Critical Path would be much better as a rental than as a purchase,
although if you can buy it for $30 plus shipping, play it, then
sell it for $30, I suppose that would qualify as a rental.

It's basically a film on CD-ROM.  It has live action and a cool main
character with real and animated backdrops, explosions, etc. blending
fairly smoothly (for a game, that is).  You'll either finish it in one
three-hour sitting or you'll get stuck in the room with the crosses
and end up posting a request for help.

I'm done with mine, by the way.  I played it for a total of about four
hours.  (I got stuck in the room with the crosses.)
