I actually really enjoyed this despite it's flaws. I loved the style, sprite work, music and voice acting (especially for the time). Yes, it's borrows very liberally from its influences. When those influences are Blade Runner, Terminator and Invasion of the Body Snatchers amongst others though, it's hard not to like it.

I enjoyed the story, although the gameplay does require you to ask about/investigate the same things repeatedly to progress and it's got a lot of that trademark, dated Kojima seediness.
