[February] Fahrenheit

[charlesr]

This is on the Xbox, PS2 and PC and getting hold of it for £6 or so should be easy.

I know nothing about it. We don't seem to have a review of it either.
Mostly received pretty well and apparantly has a great story.

By the same director as the upcoming Heavy Rain.

Please chip if you are playing it now or have played it in the past.

. The game was EDGE's monthly Time Extend subject last month in E209. There's also a letter in this month's issue in response.

Also available at a high price via Xbox Originals on 360 Live.

It's ?2.99 on Xbox in Gamestation (if your local store has any in).

I bought it the other day and the opening section is still really good to play. It draws you in and the tension really builds as you

I picked this up on Steam, my non-gaming girlfriend has mentioned this a few times in the past too, so now I have an excuse to play it.

This is one of my all time favourite games, I just love it. Having said that, there are also a lot of people who seem to hate it lol.

I agree with what you say Teddymeow about the intro section. In some ways it is probably the best part of the game.......

I must have played the gamea handful of times now and for some strange reason I have ended up with 2 copies

I have my gripes about the game, but for the most part I enjoyed the game a lot and luved the style in which it was all executed. Simons says..... elements have no business in a video game, especially not in a modern one, but it brought with it a kind of tension at crucial points........

I remember trying to max up the characters morale to see what happens, and for the most part its nothing special. Will try and dig it out again this weekend to have a blast over the Diner part again

This should give me that joy joy feeling inside, ready for Heavy Rain

Are there multiple paths? How long does it take to play through once?

[112]

I would say, a first play through would take about 8 hours maybe. I depends what type of gamer you are. If like me who likes to see as much as possible on the first play through, it could take about 12+. If you are blitzing through it, maybe 5 hours? Oh and it depends how much patience you got with the Simon Says elements.

If you have not played the game before, it is definately worth your time to experience it. More so if you are planning to get Heavy Rain soon, so that you can see where some of the inspiration came from.
