    Late Shift is an excellent FMV game and a unique point in interactive cinema. It’s a vastly interesting new way to allow the viewer to change the outcome of the movie they are watching, but has the very odd position of trying to sell itself as neither a movie or a game, but at the same time, both. What I am most interested to see is how Late Shift impacts the future of media. It might just be a flash in the pan, but if we end up one day having an Oscar nominated film that is also a Game of the Year contender, I can safely say that Late Shift will be seen as the original piece of interactive cinema that provided the catalyst for that potential combined media future.

    The story has its weaknesses, but it offers a very thrilling, non-linear experience that shines with great actors and far-reaching decisions.

    Wales Interactive’s latest is neither an interactive movie nor a video game, but as a curious experiment it shows potential.

    A bit short, but I played twice and probably will do it again after some time. Could not hold my self from reading all endings and story branches. In my opinion this film is quite clever, there are interesting ideas. I hope more such projects come on market.
    But keep in mind, I like a lot interactive movie games. For me this experience was nearly good to Quantic Dream games, but of course much shorter.    … Full Review »
