The breakdown:
How far would you go to save someone you love? This engaging cinema like game makes you make big decisions fast to answer that very question.
This was a highly anticipated game when it was released. The graphics are STUNNING! They took state of the art digital renderings of actual actors faces and put them on screen in fantastic realism. What you see is basically what these people actually look like. At the time I played it, I was really amazed. I also had a huge crush on the FBI agent, which at the time, I was embarrassed to admit since I thought it was just a video game character and not based on a real person. Now that I've seen the actor (Leon Ockenden), he's totally, totally HOT (and British)!
The premise is that you start out as a man named Ethan Mars. He's a father with two kids and a wife. Through a series of events one of your children gets kidnapped at a large outdoor public place and your wife blames you which leads to a divorce. You live in a very gloomy rainy city and there's this serial killer that uses extended periods of rainfall to drown victims. The killer is referred to as the Origami Killer and this person has your child. The killer tests you through the game to see how far you are willing to go to save your kid. During the game you interact and become 4 different characters which keeps things interesting and you on your feet. It's stylized like film noir and is very realistic. It's very replayable since you can make thousands of different decisions and probably hundreds of outcomes at the end. I thoroughly enjoyed it and played it twice myself.

I give it 5 out of 5 for amazing recreation of real people and a truly unique game with endless combinations for endings and decision making.
