the gorillaz interactive narrative was definatly the most fun that i visited, and had the most audience interaction.i'm a big fan of the gorillaz anyway but the way thier interactive narrative was laid out meant you could spend hours on it without even noticing. the was a large variation of media used such as animation over the top of stills and music each time you clicked on something making it far more intresting. the layout generally was very good, although at first it seems to be messy, you start to look around and see that time has been taken of the structure, you also recognise that it is in setting with the gorillaz themselves. i liked the fact they chose not to have their songs just playing over the top and instead little exerts or weird sounds playing whenever something happens. the narrative also used the characters from the band to move you around the enviroment and help you find out what lies beneath the darkness of it all. after looking around for a while you realise theres a task bar at the bottom of the page which leads you to even more things you can do. you could see the gorillaz site as being confusing but the confusion turns into curiosity and pushes you to look further round the site.
theres some really clever parts in the narrative such as a computer in the virtual enviroment which allows you to go to links which let you buy thier music. they make this virtual world seem quite trippy and surreal.
