Late Shift

What a surprise! I almost overlooked this title, and one could easily shrug it off after seeing the letters 'FMV'. However the execution here can be called perfect! Sharp HD visuals with excellent production values makes you feel like you're watching a recent modern film release. But the real draw here is the authentic Choose Your Own Adventure style gameplay which makes this both refreshingly casual, yet remarkably exciting! Its a gem that sufficiently scratches a major itch you never even knew you had! It's not perfect, as the video seems to pause on rare occasion, consequently having to briefly accelerate just to catch up (in my experiences). The only other quibble is that being a British game, some non-native players may have trouble following the heavily accented dialogue. There are subtitles, but they take something away from the overall cinematic presentation, in my opinion. Otherwise, the game is a very nice diversion, especially if you're looking for something somewhat unique!

i think they should release more of these things. I would buy more. Late Shift plays like one of those books were you get to choose the story. It feels just like that but is even more immersive. I like watching Late shift with groups who havn't played it yet to see what they choose. Great fun in a group! The only issue I have with it is sometimes the video hitches when making decisions but that is a small complaint. I had a lot of fun with this. I hope others will give it a shot! 👏🙂👍

For about the cost of a movie ticket, you can choose to watch a movie where you can make choices that change the way the movie plays out. After playing through twice, I decided to rate/review. As far as quality goes, the acting and special effects are pretty decent. I found no fault in the script, which kept my attention, and didnt bore me. I actually wanted to make it to the end of the movie. On my second play through, I decided to make diffrent choices just to see if it would really matter. There are a tiny few choices that just change the script a little, but a VAST majority of your choices actually change the route of the movie. I hope that Late Shift continues to sell well, so we will see more interactive movies come to Xbox Live. Nice job guys!

Saved this to playthrough with my husband and we both loved it. Seems to be a lot of variety and you can actually get entirely different scenes based on choices. As much or more than many telltale games. About 1.5 hrs to playthrough, my only negative is that the countdown timer is a little too fast to get group input on some decisions. Highly recommended.

Either you're a fan of FMV (full motion video), or you hate it. "Late Shift" is a movie that lets you make decisions changing how, and which, scenes play out. You're a nobody who gets pushed into a crime thriller. Unlike the blurry camp-fests FMVs of the past, the acting, sound, and video fidelity are well done. 7 possible endings. Scene transitions were a bit sloppy (abrupt cuts and video speed changes), but still pretty fun.
