Just dropping by to give a quick recommendation/review.
Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut
On it's own, this is a fantastic game, acting as a strange mixture of Twin Peaks, Resident Evil, and Shenmue. The game does have its share of faults and mixed elements: Driving can feel awkward, the combat feels forced in (because it was), the graphics are behind in a technical manner, and the voice acting can be clumsy at times. However, Deadly Premonition succeeds where it matters most: the feeling of the game. The story, undeniably inspired by Twin Peaks, is both divisively strange and wonderfully well told, with twists to keep the player interested and an ending that may just have the player shedding a tear. This is helped by strange and identifiable characters and an art style that compliments the game wonderfully. Finally, while the gameplay is a mixed bag of quality, it helps to create the feeling of being an FBI agent in a small town, with the well done investigative elements and town that feels truly alive. What does not help, though, is that the PC port and the Director's Cut in general feels sloppy at times. The new content adds very little, with the exception of the new cutscenes, and some of the changes with visuals and gameplay almost go against parts of the original. Plus the port itself is fairly unstable, though durante's DPFix is said to fix a lot of the issues. I would certainly say this game is worth playing thanks to the fantastic story, though do be cautious of the PC version.
