Replicants in this game are bioengineered organic beings. While they were not referred to as either robots or androids in the movie, the screenplay was originally based on the novel by Philip K. Dick called Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? In this novel, the beings in question are specifically referred to as "androids" or, more familiarly, "andys" and exist primarily to replace a depleted human population in the aftermath of a nuclear war.

This game is indeed Blade Runner - One thing that is very interesting about this game is the fact that it is simply called "Blade Runner." Not Blade Runner 2 - The Replicants are Back" or what ever.

This game has excellent graphics - it looks like they spent months putting all the artwork together. My initial reaction when playing this game was "WoW - looks just like the movie. I'm happy to report that this game looks completely amazing -- the graphics and framerate as clean and clear as any I've ever seen.

This game is not all visuals, though -- it's a new Blade Runner plot as well, and one that I find filled with both new characters to meet as well as old ones. The Replicants in this game are even more interesting than the ones in the movie. The feature that most obviously distinguishes them from humans is their lack of empathy -- otherwise, they are virtually indistinguishable from their organic counterparts (indeed, at one point a character observes that a psychotic human could be confused with a Replicant. So - while in "In Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" the androids were machines in the Blade Runner game the Replicants are bio-engineered.

The game features several different endings - so instead of the film ending with Deckard spiriting Sean Young to safety in the woodsy wherever in the game the ending could be one of several depending on how you play it.

There's no question the game is Blade Runner - like the movie the game is a cult favorite even today - more than 10 years after the game was released. The PC game Blade Runner is one of a kind in every way, with a marriage of music and imagery that has never and will never be repeated.

If you a Blade Runner fan or love a good adventure game - this game is a must play.
