Reviews for Indigo Prophecy

An Interesting And Unique Adventure Game

Strengths: Story, Audio

Weakness: Graphics, Camera (At Times)

Indigo Prophecy is an interesting game as it has a deep story similar to an adventure (or point & click adventure) game yet you move around in a 3D environment and will actually take part in controls that are much like a rhythm game or mini-game during action sequences. The first thing that should be noted about Indigo Prophecy is that it has an interesting and original story that is unlike just about any game on any of the home console systems along with really well done voice overs. The Graphics ain't the best looking compared to other Playstation 2 games but the animation is good has it's done in full motion. At times the camera gives you a bad view but this is a problem that seems to plague many games and isn't bad enough in Indigo Prophecy to ruin the fun.

I would highly recommend Indigo Prophecy to fans of adventure games or any one interested in a game that is something different with a good story has Indigo Prophecy is one of the freshest gaming experiences on any system.

Prophecy

Strengths: Great soundtrack, good voice actors, unique game.

Weakness: Not much replay value

Did you use to like those text-based games in the old days? Then you'll want to try this game out. Imagine a text-based game brought up to modern standards, and that's what this is. The overall story is intriguing and the adventure aspect is great as well.

Indigo Prophecy or should I say Fahrenheit?

Strengths: Highly interactive environments, interesting take on the genre

Weakness: Controls are a bit awkward at first, story starts out great but the last third seems very rushed and forced

The gameplay is very unique as you play as both the "killer" and the two police officers who are trying to catch him. Having knowledge from both sides, it creates a very interesting dynamic for the player. Do you help the "killer" or the police?

The controls are a bit different when you first begin: most if not all actions are done with the analog sticks. The story is very intriguing and was difficult to stop playing. However, in the final third of the game, the plot gets really confusing. It relies moreso on exposition then the dynamic gameplay and clever unfolding of the plot. The plot tries to finish things up faster then it can explain itself and leaves the player confused as to what actually happened and how these last events transpired.

Indigo Prophecy

Strengths: Mystery and plot twists

Weakness: Replay value

Indigo Prophecy is a fine piece of story telling game. It's filled with mysteries and plot twists that does a pretty good job of keeping you on the edge of your seat. The game surrounds a murder investigation and lets you unravel mysteries and the story unfolds.

If you are looking for action, this game is probably not for you. This game puts storytelling in front of action. It's well designed and fun, give it a spin and immerse yourself in the story.

Indigo Prophecy

Strengths: Mystery based game

Weakness: A little discontinuity here and there in the story

Indigo Prophecy is a great murder-mystery solving game with a clever plot and twists and surprises in the story. At times, it is more like an interactive movie than a video game. Nevertheless, its clever plot and twists and turns will keep you glued to the console and display for hours. You should at least rent this game for the story.

Indigo Prophecy

Strengths: Well-designed murder-mystery story with numerous twists

Weakness: Less focus on gameplay

Indigo Prophecy is an example of a game that puts storytelling ahead of action. The plot is a clever take on a typical crime drama, with the player controlling characters on both sides of a murder investigation. The game plays well enough, but often takes a backseat to the unraveling story. This game is really intended for those that tend to enjoy games with many cutscenes and complex characters. If you are the type that likes to skip straight to the action, this game is probably not for you, but if you're looking for more of an interactive adventure game, give this a try.

A great innovative title

Strengths: Immersive, unique, well acted

Weakness: Story falls apart in the third act, some gameplay elements don't carry over to the end

Indigo Prophecy is a great game. It is a unique title overlooked by many, but if you were ever a fan of the adventure game genre, you owe it to yourself to pick this up.

The story is great, however I will warn you it wildy falls apart by then end. There are some very unique gameplay elements such as having to decide which mundane tasks to do, but where that leaves you makes a difference in the story.

The only disappointing thing are the Simon-style quicktime events that just seem like cheap gameplay tricks.

But overall you should check this out, as it is fun and something different.

Indigo Prophecy

I’m sitting at a local diner in NYC, trying to take a breather from the monotonous day with a bite to eat. The air outside is so cold that it’s hard to breath, and this record-breaking winter just seems to be getting worse and worse. It’s not like my personal life is faring much better than the weather either, as each passing day seams to grow more and more hopeless. Things just haven’t...
