Okay, it's a terrible pun for a game that takes place far in the future, but it is absolutely true. The Pandora Directive is still one of my favorite games. I played it when it originally came out, and then played it again, and then again...Based on your choices, you could take three different paths and view one of seven possible endings, and I wanted to see every one. It is the first game that I have played where your choices make a real difference in what happens. They simply don't make games like this anymore. It's a full adventure, in cinematic format, which you get to control.
The overall game is an adventure with puzzles dispersed throughout. You can choose from two gaming modes. One mode (Game Player Mode) offers the possibility to accumulate more points, thus allowing you to have access to more in the game. Or, if you prefer to concentrate more on the story line and don't like all of the puzzles, you can choose Entertainment mode. In Entertainment mode, you have the option to bypass certain puzzles and concentrate more on the adventure aspect (sacrificing your ability to gain as many points).
All in all, this game is fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a good adventure, and I'm very excited to see that I can get it once again through good old games.
