Fahrenheit - XBox

While at the video shop we also hired out Farenheit. I haven't made it very far into the game yet and didn't read the instruction book, but this is a very interesting game. Essentially you play multiple characters. So you start off playing the murderer - which is actually rather fun as you meticulously move the body and clean up and stuff (watching CSI really comes in handy for knowing what you should do). Then the story switches and you start playing the two detectives looking into the murder. Which is nowhere near as much fun, there are already way too many boring games out there where you are trying to solve the crime.... Playing the crimenal on the other hand is a different approach and rather fun.

Essentially its an interactive movie, you kind of go along with whats happening making certain decisions along the way and see what happens. There is also a lot of talking in the game, so you select what you want to say to a person from a list of options - only unilke most other games, you only have a certain amount of time to decide what you are going to say, or any other decisions that you are going to make for that matter.

The controls are pretty standard, except for when you have to react to something quickly - when that happens you have to quickly move the thumbsticks in a certain pattern that appears on the screen - so far it doesn't seem like a too bad idea. Anyway i'll most likely keep playing this game and see what happens.
