Pretty cool.
I'll have to mess around with that when I have more time.

I like the idea and I think I would like the story. But the QTE's suck!

So I tried the demo and found the controlls to be "un-fun" for lack of a better term. I just heard an interview with the game director where they wanted you to feel the stress/suspense of the onscreen action and thats why you need to use all the sixaxxis movements and multiple button presses.

I guess he does not watch film or he would know you can express suspense and empathy for a protagaist with NO control!

Well having decided to never play the game with those controls I decided to go look at the walkthroughs on youtube. I am watching Centerstrain01's videos. He goes a little nuts with the commentary at first but he calms down after a few videos.

I am about half way through now and I have seen worst scripts in feature films though the acting is strictly SyFy class at best.

I cannot help but think this would have been a pretty interesting game had the designers just used decent controls.

Once you get used to them the controls aren't that bad. Walking around does kind of suck though.

Finished the video's last night. Last 15% of the story fell APART! So badly they had to go back with "flashbacks" to try and fit the killer in.

Still worthe the time but I was getting worried at about 50% that things would not go smoothly in the second half... it held up longer than expected but it did not end well.
