The Perspective of Two Souls
Beyond: Two Souls is an action-adventure, drama interactive game. The story revolves around the main character Jodie Holmes. As a child she was given/born with this 'special power' which you use throughout the game. She has an extra soul by the name of Aiden who you control. The story-line progresses point by point and is pretty easy to follow. The story-mode is not put into chronological order but it's self-explanatory so it's not confusing. You follow Jodie on her adventure which consists of her going through her childhood, CIA training, homelessness and much more. The story tends to get depressing at some parts but that's necessary for such an amazing story-line. The details in the game are amazing and I've never seen better graphics in any other game that I've played. This is my new all-time favourite game and it was just released recently. The game is only available on the PS3 console which makes me feel really grateful. The game tends to create relationships with many different characters and makes you feel somewhat sad when you have to part ways. You make certain decisions through the story that could result in you getting a trophy or not. Some of the parts are really fast-paced and involve quite a bit of concentration but overall this game is a pretty easy play. The commands are really straight forward as well and the game is easy to get used to. Personally, I think this game is amazing in all aspects. It has a great story-line, great length, difficulty, graphics and much more. I highly recommend this game to anyone especially people that may have enjoyed the game Remember Me.

You're right - the graphics look amazingly realistic! So just clarificiation here, if you control the player's "soul" then where is the person (Jodie) when you're being Aiden? I like the concept of going through Jodie's life story, but don't you think it would make more sense to go chronologically so as not to confuse the people playing, or is it okay to do it through flashback-type things?
ReplyDeleteWhen you're controlling Aiden Jodie will just stay where you left her. Then as soon as you go back to her you just resume playing as normally. I thought it was actually really creative to go through the story by using flashbacks because it did create an element of mystery. She gets chased by the CIA but you don't figure out why until a while later so I found that the suspense really makes you want to play the game for longer and it really helps the story-mode.
DeleteThis game sounds amazing, I would love to try it. I have never heard of a game like this. I like that it's not in chronological order. I feel like that would make for a cool, dream-like story mode.
ReplyDeleteI really like the actor Ellen Page. Do you think the game would be quite different if Jodie wasn't played by her?
It is, it's a really wonderful game :P Yea, that's what I thought the whole story line felt like. It just felt like a dream. I honestly could not see anyone else playing Jodie. Ellen captures Jodie perfectly and I wouldn't even want to see anyone else play her!
