The Pandora Directive

What the heck is wrong with everyone?

User Rating: 9.6 | The Pandora Directive PC

After Grim Fandango, this is my favorite. It's not easy, it's not short, it has 7 or 9 different outcomes depending on your candor and choices, it has Barry Corbin... It has fmv, interactive puzzles, some action, a great story that includes alien landings, it's set in the near future... I don't know what anyone else would want out of a game. Oh, and it also has one of THE best travel devices ever: if you have already been to a location, just call it up on your map and click. Beautiful. I'm not a great, technical reviewer but I have played well over 100 adventure games and I know what sucks and what's great. An overall 7.5 does not do this game justice.
