Re: BBC - Interactive Radio Drama



I actually found that the interactivity of this was counter-productive. If they'd just told it as a normal story, leading us through the relevant parts, I might have gotten more out of it. But letting us choose the perspective like this when we really have no pretext for making a selection just makes the thing confusing. In the end I just randomly clicked an arrow on a whim. But it would have probably been easier just to stick with one character all the way through.

Maybe if they'd been a little more adventurous with it, actually writing the script(s) so that it really makes a difference to your interpretation of the story which character you select, it might have worked. As it stands, the system doesn't add anything to the play, except a layer of confusion.

Thumbs down from me :(
Possibly good idea, but it seems to me that they had a good idea, then got scared by it and copped out, playing it safe and essentially doing nothing innovative at all.
