I've been hearing alot about this game ever since i read the IGN review which has a score of 2.0 out of 10 on the xbox console version. but then i read gamespots review and they gave it 7.0 out of 10. the moment i saw this split i was uncertain. i saw a small clip of it and it looks awful. the graphics were bad, really bad. so i decided that i shouldn't pick up this bargain priced $20 version.

but i regret not buying it at the time now. I couldn't get this game out of my mind. i looked it up on wiki and theres alotta positive reception aimed directly at the Plot and the Characters. Then i decided to try and find it, but it was gone, no store held onto to this game anymore. this $20 bagain was sold out and nowhere to be found.

But i was in luck. a "Director's Cut" was announce for the playstation 3 version. i pre ordered it and then picked it up when it came in. Wow, these graphics are bad for a game three years old. it looks as if it was made for the ps2 (and i learned later it was originally made for the ps2) think of it in the form of the video game "Winback". this game felt like a mixture of games i've played and loved such as "Silent Hill" "Heavy Rain" "No one lives forever". These games rolled into one really bizzare game.

for a game that looks this awful, it was amazing how much i was drawn into playing more of it. the Characters are developed, you grow to care about them, theres alot of these charaters so it makes it harder to spot the murderer, and the story is bizzare but rich and different. This game is proof that the story matters more than the graphics. When i played the game "RAGE" I was floored at how the graphics were SUPER awsome, excellent details and draw distance, but the more i played, there wasn't much drawing me into that world. it felt boring to me becasue i felt there wasn't really a story to follow. infact it felt like a mission game than anything. they give you a mission that doesn't really deep'n the experince. i stopped playing it. The mission thing was annouying to me and the characters were forgettable.

Deadly premontion is a cult classic, and i know why now. It's awful to look at, the controls are awkward (Fixed in the ps3 version, except for the driving) and it is full of personality, humor, horror, and plot. the best way to look at it is in the light of a B-Horror flick.

if you have only an xbox, then you might want to try and hunt this game down. playstation three owners might want to pick up the newly released "director's cut" edition the price tag is a bit much, but you'll be getting more story. This game is proof that graphics arn't everything in a game.

oh and i'll just say, Yes i really liked this game :3

ps: A sequal is on the way.
