    The story and acting are superb and with so many endings it’s almost impossible to predict how each decision will play out and affect the overall conclusion. A must play for fans of live-action games.

    The Complex is, quite simply, fantastic. Some dodgy CGI and a few plot holes aside, the story being told here is gripping, the characters well acted and brought to life and there’s a ton of variety on offer through the many choices we make along the way. A brilliant example of an interactive movie, and one that you’d be well off to play.

    The story is interesting, characters have growth and mystery, acting is done wonderfully and the multiple endings means you’ll always have some sort of surprise by the time the credits roll again. My first ending was dramatically different from my second, so I’m glad it wasn’t just minor differences for the outcomes as a way to sell the multiple ending angle. The real question is, will you choose to smash or blow up the toilet?

    The Complex is good, low budget ride with a lot of heart. Anyone who’s enjoyed the other FMV offerings from Wales Interactive should dive right in.

    The Complex is an intriguing interactive movie, with good production values and a compelling story. It might have been longer, but it's definitely worth a watch/play.

    The Complex - A scientific based true cinematic multiple choice interactive movie. Gameplay is ultra simple. You play the conscience of AmyThe Complex - A scientific based true cinematic multiple choice interactive movie. Gameplay is ultra simple. You play the conscience of Amy Tennant deciding her choices both personal and professional as you navigate your way through a threat at the ultra high tech lab. Each choice you make ultimately impacts the story thus providing a good amount of replay value. As this plays out in real time you have to be quick to make your choices. This game uses real people and as such visually you can't get any more realistic, where this can be let down is by bad acting, however I'm thrilled to say "The Complex" provides great acting, they really bring you in and make you judge them and become emotionally involved. My only negative I have to say is sometimes, you may end up getting the same scene even if you choose a different choice and that can be disappointing and sometimes you can make a choice and reveal something important but never seems to get mentioned and can slightly break immersion, however still a great game. Overall. A must have for any gamer who enjoys watching a good movie.… Full Review »
