An Original Choose-Your-Own Adventure

User Rating: 9.1 | Indigo Prophecy XBOX
It's not often a game comes along and encourages you to think "outside the box". Thankfully, there are still some companies out there that dare to try something different. And that's exactly what Indigo Prophecy is... something different.

This game is true itself, even from the very beginning where you choose to not start a new game, but a new movie. The opening credits and narrative reveal that this will not be typical experience. The mechanics are simple enough, borrowing from the classic Shenmue II, making most cinematics in the game itself an interactive experience. You will switch characters in the different acts, causing you to think and act differently than you have ever in an adventure game. You will have to make decisions that effect your path and overall emotion of your character. Yes, I said "emotion". If you become too depressed by making too many ill decisions, your outcome will not be a favorable one.

You are the star in this interactive movie game experience and it reminds you of that every step of the way. You make the choices. You perform the actions. You drive the story.

If you enjoy adventure games and like a good story, then you will enjoy experience. Do not hesitate on this one. You will not be disappointed.
