Blade Runner #2

Blade Runner (enhanced edition)

Very disappointing, the improved edition of Blade Runner. If you have the option, definitely go for the original version on gog. So why is the video from the enhanced edition then? Well that’s just convenience…

Set in 2019 Los Angeles, the game tells the story of Ray McCoy, an elite detective charged with hunting down a group of dangerous replicants (bio engineered androids designed to look and act like humans). Although several of the film’s characters appear in the game, with some of the original actors returning to voice them, the film’s protagonist, Rick Deckard, does not appear in a speaking role. Instead, he is referred to on multiple occasions, is seen several times, and his activities as depicted in the film are mentioned. Other parallels with the film include the reproduction of several prominent locations, as well as scenes and dialogue closely modeled on the original.

Westwood Studios, the company that brought Real-Time to strategy games with Command & Conquer, brings Real-Time to adventure games with the science fiction classic, Blade Runner.
Armed with your investigative skills and the tools of the Blade Runner trade, you’ll be immersed in a world that lives and breathes around you with breathtaking lighting and visual effects. Your ability to survive will be put to the test in the richest game environment ever created for your PC.
