 The
Pandora Directive takes Interactive Movies to the next level. Access' previous
release, Under a Killing Moon, won rave reviews and hundreds of thousands of fans
by blending a futuristic detective story with sci-fi, humor and interesting, challenging
game play. The Pandora Directive features a tight, riveting script, professional
direction and cinematography.
The production is enhanced by strong acting performances from an excellent cast
that includes such stars as: Barry Corbin (Northern Exposure, War Games), Tanya
Roberts (View to a Kill, Beastmaster), Kevin McCarthy (Invasion of the Body Snatchers,
Twilight Zone: The Movie, Just Cause), and John Agar (Tarantula, Fort Apache,
Sands of Iwo Jima).
 One
of the improvements The Pandora Directive has over other Interactive Movies, is
that it can be replayed several times. The preceding storyline is just one way
in which the plot can develop. There are 3 different narrative paths through The
Pandora Directive, each with its own unique scenes, plot twists and character
developments. And, depending on how you choose to move through the story, there
are 7 different endings. This allows you to replay the Interactive Movie several
times, each time coming across new conversations, locations and puzzle solutions.
The Pandora Directive offers two levels of game play. Level One is for those users
who play games to see the story, not tackle the challenging puzzles. It has a
complete on-line hint system that assists them if they get 'stuck'. Level Two
is the Expert Gamers' Level. This level provides some extra puzzles, slightly
more gameplay, more challenging solutions, and rewards the users with more points.
In the beginning of the game, users can select which level they would like to
play. All three paths and seven endings are accessible on both levels of play.
