This is a true interactive movie.

It's difficult to sum up how great this game is. Any game that starts up with you murdering someone and having to escape the scene of the crime unhindered is something special right from the get-go. With an interesting story mechanic which features you switching between the murderer and the cops hunting him down, and an interesting occult-filled story between the two, not to mention a gradual lead into apocolypse, there's plenty of interesting story to get you by. Gameplay isn't the strongest suit of this game. Control of your character is similar to the old Resident Evil games. It's not horrible, but it could have been better. Where this game excels though, is in the other gameplay mechanics. You don't just watch the cinematic sequences, you interact with them via timed button presses that generally involve whatever you're doing in the movie. This is handled through a translucent display that allows you to time your buttons while never feeling removed from the scene. Towards the end of the game the story starts to unravel. You can tell the developers wrote themselves into a corner. A sudden third party appears practically out of nowhere with very little explanation of where they came from and why. This almost ruins the story, but the developers somehow manage to barely hold it all together leading to a satisfactory ending. All in all this is an amazing adventure game that does so many things different and right that you can't help but be impressed with what they've accomplished here. In a world full of point and click adventure, this is definitely something different and worthwhile. Everybody should at least giv e this game a shot. You'll be surprised.
