More of a film than a game by the looks of it. £40 for a film? Think I will pass...

Even IF it was a movie, it would stil be worth it. A gazillion people, inclusing me, paid 20 pounds for the Dark Knight Rises on Bluray and that was 2 hours long. So why would this one, with a much longer story not be worth it? Maybe because you're just biased!?

How am I biased?! I have not played it so can't be either for or against it....I am not going to praise something that I have not experienced and likewise I am not going to bash it.

But based on the reviews I think it is pretty clear to say it is more of a film than a game. Nearly every review mentions it. 

As a huge Heavy Rain fan (check my trophies) I was 'hoping' for something a bit like that. The ability to make decisions that shape the story, with the same level of interaction. 

The game has a lot of cut scenes, but so do other games. The Final Fantasy series and Metal Gear series have them. But beyond the cut scenes there is also an actual game to play with vasts amounts of things to do. This 'game' looks different in that it really isn't a game beyond the cut scenes. 

For the price you could get a lot of Blu-Rays, you could buy the lord of the rings extended editions and alien anthology. 7 films which I am sure add up to more than 12 hours.

Like I said paying £40 for pretty much a film you might not even like seems a tad too much. But hey that is my opinion.
