New concepts off old ideas, and a bit short. Also sometimes game play is not challenging at all.

Let me start off by saying that I like the idea behind this game. You do actions with the controller and you can control the speed of the actions. You can also fail if you make mistakes or do the wrong actions. However, is this really as new as it's being passed off to be. Some what yes, and some what no. I would say I enjoyed the idea behind this but is it really new and innovative to make the player perform certain actions on the controller? No it's not.

Also this game is a bit dry at times. I mean really, there is no emotion in the main characters at times. They don't ever get excited when they find a clue or anything, it's just the same string of "alright, gotta keep moving." or "I need to do the next thing."

The storyline is the big seller in this game, but the sad part is that there really is not as much replay value as one might think. Playing the game differently basically only changes the end result, and not much within the road to the end result.

Not to mention anyone could finish this game in a couple of days if they played non-stop. There is also a lack of challenge as well. While some of the fast paced scenes are challenging, the other 85% of the game is easy as stealing candy from a baby.

While I deeply enjoyed the game I can't give it more than an 8.
