    Occasionally there are gameplay experiences which you take in, but then require a nod to not just the asking price, but the size of the development team. Sanity of Morris on Xbox is one of those games; a game that at times feels like a triple-A title in scope and ambition.

    Sanity of Morris proposes us an interesting concept focused on paranormal and X-Files-style mystery thriller; unfortunately, though, it also puts our patience to the test due to an unsatisfying implementation. Graphically poor and artistically not very apt, with a slow and cumbersome gameplay, you'll have to arm yourself with a lot of patience to get to the end of an already very short story.

    Like I said, all of these things have obvious fixes, and you can easily imagine them all being tweaked just enough to make Sanity of Morris a tense, compelling game. In this form, though, all it does is frustrate and annoy you. Steer well clear of it, and maybe hope the developers can execute on their ideas a little better next time out.

    Sanity of Morris is sadly just not very good. Outside of some decent initial horror aspects and a passable tale, the woeful stealth, boring exploration, and tedious puzzles make for a title that gets ever more maddening the further we play.

    A faintly interesting premise is irrevocably squandered by muddy visuals, tedious moment-to-moment gameplay and a hateable weak-willed protaganist.

    Sanity of Morris is going to be remembered as one of those kinds of ironic and unintentionally funny video games. While it is not quite Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing, the lack of quality control and effort suggests the developers leaned heavily on their concept. The idea of a grounded stealth/horror experience, with adventure-style puzzle-solving is an easy sell to a lot of people. The only problem is that Sanity of Morris does not even try.

But it's annoying that theThe game is not technically good, but its story will interest most people. I enjoyed playing. I like the story. But it's annoying that the controls are so slow, the character's reaction to the controls is slow. You have to try hard not to fall, especially when walking on thin roads and branches. When you fall, fortunately, you start a few seconds back. Sanity of Morris is not a bad game. With a few updates, they may also fix technical glitches, it could be a better game.… Expand
