few minutes you have to press a button to move on to the next scene. That's all this game is. Player input is minimal, and the game practically runs itself.

I was sure that after not reading a single bad review ANYWHERE, Hmmm...

This shouldn't be considered a game

I had high expectations when I bought this game. However, I was extremely disappointed to find out that it's hardly a game at all. Minimal skill and effort is required to get from scene to scene. I can only assume that all the good reviews for this game are from the people who had an obsession with the movie and are just excited to now own the computer-game version. I wish I'd never spent my money on this, it is the single worst computer game purchase I have ever made.

Buy me!

I love RPG's, and if you do too; this is a must buy. Even if Westwood's crazy claims aren't true the game is still incredible. The graphics, storyline, and AI are incredible. I hated the movie-the game is 1000 times better.

Blade Runner directed by Ridley Scott was a strange sci-fi movie. I thought that it is funny how people in the 80's have viewed the Los Angeles in 2019. We know that nothing like that is going to happen. Genetically engineered superhumans used for slavery in not likely to happen in the near future. I thought is was also funny how Harrison Ford was supposed to discard of the Androids but instead he falls in love with one of them. I never did understand why she did not die when the others did. They are only supposed to live life half of what we do. This movie also makes you think. Like at the end when he was talking about the android that saved him. He said that they were searching for the same answers that we are. Like why are we here, what is our purpose, ect. Doesn't that make you wonder. And another thing that puzzles me about the movie is, why did the android save his life?

It's an old game by todays standards but well worth the 6 bucks I paid for it!

A game that takes place on the same fictional earth as Philip K. Dick's novel Blade Runner. Stuck in Los Angeles 2019 your job is to hunt down and "retire" android humans called replicants. They were genetically created for slavery on off-world planets. Illegal and dangerous, they try to hide in your hometown after they escaped and fled to earth. It's your job to sniff 'em out. With more than a few possible endings, and many different ways to get there, this game never gets old. There's just one question... are you human?

I give it a four

I just liked the whole breakdown of this game. I haven't seen the movie or read the book...but after this game I am going to check out both.

I can't explain it very well...it's a mix between the old Phillip Marlowe Detective Stories and 12 Monkeys.

Incredible gaming experience

This game sets itself apart from other games in the adventure genre, mainly due to the fact that it is so realistic. Gameplay is anything but linear and the sound of the character voices and environments is great. Good cut scenes as well. Most importantly, the game has multiple endings, so replay value is high. Don't miss out on this classic, which does the movie and the book proud.

Excellent Game!

This game version of the popular sci-fi movie is excellent. The graphics, music and gameplay are first rate. As an added bonus, you can replay the game many times, as the endings vary.

For fans of the film, this is a must buy. For adventure gamers it is a game you will keep and play again and again.

A great game

First of all, I'd like to say when I bought this game I was amazed at how complicated it was. It was hard for me personally, so I had to go on line and get hints. After I started to get a little better at it I soon got addicted to it. If you like solving mysteries there's no doubt you'll like this game. It has pretty good graphics and runs smoothly. Every once in a while a bug comes up, but other than that, there's no freezing or anything. This game takes place in the future in L.A. You play police detective Ray McCoy. Lateley there's been signs of outer world activity,A.K.A.[Nexus 6's]. Your main objective is simple, find them and kill them. At some points the game can turn in to a scavenger hunt because you look for lots of clues. That's usually the case in lots of games that you play a detective, cop, FBI agent,ect. Overall the game is good. There could be more action, but because you look for lots of clues so it's limited. You should buy this game if your up for a challenge and like mystery games. Just be aware that there's no cheats for this game.
