Please Read On (That was just to warm you up and to give you a idea what you get in Fahrenheit)
STORY
The intro starts of with the camera flying thought the air, which you see New York in the distance at night with all its lights on, why'll thick heavy snow is dropping down the view then fixes on a crow that's fly's pass and ends up going to a open window of a bathroom in a café called Doc's Dinner. It's -10c outside as one of the customers is having a whiss, a man then steps out and stabs the victim 3 times.
This is no normal murder because as it happens there's few quick flashes showing a man with hundred of candles around him and is using some kind of voodoo magic to control this man to commit murder.
Coming out of the trance, you take control of this person called Lucas Kane as its does split screen to show that there's a police officer in the next room its now down to you to decade what to do.
As this thriller of a game lets you choose the course of action, do you panic and run out off the café with blood on you or do you just wash you hands pay your food bill and leave normally, knowing that things may look fine but ones the office walks in the bathroom he will find the body. Then there's the other thing you could do by covering/hiding all evidence, like hind the body in the toilet, mop up the blood, hind knife, wash hands, eating some more food before paying and leaving.
This game not only gives you lots of options to do as the killer Lucas Kane as you try and find out what's happening to you but you also get to play as the two detectives Carla Valenti and Taylor Miles who is trying to solve the case and arrest you.
GRAPHICS
The graphics are just over basic average with some nice detail on the many characters in the game, showing off real life expressions. The graphics are fairly good, not stunning as the developer was not aiming at this. It has a gritty, grainy look to it, like it has in manhunt (who has played it)
SOUND/MUSIC
The Voices are excellent thought the game for each and every character which there are many, the sound is of the most amazing quality and then the music that adds the atmosphere of the action scenes and also the excellent and fun boxing section that has "Try It Again" track by Bobby Byrd and "Hang It Up" by Patrice Rushen, Ben E. King and 4 other cool tracks all by Theory Of A Dead Man.
CONTROLS
The controls are quite simple and also different from most other games. Will be confusing for many unless you play the tutorial first which only last about 15mins. When you have to use your strength, like to pull, drag, things using the L1 and R2 buttons back and fore as quick as possibly which it shows on screen how well you are doing (CHECK IMAGE 4). As well as walking which can be fuming as the character walks in wrong direction, the right analogue it's also using for every action in the game.
Each action that you can do at the time of the place you are stand on, there's an icon at the top of the screen with the direction of where to pull the right analogue in.
GAMEPLAY
Fahrenheit is played like an interactive film, as you now know you control the two detectives Carla and Taylor, plus Lucas Kane and also his brother. Controlling anything from there moving, what they do and what they say to others is down to you. Each action has an ending to it, for e.g you in a park, and Lucas gets a vision of a small boy falling into the icy cold water, knowing that there is the officer of the law walking this way that he surly notice you from the café. Do you a) run and jump into the water and try and save the boy and having the police man spot you, or do you b) walk off normal speed and do nothing and knowing that you have probably let the boy die.You have chooses thought the game like this, though not all so life threading to you or someone but it's this thrilling play that makes Fahrenheit. As the game progress you gain not only more visions and flashbacks but you also have supernatural that lets you run faster and jump higher along with others which is used in a great fight scene where he know were to block and dodge, think the matrix and also has many powers near the end of the game.
The games not all about nightmares, investigates and adventure but there's also some other fun to be had like the boxing match between the detectives as they spar which is great and has some excellent animation along with the cool music, there's also a basketball match, , ice skating and dancing. (The last two are unlockables).
As well as visiting a freaky insane asylum when it has a power cut, a few bloody murders, there are also some nude and sex scenes in the game that's not suitable for all, it should maybe a age 18 but has the rating of 15+, so just be careful who you buy it for and who also plays it.
Thought this game has a great storyline and also very original gameplay, there is one stealth element I did not like and was very poor. This is when you play as Lucas as a child through his flashbacks, where you are sneaking around at dark in a restricted area of a base, where you parents were working as scientists there.
REPLAY-VALUE
Though there are many chooses in the game, it all leads to the same ending, even though you probably would want to play it a second time. There are many things to unlock, like all the sound/music tracks, over 40 artworks, 8 movies, plus 7 Sequences that you can play or watch anytime you like. All of theses are unlocked by buy them with the points you get from finding the hidden Bonus Cards in the game. No need to find them all though as one you completed the game you earn a load of points which is enough to unlock everything.The game is quite short as it can be completed in under a week if playing a few hours if that a day but it is worth it.
This game has won quite a few gaming awards for "Best Voice Acting", "Best Adventure Game of the year", "Best Story of the year" and "Best Original Game Mechanic" from Gamespot and IGN websites.

