Isn't this that game where the "Jason!? Jason!? Jason!?" sound-clip comes from?

There may or may not be a Jason

A rare Never/Never from me.

I actually bought the game, expecting to play it some time. But I've become increasingly jaded with these types of games and David Cage in general... I feel fairly certain that it's not a game that'll realistically ever enter the rotation at this point

This was the first game of its genre that I played. I enjoyed it at first, interesting how one can manipulate the story. That said, I was disappointed in that there were no items or anything similar. It was really very basic and linear. I suppose that was the plan though. 6/10.

A fun and gimmicky choose your own adventure with a few “oh $hit” moments.  There are some plot holes and meme worthy moments.

It was novel for the time, but Telltale and some of the Dark Pictures titles have done this style much better

I gave it a 4.  It WAS interesting at the time, but this studio's games have gotten more complex and less interesting.  Looking back on this one now, and I can simply think of so many other examples of "interactive fiction" that I'd rather play.

Probably not.  I'll just watch a movie if I wanna watch a movie.

This game was so hyped on release. I picked it up for cheap and found it to be rather average. I’d much rather play a VN. 4/10.

In my heart I understand that this game does not hold up to modern standards. But I somehow played through this game 3 times and watched my friend play through it once, so I mean, it's gotta be at least something. 7/10.

9 Jason's out of 10. I dunno I guess I'm in the minority but I love this game. Maybe I'm basing it off the first time I played it when the concept was fresh and really felt like watching a movie. I haven't played it in probably 10 years but I loved every minute with it.

I dunno. Interactive movies can be cool sometimes. I enjoyed Black Mirror:  Bandersnatch

I enjoyed it for what it was but the novelty kinda wore thin.  I would not have gone out of my way if I didn't already have Netflix.

I might give it a shot if it makes it's way to PS+.  Looks like it's a premium title at the moment.  Def not going to bite on the upgrade.

Not familiar with this one at all.
