Customer Ratings & Reviews

Beyond two souls is the latest attempt at an interactive movie, with some video game elements, from director/writer David Cage. The plot is just above mediocre, following the life of Jodie Holmes (played by Caroline Wolfson and the talented Ellen Page) and her imaginary friend, Aiden as they navigate through a series of events causing mischief, but the story is not bad either, just okay; however if this were a movie, I might have felt a bit cheated. The twists are not surprising, the story moves slow and the characters don't really deepen much throughout, but that might depend on some game play exploration with decision trees. Still, the story is interesting, even if it had me a bit bored at times, and the talent, of course is very decent to watch. The game advances with small interactions in scenes and quick time events. In that regards, this game might appeal to non traditional gamers as well as hard core gamers. The quick time events, though sometimes a bit challenging when they seem to come at you as you're focusing on a scene can be annoying the first time, are actually pretty easy to manage and sometimes add to the tension. For those who can't stand cut scenes and skip right through them in other story driven games, this game will probably not appeal to them, as this is mostly story and cinematic. One of the highlights of this game is the multiple endings and alternate scenes that develop based on one's game play, this adds to some replay value. One unnecessary let down for me, and it was totally based on an assumption that I had for absolutely no reason, is that I assumed this would be lest like Indigo Prophecy and Heavy Rain, and be more like Omikron: The Nomad Soul (another game from Cage), which was a truly unique gaming experience, but this game didn't offer much of a relationship there. It's almost as though Cage is trying to work something out, like a writer does when they write the same story with slight differences and forms until they finally nail it. That's what this game feels like, a slightly more advanced version of gaming and story telling than Indigo Prophecy and Heavy Rain. Did Cage nail it this time, I guess that is up to you. This game gets a good overall rating because though the story isn't mind blowing, it's decent for a play through, and the game play itself can add to some tension, it also had me bored and feeling repetitive. The balance of game and film feels a bit off, but not enough for me to want to put the game down. This game is great for a variety of gamers. I personally really only enjoy turn-based RPG's, but this game had me interested enough to progress through it, and I know I will play it again. On a side note, it even intrigued my wife who hates most video games, with a few exceptions like The Last of Us and Mario Kart, but she likes both this game and Ellen Page.

From what I have played so far, the graphics and game story are AMAZING! I am very happy with my purchase!

Good game with a good story. It's no boring like some reviews claim. Well worth the price

great graphics and acting. Controls are a bit wonky by design it seems.

Enjoyable story with minor glitches replay value high

If you take the game for what it is, an interactive story, it's hard to be disappointed. Not a ton of interactivity, but there is plenty of choice provided to the player. If you don't like quick time events, be aware that they make up about 70% of the gameplay.

Storytelling in a video game. And that's it. Sure there's some gameplay, but if you're really into getting a good story and you were a fan of Heavy Rain, this won't disappoint.

My son asked for this game and played it for hours. The storyline changes with your responses to situations, which was an interesting aspect. It is a beautiful game. He loved it.

The story line is intense but it glitches all the time and froze. The graphics are too much for the system to handle and the load times are slow. But still a wonderful game

The graphics, storytelling, and characters are really good in this game but I feel like they fell short in the gameplay a little bit. I loved Heavy Rain, this games spiritual predecessor, which is why I went into this with high expectations. It just felt like my choices didn't matter in this game. Like I had no control over what was going on. Like I was watching a movie that asked me to press a couple buttons every once in a while.

Interesting story, feels like a movie, but you have the power to influence the outcome. Highly recommended

I have the Washer & it is working great & the refrigerator Is big with 2 sides & large freezer at bottom.

I love this game...if you like games like heavy rain...you will love this! Awesome story

Besides the extremely-so-heavy dramatic scenes being a bust, you become quite enamored with Jodie and her transformation into adulthood.

Beyond: Two Souls didn't meet the standard set by Heavy Rain but it was still a good game. The story being told out of chronological order felt extremely unnecessary and made Jodie's character development uneven. The gameplay also lands a few rungs below that of Heavy Rain. If you haven't played a Quantic Dream game, you could go either way on this one and if you have, you'll probably find it at least mildly enjoyable.

I was really excited about this game because of the previous titles from Quantic Dream. This game feels very similar so if you're a fan of those then pick this up. What I really enjoy about this game is the co-op portion. It's perfect to play with my wife, who enjoys video games but isn't a gamer like myself. It's a wonderful experience to share with her and one of our favorite games.

This game is pretty legit, with different playing experiences for each level

Wow, the graphics are great and the story line...wow, just wow!

Like watching my husband play this one. Good story

I do not know what is the best description for this game. However, what I can say is that it looks like a movie where you, as a player, have the control of the outcomes. Simply, it is amazing and highly recommended.
