 Excellent!, 2001-12-10
I'm shocked that anyone would even give this game a bad review. If the game doesn't work on your PC. You should definately read the requirements before purchasing. Common sense. All in all this game is one of my favorite games of all time! It took a twist in gaming history! It's a Role Playing Game, Action game, Shooting, and Adventure game all in one! Now how many games now days have all four of those genres in one? None! Exactly! You basically are warped into a different world when you play this game. Some people might complain about having to walk around endlessly which is not true. One thing i'm noticing people having trouble grasping with this game is that it's a "realistic" environment. Some people are too used to video games that have levels and are too fake. This game kicks those aside and draws you in. Grab this game if you ever see it in stores. It's worth the few bucks.

Pretty good, once you get the hang of it, 2001-08-02
It took me a while to get the hang of this game -- the controls are needlessly complicated, with different interface and controls for shooting, unarmed fights, swimming, and just walking around -- and even longer to get interested, given the constant fights (that I mostly lost at first) and the rather silly insistence that "this isn't just a game." ("Do I look like a game?" screams one polygon-heavy bad guy. Um, well, yeah, you do.) And the limited saves (like a video game) can make for a frustrating experience with lots of repeats.All that aside, it really is a lot of fun to play, engrossing and exciting. David Bowie's music never pleased me before, but I found myself looking for it here. Also, like the best games, there are many different ways to solve the same problems and lots of stuff to find if you explore. Definitely worth the time and money, though not for the easily frustrated.

 Sweet graphics and music, but..., 2000-10-10
the fighting interface isn't too bad, though it took a bit to get the controls to functions. The first person shooter is clunky, and very difficult to control. The people, while good detail to face and body, and general body movement, the minimalistic facial expressions is just creepy. While the plot is highly imaginative and original, the pace feels rather plodding. The eye and ear candy of the 3-D graphics, combined with Bowie and Reeves background music are amazing, and save the game. If you're looking for something different, or like the slow dreamscapes of mystery games, like Myst and Riven, give an Omikron a try. If you're looking for something faster-paced, look elsewhere.
GREAT GAME, But........, 2000-08-04
This game is great but at certin times it gets either way to hard or really repetative. The first person mode isn't very good but the other modes are excellent in my opinion. If you don't own this game then buy it. But, buyer beware it gets really confusing at parts so you might get frustrated at times.
