Advantages: Everything but the graphics

Disadvantages: Graphics

Fahrenheit is set in the city of New York. The main character (Lucas Kane) walks into a cafe, uses the bathroom and kills a man who enters. He has no idea why he killed him and he is not alone. People are killing without knowing why they are doing so and Lucas is determined to find out what happened to him. Your first problem is how to escape the cafe without being caught by the police.

Every decision you make throughout the game affects the storyline and it is incredibly enjoyable to play a game which is so reactive to your decisions. The storyline branches in all kinds of directions. Not only that but Lucas Kane is not the only character you will control. You play as Lucas Kane, Carla Valenti and Tyler Miles. Unlike most games you will form an attachment to the characters, it's virtually impossible not to.

The style of the game is cinematic. The game contains a lot of motion captured animation and some split screen cameras. The interface accompanies this style very well and remains realistic.

The only flaw within the game is that the graphics aren't up to par with the sound, gameplay and the substantial replay value.

With regard to the replay value, I played this game a second time and found that I'd missed quite a substantial portion of the possible sequences. It's certainly worth a second, third and even a fourth look.

Overall, it's a must buy. A sequel or a game of the same style is definitely something I'm yearning for.

I'm also a member of Ciao so this review is posted there.

Summary: A definite must buy
