This is really going to be an strange little game.

The reviews should all hinge on whether this game is fun to play or not.

Leaving aside all the its just an interactive movie nonesense if its fun and engaging give it good marks.

I expect EDGE to review this quite favourably as traditionally they like to support departures from the norm.

Anyway so what if its an interactive movie. So was Dragons Lair and I still occasionally play that little beauty.

And that's where this game differs. It isn't Dragon's Lair, Cage has made this quite clear. Regardless, I agree with your viewpoint though, and think this will be a love it/hate it game with no grey in between.

Yeah agree. I only mention Dragons Lair as its often pilloried for the one thing that made the game unique.

Reckon history could repeat itself on that point.

Given the polar opposites that the game will no doubt cause I doubt its going to be a metacritic hit but I think its important to let the people decide if they like it or not

For instance Dead Space was one of my games of the generation but its reviews could be considered somewhat lacklustre.

Same for Dead Rising. Its save system was slated but for me it made the game and I loved its approach.
