I have to rate this one as the best of the three rather unconvincingly monikered "interactive movies" for the PC. "Under a Killing Moon" looked terribly cheap, and "Overseer" was just plain dull. "Pandora Directive" just about gets it right for me - fun (if hackneyed) plot, interesting characters (though sadly no Inspector Burns this time) and by the looks of it a pretty high budget all go toward making this pretty good fun, but still really nowhere near a true movie in any way, interactive or otherwise! Also bear in mind I played this game about 4 years ago, so by now the graphics etc. are probably absolutely laughable by today's standards!
