Adventure Game Scene of the Day - Tuesday, 15 December
Due to the worlwide craze and rave reviews that new Star Wars movie is currently getting, I’ll make an exception this time and feature Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom, one of the best and certainly, most expensive space game ever produced.
It certainly is a space combat simulator first, interactive movie second. But, more than any “hybrid” interactive movie before, it introduced something we’re very well accustomed to these days - the branching storyline, choices & consequences, other person’s attitude toward you (played by Mark Hamill) depending on what you do, all leading to different endings. On top of all, you’ve got an ensemble cast - not only “Luke Skywalker”, but also Malcolm McDowell, John Rhys-Davies and “Biff Tannen”.

Great game, much better in every respect than the mediocre WC3, and possibly even better than the brilliant WC2. McDowell had some really good scenes (Hamill not so much).
However, what does this have to do with adventure games???

Hey, it’s a space shooting alright, but there’s still the interactive movie part!
Cute hatsie, diego.
Thanks! You don’t think it’s too small to my head?

Calling it a hybrid is a bit of a stretch, to say the least, you might as well call every single game Bioware has ever made a hybrid (but who am I to judge, I featured a mmorpg myself).
But it is one of the best space-combat games ever made!
You have to play the game, to find out why you are playing the game! - eXistenZ
Calling it a hybrid
Where did I call it a hybrid adventure?!

But, more than any “hybrid” interactive movie before
Not to mention, that the headline is “HYBRID TUESDAY”
And where did I say that you had called it a “hybrid-adventure”?

Oh, it’s an interactive movie alright:
and even more than Wing Commander III
Not to mention, that the headline is “HYBRID TUESDAY”
Yes?! Hybrid TUESDAY!! Not Hybrid Adventure!
And where did I say that you had called it a “hybrid-adventure”?
Oh, sorry.

I will still say it is a stretch, even if it isn’t you who are doing the stretching!
BTW did you know that they also made an actual movie - But I guess the less said about that, the better.

Yeah that movie is up there with Super Mario Bros and the Doom movies as some of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.

Freddy Prinze Jr is terrible in that but really good in Mass Effect 3 (another wonderful E.A. owned space opera) so everything comes full circle.
I tried the Wing Commander pack from GOG a while ago because I like interactive movies, but the space combat was torture. It felt like being inside a washing machine. I would have liked to see the movie scenes and story from the later games but in the end the punishment wasn’t worth it.
