3.0 out of 5 stars Cult Classic Adult Game, April 11, 2009

This review is from: Blue Heat: The Case of the Cover Girl Murders (CD-ROM)

I have to take two stars from the overall rating because it's over a decade since Blue Heat was originally released.

<>It is almost as hard to find the XP patch as it is to find a copy of the game. (One star gone)
<>The graphics are by current standards almost unplayable/obsolete on current graphics cards. (For 640x480 movie graphics one star gone)

That said Blue Heat is one of the last great live action adult games that ever made it to mainstream distribution in the 90's. The plot line is comparable to most of the current softcore "Hentia" style Japanese graphic novel games but with the branch of the plot you follow defined more by how well you (as the detective) have solved the case then by the dialog you choose.

Lots of hard bodies, Just the right amount of T&A, and a plot fit for a prime time Crime Drama. Rare in 1997 Blue Heat is Ultra Rare now in 2009, not because of the difficulty in finding a copy but because it really does require you to play the role of detective instead of just clicking dialog. Sit back with a pad of paper, some snacks, and enjoy solving a well planned murder mystery.
