“With it’s fresh, fast-paced story, its first-rate cast and graphics, Ripper looks like it could be one of the most provocative and compelling games of the year.”
“Ripper manages to deliver the gaming goods. With a gritty, hard-edged story and a high-powered cast of Hollywood talent, Ripper is as fun to play as it is to watch."
“The plot is Hollywood-quality, as is the acting . . . I’d highly recommend checking out Ripper, especially if you’re into adventure games. You won’t be disappointed.”
“Ripper is scary and devastatingly brilliant in its concept. The creators of the storyline get my unreserved congratulations on a game well done. Bravo!”
“Mix killer video with a killer cast, killer puzzles, killer soundtrack, and a killer on the loose, and you get Ripper. . . . Ripper takes a stab at every major achievement chalked up in the game arena, combining more than three hours of full-screen, full-motion video, major Hollywood talent, intriguing puzzles, and arcade-style games. Most impressively, the title does it all well. . . . It’s a killer.”
“Adventure gamers may have trouble turning away from their computer as they murmur to themselves “just one more conversation . . . just one more conversation.” The effect is much like reading a very good book and wanting to finish one more chapter before bedtime.”
“For all that, Ripper is an interesting game to play, and one of the better adventures I’ve played in awhile. Take 2 has managed to get this to work as an adventure, a movie, and a mystery, which is saying a lot.”
“The writing is outstanding and plot development is continually expository at a fast enough pace to keep us hooked.”
“A really tight writing job—nice work designers.”
“The entire city (and game for that matter) successfully oozes a dim, futuristic, foreboding atmosphere that reminded me a bit of Blade Runner. . . . Ripper incorporates live actors into computer-generated surroundings (blue-screening), and the resulting environment blows away most similar games in this genre.”
