The cult 2010 video game
Deadly Premonition gets a
Director's Cut this week. The
brainchild of a guy who calls himself
SWERY, one could make a strong case for
Deadly Premonition being the most entertainingly bizarre game ever made. It's undeniably
influenced by Twin Peaks and more than a touch of Japanese horror, yet that doesn't begin to explain how unique, disturbing and hilarious the game is. The humor is
intentionally unintentional. Everyone agrees there are significant gameplay problems, but the phrase "so bad it's good" does the game a
terrible disservice. "
Capable of swinging from zany to nasty, inspired to absurd
within the
course of a
single sequence," and
boasting an
eccentric, often inappropriate soundtrack,
Deadly Premonition is either a joke, a masterpiece or both. (Previously:
It's like watching two clowns eat each other.)
