Overview
Fahrenheit, a spectacular interactive thriller, set in New-York, gives gamers the unique chance to play both hunter and fugitive, which in turn leads them to speak, explore, interact, fight and confront unknown dark forces. For no apparent reason, ordinary people are randomly killing total strangers. Although there is no link between the murderers, they all seem to follow exactly the same ritual and pattern. Lucas Kane becomes one of these murderers when he kills a stranger in the men's room...

My Review
This is a really good game, with a good storyline, but can be a bit confusing at first but you'll soon get into it. It's a point and click game where the choices you make throughout the game affect the final outcome (there are 4 possible endings, I've only seen 2 of them), this makes the games lifespan incredibly long. I feel that this game never really got the credit it deserved from anyone, i only came across it by mistake, (i was looking on google for the movie "Fahrenheit 9/11" when i found it) and im glad i did. You can now get this game for less than £10 on sites like Play.com. Overall this is one of my favourite games ever (a close second behind GTA Vice City), i really thought that the storyline was great and the gameplay was unique.

MY OVERALL SCORE 10/10

Nice to see you've added your bit to the Review Board, hopefully it'll become a great place to share views and save each other money or on the other hand make people spend money

I'll check out the demo and then if I like it get the full game, seems a bit weird but I'm all for it considering I just finished my Business Studies Research Assignment

Ah, the game with the similar split screen camera captures you see in 24. A game that’s always asking you questions, one were you have to act quickly rather than the use of deep thought. The graphics aren’t breath taking, but that wasn’t the focus and they’re pleasing enough on the eye. I don’t like the controls, they are far from perfect. It can become very frustrating at times. It has very good voice acting. It’s worth picking up for £10. The game itself is quite captivating, in the sense that the story line is relatively good (apart from it had to be quickly completed, resulting in the last third of the game losing direction, which is a shame, because the opening sequence should have been something to build on) pretty in depth and keeps you wanting more, but it just doesn’t deliver enough on the longevity front. Quantic Dream surprised me with this. Definatly not a 10 though.
