Murdered Soul Suspect is a game that is hard to recommend in terms of gameplay and due to a lack of substantial content

There's nothing like a good murder mystery - and Murdered: Soul Suspect is nothing like a good murder mystery. It's a decent enough tale, punctuated by half-baked sleuthing, underused supernatural powers and forced stealth.

I wanted to like Murdered: Soul Suspect a lot more than I actually did and I truly mean that. The game started out well with main protagonist Ronan O'Connor being violently launched out of a fourth story window then shot to death with his own gun.

Investigating your own murder in extraordinary mediocrity.

A ghost of a chance.

Lots of interesting stories to piece together; Great sense of empathy as you learn why people passed away

Dull combat encounters; Lots of bugs and glitches; Severe tonal shifts

And it's that underdog likeability that rescues Soul Suspect from the lower reaches of the score table. It's a Good 6, that delightful strata of games that stumble in the technical aspects, but compensate with personality and charm, somehow all the more enjoyable for their imperfections.

Murdered: Soul Suspect is an adventure game in which you assume the role of a ghostly detective who must solve his own murder. The premise is intriguing and Soul Suspect certainly starts off strong, throwing a plethora of unique ideas at the player, but it doesn't take long for the cracks to show.

First things first, it is genuinely nice to see an almost new type of game, far away from FPS, Driving and Sports games that seem to dominate this and the last generation. The story is pretty good, as you play Ronan O'Connor, a man who has been brutally murdered.

Murdered: Soul Suspect begins on an unusual note, with the death of its main character. His name is Ronan O'Connor, a Detective working for the Salem Police Department. It is the pursuit of the Bell Killer that puts him in harms way.

I used the game to play a murder, suspense, roll play game. It was interesting but the new powers could have been better worked and emphasis on the natural background.

Graphics Were Good; Storyline Was Interesting

Powers Not Great
