Video Game Reviews of Indigo Prophecy
Customer Review: Worth playing again... Immediately!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far one of the most engrossing, impressive games I've played and was well worth buying a game controller for. (Now that I've got one, I'll never go back to gaming with my mouse and keyboard again!)
Unlike many point-and-click adventures, there is very little boring lag time on this one: the developers chose, instead, to keep players engaged by making the "story development" episodes interactive.
Meanwhile, the player is presented with many action and conversation choices throughout the game, and each choice can lead the storyline in a wholly new direction.
In other words, playing the game once does not mean you've seen or done it all. Thank goodness for that, too, because I finished the game on Saturday (or so I'd thought) but didn't have another waiting to be played. Rather than cleaning house, I decided to play Indigo Prophecy over again... only to find that just TWO different choices in the opening chapter changed my entire game play experience.
Why can't more games be so well-planned, interactive, and wonderfully designed?

Summary: 3 Stars
First of all, I should state that I am a huge fan of adventure games. I must have played half of the Sierra catalog of adventure games back in the late 80s and early 90s. Those games were a lot of fun (if not sometimes frustrating). With this in mind, I approached Indigo Prophecy with a lot of excitement.
Unfortunately what I found was that, as intricate and well-scripted as the plot might be, the game is, in a word, simply not that fun. And as we all know, being boring is the cardinal sin of video games.
Much of this, I think, is the fact that the game has no open-endedness to it at all. The whole thing is played out in 'scenes' where your character has a couple of usually uninteresting (and unchallenging) things to do before moving on to the next scene.
Another problem I found with the game was the much-hyped aspect that 'your actions influence the outcome of the game'! Really I think this is sort of false. My experience was that it doesn't seem to matter what you do, the story still follows the same basic linear path. And if you do try to go off on a real tangent, the game will just end and force you to start the scene over. So much for the 'choose your own adventure' aspect of the game.
All this kind of adds up to an unfulfilling, linear, boring experience. About halfway through I just sort of stopped caring what happens.
Customer Review: Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is freaking amazing. The gameplay is unlike any other game I had ever played - you can view the scenes from every possible angle but it is still easy to move around. It's cool to switch characters and the types of things you do vary throughout the game, I never got bored. The scenery is diverse and done really well and it is a very long game, in a good way! Overall, an A+.Customer Review: Christmas Present

My law student son needed a PC game to help him unwind. This is a multi-layered game, with intense role playing, great graphics, and sound quality. He rated it a 10.
