Review of unusual suspects
This is a great game for family members. If you ask a question like does he have a smart phone, then you look for the people who don’t have a smart phone. It is confusing at first but it is an amazing game. I hope you enjoy!
United StatesI can't believe it
The game has great potential, but seriously I felt like I was just pick and choosing. It came down to 2 people- one who looked 90 years old and the other maybe 50. It said the culprit lives with their parents so I was releasing the one who looked maybe 50 and got it wrong. At the very least give a small bio of each character. It is not worth continuing.
United StatesWell at least you don’t shoot them...
1 star for artwork & stable and fluid programming. Now for the bad: Let’s just get to the point here - you play a police detective and the way you capture your criminal is through prejudicial profiling. You’ll do race profiling, gender profiling, age profiling, and you’ll even profile based on the suspects’ perceived sexual preferences. Example: “the culprit listens to heavy metal” - boom! Eliminate all the “dark skinned friends” (a description the game actually uses for an achievement), the women, the old people, and the effeminate guy with 1 earring. Because everyone knows only straight white guys like heavy metal! (WRONG). Two other examples of stereotype profiling they challenge you to do: people who don’t follow driving laws and people who don’t care about politics. In the game I played with those 2 clues all the people of color were eliminated as was the big redneck lumberjack/trucker looking guy. In fairness the game’s description says it calls on your ability to use negative stereotypes. I was hoping it would be in a satirical / social commentary way like many comedians do. It’s not. It is literally a test of your ability to profile based on stereotypes - and if you’re not good at that then keep playing and you’ll soon figure out that your “dark skinned friends” don’t like heavy metal or following highway laws. TL;DR: Ridiculous & offensive.
