Adventure Classic Gaming
All in all, Mission Critical is a masterpiece of science fiction and adventure gaming. With its attention to detail and quality writing, Mission Critical harks back to a nearly forgotten time when computer game designers focus not on breathtaking eye candy but on crafting an engaging story. If only the talented developers at Legend Entertainment were still in business, the world of adventure gaming would be a brighter place.

Just Adventure
Mission Critical has an intriguing and mind-bending story, posing some rather difficult questions about the relationship of mankind and technology and our possible future(s). If you're a sci-fi fan, you really shouldn't miss it. If you can't stand science fiction, you should avoid this game at any cost. My only gripe was (you guessed it) the combat sequences. Not that they were bad - it's just that in my opinion they shouldn't be in an adventure game as they tend to dictate a completely different pace. But on the whole, Mission Critical is a high- quality game in the best tradition of Legend Entertainment Company. I give it an A-.

GameSpot
Put simply, Mission Critical was one of the best adventures of 1995. The halls of a 22nd Century starship are rendered in 7th Guest-like detail, using camera-on-rails animation that delivers an illusion of smooth 3-D movement down hallways or into rooms. Pick up objects, open containers and solve puzzles—all typical adventure fare, but Mission Critical gives you a great deal more. As your adventure moves from the immediate problem of repairing a badly-damaged spacecraft to fighting deep space battles to first contact with aliens, you'll unravel a greater cosmic mystery that could affect the entire human race. A chilling beginning and deep science-fiction premises make Mission Critical an adventure game to savor.

Un soft déroutant, déconcertant. On peut soi aimer, soit rester totalement indifférent sauf si l'on avance assez loin dans le jeu, c'est-à-dire là où l'intrigue devient passionnante. De toute façon, Mission Critical est à conseiller à tous les trekies.
