Brief synopsis of Folklore

Despite being a realist, Keats unhappily finds himself a journalist for a third rate occult magazine. One day Keats receives a phone call from a woman asking for his help.

Through the static Keats hears the word Doolin. Sensing something wrong, Keats rushes to the village, but the woman he believes to have called him, is found murdered. He stays on to find out more about this murder. Strange events follow that night, and he travels to the Netherworld.

Having lost her mother as a young child, Ellen is prone to dreaming and tends to look away from reality. Strangely, she spends her holidays actively searching Englands countryside for folk stories. She is not so good with people but seems to have a rapport with children and the elderly. One day Ellen receives a letter from the mother she lost as a child, the message proposing a meeting in Doolin. She finds herself in the village at the same time as Keats. Here they wander between reality and the 7 Netherworlds, in search of the end to their stories.

I have a demo of this and looking forward to getting the full game, Its great fun and looks amazing the down side is the comic book style cutscenes but other than this i love what ive played so far i know its not as fast paced as other games but with the sixaxis controls it makes things alot more fun

Rated - 4 starsCute but boring

A customer from Hounslow , 26/11/2007

Very good cinematics in the beginning, but all the awe/amazement is gone as soon as you get shot back to an 80's sega style character interaction.... text boxes all over the place.

The game play is very repetitive, I found the characters to be the best part of the game, some of them are just like stuffed toys running around staring at you in a very cute way.

I didn't have time to play it thoroughly because its quest oriented play, i'd rent it again when i have the time on my hands.

Its good game to rent, but not to own.

Wonderful game, best graphics i've seen yet on PS3 , whoever designed it has an amazing imagination . I'd highly recommend to Females and gamers who are a little older (with brains) and fancy a nice break from frantic FPS's from time to time.
