Like Old San Francisco this Game Used to be Something...
Under a Killing Moon came at a time when FMV (Full Motion Video) was all the rage for this genre of games. It quickly died out because it was often done so poorly. This however is a prime example of this it done right. Not only is it technically well integrated and well acted but you might wonder what the game would be like without it as it allows for deeper connection with the characters, storyline and environment. Under a Killing Moon really was a technical leap for its time but it also is one of the best games of the time that is sadly unknown to most mainstream gamers. While excellent games of other genre's such as Half-Life, Final Fantasy, and Grand Theft Auto live on, UAKM is that diamond in the forgotten past in a genre that mostly only now lives in the minds of the gamers who once enjoyed it.
