Indigo Prophecy

I recently picked this game up for two main reasons. One being that it's in the same realm as heavy rain will be, and two because I needed something to feed my need until heavy rain comes out.

To start things off this game really knows how to bring the player in. I was frightened a couple times in this game just because I was so lured in by the atmosphere.

Some things that I just loved about this game is that it dared to be different. It takes a new view on fighting and dealing with enemies. Instead of a trigger or a X button here and there to attack your foes you actually just simply play a type of simon says like game. At first I thought it was sort of childish but depending on the level of difficulty set it can prove quite challenging. Especially when you come about the dreaded press L1 and R1 sim alternatively. It really takes some getting used to, but makes you feel like you're more so along for a ride.

On the other hand this game did have some faults such as it's matrix like fighting seens that caught me off gaurd and felt pretty corny. The place that the story ended up being taken to was kind of dissapointing as well. I feel that they could have gone in so many different directions. But I guess for it's time it wasn't bad.

All in all I enjoyed this game because it was something new. It brought new elements into cinematic gaming that acutally made me look forward to more games of the genre. I can only hope that heavy rain is more than double of what this game could have been in the story department.
