Today I am reviewing “THE INSIDER”, a Korean FMV courtesy of INTERS MEDIA Interactive Movie.
First and foremost, let me just say that this will probably be the fastest FMV game that you could play. With all five endings, you probably can beat the entire game in an hour.
With that being said, because it’s a short game, the question will be if it’s worth $4. Sure, you can purchase other FMV games which are longer but you ask yourself, is $4 a lot.
It’s about the experience and for the most part, for $4, I was entertained.
Now, hoping the developers know that Asian FMV has become very popular and profitable, they can make a longer game with context and making it many hours long, especially if it involves multiple characters and branching storylines.
This game, it’s not about branching storylines and multiple characters, it’s primarily about you making sure the protagonist doesn’t die. But of course, if you want to see the other endings, then you will want to see how those choices affect her.
Again, it’s only $4 and if it’s on sale, probably $2. But nevertheless, I was entertained and it was a cool experience worth the few dollars I paid for it and to get all endings took about an hour (or hour and half). Very easy game.
If this is cool to you, then check it out. Otherwise, knowing it’s a short game and if you don’t like that, then don’t get it.
But again, I like the idea behind it and didn’t mind the $4 experience. But I hope they expand the storyline or remake it to a full length storyline.
