Summary: Westwood's Best Adventure Game
Review: BladeRunner is the best adventure game that Westwood has ever made. You play as Ray McCoy, a rookie cop in year 2019 Los Angeles, you have a special task as a Blade Runner, to hunt and kill replicants who are basically robots with the same features and instincts as humans. If you kill a human instead of a replicant, your carrer is over. You get caught up in hunting replicants and find yourself in some trouble. That is where it all gets comfusing. I don't want to give away anything else. You can buy it and choose the paths you want to take in this constantly changing adventure.

Summary: A great game
Review: 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.

Summary: Repeat after me....WOW!!!
Review: I borrowed this game from a friend, and was quickly impressed. At first I was expecting much, from what he told me, it was only a few minutes distraction, but after fifteen minutes of playing, I became immersed in the world of Roy McCoy, Blade Runner.

The thing I love most about this game is that it's practically never teh same game twice. I got captured by some baddies, but my friend said that never happened to him. Actions you take determine the future of the game. In reality, it's like those books where you pick what decision you take and turn to a page.

The sound and music is awesome! You become caught up in Los Angeles, 2019. The characters are pretty cool, not perfect, but cool. I played the game twice, and each play is so different, that not even they stay the same.

If you love Blade Runner, get this game. You WILL NOT, repeat WILL NOT be disappointed.

Summary: This shouldn't be considered a game
Review: 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.

Summary: I give it a four
Review: 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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Buy me!
Review: 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.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Like watching a movie, and occasionally clicking a mouse...
Review: 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...

Summary: An engrossing story that will draw you in completely
Review: I picked this game up about a year ago, having never seen the movie. I did not know what to expect. What I got though, was a completely thought provoking, psychologicially challenging, intuitive, breathtaking and mezmorizing game that left me clutched to my computer for days.

The story is unlike any other. It follows the locations of the movie, and if you have seen it, you'll recognize many of the scenes. Cut scenes in games usually are a let down; here, they excell. The gameplay never dips, unless you get stuck and are pulling your hair out trying to figure out what to do next. But that is how murder mysteries are supposed to be. This isn't a game that you will finish in 3 hours. Heck, when I play it over, it still takes me awhile.

The main drawing point to this game is the numerous paths that you can take. It is an adventure game in REAL time. So if you are lolly-gagging around in one area for a long time just doing nothing, you'll miss something later and the game will change. You can ALWAYS beat the game, but the path you take is what makes the game so outstanding. Are you a good guy? A Bad guy? Who are you? It all depends on the decisions that you make and the people/replicants that you enteract with.

If you are a hardcore adventure gamer and don't have this one, you should be ashamed. As for everyone else, you are without excuse as well. Buy it now.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Future is Now...
Review: 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!
