OK, so I'm playing Indigo Prophecy, which is one I never noticed last gen but had heard a little bit about how it had a good story.

***There be spoilers below***

This game starts off ****ing amazing. When you're in the diner, and it shows you the cop outside, I really thought "Oh shit what the **** am I going to do!". The first time I played through that level, it timed out perfectly as well. I put up the knife, washed up, and just as I was about to leave the cop gets up, and we brush shoulders right in the middle of the diner. As soon as I get past him I haul ass towards the door. At this point I'm thinking this is going to be one of the best gaming experiences ever, even if it is more of an interactive movie.

The next few levels only back up that initial rush of awesome. Investigating the scene of the murder, saving (or not) the little boy then the cop letting you go.

But I think the devs were eating a lot of Taco Bell while making this game, because it promptly decides to shit itself. You're in his office, get a call to go fix something, then you're fighting giant bugs. He's running up the ****ing wall like Jet Li. The stupid simon says shit you have to do the whole time. I've read some other opinions, in fact there's a big thread on NeoGAF that inspired this post, and it looks likes it only gets more ridiculous. I'm not even sure I want to finish it now if it's just more of this.
