First Person "Mission Critical is not directly related to Star Trek in any way yet it does share some of the themes: space exploration in a future world filled with wondrous technology, heated space battles, mysterious alien artifacts, and tough decisions which may decide the fate of mankind. "Mission Critical comes on three CDs and it shows. The graphics are SVGA 640x480; they are quite good looking. Better yet, FMV is high-res as well without any interlacing. "Sound samples are crisp and clear, all dialogues have voiceovers (including everything you say) but there are numerous helpful text-only descriptions...There is also pleasant (or dramatic, where appropriate) background MIDI music. "Puzzles are almost exclusively inventory based...Overall difficulty is easy - that's how I rate games where I didn't even think of downloading a walkthrough (why anyone would need one for this game is a mystery to me). I must not forget to mention that there are several space battles which are part action but mostly strategy. "Mission Critical has an intriguing and mind-bending story, posing some rather difficult questions about the relationship of mankind and technology and our possible future(s). If you're a sci-fi fan, you really shouldn't miss it...My only gripe was (you guessed it) the combat sequences. Not that they were bad - it's just that in my opinion they shouldn't be in an adventure game as they tend to dictate a completely different pace. But on the whole, Mission Critical is a high-quality game in the best tradition of Legend Entertainment Company."
