I just finished the first episode, and thought I would post my thoughts and see what everyone else thinks of the game.
First off I am a big fan of the television series, so I went ahead and bought the 5-Episode package from the PS Store and I am glad I did.
-The game play in the game is different than most other games I have played and much of it is based on decision making, and unlike many other games you can see immediate impact on the game from these decisions. I really liked the notes were the game told you the AI were taking notes on your responses.
- I was doubtful if the game designers would be able to transfer the anxiety you can experience in the series to the game, and overall they were able to do so by placing time limits on responses and actions.
- On a less positive note, the game can be a little drawn out (kinda like the series at times), with excess dialogue and not as much action as I would have expected.
Overall, I think the game is fairly well done. I think by taking a non-traditional form a control and gameplay the developers were able to make it feel like you are participating in an episode and that the choices you are making really matter. I think if they had chosen a tpical third-person shooter style form of gameplay not many people would have been impressed, as few people are with tv-to-game games.
Finally, I thought it was interesting that the game displayed your decisions in comparison to decisions others made.
What decisions did you guys make?
