I haven't gotten too far, but the atmosphere in this game is excellent. I also like the retro-type equipment.
I bought the CD version of this game back in (probably) 2000-2001 on Ebay. I am a HUGE fan of the original movie. This game captures the mood, music, and overall tone down to the little details. I am probably in the minority, but I love the original BR with the narration from Harrison Ford and this game gives us a little taste of that as well. Instead of following the story from the movie it gives us a new story, new characters, but never once feels like it isn't in the same universe. Nice touch to throw hints that Deckard is out there, still doing his job. This is a masterpiece. To this day, I own the 4 CD's I bought many years ago, but this is better. It runs flawlessly on a modern system. I waited on this release for years and grabbed it as soon as I saw it was available. Westwood Studios seriously created a work of art here. One of my favorite games of all time. They don't make them like this anymore.
It's no different than one of the many B-Horror flicks I used to rent in the 80's, when my goal was to work my way through the "Horror" section at the local Mom & Pop video store! There's something special about the FMV era of the 90's. Yes, it was terrible, and we all knew it then, but there was something really cool about controlling real life people! I think I have come to appreciate those old FMV games because they were at a time when the adventure game on the pc seemed limitless. Even back when I was 7 years old, playing Atari's Adventure in 1980, I love it, but secretly wished for something deeper. The C=64 nurtured my love for a deep adventure, but it was the pc games of the 90's that really made me feel like there was a clear beginning and end to every great expedition! I played through both Phantasmagoria games, and since, I thought I would never see them again... Thanks you G.O.G.!!
