Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: In a nutshell: The term "interactive movie" is justly associated with misguided attempts at combining games and film. Fahrenheit’s cinematic leanings, however, incorporate the elements that make movies different (characters, tension and plot) with well thought-out game mechanics, and the result is uniquely thrilling. The lowdown: Making decisions against a rapidly dwindling timer, your character wakes up having just committed a bizarre ritual murder of which he has no memory. You must switch between playing the fugitive and the cops on his trail, your conflicting jobs are to help the anti-hero escape and conversely to help put him behind bars. But what mysterious force drove him to kill in the first place? Most exciting moment: Frequent interludes of rapid button pressing simulate physical exertion as your character escapes a looming threat you can see catching up with you. Your heart will be palpitating. Your nerves will be frayed. Since you ask: The introduction and brief tutorial from the game’s "writer/director" David Cage, is actually the head of the title’s French development team, Quantic Dream, animated as a videogame character. The bottom line: Utterly superb movie-style thriller with genuine frights and a superbly tense climax.  Nick Gillett Manufacturer's Description: New York January 2009 For no apparent reason, ordinary people are killing total strangers. Although there are no direct links between the murders, they all show the same ritual patterns. Lucas Kane becomes one of these murderers, and haunted by strange visions he must try to keep one step ahead of the police to discover what is happening to him. Inspector Carla Valenti and Agent Tyler Miles are heading up the investigation. A series of disturbing clues takes them into a world they can only dream of. Meanwhile the early onset of winter paralyses Manhattan in an unbearable grip of snow and cold. Each day the temperature drops as the winter conditions draw over the dark streets of New York. The final countdown has already begun! Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great concept but poorly executed. First of all I would like to say that "Eddie_Currents" review of this game is pretty much spot on but here is my two bits worth anyway. I had high hopes for this game based on the various reviews I had seen on the internet and was intrigued by the idea of an interactive movie with an innovative game style. The reality though was a game that was repetitive and awkward and ultimately doesn't live up to the hype. The game gets of to a good start with some slick looking graphics and an captivating opening sequence. You find yourself the victim of mind control murdering a man you have never met. So far so good. Then the problems start. Your view of the character is by way of a third person camera that you can alter by using ... Read More: Rating:  - Xbox Movie MakerPoint and click adventures like the fabulous Monkey Island - a genre I love very much - are seriously thin on the ground for consoles like the Xbox. The closest in real terms was probably Broken Sword 3, but Fahrenheit - known as 'Indigo Prophecy' outside of Europe - is not a bad effort either and generally deserves the accolades it received upon release. It plays like an interactive movie - basically, you have to do a minimum set of the right things in each act in order to progress to the next act. As in a classic point-and-clicker you move from location to location exploring, finding and using objects and having conversations with the various characters you meet. In addition, there are a number of high-octane 'action' sequences which ... Read More: Rating: - Truely great...!I loved this game, totally different from what I expected, highly reccomend to anyone. This is a must have game for the xbox. I for one have told all my friends about it as none of them had heard of it - which is a crime! Rating: - A game that has to be playedi got this game on the off chance and then decided to play it at first i was unimpressed but as the story unfolds the game engroces you into it and the game increase in impressiveness one slight flaw i found is that the game is to short if it was a couple f gameplay hours longer it would be he perfect game one game that can be completed with one weekends solid play Rating: - buy this game on the pc I am writing reviews and rating all the D.V.D and games that I own on Amazon. The pc version of the game is not available on Amazon and all I have is the pc version but have tried out the xbox version and it is a hundred times more difficult and frustrating than the pc version. I do think at some stages this game is unnecessarily difficult such as the bit in the library where no real hints where given and I ended up looking at the walk free guide for that. The bit in the apartment and the wind was also I believe unnecessarily difficult for a part that is so near to the start of the game. However I enjoyed this game immensely the story is thrilling and the choices that you make are at some points shocking. I would say that the plots ... Read More: |
