Great, Up Until The Glitch

The Good
The game has some great animations, and the puzzles are very logical and clearly thought out. Few scenes had any hard to find rooms, and the layout of the game was very user friendly, much like any other point-and-click game. The animations are very similar to Blade Runner, and can be very funny at times. The installation file is very small.

The Bad
Although it's describe as a Blade Runner style game, it's not as entertaining or as fun. It also has crashed on me a bit, and i couldn't complete the whole game because a glitch occurs at the Sphynx section of the game, you can download a patch for this, but it still didn't want to work. Sometimes the speech stuffed up a bit because it's being ran more from the CD drive than the computer, and i don't have a slow computer or drive, but i do have Windows XP. If your computer is based on Windows NT or XP i would check out the download first to see if the game works.

The Bottom Line
A great game for ages 15+, the puzzles can be a little obscure at times but end up to be quite logical. Based in a futuristic world with many locations and puzzling technology. Contains a light sense of humour and some fun interactive games, the game is very much like Blade Runner.
