Check out the Beyond: Two Souls review round up. The game that tries to be a movie?
Metro.co.uk 4/10
“As the game went on we began to realise that, particularly with the episodic nature of the storytelling, what it reminded us of was not a movie but a pop-up book. You can play with the small number of interactive elements all you like but the meat of the story is still predetermined and relatively inconsequential compared to the visual novelty of the experience.”

IGN 6/10
“Beyond: Two Souls is an ambitious opus, let down by lack of meaningful player choice and an unfocused plot.”

Eurogamer 6/10
“Perhaps what David Cage and his dream need are limitations – limitations that Sony’s blank cheque has singularly failed to impose on this sprawling, over-reaching game.”

Digital Spy 10/10
“Plot and cinematics are its greatest strengths, but when you factor in some of the finest graphics ever seen on the PS3 and the level of originality on offer, Quantic Dream’s masterpiece is worthy of superlatives.”
Forbes.com 9/10
“But the gorgeous animation, incredible musical score and fantastic performances from its A-list actors makes it a solid, memorable experience overall.”

GamesBeat 88/100
“Beyond is hands-down one of the most emotionally accomplished experiences I have ever had in a video game, and it’s enjoyable from start to finish. The controls and gameplay are tiresome, and they can be difficult to manage (or boring), but they’re of little consequence compared to the well-written story, the depth of the characters, and the empathy you feel toward them.”

Well, this is hard to judge. Seems opinion is really divided on Beyond: Two Souls.
