Pocket Gamer:
Interactive movies haven't had a good reputation on iPhone, or in other game form either.
The technical challenges of generating enough high quality footage for a decent branching storyline has defeated many developers.
Coming out from a film background however The Weathered Underground seems to demonstrate a better grasp of what's required however.
AppSafari: This app is brought to us by Strange Mind Films and David Donihue and is a cinematic-choose your own story movie/game hybrid. It’s available for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad and is only appropriate for ages 17 and up… and it includes this review as well.
GameZebo: “One of the most important pieces of cinema ever made.” That’s how the creators of the interactive film The Weathered Underground have decided to describe their work, and it’s possibly one of the most hyperbolic statements ever made. While the idea of a choose-your-own-adventure film is interesting itself, it really only works is the movie it’s based around is also interesting. Which The Weathered Underground certainly is not.
