Awesome game, but feels incomplete...My point of view, no spoilers.
My points in this review:
STORY:
It's awesome, very entertaining, it actually made my heart beat faster in some suspense times lol. It really feels like a good movie.
-----------------------------------------------------------
GRAPHICS:
Seriously the BEST looking faces in a video game eveer, very realistic face textures. Nice lighting, gives you the feeling as if you are watching a movie. Very detailed surroundings and buildings. Clothing looks most of the time very good. Some items look really good, and some are seriously very bad looking, such as a napkins or paper.
-----------------------------------------------------------
SOUND:
Superb voice acting!.
Very nice, orchestral music, it really helps giving you the mood depending on the situation.
(not that I actually payed any attention to the music lol)
alsoo something that I really liked is that the game gives you the option to choose the language and subtitles you want it on.
-----------------------------------------------------------
ANIMATION:
Characters faces and bodies move realisticly thanks to motion caption, though hands seem to be a bit off sometimes, a good example is like when people clap. (seriously looks very crappy lol). Ohh also I noticed and I'm sure other players did also, that clothing movement looks very odd, when a character is wearing it looks very good, but not when they are moving it such when they change their clothes.
----------------------------------------------------------
EXTRAS:
There really aren't many extras in this game (well atleast not in the US version). You have some clips to watch and a few drawings, and that's about it.
----------------------------------------------------------
CONTROLS:
I really liked the quick time event thing, but I have to say that the game developers really screw up in how they made the characters to move, you have to use your annalog stick to choose were you want to move, but you need to press R2 to actually start moving. Infact that isn't that bad until you are in a small space or with a bad camera angle and your character starts to move like stupid.
---------------------------------------------------------
DIFFICULTY
Super easy, I never died even though I used the hardest mode.
And I actually suck at playing games lol.
In this game you will never get lost, or get to a point were you don't know what to do next. It's kinda linnear gameplay, but you choose the path you want to take.
-----------------------------------------------------
GAME DURATION:
Seriously, this was a huge dissapointment for me, such a greaat gamee with awesome story, but supeer short!
It is the only game I've ever finished on the ps3, and I finished in only ONE day, I mean come oon, all this time wating for this game to come out to finish it in only one day u_u.
-----------------------------------------------------
TECHNICAL ISSUES:
I noticed a few bugs during gameplay such as sound being clipped or being offsync sometimes. Two times the game froze completely and had to hard reset my ps3. A few save issues, that when I continued a saved file it wouldn't start, or it would leave my character out of the map literally forcing me to restart the game.
Probably they will make patches later on; well, atleast that's what I hope so..
-----------------------------------------------------
REPLAY VALUE:
It is pretty high, well only if you want to get the platinum trophy.
-------------------------------------------------------
CONCLUSION:
I really liked this game, most of it because of the story which sucks you in. If you like great story telling like me, then you should GET THIS GAME. If you hate short games DO NOT GET THIS GAME lol cause it will piss you off when you finish the game under 12 hours even though you didn't rushed through the game and you interacted with every single thing you could in the game.
It really is a movie...or game whatever.. I rate it 9.1 :)
