EB's Matt Heywood writes, "Murdered: Soul Suspect’s package seems like it would make for a great and unique gameplay experience thanks to the pairing of spirits with crime solving, but the lack of any sort of solid action brings down the overall experience. As a ghost one would think Ronan would have all sorts of paranormal abilities at his disposal, but all he can really do is teleport his being, or possess humans and electronic devices. These gameplay tactics get old very quickly and don’t really provide any sort of action based gameplay, which leaves the overall package feeling stale."
Gaming on a budget? Well, people are in luck! If they have a console, there are tons of great games for under $10, like these ten!

Ronan O'Connor is on the hunt for a murderer: his own. Airtight Games released Murdered: Soul Suspect in 2014 to mixed reviews. Has time been more forgiving? JDR is on the case in today's Brutal Backlog.
Kind of a let down after playing the demo at PAX East. Way too short, not enough action, crime scene solving gets boring fast.
I rented it at Redbox and played over the weekend. There was so much potential. The demons reminded me of Harry Potter.
I was a big fan of L.A. Noire, and was hoping that the whole detective work side of things in this game would be as good/better.
Sounds like I need to let this one slide by.
