9/10
Amazing

This game is the reason why many people around the world play video games. For experiences like playing Indigo Prophecy which is a superb game in many different ways.

Story: Unlike in many games, Indigo Prophecy has a brilliant story about an ordinary guy Lucas Kane who kills a man in a bathroom located in a restaurant. The thing is Lucas doesn't even know the man and had no control over killing him. This opens many layers as you can alter the choices you make affecting the story. For example in the beginning the restaurant waitress won't recognize you say you pay a tip, but if you forget she will remember your face and the cops will have a better chance of tracking you down. That is just a small sample of how innovative this game is. The story in the end isn't as simple as it sounds. You'll have cops chasing you, run from demons, and even at the end of the game or towards the end will fight using the unique analog control system. The only con about the story is the end may leave some going "What the ****!" Still not a terrible ending that ruins the story, but if there is any complaint that would have to be it.

Gameplay: This game may seem at first like any normal game, but what you quickly realize after beating it is the fact you felt like you were controlling a movie. The control system is very hard to describe in words, but you use two analog sticks and have to time everyone to do the sequence you're supposed to do in the scene. The way you play as a criminal then switch to the police officers is a good twist in a game of this nature. It makes you feel weird because you don't know who to root for as you keep switching back and forth. The characters in the game big or small are great and some you interact with provide some fun addictive mini games. Lastly the game is pretty average sized only 8 to 12 hours, but the way you can change the story is enough to play through it over and over again.

Overall: 5/5
