Deadly Premonition Review

Posted by admin On March - 4 - 2010

Let’s cut to the chase: you, the average 1UP reader, probably wouldn’t like Deadly Premonition. The controls are clunky, the combat is tedious, it’s full of those dreaded “fetch quests” we all like to complain about, the occasionally nonsensical cut-scenes often last too long, and a lot of the graphics would look right at home on the Dreamcast. The game is flawed in many ways, and if you’re already turned off, I would advise you to move on and never look back. Don’t worry, I won’t be offended. We’ll hang out some other time.

Now, then. For the rest of you — those champions of innovation and good taste who won’t let a few blemishes stop you from having a good time — I want to tell you about the most fun I’ve had playing a videogame in a good long while. Deadly Premonition is the kind of experience that reminds you of why you fell in love with this medium in the first place. Once you look past its flaws, you’ll find a game that is completely engrossing for far longer than it ought to be, is refreshingly self-aware that it is, in fact, a videogame and not a movie, and in many ways, is one of the best examples of game writing I’ve ever seen. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
