News:: Review: We Are Chicago

Movies often base their plotlines and characters on “true events” to try and elicit a cheap emotional reaction in audiences. When one learns that the events unfolding before them actually happened to someone, it should become a lot easier to sympathize with a character. Games tend to not do this too frequently.

Sadly, the end result feels devoid of life.
