There's an elderly Log Lady-like lass who carries around an ever-cooling pot filled with God-knows-what instead of a log. The influence of David Lynch's odd opus is splattered all over the game's increasingly convoluted murder mystery. One of Deadly Premonition's many inspirations is the 1990s television drama Twin Peaks. But in context, they combine to create a truly unique experience that cribs from various sources but resembles none of them. In most games, Deadly Premonition's archaic gameplay mechanics and narrative quirks would be laughable, if not pitiable. And just as the story and gameplay cover remarkably varied ground, so too will your emotions waver, tossed about by funny characterizations, shocking twists, and touching revelations that will affect all but the most jaded players. But the foibles and frailties quickly fade when you realize that Deadly Premonition possesses one of video gaming's most treasured traits: unpredictability. These elements and more scream 'budget game,' and as well they should, considering the game's $20 price tag. There is no overlooking the shortcomings-the inappropriate sound effects, the flimsy visuals, and the impractical city map. But you should harbor no such misconception: Deadly Premonition is good because it's actually good.

Considering its feeble production values, ancient controls, and all-round nuttiness, it would be tempting to dismiss Deadly Premonition as merely 'so bad it's good,' as if this creepy and crazy horror adventure were entertaining because it's so laughably and horrifically misguided.
