Many would say that call of duty was the best, we say different!
"From the makers of the award-winning smash hit Heavy Rain comes an original, interactive psychological thriller starring Hollywood actors Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe. Lead the life of Jodie Holmes, a young woman who possesses supernatural powers through her psychic link to an invisible entity." - Official PlayStation Website. This level of interaction between a film and a game has been well anticipated, 2013 has been the year it has finally happened.
Playing as young Jodie Holmes throughout fifteen years of her life allows the player to completely engage within the story. The character development throughout the gameplay is incredible, each person with their own back story to contribute to the story of Jodie Holmes. As with all Quantic Dream games, such as Heavy Rain, the interactivity of the game allows the gamer to control the fate of the protagonist and other characters. While there are set "missions" YOU control the outcome.
Throughout the game, you play as Jodie Holmes, however at many points you can play as the Entity attached to her. Aiden.
Although the game play is very well orchestrated, it can feel like you're watching a film too much of the time, the amazing cut scenes and scenery can almost trick the mind into forgetting that you're playing a game, and not watching a film. Saying that, it is a huge advancement in the gaming world, this won't be the last we see of the "Interactive Film"
THE GOOD
The game play was incredible
THE BAD
This game was almost too much like a film.
