Indigo Prophecy

I rented Indigo Prophecy for the PS2 from Rogers yesterday and, man, what an awesome game.

It plays as a movie where a possessed man kills someone, then you take control of the killer (Lucas Kane). Your first task is to get out of the diner without being arrested. Then you take control of the detectives who are after Lucas.

The game plays as a movie, with each scene having you use the analog sticks to perform action sequences, ask certain questions and move, and the L1 and R1 buttons to do strenuous activities. The whole game ends up being you playing cat and mouse with yourself.

All the choices you make in the game affect everything else in the story. Like, if you are playing the detectives and DON'T look for the murder weapon, then you won't have prints to bring your "murderer" in, etc.

The story unfolds to some REALLY sweet action scenes and a pretty involving storyline. I won't give any of that away.

My only gripe is that, even though there is a re-playability factor (different choices lead to different angles and endings) I finished the game in about 6 or 7 hours on Normal difficulty.

Although quite fun to play, especially the action sequences, the short time deems this as a rental.

i have played many games in my life and this game i found a bit different from other games. because in this game the movie is being played in the game and it seems that Ur completing the movie of this game.No doubt its very exceptional and logical game.strategy is also needed. the graphics are fine and most of all I'm inspired with the story line and the way it is being told step by step as u move on. this game seems to be addicted to me and i cant pass a day if i don't play this game.this game has everything mystery,horror, love,emotions,investigation,thriller, sex and action.

this game has some key features which makes it an interesting game. it has a strong story line ,flawless vocal performances and music.u have to be totally involve in this game.

i have reached 23 chapters so far and the story is turning to be more interesting.if u haven't played this game then go and play this game i highly recommend it.

I played the original game way back then ... and I replayed it last year in the remastered version for the PS4 too. Although it was better graphically speaking, it still lacks what technology has done to newer games. There are other technical flaws and issues too when it comes to controlling that could not be rendered away - no pun intended. But what remains at heart is an amazing and great story! A story that makes fun to play and find out where it leads you.

If you don't mind the issues I talked about ... I suggest to go on and try it. Do not judge this after 30 minutes - but if it is fun all the way up to that point, you can expect it to be the rest of the way too! Very well told and more than intriguing.

only 30 Min's in the game and it's so exciting, the graphics, and story are both top notch. The voice acting for the characters is so good, it makes you wonder if you are really playing a game and not watching a movie. Being able to ask plenty of questions to other characters is another fine point as well as interacting with different things around your surrounding. There is just so many things to do. throughout the game you can find bonus points which you can use to unlock pictures, video clips and music from the soundtrack.

this is the best game i have ever played, the storyline is gripping and iv'e only played the first 30 minutes. I can only wonder what will happen as i progress.

Many of you will know and appreciate Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human but where that genre truly started was right here with Fahrenheit otherwise known as the Indigo Prophecy (Or Indigo Child).

It tells the story of several people all connected to a murder that took place in a diner bathroom. A man on the run, police officers after him, but nothing is quite what it seems and a supernatural force appears to be overseeing everything that transpires. But to what end?

I was gripped from the opening moments, the decisions I had to make to progress the story were really quite fascinating and I can confidently say the first time around I didn't make the most logical ones.

With a great voice cast, a powerful psychological thriller of a story and intricately woven decision making system I was suitably impressed.

Sure it looks dated and the controls are more than a little clunky but that was to be expected back then. Everything else makes up for it ten fold, not to mention the fantastic soundtrack. Had it not been for Fahrenheit I wouldn't have been introduced to the incredible band Theory of a Deadman.

An absolute masterpiece, if you haven't play it then do something about that.

The Good:

Incredible story

Brilliant decision making system

Outstanding soundtrack

The Bad:

Finale is questionable

Clunky and ugly in places

Things I Learnt From This Game:

I have a major softspot for interactive movies

I'd make a terrible murderer

Pushing up to thrust is both a satisfying and creepy experience
