Tin Salamunic: Deadly Premonition is ugly, broken, confusing, demented…and also one of the most extraordinary experiences of the decade. It disregards all conventional quality standards and plays by its own rules. It’s juvenile and careless, yet provoking and immersive. It fails as a traditional video game, but succeeds as a work of fiction. How much of its absurdity is intentional remains unclear, but this exceptionally orchestrated disaster has to be judged on its own merits. As one of those rare cases where the failures emphasize the strengths, Deadly Premonition achieves its individuality by being the Ed Wood of gaming – it’s so bad (well, more like odd) that it’s brilliant. Originally released as an Xbox 360 exclusive, Deadly Premonition has garnered a cult following and the reviews have been amusingly split amongst critics. While many despised the near broken gameplay and nauseating visuals, others praised its unique ruggedness as the holy grail of this generation. The Director’s Cut hopes to iron out some of the rough edges and reach the PS3 audience, but are the improvements enough to stretch beyond the game’s fan base or do they compromise the integrity of the original?
It’s hard to describe Deadly Premonition without one word, weird.
This doesn't give me comfort in giving the PS3 DC version ago. I imported the vanilla version on PS3 the year it released, and I found it was horrendous to attempt to play.
Probably the best, worst game ive played and beaten. I loved it but the gameplay was awful and yet the game was amazing.
Definitely the best worst game I Ever played, the gameplay and graphics are mediocre at best, but the soundtrack, the story, the people, the main character, the weirdness of it all, the pop culture references are amazing.
This game is extremely rough around the edges but it knows how to keep a player engaged and drawn into the story. A current gen full on remake would do it wonders or maybe that "B-class status" gives it charm and character.
A friend gave me her copy of DP to play, telling me that "it's so bad it awesome!" So I was like 'shit, sign me up!' Turns out-it's so bad, it's bad. It was like the video game equivalent of The Room. It got about 2hrs outta me and that was a wrap. I did not find its terribleness endearing. I found it boring. But hey, if it made people happy, mission accomplished. Just leave me out of it.
The game production value was horrendous but I really love the game. It could have been amazing but the lawsuit and changes it was forced to have because it was too much like Twin peaks killed a lot of it. Still one of my favorite games last gen

I can't wait to platinum in this game!
Can't help but feel that this score shows how pointless/counter productive numbered reviews are.
Anyone who knows anything about the game knows it has bad graphics and gameplay mechanics. That its the cult level story and presentation which makes it worth playing.
I don't understand how this game gets the raves it does. It is a bad game, every reviewer knocks it for shitty mechanics and what not.
Then they find the storyline charming or some nonsense, that suddenly makes the game 8-10/10 worthy? Game reviewers need to cut stuff like plot and characters out and focus on the actual gameplay, you know, what matters.
I am really confused...
Graphics 1.0
Gameplay 2.0
Value 10.0
Sound 10.0
how on earth does this come out to being a 10/10 game?
I understand everyone's confusion about the score, but this game can't by judged by traditional scoring standards. It's like saying Picasso's paintings were ugly..therefore they are unworthy of praise and appreciation. That's simply not the case and you guys just have to check it out to truly appreciate its bizarre and unique nature. :)
