A game that embraced the challenge of innovation and uncharted territory in game design, and in all aspects of what is truly important to interactive storytelling it succeeded. Bringing voice controlled gameplay into the sci-fi horror space of the PS2 library, Lifeline provides an immersive and enjoyable video game experience. You might have heard naysayers detailing their difficulties with getting the main character, Rio, to understand their commands. But this is so often the remarks of those that spent the majority of their play time screaming and yelling incoherently into the microphone, without realizing the limitations of 2004 technology. If you speak with a clear voice and with a normal pace, she has an incredibly high rate of successfully understanding your commands. Due in great part to Kristen Miller's superb voice acting performance, you will come to love your time spent with this excellently designed character. For the gamers whose preferences align with those of the game designers from the PS2 era, Lifeline is a shining example of the unfiltered artistic direction and creativity that was characteristic of that time.
