 The best PC game I've ever played!, 2000-02-18
It seems that everyone keeps on whining about the very minor flaws of this game. I actually like the fact that every game mode has different controls. The only problem I have with the game is that eventhough the surroundings look incredible, I have to deal with some fog. I put my resolution on 1024x768 and everything else on high, exept I have to put clipping distance on medium, or my frame-rate will bomb. What I really enjoy about the game is the freedom of exploration and I think it's just plain fun to mess-around in the huge city, and doing things such as driving, target practice, combat training, etc. Blade Runner originally was my favorite PC game, but then I played Omikron, which, I think, blows Blade Runner away.
 An okay game, 2000-02-12
I bought this game b/c I read about it in a gaming magazine. I like it, but it is really hard. You know how TR3 just isn't as fun as the original? Well, this game is kind of disappointing like that. You spend a lot of time just walking around the cities and trying to figure out what to do. I had to buy a guide to get me through it b/c I was stuck. Turns out I missed a lot of stuff in the beginning and had to start all over. I don't really recommend this game. It isn't that great.

 I am Totally Confused, 2000-02-11
This is an excellent game, graphics wise but I find the puzzles extremely difficult. I have spent countless hours drifting from building to building trying to find out what to do next. I feel that the game could be a lot more helpful in keeping in tact with the storyline and solving puzzles. Right now I've discovered Qualisar and I guess that I am supposed to be trying to get into the Archives to read the Classified info. on the case the charaacter was involved in before his disappearance but I have no clue what to do next. If anybody has any suggestions please email me.

Prepare to kick your computer several times, 2000-02-07
The game is beautiful, but I do think Quantic Dream could have taken some time to fix a number of things. For one, the game has a huge grudge against my primary display driver (which works fine on the other 3-D games I play) so I have to use the software rendering, which isn't too slow as long as it's on 640x480 resolution and the detail is very low and the clipping is very near...Also, the shooting mode is insanely stupid as other people have said. And the game refuses to respond to my keyboard about a third of the time when I try to fight in the arena. (My roommate didn't have that problem, however, so it might just be my keyboard.) And it would be nice to skip the cut scenes...seeing the video for the 50th time at the arena is really boring. Now that I've bitched about the programming, I have to point out that it's a truly addictive game, and very fun for this not-very-hardcore gamer. One more gripe: The Dreamers don't perform often enough. :)

I'm glad I bought it, but it lacks here and there, 2000-01-18
This game has an allure because of its revolutionary concept, but not all is delivered. To make it short:THE GOOD: -incredible graphics, with or without a card -free atmosphere that just begs to be explored -somewhat of a branching storyline and some choices along the way -huge, seemless city areas -great concepts - many inhabitable characters and NEARLY endless possibilities THE BAD: -the four different 'modes' (adventure, shooting, fighting and swimming) are kind of annoying -the objects (books especially) are somewhat repetitive and limiting -all the people in the street... do they all look EXACTLY the same or am I seeing double - triple - quad... AHHHHHHHH! -I personally don't like the concept that you are REALLY sitting there playing a computer game which is controlling bodies in another demon-infested parallel universe... I'd rather put myself in the position of the character than just be myself sitting on my butt -for the life of me, I can't drive those blasted cars -some of the puzzles are very hard and in some, the solution doesn't really make sense. I had to buy the PRIMA strategy guide, which, in a bind, I recommend.
