This wasn't really a game to me, but more like an interactive novel, or a modern day Dragon's Lair. Still a must play.
You control 4 characters, Ethan: a father who is greiving the death of one of his sons while trying to save another from the Oragami Killer. Madison: a journalist who befriends Ethan. Scott Shelly: A "private investigator". and FBI Social Profiler, Norman Jayden: has a drug dependancy.
The point of the story is to save Ethan'sson shaun who is kidnapped by the Oragami Killer.
Each action and decision has a consequence that can alter the game. Any of the 4 characters you play as can die. This game was clever and often had me wanting to keep playing, the story draws you in and the characters have appeal to them.
The graphics are great for the character models and some of the environments, but sometimes objects can look dull or lack detail. This dosent take away from the game in any way though.
I wont go too much into the story because I dont want to ruin it for people who havent played this game yet. But I will say this game starts out slow, probably to accomidate you to the controls and motions. One problem I had was controilling your character. You have to hold R2 to make the character walk and steer them with the analog stick, it kind of felt like I was controlling a car.
All in all this "game" If thats what you want to call it is a must play for any PS3 owner.
