Linger in Shadows: Art?

Well... this is an interesting topic. Linger in Shadows is titled on the PSN store as "Interactive Art". While I am a firm believer that video games can be art, this game is not one of them.



Linger in Shadows basically have you watching a video but having some cool motion controller moves. While the actually art style is cool in the game the game it self is not art per say. There is not much to say about it. Watch the movie and figure out how to go to the next screen when it does the crazy rewind when it reaches the end of the scean and forces you to find the path to move on. Some are as simple as pressing the O button or just shaking the controller wildly.

In short (even shorter than this post is) the game (to me) is not art. It is a nice tech demo showing off interesting ways of using the sixaxis but it is not art. But I guess art is like beauty, it is in the eye of the beholder.

I cant complain much though because this piece of "interactive art" is only three dollars. So i guess you cannot expect that much from it. The one good thing I can say about this game is that it has got some easy trophies. If you are looking to get another level on your PSN ID pick it up.
