Indigo Prophecy

I wont comment on zelda too much here...cause i played it alot as a kid... well...not a ton but... in any case its a good game... but Indigo P i have never played and i thought it was great... at first I thought it might be alittle much... require to much attention for me... but as soon as i started playing it i loved it... i even want to buy the game... It draws you in like a film, which i think we all are comfortable with that feeling, so to then be able to interact with that is what hooks me.... plus this level of problem solving, while on the back of what appears to be a very concidered and interesting narrative....the dual character / perspective elelment is good to.... to play both sides and then have them meet and intertwine with eachother allows for alot of interesting game play and story development.... these type of games, because they feel like a movie... really require great narratives, unlike a game like karate champ, where most of the games value is in the moves and funny characters... i dont take karate champ as serious (thats a lie) because it doesnt require the amount of attention and focus as a game like Indigo P... so it great to see the effort put into the IP narrative, that can support the amount of "life" given by the player... like a flim... if im goin to sit in a theater for 2 hours in the dark giving all my attention to the screen... it better be worth it... IP is rewarding in he immediate level (with great character control and stuff) and rewarding on another level with this great unfolding narrative....im on that game first thing mon morning..aha...m

Glad you like the game. I started playing it very enthusiastically. The open scene is very compelling. Then I spent 30 mins trying to find the murder weapon. After repeated visits to the bathroom (nice) I found it under the urinals. It was impossible to move on until the knife was found. Well, what if I missed it? I was also frustrated that I couldn't follow the murdered into the subway. Seems reasonable. We'll see how it goes.......... I do like the movie feel of the game tho.
