Poll: Indigo Prophecy: Yes or No?

[Instant K4rma]

So I'm a proud 360 owner, but I am VERY intrigued by Heavy Rain. I played the PS3 demo at a friends house and loved it. Now I hear that Indigo Prophecy is a lot like Heavy Rain, and is available for the console I have. I don't really care about the graphics much at all, just the gameplay. So is Indigo Prophecy a good game for someone looking for a "Heavy Rain" style game?

EDIT: Sorry about the poll not showing up. The Escapist is giving me some issues. The other thread with the poll showed up, sorry for the double post.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

YES but i'd recommend it for the PC.

 

[The Rascal King]

It's nowhere near as interactive as Heavy Rain, but it might be worth it if you want to try something different.

Just don't expect to be blown away

 

[Quad08]

Yes! Buy it! It gets a bit crazy but still a fun game regardless

 

[ThePreshFrince]

Yes, but it goes batshit insane after a while. If you can deal with that (I loved it) and mystic shit then get it. Heavy Rain doesn't have that, and it's got more flow but they're both worth getting.

 

[Julianking93]

Yes!!!!!

I got it for PS2 before Heavy Rain and I loved it.

I loved both.

Get it.

 

[SideSlyGuy]

I'd recommend it just because its so unique, I've never played any other game like it, and lacking a ps3 I might not be playing Heavy Rain for a wile.

 

[Bat Vader]

I will have to go with yes.

I think it is one of the better games out there on the market. I would recommend renting it first though so you can decide if you actually like it.

Spoiler

The only thing I did not like about though is how the whole Mayan prophecy thing was played into it. I thought their was going to be more of an arcane element in the story. Plus, the whole AI thing at the almost end of the story was also a bit confusing.

I wouldn't consider it a 'game' per se (it doesn't even refer to itself that way, with the option being 'new movie' instead of 'new game'), but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The plot loses all sorts of sense in the third act, but all in all a worthwile experience.

 

[thepopeofatheism]

It's got murder and imaginary bugs and ghost sex!

What's not to love?

 

[Doctor What]

Yes, let me put it this way: Persona 4, and Indigo Prophecy are the only reasons I still have my PS2

 

[Gigaguy64]

I would say yes.
I watched a buddy of mine play it and it was really good.
The story was interesting and the Quick Time Game play was actually fun looking.

 

[busterkeatonrules]

Absolutely.

Indigo Prophesy is the ONLY game available that's anything like Heavy Rain. One may of course argue that it's not quite as polished as Heavy Rain but, as a great man once said(*), it deserves kudos for starting off the story right away rather than making you learn how to drink juice first! And storywise, it certainly doesn't take a backseat either - especially if you can accept the somewhat far-fetched second half.

(*Yahtzee, last Wednesday.)

 

[ThePantomimeThief]

Yeah, I really enjoyed Indigo Prophecy (or as us Brits know it, Fahrenheit). It does get really mad and I didn't feel the story lived up to the awesome punch of the beginning, but it is pretty damn unique and definitely worth a punt - you can probably pick it up pretty cheap now too.

 

[Schitz]

I haven't played Heavy Rain, so I can't compare the two. But if you liked HR, I don't think you can do anything wrong with Indigo Prophecy.

As for the story, it's probably more mystical or paranormal than the one from HR, but I really enjoyed it. Although I think they've overdone themselves in the last third a bit. Maybe the writers, after finishing the first two thirds, started experimenting with drugs or something like that. I don' know... ;-)

 

[DustyDrB]

The second half of this game was horrible as far as the story goes. You attempt to have a game with believable characters and drama, hinting at the paranormal and then go full out crazy-fest shitstorm in the second half.

In other words, this game was half good.

 

[CheckD3]

The thing is, Heavy Rain isn't like Indigo Prophecy, it's pretty much a new one. Exactly the same with new gen properties. Fun, and I haven't beaten it but heard it gets crazy at the end. So it depends, I heard from the place I bought IP from that people love it or hate it...

 

[richasr]

It's quite dated compared to Heavy Rain, but I got it as it was something different at the time, was quite fun and you had the different consequences depending on what you did. Worth a go but do remember it is getting on a bit now.

 

[TheSquirrelisKing]

Indigo Prophecy > Heavy Rain
IMHO

 

[Papadam]

The first half of Indigo prophecy (as you call it) is among the best I have seen in gaming!

I wish I stopped playing half way because the end is the worst ever
