The adventure game has seen a major decline over the past few years, gone are the glory days of Monkey Island and other Lucasarts titles, replaced by endless average shooters. Fahrenheit, however, changes that.
I bought Fahrenheit a fairly long time after it was released because I thought the plot and interaction system looked interesting. I was extremely pleasantly surprised. The graphics leave a little to be desired, but are pretty good considering this is a 6th generation title, the characters are well rounded and not too gung-ho (Each character has a noticeable weakness that will be played upon as the game progresses) and the plot is strong.
Now, a lot of people claim that the plot loses much of it's integrity towards the end of the game, whilst it is hard to deny that the last section of the game is not as gripping as the first parts I found the plot to only be as strange as that of some major Hollywood motion pictures, and considering that the series was originally supposed to be episodic and they had to rush it out it is easy to understand why the plot somewhat "Loses" it.
Voice Acting is superb, especially the leads (David Gasman and Sharon Mann as Lucas Kane and Carla Valenti), and is for the most part extremely convincing. The only real complaint I have with this game is several of the Stealth sections were mildly frustrating.
In conclusion, this game is a little unorthodox, and the plot much get a little strange towards the end, but it is a must play for those who want to try something that isn't about men with large guns grunting at one another.
