Review

 




Central Park is hiding a secret. Built as a safe haven not only for the people of New York, but for something else entirely. The vast parkland has been protected by generations of guardians while the most expensive city in the world reached skyward on its fringes. Now the truth can no longer be contained, and paranormal investigator Edward Carnby finds himself inexplicably cast into the eye of the storm as over the course of one apocalyptic night he must uncover the earth-shattering secret behind Central Park. New York will never be the same again.

Inspired by the gripping style of contemporary TV dramas, the game delivers a new degree of narrative intensity, presented as a complete season format of episodes each containing action, twists and cliff-hangers. Bursting with innovative technology, including unprecedented environmental interaction, revolutionary physics, advanced artificial intelligence, stunning visuals, and a uniquely immersive user interface.

Only played this game a few times- tried to get used to the way the character can move but just ended up getting frustrated. I was really was looking forward to this game but for me the limited movement of the character sucked and ruined it - if I wanted a games console style game I would go and buy a games console!

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Fantastic but for the camera / controls!!

A good story with great action and lots of variety - combine items to make weapons and solve puzzles. Great graphics and fire affects are awesome. A great game which I would have gave 9/10, but the controls and camera can get really annoying so overall will give 7/10. Worth buying but maybe not at £24.99

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars So far so good.

I haven't got that far into the game just yet but I have to say it's a brilliant game. The graphics are stunning and the custom weapons are pure genius especially the mosquito spray/lighter combo.
One qualm so far is the mouse controls. I have the game on just about the lowest sensitivity and still the slightest nudge of the mouse will have you doing a 180.
Definatly off-putting. So much so that I have to pause the game and sit for a bit before continuing on just to stop myself from becoming too frustrated.
But still it's like my title suggests, so far so good.
