Good story and characters, VERY DEPRESSING and it caused system crashes
User Rating: 8 | Overclocked: A History of Violence PC
This game has a really good story about a psychiatrist who goes to a mental hospital to try and find out why these kids have become mentally ill and have been wondering around NYC barely dressed and shooting guns for no reason. He uses hypnosis and you learn why they have these violent urges as well as his own. His wife wants a divorce because of his violent past. In the end, you learn why. The story is VERY DEPRESSING. I think it makes Half Life 2 seem like a comedy. For example, you have a deer caught in barbed wire and you have to kill it to take it out of its misery, I have no idea why it was in the game and it was pretty awful as the deer is screaming in pain. It did nothing for the story and seem to make no sense. I had two major crashes and I have no idea why. The loading time of the animated scenes took forever- I never saw any game take so long to load. It has no patches. Do LOTS of saves since it does not do automatic ones and if it crashes, you will have no idea where in the world you are when you get back in as it erases everything you did. The click and point movement is a bit of a drag but you get used to it. It did have some pretty hard to solve action sequences. The last part was really hard. All in all a pretty cool game.
