Hardline

Hardline is a live-action FMV-based computer game developed by Cryo and Virgin Interactive Entertainment in 1996. It is a cyberpunk themed rail shooter with adventure game elements. Players will take control of Ted Irvine, a rebel in the gritty streets of a war torn future. Law and Order have collapsed, and a mysterious group known as The Sect have taken over, using psychic powers to control the populace. The game includes 10 levels of rail shooting game play, interspersed with point and click sequences and FMV cut scenes.

Hardline is nicely balanced between being a rail shooter action game and an adventure game. The many carnage scenes are broken up with adventure game sequences, where you must locate certain items necessary for your quest. I have personally enjoyed playing this game over the years with it's great Live action cut-scenes and it's solid plot that is mysterious and engaging. So grab that bag of popcorn, close the blinds, crank up the surround sound, and go play a movie.

Conclusion - If you like FMV type games and if rail shooters are your thing, then there's a good chance you'll enjoy Hardline, I know i did..
