Farenheit
Farenheit, also know as the Indigo Prophecy
tells the tale of Lucas Kane and the story of what happens when a man
tries to solve the mystery of a murder that he himself committed.
One of
the first things that you are going to notice about this game is that
there is a real story behind it all. Farenheit tells a gripping tale
that you will not forget in a hurry. With a true knack for holding you
to the game via an intense storyline, creating the feeling of a real
novel/movie type scenario that you can control. It’s gripping,
compelling and I think that most people who buy this game and know what
they are getting themselves into are going to find that they made a
fantastic purchasing decision.
The
title focuses on giving gamers choice. Everything you choose to do in
game can have flow on effects that are felt to some degree in the title.
Some of them gave me the feeling of purely being a choice that did not
have any long lasting effects, however some really did carry through and
effect the way that the game turned out.
The
game looks great and is a real credit to programming for the PS2,
everything looks fab and there is not the usual feeling that it could
have been done better that I’ve been experiencing with a number of PS2
titles of late.
The
control system is an odd one, more movement based than your traditional
shooting and action affair. Also to be noted is the Mental health gauge
that takes the place of your normal titles. Make sure that you keep a
note of the gauge as if it drops too low then you are in Game Over
territory. Good mental health can be sustained by finding positive
things to interact with during gameplay such as your friends and family
or food that Lucas enjoys.
The
overall feeling to this magnificent game is that of a truly immersive
experience that has had massive amounts of attention given to it. There
are a number of different finishes to the game as well and you should be
sure to go back and explore them as they do make for an overall highly
entertaining experience. Just remember that this isn’t a shooter, it’s
well paced and really well thought out.
For
those who might be daunted by the thought of going back through the game
just to see a different result, you can visit chapters separately which
certainly helps.
I
highly recommend this title to all gamers who are after an outstanding
plot and riveting gaming experience.
