I just got this game and within 15 minutes it completely crashed my system and the game is stuck in my ps3. If I ever get the game out I am returning it and will not buy another one. In this day and age this should not happen, screw sony for possibly ruining my system which has never had any problems. It probably is a good game but I will never know.
I played the demo first on the play station and found the game addicting. Immediately I went to buy the game, only to find myself immersed for a good three hours in the story line and gameplay. At first, the way you move your character is a little…. different, but after you get used to the controls then the game is completely worth it. The only problem I have is sometimes I think the voice acting is a little off, but its something I can look over. Overall, I would definitely buy the game, even for 60 dollars it’s worth it. The interactive story line and being able to shape your own story is something of being fantastic.
… So why do Sony and Quantic Dream expect us to buy a Game that doesn’t Play? The game is so full of game freezing, audio popping, reboot your PS3 and hope your save data didn’t get corrupted bugs that it’s basically unplayable for many. While not everyone seems to be experiencing these game-halting bugs and erros, many, including myself are, and frankly, it seriously detracts from the overall game experience.
Not worth the $60 price tag.
From my point of view graphic adventures are not for consoles, but PCs. I couldn’t manage the PS3 joystick to properly move the characters, I quited. I must be a…
Pointless nudity, violence against children, and voice acting that rivals Sega-AM2′s Shenmue series. Scenes that have a problems with framerate that slow down the experience. On top of all of that, the serial killer was obvious when the character was introduced.
Some of the acting here is fairly decent. There are SOME awesome actors here, I’m suprised Pascal Langdale didn’t win an oscar for his amazing performance as Ethan Mars. BUT, Judi Beecher, JUDI BEECHER is terrible; like she’s never had a character role in her life. Her lines are monotone and without feeling. She hardly sells the Madison character.
Quantic Dream threw in some unimportant characters with undeveloped storylines to distract you from the terrible plot with enough holes to fill The Boeing Plant. The ending plot twist was predictable and cliche. I won’t even bother going into detail. There’s really nothing to talk about here.
Overall, this movie would be worth a rental. It’s a film that drags out of a’bit too much.. there are far too many scenes that don’t progress the story, lame minor characters that have no connection to the plot; scenes of Ethan brushing his teeth or playing with nick-nacks merely there to increase the duration of the film. Horrible.