Advantages: Unique, intriguing plot Disadvantages: 2nd half of the game seems to drift
Fahrenheit could be described as the most succesful interactive movie game on a console thus far. I purchased this sometime in 2007 and my first thoughts on it was that isn't wasn't anything special. However it was unique in the sense that I hadn't played anything like it previously but at some points I found the story hard to follow. Even though it was a little confusing at first it intrigued me and is now in my collection of classic games.
==The ... ...==Conclusion==
Fahrenheit is a great game that should be experienced by every game fan who enjoys something new and an enjoyable plot. Heavy Rain, a game made by Quantic Dream, will be out in 2010 and I know I will be getting myself a copy. Overall an 8/10 for this enjoyable and fascinating game. ...

Advantages: Interesting plot idea, great game play, graphics, sound track, believable characters. Disadvantages: Plot trails off near end, the painful problem of having to tap L1 R1 quickly.
...I've always been interested in Fahrenheit after seeing an advert for it in a magazine ages ago. I spent awhile looking for it in second hand shops so I could try it out with out having to pay too much in case it was awful and I finally found it.
It certainly wasn't awful but unfortunately it wasn't as long as I hoped it would be.
Fahrenheit is similar to a typical action movie, there are fighting scenes, car chases, murders and 'romance' scenes ... ...met one another around half an hour ago.

Advantages: Story, Voice Acting, Controls Disadvantages: Camera
Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) is a paranormal thriller game created by Quantic Dream who are known for their other title "Omikron" and their upcoming game "Heavy Rain".
Story/Plot;
The story starts off in the restroom of a cafe. Where the main character Lucas Kane is in a possed trance and brutally stabs a man to death. When he regains conciousness he leaves the scene in confusion. This is where two more main characters are introduced, detective ... ...both roles.
Controls;
Fahrenheit is quite similar to a point and click adventure game that you would fine on a PC. However the controls for this game have become setted up to be more console friendly. The movement of the character is used with the left analogue stick whilst actions will be performed with the left analogue stick. The developers try to use as less of the face buttons as possible. The end results is a quite comfortable control set-up. ...

Name of the game: Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy)
Platform: PC, also available on PS2, Xbox
Genre: Adventure
My points: 8
Comments: Let's start by clarifying the name issue. The U.S. version is called Indigo Prophecy while the European version is called Fahrenheit. I will be calling the game Fahrenheit from now on.
I would imagine that this is a game you either love or hate. The developers have taken really ambitious approach to the game and I'm ... ...you decide the action. In Fahrenheit that is kept fairly simple and you usually have only one or two things you can do with a certain object. Conversations too are done slightly differently. You only have certain amount of time to pick what you are going to say next. Most of the time you are going to get to your objective eventually with saying just about any of the choices but especially with our newborn killer the choice may decide between getting ...

Advantages: Original Storyline Disadvantages: Too short
Although this games has not had a lot of popularity I believe it to be one of the best games I have played, and it is much different from other games by miles.
The whole game is like an interactive movie where you can choose what you do and say, which in turn effects how the story runs. Everything that you do has a consequence, even having a drink or water.
If you make the wrong option then your character can become depressed and if you fail to ... ...and scary, with twists and turns which will have you gripped for hours playing it.
The story starts with a you (Lucas) going to the toilet, whilst you are minding your own business you become possessed and violently attack and murder a man in the bathroom. You have to clean up and escape before a policeman in the bar comes to investigate.
You have to make sure that Lucas escaped the police whilst playing the police characters to solve what actually ...
