    Despite its strong charm, Deadly Premonition lacks in so many areas that it's hard to recommend it even to the more forgiving gamer.

    A larger budget might have saved the driving physics and improved the experience of the town, but no amount of money could repair the terrible writing and wrong-headed design that really sink Deadly Premonition.

    Deadly Premonition lacks a lot of things to be a good game. It needs a well defined gameplay, good control and a better pace. Its technical flaws are even more obvious. But it hides something interesting in its story, its narrative and some loose ideas spread through its design.

    Deadly Premonition is brave, maybe even heroic, but in the end is also a bad game... a horrible game to be honest. The bizarre story and its sandbox possibilities can't put out of sight its awkward gameplay concepts and embarrassing controls.

    Awful in nearly every way. The Twin Peaks meets Resident Evil with a dash of Grand Theft Auto formula sounds pretty great, but it was well beyond the capabilities of this development team. Terrible controls. Terrible pacing. Terrible sound effects. Terrible visuals.

Even leaving aside the value proposition (it's only $20), Deadly Premonition offers an interesting setting and bizzare characters. The catch is that to enjoy what this game has to offer, you have to suspend your disbelief, and possibly your good taste. This is a goofy survival horror romp through a japanese version of Twin Peaks, and while the payoff is immense, getting there can sometimes be a bit of a slog.… Full Review »
