Ripper (MS-Dos)
9/10
This is an FMV you should not miss. This game includes one of the best stories in a first person detective adventure game, an amazing cast of AAA celebrity actors, a beautifully model environment, creepy atmosphere, and a challenge for everyone.
This game isn't just a simple Myst slideshow. It can be compared more to Buried in Time, where every click plays a video which transitions the camera to the next node. Its absolutely seamless. Cutscenes are usually shown in third person, but there are some first person ones here or there.
To think Jack the Ripper has been overdone with lame excuses for a game. This one, is original and quite intriguing. This is probably one of the best Ripper games to date. Sure its based in the future, but it incorporates the factual story to this dystopic cyberpunk future.
Check it out if you haven't. Its 6 cd's long and might be hard to find.
Oh and not to forget the awesome nostalgic song that is (Don't Fear) the Reaper, by the Blue Oyster Cult. Chilling!
