    Alfred Hitchcock Vertigo might be rough at first, but if you carry on during its most tedious parts, the plot will hook you. It's a reimagining of the 1958 classic, set in modern times with brand new characters and story. It's ties with Hitchcock's work feel far-fetched sometimes, but it finds its own voice and has a story worth telling.

    Inspired by classic cinema, Alfred Hitchcock Vertigo is a good adaptation of the 1958 film. Its original design, sound work, and love of classic cinema shine through in a game lacking in gameplay. Its story and surprising plot twists are very worthwhile.

    Rather than playing this game, you’d be much better off watching Vertigo, and Notorious, and Psycho, and Rear Window, and whatever other movies you could squeeze into the 10 or so hours it would take you to play Alfred Hitchcock – Vertigo, and I guarantee you that it would be time better spent.

    Thus, we could hardly make an assessment of "Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo". True, the story felt good in the gameplay and the great soundtrackThus, we could hardly make an assessment of "Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo". True, the story felt good in the gameplay and the great soundtrack was also a lot of fun. But the narration and also the gameplay was quite convincing. Also, small bugs keep appearing in the gameplay and so we end up with a rather average rating. If you like to experience a story from the pleasant side, you should gladly take a closer look at "Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo" on the console. Because the substance is also lacking against the other good titles "Heavy Rain" and "Life is Strange" and are simply more interesting. Expand

    A game in which the gameplay elements are very marginal. Still, the story is deep enough to keep it interesting. The characters also arouseA game in which the gameplay elements are very marginal. Still, the story is deep enough to keep it interesting. The characters also arouse emotions in the gamer through their behavior. Unfortunately, the soundtrack falls short due to repetition. All in all a nice handheld game but not as a console game.

    Pros:
    - Story
    - Characters

    Cons:
    - Performance drops
    - Sound track
    - Gameplay loop
