WorthPlaying's Cory Owen was only slightly impressed by the Xbox version of Microids' Still Life, as one can tell by this rather reluctant review in which Still Life is awarded an overall 7.5 out of 10...
Still Life isn't all bad, and in fact, there are several areas where it excels. One example of this is the story, which you are drawn into from the get-go, and the mystery never lets up. Despite many of the game's flaws, I could not put down the controller. It's been some time since I stayed up till 7 am to beat a game. The cut scenes were fantastic and really helped to convey the story; audio during these segments was perfect. Beautifully rendered and eerily edited, the cut scenes can scare you more than many Hollywood horror movies. Although the audio is fantastic, it can get quite sparse in some parts, so the game definitely could have used more audio throughout. |
