DHGF: Darkstar: The Interactive Movie might not reinvent the wheel, but it certainly reinvents the Full Motion Video subgenre of adventure gaming from the early 1990s and brings it into the modern era of gaming with full high-definition visuals. Not only does the game look fantastic, but the story is a lot of fun as well. Darkstar is also brilliantly acted with a cast that includes Clive Robertson, Peter Graves, and the cast of Mystery Science Theatre 3000/Cinematic Titanic.
Lace Mamba Global have announced that it will be publishing Darkstar- The Interactive Movie, a Science Fiction adventure game for PC and Mac, developed by J. Allen Williams at Parallax Studio, in 2011. Darkstar, both an adventure game and an interactive movie, features more than thirteen hours of Full Motion Video sequences which is more animated footage than any other game in history and has over two-dozen alternate endings.
GameSnark writes: "DARKSTAR – an adventure game and interactive movie all rolled into one – is coming to the UK in Q2 2011. DARKSTAR promises to be something a little different for PC & Mac players. The game has been received fairly warmly in the States... though 1UP's Frank Cifaldi has given it some (well-meaning) ribbing on their Games Dammit! podcast recently. Perhaps the most interesting aspect to the project is that it includes the original cast of the American cult television comedy series “Mystery Science Theater 3000” and features the last performance of Peter Graves (of Mission Impossible & Airplane fame)"
