So we all know Omikron: The Nomad Soul is good. How good? How 'bout not one, but TWO "best game of all time" reviews!! Here are a couple of quotes from the 5-Star review:
"In short, Omikron: The Nomad Soul is not only the best adventure game released this year, but ranks up there with the best of all time."
"You'll find several secret concerts during your quest that present you with a virtual David Bowie, complete with dance moves and inspired camera work. You can also buy new Bowie tracks at various stores and play them in your virtual apartment. Omikron represents the first true blend of music and gaming, and each complements the other successfully."
Here's another snippet from CheckOut.com's All Media Guide 4 and 1/2 Star review of Omikron:
"Having David Bowie as a member of your creative development team, and as one of the major spearheads in your soundtrack most certainly does not hurt a game. Bowie's lulling, soothing, and yet hard-hitting musical style actually sent shivers throughout my body. Hearing title song New Angels of Promise for the first time was what had me; hook, line and sinker. David Bowie and Reeves Gabrels have simply done an astonishing job on the Omikron soundtrack."
"This game is, and remains, one of my most favourite games of 1999 and all time."
