I am still playing through as I have been hopping back and forth, playing each section again as the secondary character and just too improve my score. Pre-ordered on Amazon which gave me $20 back in credit with this purchase so I was not worried about getting my $$$ worth, but honestly would have been fine with the $60 as I am getting plenty of play for my $$. It may have helped that I was looking for a straight shooter after being disappointed with Brink. I hope some friends get this game so I can play co-op missions with them even though there are enough randoms online to get good games going and 4 different game types to squad up for.
So far not that scary, good sound effects but nothing really freaky yet. I feel like it is a solid 8 for a shooter but a 7 as a horror shooter if you are looking for the "fear" factor. Grenade throwing is sketchy AI is not as bad as some I have seen but still predictable.
So there is nothing really new at all with this game just nice combination of things that you have seen before if you like shooters. As some have said graphics are nothing to brag about but solid enough with not to many hick-ups but I gotta say to developers we have seen enough staged bloody rooms-not scary.
Really enjoyed the challenging game play overall and the scoring/leveling system which made me want to replay areas and improve/try new things. If you like to blow through games you may not like this as it is not the longest but still reasonably so compared to others and if you like multiplayer games you will make up the difference there.
Rent it if unsure then decide but I am glad I bought it.
