How far would you go to save someone you love? this innovative and ground breaking game from the makers of Farenheit/Indigo Prophecy requires excellent hand-eye coordination and decision making skills, all while trying to save a child from becoming the next victim of the Origami Killer.
The story
There are times that button combinations can seem impossible, such as pushing and holding L1, R2, X and O. I've has this combination at a point and failed at it, obviously. xD There are difficulty settings that can make all of these sequences easier, but for the sake of the experience, I recommend the highest setting, that is, if you're used to the Sixaxis controller.
The graphics in this game are mindblowing. The detail of the characters makes it feel like you're actually watching a live action movie. However, there are glitches in the game that might take you aback for a second, including people walking through walls and other people, and some disappearing all together.
There are also screen tears every now and then, but these didn't really bother me.

The story
centers around four key characters: Ethan Mars,a loving father who is haunted by the tragic death of his eldest child, and still blames himself for it; Madison Paige, an insomniac journalist who can only find decent sleep at motels due to her disturbing and frightening dreams; Norman Jayden, an FBI agent assigned to investigate the Origami Killer case, and who has a moderately crippling drug addiction; and Scott Shelby, a retired cop-turned-private investigator hired by the victim's families to find and bring down the killer. These characters start out having nothing to do with one another, but as the story builds, they become intertwined into each other. Ethan's only other son, Shaun, was kidnapped by the Killer while Ethan was suffering from a blackout, which happens occasionally as he suffered a traumatic injury while trying to save his son two years prior. He comes to find a box given to him by the killer filled with Origami pieces. Each piece contains an address to which he is supposed to go and complete unthinkable tasks,
Madison becomes Ethan's "nurse" by dressing all his wounds he suffers through these trials, and eventually they fall for each other in an interesting and innovative take on a love scene. Scott ends up partnered up with Lauren Winter, a victim's mother who swore she would find the man who killed her son. Norman's crippling drug addiction gets worse as the game goes on, and you're actually prompted at times to either take the drug or not to take it, as it can eventually kill you.
The story, without giving away too many spoilers, is engaging and exciting, and will have you constantly questioning yourself who the Origami Killer is and just how far would yougo to save someone you love.
which include driving a car against traffic for 5 miles, crawling through broken glass and power condensers, cutting off part of a finger, killing a drug dealer, and finally, sacrificing yourself by drinking poison.

in my game, Ethan was arrested by Norman, and while being handcuffed, Norman completely disappeared.
