I thought since Sunday is Halloween i would go buy a horror game so i got Deadly Premonition for 20 bucks.I heard mixed things about this game but now that i have played it i can say that it's one of the best games ive ever played.I was just wondering if anyone else has played this game and what they think about it.

I've read a lot of mixed things about this one as well. I've really considered getting it but I'm not really into survival horror games and I think that I might just pass. It seems like a game that didn't get enough of a chance from reviewers and the general public as it looks better then I've read about it.

From what I've seen it looks neat. It seems like critics are being a little picky with this game.

I bought this game for $10 yesterday and I am looking forward to checking it out. Critics, especially IGN, have bashed this game for having primitive graphics and lackluster controls, but I've heard from those who've played it that it's has an intense story and great atmosphere. It's a budget title, so expecting it to hold up to games like Alan Wake (in terms of graphics and sound anyway) is perhaps a little unfair. I'm going to give it a shot and draw my own conclusions. I also heard it mentioned on the All Gen Gamer's podcast and the guest (I think it was the guy from the Awesome Video Games/Video Games Awesome show) was give it high praise.

My current thoughts on Deadly Premonition, given that I'm 20 odd hours into it...

This game both frustrates, and delights me in equal measure. I'll go through a couple of hours of absolute glee, and then have to seemingly pay my dues and put up with a fair amount of garbage.

This game highlights what's wrong with review sites. I typically like IGN, but giving both GOD HAND and Deadly Premontion a 3 and 2 respectively is atrocious. Having mediocre graphics is not a huge issue, as long as you can see what's happening in a clear manner, it's not that big a priority.

The driving segments are tedious, and the controls are really barebones for these portions. However these segments feature some of the best monologue in a videogame.

I really like Deadly Premonition, despite some of it's more glaring flaws. It doesn't feel like a videogame, more like an experience. It's very story intense, and the gameplay / combat portions seem to serve no other purpose than to give you a slight break in the story. Usually I'd absolutely hate this, but it's damn interesting, funny and so similar to Twin Peaks.

And, as we all know.

TWIN PEAKS IS AWESOME.

In OXM UK they had a few facts about this and even though it may not be executed perfectly it seems like it has some really great ideas.
ie. Apparently when it's raining in the game it is on the pause menu, if you're hungry then a plate of cookies is depleted. Small things but I think they're quite nice touches.
