So if Kojima's previous game was Blade Runner mashed with Terminator. Policenauts is basically Lethal Weapon in Space.. If Riggs was an unstoppable sex pest.
I thought the setup was pretty fantastic for this. One of the original Policenauts, Jonathan Ingram has an accident testing a spacesuit and is lost, presumed dead for 25 years until he is recovered unaged in cryostasis. A couple of years after being rescued Ingram, now working as a private detective, is visited by his ex-wife, now in her 50s to search for missing husband (whom she remarried while Ingram was presumed dead).
Obviously this leads in to conspiracies and adventure ensues. Unfortunately while I enjoyed the plot, it never lived up to the promise of the opening.
Gameplay wise this is a point and click, visual novel-esque game like Snatcher. For better and worse.
It's worth a play if you're a Kojima fan, but it is a bit more of a slog to get through than Snatcher, I was ready for this one to end.
