Well, I've been chipping away at this game for what feels like ages, taking it in bit by bit and finally tonight I sat down and said I'm finishing this game, and so I did, and all I can say is wow. So I'm going to write my thoughts about it. First thing I'm going to say is its worth 15$.
Just a short bit for anyone who likes it short, but for you people that like it long... haha :P sorry. Uhh anyways, for the longer version,
basically in Indigo Prophecy you play as Lucas Cane that basically is a killer, the first scene you play sets you up as a murderer and the police begin to solve the case and find out who you are but you find out there is more to this then first glance.
I don't want to go into to much detail in the story aspect because its a very well written story and its easy to giveaway information. Anyways so the best aspect of Indigo Prophecy is, like I said its story shines bright. I got very entwined into the story and always came back wanting to know the ending, There are a lot of twists and turns and it makes for an amazing story.
The game play is something that could have been made better for sure, the camera controls can get very annoying at times but most of the time its no big deal. The game is played pretty much like a movie. It is an adventure game, so the camera is obviously third person. Another complaint I have is a few of the missions that I found unnecessary and pretty much straight up crap I didn't enjoy playing them at all. But on the flip side there are many amazing control and game play mechanics. Most of the game is played using the right thumb stick as your action, so when you want to get up you tilt the right thumb stick up, just take my word for it, it fits in well, it may not sound great but its better then it sounds. As well there are cut scenes that are contact sensitive, so you will see 2 circles with colours up down left and right ( and there are 2 circles) the one on the left represents your left thumb stick and the one on your right represents your right thumb stick and they will flash like up down up down and you'll have to tilt the thumb sticks accordingly, its a lot of fun.
The graphics are passable, I mean it is an Xbox Original so don't expect marvelous graphics, its probably a little under the bar for the time of release but its not the graphics that are what you should play this game for.
The sound is very well done, there are many close quarters, spooky area's where the music kicks in just at the right time, as well when the cops are coming it changes to a track that makes you more aware and nervous, the sounds is well presented.
All in all, this game is worth the 15$ to play through the amazing story and just get to play basically a movie, but I warn you there is one level in the game that you will probably get stuck on because it is not obvious. If you have any troubles and you don't feel like searching up for a guide comment, I'll comment back and if u see 2 or more comments in the box, chances are the answers in there. I would rate this game 8.5/10 , AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
