The cut scenes are horrendous for today's standards and like the rest of the storyline make marginal sense. It appears that the developers put more effort into in-game graphics and at least here it does picks up a bit. While it still scores moderately on attractiveness it makes up for it in its sheer detail. From random items on tables to toilets complete with stains the designers have done well. Player movement is likewise often smooth and the designers have placed some emphasis to the randomness of how people may collapse when they die.
And the second is at Strategy Informer with an overall score of 6.5/10:
In the end, all those fancy gameplay choices simply increase the frustration factor, being that the seemingly smallest decisions will end up coming around to bite you in the you-know-what later. Originally, I thought that I'd be influencing historical factors such as the beginning of WWIII, or maybe even the unification of the USSR or both Germanys. Instead, all I got was a few thugs on my back constantly taking my money.
