ST Action summary:
Mean Streets represents innovation and excellence. Particulary noticeable are the digitised sounds of opening drawers, shutting doors, gunshots, among many others. The game's menu system for exploring locations is easy to use, and the controls of your craft couldn't be simpler. The plot of the crime contains a number of challenging and interesting complexities, requiring a pleasing amount of thought and deductions.
Rating = 89 %
(Personal note: This game is noteworthy for the first appearance of Tex Murphy, P.I., the hero of future games such as, Martian Memorandum, and the excellent Under a Killing Moon. There was also a third game, that was released on a DVD, but I can't remember the name at the moment.) |
