This game is not for those who exclusively play mindless action games. There are real characters and narrative here. For those wanting to see a great story AND play a great game you can't go wrong with Indigo Prophecy.

This game has a very interesting storyline which keeps players coming back to see how it turns out, but near the end some things get way too out there, and it doesn't conclude as well as it starts. The dialogue can be annoying at times, people just don't talk like they do in real life, and this affects the whole interactive movie thing the game is going for. Overall its a fun experience, but trial and error gameplay and things getting too weird near the end make this game fall short of a 5/5.

Indigo Prophecy is a rather interesting title. It thinks outside the box, it's different from all other games, you are never given a weapon; instead it requires a lot of thought and quick reflexes, and it's the only game that actually qualifies as a game of drama.
WHAT THE GAME IS: Well, it qualifies as an adventure game, but you can't exactly pigeonhole it into what kind of game it is, it's that unique. It's January 2009, in New York City, a series of murders involving ordinary people who kill total strangers in public places is occurring. There is no connection between these murders other than they all follow the same ritualistic killing methods. One of the protagonists in a game; Lucas Kane; becomes the latest person to kill someone in a public place. For no apparent reason, Lucas kills a man in the bathroom of a restaurant, so he must avoid capture from the police. The story also stars two police detectives; Carla Valenti and Tyler Miles; who are working on the case and they are playable characters as well. The game is all about quick reflexes and strategically (not to mention frantically) carrying out your actions and choosing what the characters say during a conversation.
GRAPHICS: These graphics don't look that great, even for when it was released in 2005. The textures are lousy and the animation is stiff.
MUSIC: It's good and it sets the drama mood as well as for the frantic moments of gameplay.
SOUNDS: Mostly just talking.
GAMEPLAY: Okay, let's just get the bad part out of the way, the controls are awful and are very difficult to get used to. The gameplay relies almost exclusively on the analog sticks, I'm not kidding. Almost all the movements and actions are done via analog sticks. But once you get the hang of the controls, the game turns out to be quite an entertaining piece of work. There are no guns, no weapons of any kind. The gameplay revolves around the everyday lives of Lucas and the two detectives. Whether it be relationship problems, going to work, working on the computer, analyzing evidence and crimes, drowning your sorrows in alcohol or drugs, saving people from drowning, hiding evidence, having strange visions, engaging in conversation, opening things, listening to music, playing guitar, and avoiding becoming an emotional wreck this drama title has got all of this and more. It requires a lot of use from your brain, so if you only like the old Xbox for shooters, you won't like this game because it has no weapons.
OVERALL: If you like games that are out of the ordinary, this game is definitely worth a look if you please. But be warned about the controls and camera problems. I wish developer Quantic Dream had spent more time fine-tuning the controls, but what's here is just fine and quite entertaining. I honestly would be more than willing to play Quantic Dream's upcoming Heavy Rain, but the question is, when does it come out, and will it go multi-platform (So far it has only been announced for PS3)?
THE GOOD: A game that is surprisingly smart, inventive, innovative, and quite interesting as a drama game.
THE BAD: Awful controls and squirelly camera.
