Got me really hooked from the openning sequence right till the end, so i finnished the whole game in one sitting. I will most definitely buy more games from Night School Studio if I ever see them in the future. I got it for free during Xbox's "Games With Gold" in September, but I would definitely tell someone to pay the $20 for the game if they asked. I actually had goosebumps during some of the scenes near the end! Between the voice acting, the solid plot, and the ability to make my own decisions really made me grow somewhat attached to its characters. It is brilliant in this game! The young men and women that played the voice of the game's characters made the entire story so convincing, believable, and smooth. I saved the best for last: the voice acting. The decisions you make will determine what type of ending the story gets. If also offers several chances to make your decision between two (and sometimes more) "major" choices, which will determine the way your story will unfold, and while the general plot is the same in the big picture, the devil is in the details.

It wasn't the worst I've seen in a story, but it sure did leave me wanting more and feeling somewhat incomplete inside (sounds cheesy, right?). interesting, and perhaps confusing to some. Without spoiling anything, the ending is definitely. This does *not* mean the beginning is bad, by all means - but the more you play, the better it gets! The last thing that I would consider somewhat negative is the ending. The second thing is that the beginning may seem slow for some (it did for me). I found that if you actually wait for your followers to finish their animations, then you shouldn't have any problems. I have experienced this as well, but only once. ![]() I'll begin with the bad: Some of the other reviews have mentioned experiencing several glitches throughout the game where their followers would get "stuck" in places, forcing a restart.
