Second play through
Ultimately flawed in many ways this game is non the less intriguing, compelling and pretty much unique. I played it originally not long after it was released and had fond memories of it. This GOG release is definitely improved, the shooter sections are now much more playable although there are still design issues such as enemies being able to shoot you whilst being seemingly out of range, and in some places not even rendered due to distance culling making it impossible to hit them without closing the distance. But issues aside, my second play through had me hooked in just the same way as it did originally. Given the graphical limitations of the time it creates a very immersive world with a strong story line and interesting mix of game mechanics including the ability to possess other NPCs and play as them. The musical score by David Bowie and Reeves Gabrels is excellent. It's essentially an 'explore, solve the puzzles and unravel the mystery' game which is lengthy, detailed and takes you through a series of different environments and situations as the story progresses, mixed with marshal arts combat and first person shooter sections it provides sufficient challenges aside from the explore and discover aspects. Whilst graphically dated with some control aspects seeming awkward at times, taken as a whole it is imo a masterpiece of game design and vision and I highly recommend playing it.
