More fun than doing my tax return
By PeterSays (108 reviews) from Romsey , 14 Feb 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
Cynics may say that many Hollywood films are so formulaic they could be written by computer. Well, this is a computer game. Dressing up the same tired, old plot lines in new clothes doesn’t breathe any life into them, like in the comic book style of Renaissance. Likewise, the similarly mystic/conspiracy theory-based Fahrenheit would not work as a film but as a game it does have some merit.
I have little experience of computer games and very little skill. This may well have meant I missed out on lots of fun things. Who knows perhaps I may have kept my gal if my geetar strummin’ was better? The variety of tasks could be more varied; there’s a danger of repetitive strain injury, me thinks, if not a little boredom. The story mode put me in mind of Grand Theft Auto games but without their wit, nor the violent racist elements that got them into such hot water.
Fahrenheit has been given a ‘15’ rating probably because of its gore and its sex scenes, which at least raised a smile. However couldn’t games be better classified by how much they distract the work or studying you really should be doing? On this basis, Fahrenheit is a reasonable waste of time.- Was this review helpful to you?

(15)Amazing game but unsuitable for under 16's
By a customer from Huddersfield , 07 Jan 2008This game is definately an experience. This atmospheric game can be described as Sims crossed with X-files. Like the title says, this is an amazing game but is unsuitable for under 16's due to the swearing, and semi-grafic sex scenes in which you have to make the characters thrust. This is all well and good when you're alone in ur room, then its not so bad, but definately dont play this game infront of your parents..like I did. Anyway, great game, excellent graphics, witty dialogue that never fails to impress, and a true cinematic experience. Well worth renting and buying.- Was this review helpful to you?

What a game
By a customer from Luton , 17 Aug 2007A fantastic game but just a bit short as completed in 7 1/2 hours. A must have game if you like suspense and quick game play. Desperately hope they have done a second games- Was this review helpful to you?

brilliant wonderful modern gaming
By Jacqueline Dudek from preston england , 24 Jul 2007this game is in my top 5 games of all time its blend of alternative ending and brilliant story makes u want too play this game for days unfortunally the game only lasted a day and a half for me and at the end it was pretty emotional(the storyline wasnt emotional it was the fact that i would never would play this game again. but the brilliant feature on this game is the alternatie ending so obvoiusly i had 2 go through the game again making completely different choices and this was brilliant because i did complete this game again wiv different choices and the story interestingly changed a lot.
my rating 100000/10- Was this review helpful to you?

It is a brave attempt at a new ‘interactive’ story-telling format and I hope more are developed. But these are early days and really, Fahrenheit is little different from other story-based games.
