Star Rating:

David Bowie has burned through more personas than a schizophrenic undercover cop. So it’s no surprise his sci-fi game allows you to transfer your “soul” into 40 different characters to rebel against the oppressive government of Omikron. (Besides co-creating the soundtrack, Bowie cameos as virtual deity Boz.) It ain’t all high-concept: You blow away demons and dirty cops and detour into a futuristic peep show as you unravel the amazingly detailed metropolis’ conspiracy. Which body did we enjoy invading the most? Bowie’s babe, Iman, who proves that though the future is freaky, at least it has supermodels.
