This would of made it to hollywood but not worth a game, found myself asking too many questions.

The game could of not started any better, with the murder scene. The game runs very well and you have to be on your toes at all times. My understanding was that you were to control the main characters in the story whilst playing the game, which was true but having to switch between characters did make the storyline slightly confusing.

Putting aside the good looking graphics and sound, you have to ask yourself, does this game leave a sequel with many unanswered questions? The answer to that is no, because I have many questions for the makers of the game.

I could easily sum up the story in a paragraph but that would be too easy, heres what I think about the whole thing.

The game story has many twists, good start with the murder scene, you are brought live into the action. You find out ways on how to escape from where you are and avoid the police. The bad side I suppose is that you have to follow one real good path, you should be able to have several paths which you feel decide the best way to complete the game. Many would say there is but I get the sense that all they want is a good story regardless of the development of exploring other ways around the game.

On too many occasions, you do get lost in what is happening. I dont want to spoil what could be seen as a good side, with the great cinematics that come into it from time to time. One minute, you are with one character and wish to find out more answers and investigate further. However, the crunch comes when you have to stop and take over another character. I found this, strangely, frustrating because I had to pause and gather what was happening. The game was moulded too much into a movie, rather than adoring the cinematics, I wanted to get into grips the storyline.

The storyline, to me, was disappointing especially with the reasons behind what the story was all about. It became from a hero to villain game by the story developing into a sci-fi by involving super natural powers researching to find more answers. Some characters were pointless, although with their small part as an extra, the main character's brother, who is a Priest comes in awkwardly at times where you feel by removing the character would not even made a difference. In fact, it just occupied more of your time and to be honest, I would of finished the game in under 5 hours!

To summarise, I finally realised that it was movie and not a movie that I would want to watch again. Good plot from the start but again, it had a bad ending. Questions have to be ask why turn it into a supernatural thriller and confuse the viewers on what exactly they are trying to find. Characters changed their tunes a lot, more hollywood than brains to me. The game engine, the sound and the graphics should all be taken again. Please, to make it work this time, work on the story and equip it with a sequel, that would actually end up making sense.
