The main character is voiced by Bruce Campbell, star of the Evil Dead movies.
Throughout the game, he makes wisecracks and one-liners, and dialogue with personnel is generally comical.
Broken Helix is considered a 4D game.
For example, if you are on the third floor, you may have to make your way up to the fifth floor in order to defuse a bomb.
There is no visible time limit, but if you do not make it up to that floor in time, the bomb will go off, and you will die.
There are various objectives to complete, such as disarming bombs and finding certain items, but the game is mostly action/adventure, searching for keys to open doors.
In order to be successful, you must sneak past cameras and other devices, in order to find out the truth behind the terrorist takeover.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Broken Helix for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Broken Helix to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1997.
