Ive been really excited for this game. I've heard mixed reviews which made me apprehensive , but Heavy Rain was one of my favorite gaming experiences ever. So if it's like that or better, I'll definitely enjoy it.
The one thing I read is that it's less open ended than Heavy Rain where the main characters can actually die off.
Coop did you ever end up playing the walking dead from telltale ? Pretty sure that's another one your wife will enjoy also.
Here's why you can't die: the game isn't linear. It jumps around. There's a timeline before each 'level'. When you start the game, it has one event on it. The events get added as you play them, but they're all out of order. So you'll play as an adult, then as a child. Then events which were alluded to get dropped in. So, the gameplay is all over the place, filling in gaps and putting events between others. It seems confusing, but it's not that hard to keep track of. It works really well. I also like that it has levels because you have the option to replay individual levels. There's variance in the way that those can play out, so there are some that I think I'll end up redoing when the game's over.
I never played The Walking Dead, but I remember you talking about it.
