I have never seen the movie this game is based on and you really don't need to in order to enjoy this game. Great music and sound effects, stunning CGA cutscenes, unique characters and storyline. More of a detective-like mystery game than inventory based and you're actions throughout the game decides the ending (and your fate). Glad to finally see this on GOG.
This is a FMW game not many people got to experience in '96 and I may dare say is an adventure every point-and-click enthusiast needs to play. A fantastic detective noir set in 1940's L.A. with multiple endings, interesting puzzles with various solutions, cheezy but fun acting....one of the best uses of FMW in a PC game ever in my opinion (being bias of course having grown up with the game). The $5.99 is a very fair price as that's what i paid for it back in '97 out of the bargin bin. One frustrating thing is the save feature can only be accessed in your home office so it can be a pain to back track.
I actually just got done playing this several weeks ago. While it is a good point-and-click adventure, I finished the game expecting more. No spoilers but I didn't enjoy the ending at all. The story is just plain confusing in parts (at least for me it was). The puzzles are nice; nothing to complex. I certainly recommend playing it at least once as it is a Jensen original.
